As a proud member of the financially broken pigs (but still like south Korea) my town has 2 medieval castles, medieval walls, Renaissance villas, a medieval clock tower, churches older than 1000 a.c with mural paintings, Roman ruins and even the legend about the foundation thanks to a supposed Troyan fugitive and we are just small town of 15000 people. On the opposite unfortunately you cannot buid anything because there is always something that is hundreds of years old and has some artistic value according to a never heard before artistic association....
It's not a single Dutch tourist that is the problem. It's the fact they always come in groups. Not even on purpose. They just all role into to the same place creating a little Dutch colony wherever they go...
this is so true. As a kid I would walk through the camping site and if I saw any yellow license plates I would be so happy. Dutch people clump together lmao.
Both UK and Dutch are notorious for "lads" holidays where you never find just one tourist. It's always like a group of 10 just trashing whatever city they are visiting. The funny thing is that like this month the Netherlands clamped down British groups visiting Amsterdam. They can give it, just can't take it.
@@yeetuszilla1663 what are you talking about? London is already trashed if not a trash hole of a city, everybody in the UK hates London alongside Birmingham.
As a Swedish person, yes. Just the settlement where my cottage is, literally seven houses has more history than most american towns. There is literally Stone Age hunter gatherer hunting holes in the woods next to it and the summer house is built from wood from a pasture house. It is inhabited since at least the 15th century but probably much longer. And it is literally in the middle of nowhere.
As an American, I was blown away last year when I went to Sweden, and our Swedish friends were casually living in a cottage built in the early 1700s. The house I live in was built in 2011 and the city was founded in the 1870s.

My town in Italy has 7000 people living in it (it's a good number but it's the smallest village in the surroundings) and was first mentioned in the XI century but it has probably been there since the roman age as a post station. Has some renessaince frescos, a martyr died here, there is a XVII century mansion a pope lived in and some other frescos of a pretty known modern painter. This is basically the standard in Italy, the village next to mine has roman heritage and a XIV century church, the other one a neighborhood straight from the XV century and the other again a real medioeval fair still ongoing since like the XIII century
With 7000 the smallest village in your surroundings? I live in Germany in a village with maybe 100 people while the surroundings villages have about 200.
My town with 30k, was first mentioned in the 10th century as a Germanic hilltop fort which was given to the church. Stayed as an abey until the 14th century, after which it was sold to a French lord. I also had 2 chateaus on the street I grey up. One of them is completely pink, and was home to the first Belgian prime minister!

Yeah, doing research into local history will usually throw you back far into the Middle Ages and in southern Europe you'll be able to go even further back. (You're from a "one street village" in northern Italy? Yeah, that has probably been an Etruscan trading post at one point...)

Bro, I live in Belgrade, Serbia. Its history lasts around 7000 years, the first settlers being the Vinča people. About 115 wars have been fought over Belgrade throughout history. The city was annihilated about 40 times. It has endless stories, all of which are very interesting, and I still find something new about it every day.
Alaska had a brutal winter. Almost every day you see someone who is living their first winter in Alaska. You can tell just because their car has ether: found a 1200 pound moose who got ankle clipped and is now implanted in your windshield. The snow hid the road, so ya know, they drove where the road is not ( road lanes for the most part do not exist in deep winter). or the are just stuck in a stop light cus they drive whittle whittle car that isn't AWD.
GDP per capita and average salary is not the same thing in every country, also you need to consider how much of your average salary you spend on housing. A house is an important asset for an individual, but it is also a place to live. The market price of a house and the actual comfort of living in it are different things. South Koreans' after-tax salary is roughly similar to GDP per capita, and housing prices are relatively affordable. In fact, a middle-class individual in South Korea may be more affluent than in other countries with similar GDP. and that doesn't change the fact that South Korea is still a hardworking country too. 🙂

My irrelevant french town with 2000 innhabitants was founded by celtic people during the bronze age. It was near a roman camp during the empire, which is when it took its current name, which was deformed over the centuries. We know it was a trading hub with the roman militaries with concrete evidence dating from the reign of emperor Nero to at least the one of Caracalla. Some random roman noble built his villa near our town during the later years of the empire. After the fall, said villa was reused by medieval peasants and a new villa for one of the french kings from the merovingian dynasty was built there instead in the 6th century. It became pretty much irrelevant until the local count used the town to build a huge castle in the early 13th century. This led to a siege from a nearby rival duke who was mad at the count 20 years later. Then in the 15th century the castle became the main residence of the count's family and there they signed a treaty of marriage between the count and the duchess, which united both territories in one. It lost most of its importance after that as the new dukes left the castle to slowly decay. This led to local folklore of the ruins being haunted by the ghost of an ancient queen. The town was under the control of french troops led by Vauban in the 1660s. The current church was built over the previous one in the 1700s. After that the town became a small village known for its wine for a few centuries until Napoléon III decided to open a railway that went through it in the 1850s. The small village became an industrial town over night with a factory that is still operating today. Some guy who became an important figure in 19th century spiritism was born there. The usine was used for ammunition during WWI. The town was then occupied by the germans during WWII. As with most european villages, monuments were built to honor the locals who died during both worldwars. Our monument has a double that is shared with a town from the south west of the country. The last remanants of the old castle fell in the 1920s. The factory workers also managed to prevent the factory going under during the financial crisis of the 1970s. The last thing of note that happened to the town was probably 10 years ago. When our former mayor used to be the right hand man of the regional MP. They used their influence to build a lot of new buildings to support services that are not usually available in a small town. It's just some random small town with 2000 inhabitants
My town in germany is a suburb, you woul call it, to berlin. Basically a village that has a lot of amenities and small and medium stores and a train connection. It was founded in 1889, in 1899 my school was built and last week I researched ONLY my schools history. And there only the buildings not even the staff, curriculum etc. And i can now hold a presentation about it that would go at least half an hour if I included every single detail and I have only scratched the surface.
500 year history at most lol, and that's one of the biggest cities. You can find some random town in a European country and more often than not it will be at least twice as old as that, if not millennia older
chileans we speak spanish.... kinda, we speak really fast, use A LOT of slang and also sometimes just forget to put letters in words (example for teacher: profesor vs proesor
AS A BELGIUM PERSOON The family of knights Strombeke is already mentioned in the 12th century. When the land of Grimbergen was divided in 1197, Strombeek was assigned to the Perwijs-Vianden-Nassau branch, which remained local lords until the French Revolution. Bever, on the other hand, was always dependent on the abbey of Groot-Bijgaarden and the castle of Bever, which had been owned by the counts de Villegas de Clercamp since 1748. At the end of the ancien régime, both Strombeek and Bever became a municipality. In 1810, the separate municipalities were already dissolved and merged into the new municipality of Strombeek-Bever. The proximity of Brussels and the direct tram connection (1889) ensured that the rural character of the municipality gradually faded. Thanks to Leopold II, a wide avenue was built in 1895 between Strombeek and Laeken: the so-called Meiselaan was to form a prestigious connection between the castle of Laeken and the castle of Bouchout in Meise. The castle of Strombeek was located south of the village (on the site of the current Pastor Claeshof) but finally disappeared after a fire in 1917. Due to immigration from Brussels, this Flemish-Brabant village has also become quite French: where in 1846 98% of the population was Dutch-speaking, a hundred years later that was only 76%. This also gave rise to political commotion in the second half of the last century. Partly thanks to Ernest Soens (1904-1996), who was mayor there for 36 years, annexation to bilingual Brussels and the introduction of language facilities was avoided. This happened, among other things, because of his refusal to carry out the so-called language census. He also had two French-speaking FDF (Liberté et Démocratie) elected members of the city council removed from the council chamber with the help of the police because they had refused to take the oath in Dutch but still wanted to participate in the election of the members of the COO. In 1971, Ernest Soens was the first to be awarded the Order of the Flemish Lion for his efforts. To further strengthen the Flemish character of Strombeek-Bever, the Cultural Center was opened in 1973, which functions as a cultural center for the whole of Grimbergen and the north-western edge of Brussels. Strombeek-Bever remained an independent municipality until December 31, 1976 and has been part of the merged municipality of Grimbergen since January 1, 1977.

As a brazilian trying to research his ancestry, wikipedia goes like, "A farmer liked the place in the 18 hundred's, anyway, in 1952 it became a municipality", it's so annoying, and it is for the entire region".
Lot of people forget that Polans were already established tribal coalition, before baptism. It is believed that Vistula Veneti were they direct ancestors. Though official first contact with Slavs was Serbia (Sclaveni) in 6'th century. Russia actually formed in 16'th century. Prior to that Muscovy were Mongol slaves.
My home city was first mentioned in writing a mere 1110 years ago, but archeological finds date it's foundation by the franks to around the year 700. Now of course there are older settlements in the city limits, but those were two separate wall forts from the Hallstatt and La Tene times (800BCE to 1AD) so not really precursors of my city. So yeah, a tad short of 3K years, but just a tad.
Native American sites from 10,000 BC has been found near my city, but it was founded by Europeans in the 1800s? So does my American city have a history of 200 years or 12,000? Europeans will say the former and Native Americans the latter.
@@greatwolf5372 Actually most Europeans will agree with the Native Americans. Only Muricans will tend to ignore everything that isn't about themselves.
@@greatwolf5372 Both and neither at the same time. It's not part of the US as a country, it's part of the territory. 200 years is the history of the city of the US. 12,000 is the history of the territory and the indigenous Americans. The former is part of the country, the latter isn't (or barely)

Meanwhile my random village in Brabant that is just one street has a legend dating it back to the 700s and it was already a place of pilgrimage in 1100.
Yeah, doing research into local history will usually throw you back far into the Middle Ages and in southern Europe you'll be able to go even further back. (You're from a "one street village" in northern Italy? Yeah, that has probably been an Etruscan trading post at one point...)
You missed the reality of Finland, everything's spread out a bit more, trying to keep more distance.

If you think it's weird that you were taught Castilian Spanish in school, in Western Canada, the French taught is Parisian French, which differs from Quebec French (which is the most commonly spoken dialect in Canada).
For real? I had no idea. But they still teach in Quebec french?
@@ssebasgooOf course! Québécois French is the mother tongue of the majority of Québécois, so the education system is mostly in French
Castillian spanish? Weird thing. That is like saying "wet water" or "hot fire".
@@alroma5869you know that Spanish has different versions even in Spain, castillian Spanish isn't the only neither is the most speaked
@@j-aiu6403 Oh yes, i know that very well. I wouldnt call them "versions" though, they are called accents, its the same language, but with minor changes in pronunciation and some words added because of local culture differences.
Bro, I live in Belgrade, Serbia. Its history lasts around 7000 years, the first settlers being the Vinča people. About 115 wars have been fought over Belgrade throughout history. The city was annihilated about 40 times. It has endless stories, all of which are very interesting, and I still find something new about it every day.
Alaska had a brutal winter. Almost every day you see someone who is living their first winter in Alaska. You can tell just because their car has ether: found a 1200 pound moose who got ankle clipped and is now implanted in your windshield. The snow hid the road, so ya know, they drove where the road is not ( road lanes for the most part do not exist in deep winter). or the are just stuck in a stop light cus they drive whittle whittle car that isn't AWD.

They teach Mexican Spanish, it's the easiest to learn and you'll probably get more use out of it, if you're from the U.S.
GDP per capita and average salary is not the same thing in every country, also you need to consider how much of your average salary you spend on housing. A house is an important asset for an individual, but it is also a place to live. The market price of a house and the actual comfort of living in it are different things. South Koreans' after-tax salary is roughly similar to GDP per capita, and housing prices are relatively affordable. In fact, a middle-class individual in South Korea may be more affluent than in other countries with similar GDP. and that doesn't change the fact that South Korea is still a hardworking country too. 🙂

My irrelevant french town with 2000 innhabitants was founded by celtic people during the bronze age. It was near a roman camp during the empire, which is when it took its current name, which was deformed over the centuries. We know it was a trading hub with the roman militaries with concrete evidence dating from the reign of emperor Nero to at least the one of Caracalla. Some random roman noble built his villa near our town during the later years of the empire. After the fall, said villa was reused by medieval peasants and a new villa for one of the french kings from the merovingian dynasty was built there instead in the 6th century. It became pretty much irrelevant until the local count used the town to build a huge castle in the early 13th century. This led to a siege from a nearby rival duke who was mad at the count 20 years later. Then in the 15th century the castle became the main residence of the count's family and there they signed a treaty of marriage between the count and the duchess, which united both territories in one. It lost most of its importance after that as the new dukes left the castle to slowly decay. This led to local folklore of the ruins being haunted by the ghost of an ancient queen. The town was under the control of french troops led by Vauban in the 1660s. The current church was built over the previous one in the 1700s. After that the town became a small village known for its wine for a few centuries until Napoléon III decided to open a railway that went through it in the 1850s. The small village became an industrial town over night with a factory that is still operating today. Some guy who became an important figure in 19th century spiritism was born there. The usine was used for ammunition during WWI. The town was then occupied by the germans during WWII. As with most european villages, monuments were built to honor the locals who died during both worldwars. Our monument has a double that is shared with a town from the south west of the country. The last remanants of the old castle fell in the 1920s. The factory workers also managed to prevent the factory going under during the financial crisis of the 1970s. The last thing of note that happened to the town was probably 10 years ago. When our former mayor used to be the right hand man of the regional MP. They used their influence to build a lot of new buildings to support services that are not usually available in a small town.
It's just some random small town with 2000 inhabitants
Big W , my city had one of historic indian battle i.e kalinga war in about 3rd century BC
My town in germany is a suburb, you woul call it, to berlin. Basically a village that has a lot of amenities and small and medium stores and a train connection. It was founded in 1889, in 1899 my school was built and last week I researched ONLY my schools history. And there only the buildings not even the staff, curriculum etc. And i can now hold a presentation about it that would go at least half an hour if I included every single detail and I have only scratched the surface.

AS A BELGIUM PERSOON
The family of knights Strombeke is already mentioned in the 12th century. When the land of Grimbergen was divided in 1197, Strombeek was assigned to the Perwijs-Vianden-Nassau branch, which remained local lords until the French Revolution. Bever, on the other hand, was always dependent on the abbey of Groot-Bijgaarden and the castle of Bever, which had been owned by the counts de Villegas de Clercamp since 1748. At the end of the ancien régime, both Strombeek and Bever became a municipality. In 1810, the separate municipalities were already dissolved and merged into the new municipality of Strombeek-Bever.
The proximity of Brussels and the direct tram connection (1889) ensured that the rural character of the municipality gradually faded. Thanks to Leopold II, a wide avenue was built in 1895 between Strombeek and Laeken: the so-called Meiselaan was to form a prestigious connection between the castle of Laeken and the castle of Bouchout in Meise. The castle of Strombeek was located south of the village (on the site of the current Pastor Claeshof) but finally disappeared after a fire in 1917.
Due to immigration from Brussels, this Flemish-Brabant village has also become quite French: where in 1846 98% of the population was Dutch-speaking, a hundred years later that was only 76%. This also gave rise to political commotion in the second half of the last century. Partly thanks to Ernest Soens (1904-1996), who was mayor there for 36 years, annexation to bilingual Brussels and the introduction of language facilities was avoided. This happened, among other things, because of his refusal to carry out the so-called language census. He also had two French-speaking FDF (Liberté et Démocratie) elected members of the city council removed from the council chamber with the help of the police because they had refused to take the oath in Dutch but still wanted to participate in the election of the members of the COO. In 1971, Ernest Soens was the first to be awarded the Order of the Flemish Lion for his efforts.
To further strengthen the Flemish character of Strombeek-Bever, the Cultural Center was opened in 1973, which functions as a cultural center for the whole of Grimbergen and the north-western edge of Brussels.
Strombeek-Bever remained an independent municipality until December 31, 1976 and has been part of the merged municipality of Grimbergen since January 1, 1977.

Lot of people forget that Polans were already established tribal coalition, before baptism. It is believed that Vistula Veneti were they direct ancestors. Though official first contact with Slavs was Serbia (Sclaveni) in 6'th century. Russia actually formed in 16'th century. Prior to that Muscovy were Mongol slaves.

My home city was first mentioned in writing a mere 1110 years ago, but archeological finds date it's foundation by the franks to around the year 700. Now of course there are older settlements in the city limits, but those were two separate wall forts from the Hallstatt and La Tene times (800BCE to 1AD) so not really precursors of my city.
So yeah, a tad short of 3K years, but just a tad.
The first people settled where I live around 1500BCE, but the town wasn’t officially founded until the 6th century
Native American sites from 10,000 BC has been found near my city, but it was founded by Europeans in the 1800s? So does my American city have a history of 200 years or 12,000? Europeans will say the former and Native Americans the latter.
@@greatwolf5372 Actually most Europeans will agree with the Native Americans. Only Muricans will tend to ignore everything that isn't about themselves.
@@greatwolf5372 Both and neither at the same time. It's not part of the US as a country, it's part of the territory. 200 years is the history of the city of the US. 12,000 is the history of the territory and the indigenous Americans. The former is part of the country, the latter isn't (or barely)
