Another thing about "poor people -> many kids" is that for many people who are subsistance farmers and similar a child is less an economic liability and more another potential helping hand.
yeah I would say it's not so much "poor people = many kids" and rather "rich people = few kids"
Something interesting to note about the DR-Haiti border is that when you just look at the two sides, you can see that the Dominican side is much greener than the Haitian side. And this is because of many factors. Geography, charcoal demands, and the French. There was a lot of deforestation in 1954 after Hurricane Hazel drowned many trees, and concessionaires stepped up their logging operations in response to intensified demand for charcoal on top of rapid population growth. The geographic makeup of the Island of Hispaniola is such that the mountainous regions tend to cut off the rainfall needed to grow crops and sustain livestock. The northeast trade winds that blow across the island often favor the DR.
Compared to the DR, the area of flat land good for intensive agriculture in Haiti is much smaller, as a higher percentage of Haiti's area is mountainous. There is more limestone terrain, and the soils are thinner and less fertile and have a lower capacity for recovery. Haiti's semiarid climate makes cultivation more challenging. On top of this, the French destroyed the soil by aggressively harvesting the same crops over and over again. France wanted the colony to be extremely profitable. Not just sugar, but coffee too. Over the course of fifty years, a quarter of the colony was all coffee with the original forests cleared. They were also forced to export timber as part of paying off 90 million francs as compensation to France.
Sometimes I wish I was a bit more heighty.
Don’t we all? Haha.
😂

I’m just glad I could think of the three H countries.
Letter X will be interesting so many countries

He can get creative with “Xtonia” or “Xwatini.”
Twitter is going to be such an interesting country. Can’t wait
0:18 HEIGHTEE 💀💀
High Tea 😁
I mean…he’s pronouncing it closer to how it’s actually supposed to be. In French & Haitian Creole it’s pronounced Eye-ee-tee (Haïti/Ayiti, the H is silent)
and yet he says heytian 🤔
@@rasmusn.e.m1064It’s almost like he’s following his natural English phonology while still making an effort to pronounce the name of the country correctly… go figure.
Haitian flag lore: The first purely Haitian flag was adopted in May 1803, on the last day of the Congress of Arcahaie. Haitian lore holds that the newly appointed revolutionary leader Jean-Jacques Dessalines created the flag by taking a French tricolor and ripping out the white center, which he discarded. He then asked Catherine Flon, his god-daughter, to sew the remaining bands together. Following his proclamation as Emperor Jacques I, Dessalines promulgated a new constitution in May 1805. In it, the colors of the flag were altered to black and red. This flag being subsequently adopted by Henri Christophe, the republicans under Alexandre Pétion returned to the colors blue and red, turning them horizontal, and adding the then newly adopted Haitian coat of arms!
Between 1964 and 1986, the family dictatorships of François "Papa Doc" and Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier returned to Dessalines' black and red design. The picture of the coat of arms in the middle used to be much bigger, but it shrunk to its current size in 1986.
Jokes on you I didn't pay for this video with watching an ad. I paid with RUclips Premium.
Annnnnnnnd this Advent Country Letter Day has been officially deposed.
Well I've been to Haiti twice so I guess I didn't follow the travel advice.
12:07 That's a bit extreme and unfair. Most of the countryside is very safe.
it’s pronounced hay-tee
You forgot The Holy See dude
thats the government of the Vatican City, not the country name
Brits always have to make everything about themselves. Like in this very video, toycat mentioned the uber-British “high tea” over 50 times.
I had that same light but I dropped it and it broke 😢
Just fly into Cap-Haitian and you'll be fine. Don't go anywhere near Port-au-Prince.
Isn’t it hayti; not hi-ti
British accent.
@@GavinLepleyim british and all my teachers used to call it hate-E when we learned about it in school so i think its just toycat
Locally it's pronounced like I-E-T. So as bothersome as you may find his pronunciation, he's actually much closer to the French/Creole pronunciation than the standard English pronunciation 🤷♂️
Everything that happens is cause and effect. I can’t imagine that Haiti would have the history of governmental instability and corruption that it has had if the Western world hadn’t colluded for a long time to keep the nation in a constant state of poverty. “The West” owes Haiti reparations. (Of course, “The West” owes a lotttt of countries reparations.)
Honestly its sad how few comments about your genuinely balanced takes and views there are. Your thoughts about birth rates being high in poor countries are so interesting. Un-ironically you are truly impressive
Wonder what the most populous country under Q will be?🤔
Maybe Quénia ("Kenya" in Portuguese)
X should be a wild video
Qatar
@@rhysgravell8413The letters without any nations (like X) will be excluded
That will make it 24

Haich, hi tea; it sounds like he’s saying everything wrong. Also no way Hungary has 11 million people. Haiti, yes. Honduras, possible. Hungary, ehhhhhh
Didn’t Christopher Colombus first land on an island in the Bahamas?
Nah the consensus is he reached la hispañola first
You gonna do america After Intervention In every Conflict?
I think Haiti cut down most of its trees whereas the DR did not.
haitch
Please choose Lebanon for L!!
Wtf is zed and wtf is hache
Letters made up by the British to confuse Americans. H and Z were left out in favor of zed and hache to keep the count at 24
Italy tomorrow?
India
@@jje7683 at the end he chose Indonesia

Cyprus and northern Cyprus? 2:12
northern cyprus isnt a country
UK owns some too. So is not just split between the two countries
Shoulda been HUNGARY 🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺HUNGARY BEST COUNTRY!!!
No
Looking at the map I'm reminded how pathetically small Jamaica is compared to Cuba and Hispaniola. As a child of the 70s/80s it was the most important country in the Caribbean, with places like Trinidad or Antigua down the list. Sad to say the bigger islands didn't fall under the British Empire.
Did E just disappar or am I insan?
Porque no los dos?
@@Corwin256 ?
*insane *disappear
Yes, yes you are. E is still on his channel and it's Ethiopia
@@TheOnlyCaprisun it's an old meme from a taco bell commercial, of all things. It means "why not both" in Spanish.
@@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un Thank you, Kim. And the words were intentionally spelt like that, as if the letter “E” disappeared. My bad, I probably didn’t see it. YT is being weird for me lately.
Edit: I completely forgot I watched the video. I’m such a dumbass.
Hi @ibx2cat for Z pplease do either Zambia or Zimbabwe
