Some of the insane facts in this video:
The United States once tried to buy Greenland out for $100 million. Canada's border with the United States is the world's longest international border, at 8,890 km. This compares with the 6,846-km boundary between Russia and Kazakhstan and the 5,308-km frontier between Chile and Argentina. The dead sea is so salty that it is 10 times saltier than the pacific ocean, it’s the saltiest sea in the world and it’s even so salty that you are able to float on it.
Venezuela has the highest crime rate with an index of 83.76, followed by Papua new guinea with 80.79 and South Africa with 76.86.

Portuguese is also an official language in Guiné-Bissau, São Tomé e Príncipe and East Timor. So it’s not official in only 5 countries but rather 8.
Isn’t it Papua New Guinea as well
Yeah

The "Tree That Owns Itself" is in Athens, Georgia, USA, not Greece.
Grr not the European copying state again
the picture is straight up from the Athens, Georgia stock and if you look up that tree, it says it is in Athens, Georgia. FFS, you can see the American flag in the background. HAHAHA this video is full of so many flaws and has no credibility!
Georgia should sue Greece for stealing the Athens name !
King George V was never at war with Nazi Germany. He was at war with the German Empire, ruled at the time by his first cousin Kaiser Wilhelm ii. The war with Nazi Germany was the second world war, which began in 1939. George V died in 1936. Also, " Santo Domingo" can also be translated as "Saint Dominic.
Also, Ireland was a republic by the time the second world war begun.
You should have also mentioned Canada's other land border. It is the 3rd shortest in the world.
It is with Denmark. it is 1280meters long, it is on Hans Island in the Arctic.
Zambia-Botswana border is even shorter - just 150 metres at all. However it's river border.
Together They Can Do Everything For: 1299 metres tall with an iron frame under a steel plate that can hold a small object and can hold up for a few seconds while it moves around in the sun or sun 1-5 meters above. This allows for the size and weight to increase in size as the material can move in and move at $391.23 dollars a square foot and a half of a mile.
Thank you for sharing your experience. 😊
Sao tome and principe and East timor left the chat
And Macau?
@@tabletgenesis3439 not a country
@@onyxisgone debated
@@CrazaVindicatorGD its not UN recognized but i suppose yes its debatable
@@onyxisgone kosovo palestine and more are countries aren't un official but are still countries and still debate
8:00 You don't know how happy this made me.
No problem mate!
its should have been GigaChad instead of MegaChad
😱😱😱 05:09 This is just wrong. Although George V was at war with Germany during the FIRST World War (1914-1918), he was NEVER at war with Nazi Germany, as he died in 1936, and World War II only started in 1939, at which time George VI was king.
As for Ireland, it was partitioned in 1922 into Northern Ireland (6 counties), and the Irish Free State (36 counties) which would become the current country of Ireland. Although it was not declared independent by the British until 1948, Ireland abolished the monarchy in 1936 and adopted its new constitution in 1937. They did not declare war on Germany because they were no longer British subjects.
5:50 as an Italian I can confirm that "dai" means "come on" great video as always btw
Thanks man, love the support!
but we say dai no die
@@GerbilloOriginal exactly
so its like dai dai dai!!!!!!!
It’s also like American term “gimme”
Almost 5,000 Irish joined the Allies to fight the Axis Powers in World War 2. Ireland helped the Allies with intelligences, weather forecasts, and opening up shipping routes. Many ships from the USA first stopped in Ireland.
Ireland was suppressed by the Brits for centuries, and their Civil War with Britian only ended six years earlier. Officially, they couldn't look like they were on England's side. In reality, their help was crucial to turning the tide. So please give Ireland some credit and slack.

Norway left the chat in coastline
@AustralianBall 🇦🇺 it’s still disputed because of the coastline paradox
Norway’s coastline is NOTHING to Canada’s coastline though, Norway is probably in 96th-14th place.😅
@Aussie-Editswhat
@@TheXentonNorway 2nd Canada 1st
@@chaitanyaprasadsharmabajga8544NOT True
Great video but I have to correct you on 2 things:
The longest coastline depends a lot on how you are measuring it, but I think that Norway has the longest one.
The lowest temperature was -71° in oymyakon in Russia.
But as an Italian I have to confirm that "dai" means come on 😂
Thanks for the support, however The longest coastline is Canada.
Nah it’s Norway
@@Den_Norke_torsken What source are you using?
@AustralianBall 🇦🇺 yeah that’s what I always see when I see measuring coastline
@@earthbasics10it depends on the coastline paradox and how you measure it. The vast majority of standard measurement increments say canada has the longest coastline, but one could argue that it’s actually norway if you theoretically measure in an infinitely small increment. However, that’s literally impossible with current technology to prove whether that’s true or not so it’s usually accepted as being Canada until some aliens come along to prove us wrong or smthn
Hi! The island shared by Dominican Republic and Haiti is also called Santo Domingo or Hispaniola. The natives before colonization called the island Quisqueya that means Mother of all islands in Taino language.
Also, 10:26 Taínos gave the world sweet potatoes, peanuts, guava, pineapple and tobacco-even the word 'tobacco' is Taíno in origin!
The name of the island is La Española
pineapple is native to Paraguay
India 🇮🇳 has two gulfs that are found in gujarat
12:08 the Netherlands don't serve beer at McDonald's
In France they do. It's even mentionned in the movie Pulp Fiction.
I am Kenyan and I have NEVER heard of a sport called nightrunning. That's complete fiction!
@11:38 The Swiss and Vatican flags ARE rectangular, the square is a subset of rectangle whose sides are all the same length.
Correction for 10:23
Technically, "Saint Sunday" is the literal translation but
the name is actually derived from a Spanish saint
named "St. Domingo/Dominic de/of Guzman"
which is which the Dominican Republic's name is that.
And it's also the oldest capital city in the western hemisphere
@@olanwomisko6116 Mexico City, the capital of Mexico used to be called Tenochtitlan and it was founded 171 years before Santo Domingo (St. Dominic - not St. Sunday)... however within the city limits of Mexico City are other even more ancient capitals: Teotihuacan founded in 1,400 BC and Cuicuilco founded 600 BC.
@@SquidProQuo80 cool I didn't know that. But I think Santo Domingo was the first capital city in the New World declared by Spanish if we're counting post Colombus
10:46 There are also Sao Tome 🇸🇹 and Prinicipe 🇸🇹 and Guinea 🇬🇳 Bissau 🇬🇼 speaking Portuguese🇵🇹🇧🇷🇦🇴🇨🇻🇲🇿
And also little bit in Equatorial Guinea 🇬🇶 🇬🇳
11:39 And also Ohio flag non recrangular
Timor leste also speaks Portuguese. This guy doesn't know what he's talking about
Ohio is not a country
Guinea Ecuatorial speaks Spanish, not Portuguese
9:10 Malta is another flag that has a dragon in it.
which is being stomped by a horse (inside the cross)
Technically... the Swiss and Vatican City flags are still rectangular as all squares are rectangles
While set of the 3 artifacts that were discovered in Iraq in 1936 were called the Baghdad Battery, there was never a battery in the items. There have been many expirments and recreations of this item, but the results are inconclusive at best. To quote Professor Elizabeth Stone in 2012, who is an expert on Iraqi archeology, who returned from the first archeological expedition there in 50 years, "[she] does not know a single archaeologist who believed that these were batteries." That includes archeologists of many nations - including Iraq who are experts in their field.
Also if salt used to be currency in Rome, is that where the word salary comes from?
Yes
Sao Tome and Principe and East Timor speak Portugese.
The flag of Malta features a dragon in the emblem as well.
The shortest land border is between Morocco and Spain.
The flags of Vatican and Switzerland ARE rectangular since all squares are rectangles.
+guinea bissau
Wrong. The botder between Spain and Morocco is 159 km long, not the shortest in the world
The tree that owns itself is in Georgia, USA
Athens, Ga not Athens Greece
Fun fact - did u know there is a country called Australia on the planet too???
Would have been nice to have @ least some mention..
Like did u know our coastline here is 34 000 km, MUCH more than the US
Yes yes yes was about to say the same thing!! Pathetic isn't it that this video doesn't mention the best country in the world!! Cheers xo
@@allisonmccarthy1584 I couldn’t agree more! AND I can still say that after traveling to 38 others!
♥️Australia ♥️
Shontelle I think Australia is one of the most mentioned countries on my channel. I have even told about the fact it takes like 25 years to visit each coast in Australia.
Australia is one of the most discussed countries on this channel. Nothing pathetic Allison.
How could Jamaica be the first western country to build a railroad if they did it 18 years after britain a western country
George V was dead before WWII started, and even if he was alive, Ireland was an independent Republic by the time WWII started, so he wasn't the King of Ireland.
This is a fascinating assortment of facts, let down by multiple spelling mistakes in the graphics.
Fun video. But Santo Domingo means Holy Sunday. The word santo or santa means both saint and holy.
If ur gonna put “facts” in the title. Make sure that everything is true and that ur saying the country names correctly
There are more lies in this video than truths
@@staticshockk exactly
Ireland gained independence from Britain long before WW2
There’s no beer sold at McDonald’s in the Netherlands.
Australia has 34,000km of coastline.
There are so many spelling errors in this.
The Baghdad battery has never been proven to actually be a battery.
5:10 WWII started in 1939, and King George V was no longer king. It was actually his son, King George VI.
This might be surprising, but Norway actually has the second longest coastline.
Yes and the Philippines, Japan and Australia have longer coastlines than the USA.
Depends on how you measure
@@tracejones5952 Exactly! Because of the fractal structure of a coastline you can say as smaller the measuring scale (S) is as longer the coastline C gets. In the end the coastline becomes infinite (at least if you see as as an mathematical object).
This is the first time I have ever watched a RUclips video where the comments were more entertaining than the actual video.😂😂😂😂
2:29 that tree is not in Greece, it's in Athens, Georgia, USA.
Came here to say this. I drive by it several times a day.
11:16 spain’s national anthem has no words
7:11 you misspelled Kazakhstan
It's Maur-ri-SHUS not Maur-ri-dius
5:52 as an Italian i would like to make a little clarification. It's not actually written "Die" but it's "Dai". Yes, the pronounciation is the same, it's just written differently
12:07 There ain't no beer at Mac here in the Netherlands man
The shortest international border is between Spain and Morocco on the Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera.
Portuguese is also an official language in Timor-Leste, together with Tetum
Norway's coastline is 100.915 km long, the second longest after Canada. And it's not even on your top 5.
I love your videos!, but i Malta and Sri Lanka also have dragons on their flag!
The Sri Lankan flag has a lion on it, not a dragon.
11:39 square is a rectangle, and this is something that even Americans learn in elementary school
7:24 thats not a monkey
So many errors. You’re right about these facts being useless
Please tell me you're not referring to the Baghdad Batteries, those have been debunked several times over.
4:10 is really ironic considering they went to war with the holy land
Awesome video!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
11:54 ?
4:17
Find the mistake
“Hidhuism”
2mistake
Nepal is most Hindu country
11:38 Technically square is a special kind of rectangle, so only Nepal has a nonrectangular flag
6:41 thats the moon during a lunar eclipse tho
10:37 I think you've just insulted the countries of
Guiné Bissau 🇬🇼
Guiné Equatorial 🇬🇶
São Tomé e Princepe 🇸🇹
Timor Leste 🇹🇱
Along with Macau in China 🇲🇴🇨🇳 and Goa in India 🇮🇳
equatorial guinea is spanish as far as I know
@@wydadiyoun They have Pprtuguese, Spanish and French as their "oficial languages"
Portuguese is not an official language in Goa. It ceased to be in 1961, when the former Portuguese territories of Goa, Daman and Diu were annexed by India. Nowadays about 10,000-15,000 people know and speak it to some degree in said territories.
However, Portuguese is still an official language in Macau. Unfortunately, it is a dying language there as only 2-3% of the population speak it.
As a cypriot i have to explain that we use the greek national anthem because we consider our selves greeks
Quite normal outside of cities in Norway to leave your baby in the stroller outside the supermarket etc if the kid is sleeping. We also put on the kids a thick cover and some clothes and put them outside in the stroller in winter temperatures, they sleep.... like babies :)
Mexico D.F. also has an abbreviation at the end.
Most percent of cristians has Vatican city 🇻🇦✝️, there are 100% of Christians
At 8:20, the real shortest land border is between Spain and Morocco in the town of Gomera
10:40 you make a mistake there are 9 in total, you forgot, Sao Tomé and Principe, Equatorial Guinea, East Timotand Guinea Bissau and what's more they are all part of the community of Portuguese-speaking states founded in 1996
Don't forget Macau...though not an independent country per se, it has great autonomy within China and Portuguese as an official language.
7:11 **KAZACHSTAN* 💀💀
In Brazil it's Football too
Timor-Leste has Portuguese as a official language
*Timor-Leste correction
10:45 São Tomé and Príncipe & Timor-Leste also speak Portuguese 🇸🇹🇹🇱🇵🇹🇧🇷🇦🇴🇲🇿
Nice video😊😊😅😅😊
Thanks Fixon, love your support on all my videos!
Bratislava does not border Hungary, only Austria
8:38 Speaking of borders South America is the only continent where every country borders at least two others. Papua New Guinea is Oceania's only country with a land border.
Pfft, Berlin only gets an average of 6H of sleep? Pathetic. I get 5 minutes, right before my alarm.
1:54 Someone in my class is named Matti
11:38 you forgot Belgium, although it has a13:15 ratio which is barely a square
he said rectangle
More Errors (aside from horrendous spelling, e.g., 'boms'):
9:03 The flag of Bhutan has no red, white, or blue. Your other video claimed only Jamaica.
11:37 A square is a rectangle, so Nepal is the only flag that's not a rectangle.
I noticed that too. I also left a comment stating Kuwait had camel races before 2006. I saw camel racing signs everywhere in 2003 before we went into Iraq. So I'm guessing the creator of this video is talking out his ass.
Norway has the longest caosrline
9:42 The thousands separator is a comma, not a full stop.
Someone should have proof checked this item before posting!

The channel was turned into a tombolo and the island became a peninsula, connected to the Moroccan coast by an 85 m (278.87 ft) long sandy isthmus, which is the world's shortest single land-border segment.
If you do facts about India, add-
1. The world's wettest place Cherrapunji is located in India.
2. Chhattisgarh is known as "Rice bowl of India" but in top rice producing states, it's rank is 7 and 7 is lucky number of India.
I’m honestly shocked that Spain doesn’t have the most sleep. They love a good siesta and stay up until 2am, presumably to sleep more.
Portuguese is also the official language of three other countries you missed.
São Tomé and Príncipe, Guinea-Bissau, and East Timor
If african lake called megachad it must called gigachad
Mega chad lake:🗿

4:38 That fact has been debunked. IT'S. NOT. A. BATTERY. Got that?
7:26 I've been doing it every day, but i never knew it was a sport!!!!
2:57 For the LAST time.......the thousad serparator is a comma.....not a full stop.
Depending on the country, most actually use a dot, and a comma as decimal seperator.

Athens, Georgia, US, also has a Tree That Owns Itself.
I really thought it was just gonna be 100 different countries favorite sport
Doesn't Australia have a longer coastline than US and China?
Interesting spelling of bombed at (10:55) which you have as "bomebd". Is it "vegetarian" or "vegetarion"? 😉
The Baghdad battery was never proven to be a battery though.
1:50 it’s liegal to name those names In the world
