Why Countries Are Landlocked + Canals
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 дек 2016
- Why are some countries landlocked? In the case of Bolivia its because they lost a war with Chile.
Ethiopia and Serbia granted independence to the parts of their countries that had a coast.
Some countries like uzbekistan, are so far inland that they are doubly landlocked, which means they are both landlocked and completely surrounded by other landlocked countries.
When a country is landlocked it can be difficult for them to trade, and they often have to rely on their neighbours. In Europe, the danube river lets many landlocked countries have some access to the black sea. As well, many canals exist which lets small ships travel deep inland, providing some of the benefits of having a coast.
Some countries may look landlocked, but when viewed closely you can see they have tiny coasts. You can watch this video I made which explores the weird borders in those situations:

You may have heard that RUclips has been a bit unreliable lately. Though I think its been unreliable in my favour given that the channel only had about 500 subscribers a month ago. Still its probably best if there is a way for you to see new uploads without having to rely on youtube. The best way to do this is with an email list, so if you want you can follow this link to sign up for the list:

Fun Fact: If the United States actually did collapse for whatever reason, then assuming that all 50 states would become independent, Nebraska would be the only Triple Landlocked country in the world (Great lakes don't count.).
What about native reservations
But… landlocked means they don’t have access to the ocean-
What do native reservations even have to do with it
@@randomguynolonger727yearsa9 Have you not watched the video? Triple landlocked means you are landlocked by landlocked countries that are themselves landlocked by landlocked countries.
@@proaaron578 I already knew that. But what do natice reservations have to do with being landlocked? Absolutely nothing. Thats why I asked. Where the heck did you somehow make out i didnt know what triple landlocked meant?
Have you not read my reply??

Say that to Swiss Navy, they patrol their own Swiss lakes. In Vietnam the River Patrol Boats were under the command of the US Navy, not the US Army. Even they patrolled the waterways inside South Vietnam, not the sea. During the Rhodesian war, the Rhodesian Army converted the ferry "Ubique" into a warship by placing heavy Soviet machineguns on the upper deck. So, a instant Navy. Just add hot water and wait 3 minutes.

Funny thing that the
Word "Stan" is old Persian
And it meant "land" .....
Iraq Fuckin CountryBall it’s not old persian it is just persian, like new persian, as they speak it today in Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan. Therefore there are many words in persian that end with „Stan“ not referring to any country’s. Kindergarten means „Kodakistan“ place of the children’s. Or „Rigestan“ means desert, „qabrestan“ means graveyard.
So, Afghaniland?
A better translation is land of, so Afghanistan would be "land of afghani"
@@latiendadepaikawaii So, pakiland?
Turkic nations must get rid of that "stan" word

Does it really matter for EU countries if they are landlocked since they're in a customs and market union and basically can use any port in the EU?
Wait good point
The thing is that landlocked countries are countries that were part of countries with access to sea before but now they are their own countries. For me, except the EU and African countries, the other ones should unite with their neighbors to grow stronger

Hi, a small error: The port of Switzerland is not on the rhone in Geneva, but on the Rhine in Basel. From where larger river ships go to. In the 1960s, there was a plan to build a canal through switzerland to connect the rhone and rhine. Nothing was done, so that rhone can be only be used for very small ships.

Thanks for this info
but caspian sea isnt a sea, its considered a lake, world's biggest infact
Then why isn't Azerbaijan coloured in red
But there are salt water lakes in Africa so if you consider those lakes then the Caspian is a lake
***** the fact its salty, doesnt mean its a sea
I remember reading the reason why the Caspian is considered a sea is because of its depth. Seas are deeper than lakes.
Abdigani Sugal Baikal lake is 2000 feet deeper than the Caspian Sea yet it is isn't considered a sea.

You forgot about virtually landlocked poor Russia.
Some of its ports are not navigable round the year and the rest lead to oceans or straits controlled by NATO countries.
Only a canal connecting the Caspian sea and the Persian gulf (called Iranrud) can solve the problems of :
Russia, Belarus, Central Asian Countries and Iran.
Arctic Ocean, Baltic, Black Sea, Pacific Ocean coast line. I don't think that qualify as Landlocked. Otherwise we will have to include bunch of others countries simply because of geo-politics and climate difficulties
very well explained
Bolivia is salty, just like the ocean they can't get into.

It's worth mentioning that Bolivia lost its coast in a war they started with Chile to gain more coast and even formed a secret alliance with Peru to take more land from Chile. They lost.
Brett Jory lol that’s tough and karma
@@fortzprod.8096 lol nice name
That is false. Bolivia never intended to invade Chile. The only time that Bolivia and Peru were a possible threat to Chile (according to Chilean political leaders of the time) was during the Bolivian-Peruvian confederation which the Chileans made sure to split. The reason for the new alliance was to defend itself against a possible new Chilean invasion due to the strong increase of Chilean companies in the territories previously considered Bolivian. In addition, Bolivia left the war early because it was not in the best conditions for a war due to internal problems in the country, therefore it does not make sense that it would have been planning to invade Chile.
What about the sea at the left of Kasakhstan?
Hey man in the first part you showed the landlocked countries. I can't help but notice that Azerbaijan (which has a coast on the caspian sea, and btw caspian sea is classified as a lake) isn't highlighted, but Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan are highlighted even though they have a coast on the caspian sea
i noticed kazakhstan was highlighted but it is not landlocked

Hey, what do you use for editing? Thanks if you answered, keep up the great work.
I use inkscape to make all my drawings. I make them 1280 by 720 which is the resolution of a youtube video. Then I stitch them together with openshot video editor, which is for linux. If I was on something else I would just be using the default video editing software. Its pretty basic and it does limit what I can do, but for most purposes its sufficient.

Nice video. You should do a full video on the states of the United States which are not on the ocean but have access to shipping due to rivers and canals. Such as the ones you mentioned-- the St Lawrence Seaway and the Mississippi River, plus the Ohio and Missouri rivers. And on the West Coast, the Columbia and Snake River system actually gives the state of Idaho access to the ocean with one port city (Lewiston). So the majority of U.S. states have sea access somehow.

Why doesn't Bosnia have a port? It would seem like it would be a big advantage (to private firms or to the Bosnian government) to establish one there seeing as how the country doesn't have its own port as of this time.
It wasn't necessary when it was a part of Yugoslavia, after independence the country had a lot of internal fighting so they may have just not gotten around to it yet.
This videos helps to explain the breakup of yugoslavia in more detail.
ruclips.net/video/oiSgAiM0d8A/видео.html&ab_channel=WonderWhy
In fact, Bosnia has 20 km of coastline -- although the two borders with Croatia are only about 8 km apart (the difference is accounted for by the inclusion in those 20 km of a long peninsula). Bosnia's one coastal town, Neum, is not very well suited to development as a port, however, being poorly linked at present to the country's interior.
The area is almost completely surrounded by Croatia and there just isn't a good amount of land near Neum to build a port, as some of Croatia's islands are quite close to it.
I like that huge amount of Allusions in the Videos! For example the one with Macedonia at 3:50
Since the province where the speech bubble is coming from is also called Macedonia they insinst calling the country Macedonia the "Former Yugoslav Republic of" Macedonia.

Over the few weeks, I've really come to love your channel.
I just have 2 pieces of criticism for you to help you improve:
1) At 3:45 in the videop (and a few other spots) you represented Serbia with a light blue color, which is only slightly greener than the ocean. This was fine when you showed it as Serbia and Montenegro since it was connected to the sea, but once the map switched to show it in its landlocked state, it became really difficult to distingish the difference between the 2 at a glance.
I would reccommend that in the future, you avoid using any light blue to represent anythong other than ocean or lakes.
2) The way you talk can sound really stilted at times. I haven't noticed this problem in every video, but I have noticed it in about half of them, this one being one of them. I can't really think of a good way to articulate why the way you talk sounds stilted, but I'll try:
It can sometimes sound like you're trying too hard to put emphasis on certain words or phrases that you say.
Also, it sounds like you force yourself to raise the end of your sentance. Most of the time, people don't raise the end of a sentance unless they're shouting or asking a question; in most other sentances, people drop their voice at the end of the sentance.
Compare the way you would say these 2 words for a better example of what I'm talking about:
Really?
Really.
I think this problem may derive from the fact that you subconsiously feel like you have sort of perform your script since you're doing it for an audience. I'm not sure how you would go about fixing that, but I think knowing that the problem exists is definately the first step for you to improve.
I hear you but how do you think the speker can improve. Your advice will be appreciated and helpful. Thanks in advance.
You look to have more knowledge. Please help.

could europe be seen as an island because of the rivers and canals?
This is always something I've wondered myself. I don't have an answer for this, but its fun to think about.
VanDeGraph sounds like just semantics
Kalkaanuslag technically everything's an island because it's surrounded by sea
But Asia, Europe, and Africa are still connected even though the canals, so it is 1 big island named Afro-Eurasia. Same with North and South America.
Could Europe be seen as an island because of the rivers and canals?: No, Kalkaanuslag !
By your logic there can at least be fifty continents. Europe is the only continent (merely because Europeans wanted it to be) that doesn't confirm to the geographical definition of a continent- if only one exercises a sense of proportion .
good video, but there is something, the historical maps of south america have some errors
I try to do my best with them but their just are no good references when it comes to historical maps. Often I end up looking up the history of cities and regions to determine when they switched hands, which means the exact borders are off since I end up having to guess where the border was back then based on vague information.
VanDeGraph yea its difficult to be a good historical maper
