Asia is the worst continent confirmed
Ukraine is the key to it all!!!
Mexican here. Born in 1993. Public school. I was taught 6 continents: América, Europa, Asia, África, Oceanía and Antártica. But I was also taught that eurasia can be a thing depending on how you look at it and that América can be divided on 3 sub-continents: North, central and South.
Yee, Brazillian here, and basically same, but it's confusing, sometimes, it's said that the 3 subdivisions of america are in fact separate continents (Due to some cultural aspects and all), and Eurasia/Afro-Eurasia are just a landmass thing
United States here, teachers got fucking pissed at me for daring to mention Oceania for some reason. I was taught NA, SA, AS, EU, Anartic and Anartica
@@itadakitontaro36what I found weird was that they decided to separate Central America into it's own thing when it's basically just a little stretch of mass between Mexico and Colombia and afaik isn't culturally different enough from either to really matter
@@SaloCh It may not be culturally different to the rest of the continent, but still, when talking about political differences, that may be it
America is a continent & an American is from the Continent of America.
In France we learn at school that continents are separated by oceans OR geographical limits such as big mountains (we were taught the Urals defined the eastern boundary of Europe)
And then we have the Alps and other things, that don't separate continents
So is India a continent? How about Chile?
Is western NA a different continent than Eastern NA...the same for SA?
If you define as separated a around by natural oceans or water straights...then there are 4 continents:
Asia/Europe/Africa is one
America is two
Australia (or Oceania) is three
Antarctica is four
Five if you consider Greenland big enough and not part of the American shelf.
Urals considered a border but not Himalayas… lol Europe is not a continent cmon
*What continent is Australia in?*
By definition: Australia
Tectonically: Australasia
In the Olympics: Oceania
In football: Asia
In music: Europe
In war : America

Back when I was in elementary school (US) in the late '50s we were taught that the division between Europe and Asia were the Ural Mountains then down to the Caspian Sea, west along the southern border of what is now Georgia, across the Black Sea, and down through the Bosphorus. The Urals are also a major dividing line between Russian provinces/state/subdivisions.
Amazing that you remember the specifics of a geography lesson that you had 70 years ago.
I’ve only gotten into Map Men and Jay Foreman’s content recently and the seemingly flawless French from Jay took me entirely off guard
There are only two continents:
- Antarctica
- Australiafroeurasiamerica
In theory theres 4: America, Africaneurasia, Australia and Antarctica

"Don't worry about the details, we'll figure that out later" did you take it from the actual brexit referendum question?
In Russian there's a term "part of the world" that's used for anywhere distinctive enough. So Russian geography pretty much takes the 'landmasses separated by water' approach for its definition of a continent. But Europe and Asia are still considered different "parts of the world".

It's a nice joke, but unfortunately it's *mostly* a myth. The IOC did define it that way for a brief period in the late 1940's, but it was dropped after nobody could find any evidence the creator of the flag intended it that way. Since then the colours have not been tied to any particular continents.

@@Diamondman164 Thus making it a reference to Jay's series of singing songs with the lyrics one beat behind the music. It's very clever and somewhat disorientating, which makes me feel rather stupid and, erm, disorientated, which is why I don't listen to them.

Part of the reason that Europe is a separate continent is because historically it was nigh impossible (by land) to get to Asia via land due to the mountains and sea
Note: the continents were drawn by Ancient Greece, Russia and Spain.
Other note: the Silk Road did not exist in Ancient Greece’s time.
That’s a brilliant fact, and I wish we’d explored it in this video.
Nonsense. It was barely possible because of political reasons. The Northern route was complicated because the mongol and tatar empires roamed free there. The Southern route through modern Turkey was blocked by the Persians and later the Islamic empires.
But all these areas are not blocked by mountains or sea. You can get to Central Asia(!) via Russia fast, and you can get to Persia easily too. In fact, the sea actually makes Asia more accessible.
@@mardasman428 because the inhospitable steppes and frozen tundra could not hold back people
@@mardasman428 i'd like to see you walk from france to china.
@@lowlsqwid We are civilized now. We take trains. Which you can do, you can go by rail from Portugal to South Vietnam in a single trip (transfers not withstanding), through Russian, Mongolia and China, among other train routes between the two continents. And as you should know, trains don't really like very steep angles, which means before the age of trains and cars, there were considerably flat and walkable routes, on foot and horseback, between the two "continents". Probably the same ones the Mongols used to harass people all the way up to Germany, a thing that did happen.
Because of what you didn't mention in this video I learned that the Arctic is not considered a continent, because there is no landmass above sea level underneath all that ice, unlike Antarctica. Tres bien!
currently*
@@noname_atall saying "currently" implies that there is landmass under the Arctic ice, there is not. At least not any more so than in any ocean. The Arctic is a floating mass of ice. The shallowest part under the Arctic icecap is the Lomonosov Ridge, which has at its shallowest part around 400 meters down to the ocean floor.
@@SwitchAndLever The Arctic is actually a region, beyond just the Arctic Ocean. As well, the Arctic Ocean isn't permanently covered by ice; in the summer melt, it shrinks by about half.
@@WilliamAndrea region ≠ continent, and continents are generally beholden to a landmass, something which the Arctic polar icecap lacks. A floating piece of ice is not land, even though you can step on it and walk around on it. The Arctic region includes areas of several countries on different continents. I should know, I grew up just by the Polar Circle, which is what defines the Arctic region, in the north of Sweden 😄
@@SwitchAndLever Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear. I'm not saying the Arctic is a continent by any means. I was trying to clarify that you wrote "Arctic" in some places where you meant "Arctic Ocean" and that there's no ice cap per se on the Arctic Ocean. There's a pack of sea ice, but it's impermanent. On the other hand, Greenland does have an ice cap (technically an ice "sheet", I just found out), which is in the Arctic.

As an Australian there was absolutely no reason for my country to enter Eurovision
SBS is in the EBU, which is the only criterion for entry.
In any case, Europe only exists as a cultural distinction from Asia, which is also more or less true of us in Australia. We’re a southeast Asian island that’s culturally separate from the rest of Southeast Asia so we are basically European.
As an Australian the single reason against the swathe of reasons FOR joining Eurovision is the first four letters of the show's name.
If they called it 'Camp Pop Song Bangers' Australia would have joined decades ago.

If Europe gets to be a separate continent because of culture, then the rest of "Asia" should be split up as well. Sweden is culturally closer to Norway than Vietnam, yes, but Sweden is still closer to Syria than Syria is to Vietnam.
I would say that in Eurasia there are four distinct major cultural spheres:
- East Asia: Cradle of civilisation was ancient China. Heavily influenced by Confucianism
- South Asia: Cradle of civilisation was ancient India. Heavily influenced by Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism etc
- Middle East: Cradle of civilisation was ancient Persia, Assyrians, Arab golden age etc. Heavily influenced by Islam
- Europe: Cradle of civilisation was ancient Greece and Rome. Heavily influenced by Christianity
One could also consider Southeast Asia as a fifth cultural sphere, but culturally in most ways they are like a mixture of the south asian and east asian spheres so I didn't count them as sufficiently distinct and unique enough to be their own separate cultural sphere but that's a subjective opinion
@@hi-ve1cw This is very fair
is'nt Asia split? sub continent, Southeast Asia and Asia?
@@hi-ve1cw That's interesting, but I think central asia should be viewed as the fifth big area of eurasia. I guess it has been influenced by europe, the middle east and east Asia depending on where you are, but I still don't see a siberian or a turkmenistani being part of any of the other groups

Yeah I heard it as “30 second Armenian”
Like he was just chilling in Armenia for 30 seconds and then left
I like how the video started off where they say “man-made canals do not count when it comes to separating continents” and how they end it saying “why does it even matter how many continents there are? Should we even care which one we belong to? Well … No, not really (whether it be 7, 6, 5 or even 4 continents)”! 🙂
Here in Brazil we learn about 6 Continents:
• Europe
• Asia
• Africa
• Americas (North and South)
• Oceania
• Antarctica
I have always found that break up to be idiotic. It is visually obvious were the division between the north and south American continents would be but looking at the map there is no distinction as to where the division between Asia and Europe is. If any definition of the continents combines north and south America - how can it not also separate Asia and Europe?
This is a partially less difficult issue in Swedish, where we distinguish between kontinent (continent) and världsdel (part of the world). Eurasia, sometimes afroeurasia, is considered a continent while europe, asia, and africa are considered parts of the world.
Very interesting!
Here in Finland they teach about continents like Eurasia and subcontinents such as Europe and Asia. And those can further be split into regions, such as the Middle East, South Asia or Central Europe. Tectonics are taught separately.
Same in Dutch
"Regions of the world" is a lot more useful of a term. There's no use in grouping Italy, Scotland and Spain with China, Japan and Vietnam into a single continent - but there's also no way to defend Europe is a continent as we understand it. It's not even like Africa, that is connected only by a small peninsula. Europe is indistinguishable from Asia if you didn't already know it's supposed to be a continent.
... and same in Norwegian. (That's not to say there's NO confusion. But still less.
At school I wasn't really taught the continents as a clear-cut geographic term, just as a handy way to divide the world into slightly more manageable sections. Hence I was taught Oceania as a continent, because it's just a useful term for that whole part of the world. So what counts as a continent really just depends on what's convenient for you in conversation, which is obviously going to vary around the world.
I am from Argentina and In school geography are taught 6 Continents (America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania and Antarctica). If I'm not mistaken, it is also taught in the rest of Latin America, Spain, Italy, France and some other European country. It seems to me that the concept of 7 continents is from the Anglo-Saxon countries (United States, UK, Australia, etc.)
Not in Italy or France, 7 continents
@@commonomics not a surprise europeans are usually united statians and british suckers....
Interesting choices to combine the Americas as one continent but Europe and Asia separate.
@@commonomics 6 continenti. Il continente è un grande pezzo di terra che ha intorno l'acqua. I continenti sono: l'Europa, l'Asia, l'Africa, l'Oceania, le Americhe e l'Antartide. I continenti sono molto estesi e sono formati da tante placche.

America is a continent!
If not, then what is America?
Hilarious! Keeping in mind I'm armenian you even mentioned my birthplace in the video - Novisibirsk 4:55. Definitely did not expect to see so many related-to-me things in a video about continents!
Actually here in Russia we have two different terms: 'continent' and 'materik' (mainland). First one relies on culture, second one - on the teсtonic plates, so continents are Africa, Australia (and Oceania), Antarctica, Europe, Asia and America. Mainlands are again Africa, Australia (and Oceania), Antarctica, but also Eurasia, South America and North America.
But by that logic shouldn't india be a separate continent?
We have similar thing in Czechia - officially we recognize 5 "kontinentů" (Americas, Eurasia, Antarctica, Oceania/Australia, Africa), but 7 "světadílů" (splitting Americas and Eurasia).
However in casual conversations these terms are often used interchangeably
Teutonic plates? What do platters have to do with continents? (Yes, obviously I know what was meant)
@@vedritmathias9193 xD haven't even noticed that typo, thx
@@parker4406 Yes but no, teсtonic plates also should be divided by water mostly. So if India does not have huge land connection with Eurasia it can be separate continent.
In Ukraine we’ve been taught about “continents” (Eurasia, Australia, North and South America, Africa and Antarctica) and “world parts” (Europe, Asia, America, Australia and Oceania, Antarctica, Africa). And it is strictly forbidden to mix that concepts...
This is a good distinction - still, what's the basis for those 6 continents I wonder?
@@markcooper-jones7494 same stuff about tectonic plates, and world parts is more like regions that includes continents and islands
But Asia is a bad "world part", it's at least divided into three areas: West Eurasia, South Asia and East Asia (also Siberia or North Asia but that's like Antarctica: no fireworks allowed).
@@markcooper-jones7494 - They are large landmasses mostly surrounded by oceans (and in rare cases joined to others by a minuscle isthmus, conveniently bored to make a man-made canal).
Thank you!!! I remember being taught that as well, coming from Slovakia. But apparently the only one who remembers it, bcs I later talked to my friends and they all thought I was crazy for thinking "kontinent" and "svetadiel" are 2 different concepts. I've started to doubt myself. Vindication!
0:34 In Brazil, we are taught 6 continents: America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania and Antartica. I don't know about the other countries, but here Eurasia is only mentioned while the continents are studied
This guys are so nice
Okay, but when are we going to talk about the Finland-Gabon Line Partnership from 6:15?
It's the dividing line between global east and global west.
please, what the heck is that thing.
i must know.
Yes! That was the true WTF! moment for me in the video. I'm assuming it was just a joke to rile up us nerds, but if it wasn't....WTF?
It's my favorite continent.
I first glance thought it was a sample of a time zone, but immediately saw that Africa wasn't right. Interesting. So far the east-west division sounds most likely, but then again it's from the european point of view, the maps in for example Far East and US place their own regions in the middle of a world map, making this line of east-west kind weird. Plus there's Australia, which is more in the east than Far East, but nobody thinks of it as an eastern country.
Hmm, granted, our views of the world seem to be very local...

Im not the only one who thought the same thing?
Genius
That's 🙏 the 🙏 joke
uuh I missed that!
Lol
i love how they speak spanish, for foreginers to speak with such a good accent, as a hispanic it makes me proud
This discussion is as aimless as would be one on number of oceans (1, 2, 3, 4, 5?). I'd like to see a film on that!

At 7:20 I realised how much Rosetta Stone was helping me with French. I understood every word.
