ok
My brain is small
What's more interesting is the fact that you uploaded on TUESDAY
HAI: Other countries exist beyond America.
Also HAI: Maple America, Guava America, big weird scaffolding America.
Half Interesting As?
@@saigesheen Damn dyslexia. I also did "Mapla America"
Well, he did say it's not entirely proven, just that there's quite a bit of evidence. All those places could still in fact be part of the USA.
As a resident of Maple America though, I can confirm that we don't actually exist and are a figment of your imaginations. (There is definitely nothing to see up here, seriously, no need to try to cross the border and test your wild theories of our existence please stay away.)
I dont get guava America!

I love how every battle on the wiki page you showed is in France
A lot are, but quite a few near the top are in other countries. They almost all use the perfidious Tricolor though, so I can see the error.
The surplus of French entries is because of the world wars btw
Did you mean _weird scaffolding America?_
Couple world wars will do that.
Turns out the divorced father of America still has some connection to their son.
There's actually a similar park on the Canada-US border between Manitoba and North Dakota called the International Peace Garden. It's jointly maintained by the two countries, and visitors to the park can freely walk across the border and around the park without going through customs.
And that peace park thing on the Washington - British Columbia border

The correct number of countries in the world would be 192 + how much of these you recognise.
There are also smaller independence movements, I just listed the ones I knew
While Israel is independent, and a majority of UN recognise it, many Islamic countries and North Korea don’t.
The land between Jordan, Lebanon and Egypt is recognised as fully Israel by some, fully Palestine by some and some nations recognise both.
China is also disputed as Taiwan claims it as their land but I don’t think that claim is recognised by a lot of countries.
My mother tongue is German. So when he questioned "Kanada", it took me few moments to realize it is written with C in English 😅

The moose wizard is technically our head of state, but this is purely ceremonial and wields no real power. Besides the moose magic.
Well, technically as the representative of the Queen the moose wizard has the power to declare anyone Prime Minister as long as that person holds the confidence of Parliament. But you're right, they basically never go rogue, and the moose usually gives it to whoever was voted Best Hair.

He's not allowed to show human emotion through his mannerisms so he has to include it in the graphics.
I’ve been a New Brunswicker for my entire life but not once have I ever heard of this park. I’ve heard of the Campobello Islands and our trifles with Maine many times but never did I know you guys built a god damn park there.
It was another one the USA’s covert operations.
@@autonomouscollective2599 I was thinking it was a clever budgeting operation to get the States to pay for a park.
Before you know it we have the campobello islands.
Used to visit it on school trips growing up 😂
We have a Roosevelt river in the middle of the Amazon forest! Teddy himself helped in the expedition (and with funding, of course) together with Brazilians explorers and his son, he got really sick there and almost died! (jungle fever and yellow fever if I remember correctly)

I don't know if you would count it but there is actually also the waterton-glacier international peace park in Alberta-Montana border
That was my first assumption with the title as well. It's hilarious how many hikers get lost and end up on the wrong side of the border around waterton.
@@sakaraist the crypt lake hike does cross the border intentionally so
2:22 Hey, hey, hey... upside down waterfalls are our thing... and New Zealand's too. Sincerely, an Australian viewer.
Don't worry at time of creation of this Roswelt park there was USSR and Canada was important to stop invasion of mainland US and now there's China so Australia is important and Australians u just wait a bit now Biden Will come here to form another park which will have a upside down waterall or at least a McD inside it.
🤣🤣
Deceit! There is no such thing as Australia!!! It's DESERT ISLAND AMERICA complete with too many spiders, evil bears in trees, and savage jumping brown thingies! XD
There's another park called "International Park" in the US & CA. Waterton Glacier International Peace Park is in Montana and Alberta but it's actually two neighboring parks each administered by the country in which it lies. Waterton is also Unesco listed. But Waterton isn't like Roosevelt Campobello International Park in that there's not a part administered by the US outside of the US.
"the cold war was heating up"
subtitle: haha
the writer really likes to pat himself on the back huh?
1:05 Absolutely shocking. I will need to file a complaint with the atlas makers to tell me why nobody told me about Canada.
Oh, it's there. Get your Rand McNally Road Atlas, the one where every page is a map of a state. And at the end after Wyoming, that next page is Canada. But remember, even though it fits on one page just like Rhode Island does, that does not mean you can drive across Canada in 45 minutes of highway time.

Did he make like a 40 minute video about bricks on nebula? I don't have nebula so i didn't watch it but I remember him mentioning it
Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park: Am I nothing to you?
The reason is Waterton-Glacier is really two parks... one side is a National Park of Canada and the other a US National Park... sharing a common border. Similar to Peace Arch Park where the US side is a Washington state park and the Canadian side is a BC provincial park... even though there is no restriction crossing from one side to the other within the park, as long as you exit on the same side you entered.

Fun fact: Crabbe Mountain ski hill (which is in New Brunswick, the same place as Campobello Island) has a run called "Tippy Canoe". It's only an intermediate run, though. :P Maybe it should have been a double-diamond?

I've been there! Very interesting origin story. The High Tea was lovely & the presentation enlightening. Get there early for the (free but limited) tickets!
The NPS is a valuable resource for wonderful learning opportunities - vital when you discover your kid's curriculum lacking in... Well, everything. Not sure if we'll get to the overseas properties before kid graduates, but all we have left of all managed/administered by the NPS are the ones in Alaska.
Oh wow, this is close to home! We've taken several day trips to Campobello. Fun fact: the only bridge to the island goes to the US. There is a seasonal ferry to Deer Island, New Brunswick though. Makes for fun times during a pandemic when the borders are closed...
Also, if you ever get a chance to go there, see if you can get in to "Elanor's tea". Older local ladies tell stories about Elanor Roosevelt while serving you endless cups of tea. She was an amazing woman!
Franklin Delano Roosevelt actually did contract Polio at a Boy Scout Jamboree in 1928 near Campobello Island
that's debatable. Some say he actually contracted a very rare disease with similar symptoms that was not yet known at the time.
@@youtube-kanal2606 possibly, but’s that’s a pretty unpopular theory
1:30 "In fact, Campobello is the US's only international park." 1) Peace Arch Park and 2) Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park
Peace Arch is a Washington State/BC Provincial park while Waterton-Glacier is a National Park of Canada on one side and a US National Park on the other.
^what he said. They're only "international" because they immediately border a national park owned by another soverign nation, whith a mutual understanding that the parks exist on each side of the nations borders'. Where as Campobello is exclusively within the Canadian Territory, and is yet ½ owned and operated by the US Department of interior.

There is also a Theodore Roosevelt National park in North Dakota, I've been there. It's a smaller badlands with more foliage and wildlife, it's neat.
Golf and polo? Duuude a perfect missed opportunity for "golf and polio."
As a Canadian I can confirm that we are basically just maple syrup, and snow.

There are a couple other shared US/Canada parks, such as the BWCA Wilderness and Quetico Provincial Park, and the shared Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, made up of Glacier NP in the US and Waterton Lakes NP in Canada....
Also interestingly, the Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota, was the only National Park designated as a memorial to a person. "Memorial" was removed from the park name in 1978.
Most Americans watching this got 2 mins in and stopped to process that other countries exist.
Before he jumped to Canada he should have eased them in with something like Puerto Rico or Guam.
My geography teacher told us the land above the 49th parallel was called North United States.

I honestly kinda hope this is true so I can maintain my completely warped stereotypes about the US.
I highly recommend everyone look up Roosevelt Campobello International Park on a map to see the names of all the coves and ponds in the surrounding area.
Sorry for being "that guy" but as a ranger I can't resist.
-There's over 400 National Parks in the US. That's defined as a park administered by the National Park Service. They're all the same administratively and don't get any higher credit if they're a "National Park" vs a "National Historic Site", they're all parks to us.
-The NPS has another "International Parks" with varying a different level of cooperation and that is "Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park".

You should do one on the Roosevelt International Highway which was supposed to run through the US and Canada, but didn't quite make it to be.
I went to "Canada" when I was 6 to an old amusement park that closed when I was 8 or 9 that was on an island in the Detroit River technically over the border. But they let Americans visit the island and the island only without customs processing. It's not a national park, but it's a park that isn't in America but Americans can go there as if it were in America. It's called Bois Blanc and much of the structures are still there rotting away.
come on they're 5th cousins thats hardly incest in some countries even 1st cousins are incest
I think 2nd or 3rd cousins aren't considered incest but i may be mistaken, never had to actually double check that fact xD
Not even fifth cousins! Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin Roosevelt were fifth cousins, and Eleanor Roosevelt was Theodore's niece, making FDR and Eleanor fifth cousins once removed.
@@nicholasbrassard3512 In most of the world, marriage of first cousins is legal, and in many parts of the world it remains common. Historically, it was common everywhere. But in a a few large countries (including China) and in 24 U.S. states, it is illegal. If Charles Darwin lived in modern-day Texas, he would be a felon and legally be required to register as a sex offender.
It's not clear who benefits from that kind of stigma and discrimination, but I guess it means fewer people have to say "eww."

Roosevelt Campobello is not the only international park shared by Canada and USA. Check out International peace arch park in BC and Washington, Waterton Glacier International Park in Alberta and Montana, International Peace Gardens in Manitoba and North Dakota, and Sarnia’s international Canatara Park on the border with Michigan. Lots of history of cross-border friendship through shared parks and gardens.
