The new reboot of Animaniacs had a new geography song, but this time set in the 19th century. Is it more accurate than the original?

Funny meme video: • Yakko's World but it's...
As an animator on this show, I can 100% assure you that we were all making fun of that map while working on this episode 😂
That's So cool!
Well that’s a relief to hear. XD
Tell me is there going to be anything else animaniacs on hulu
Ok but why did britain eat europe and why is it the saxon kingdoms

I think they mentioned Queen Victoria as she declared herself the Empress of India thus disbanding the Empire of Maratha under East Indies Company rule. Also they (or someone else) MUST do a "pre-unification german states song" :)
Haha 69 likes haha Funni noombr, yes indeed my iq is lower than Antarctic average temperature.
Also pre unification germany song: *_lasts 1 hour_*

That'd be an epic, not a song
Elimination round of German states might be good because then it would be like 300 down to: Germany Austria Zwitzerland Luxembourg Belgium Namibia too!
NAMIBIA?!?
When I first saw the original video, I wondered how they’d fit all the German and Italian states. Just cutting to something else definitely made the most sense.
I love how they messed up the map again 😂
Yeah I saw the thumbnail for that video and got ready for a brain aneurysm. I was dissapointed
Probably takes a Minute for both regions

They literally made Russia own the Balkans...It was controlled by the Ottomans unfortunately 😔
I think the map was done that way on purpose, because everyone’s been breaking down how inaccurate the original was.
Yeah. I mean, the entirety of Great Britain except for England itself is literally missing from the zoomed-in map, that's obviously a jab at people pointing out the original song lights up Great Britain when Yakko says "England".
sounds like something theyd do anyway
I mean, replacing all of Europe with just GB is somewhat fitting to the British ego of the period, isn't it?

@@Valnotersc but at the time it still wasn't in the kingdom of prussia
@@kousand9917 The Rhineland was given to Prussia in 1815... So unless the video is supposed to be set during the Napoleonic wars, it was totally under Prussian control.
@@Valnotersc it can’t be during the napoleonic wars because France didn’t have the territories up to the Rhine
Replacing continental Europe with the British Heptarchy must have been on purpose. That part has the most accurate borders (insofar as Anglo Saxon borders can be accurate) of anywhere else in the video. "Animaniacs" animators are probably bigger geeks than the people who enjoy EmporTigerstar videos, if such a thing is possible. And they've successfully trolled our community of map nerds. Kudos to them.
if that is true, then they get a gold star

And Mongolia being underwater really helps this theory
Im pretty sure that its a joke about how Great Britain completely dominated both the 19th century europe and more importantly when most people hear about 19th century europe their minds just insantly go towards Great Britain.
That mapping is hilarious. The UK of GB and Ireland is split into the entire Heptarchy, Europe completely wiped, Mongolia map into water, the majority of the HRE is called Prussia despite the zoom-in map having Prussia. They've just gone full meme, trying to be hilariously wrong.

“The South” might refer to the CSA since it technically was “a country” during the 19th century, but it’s existence wasn’t during around the time of Oliver Twist, and there are arguments about whether we should recognize CSA as a country during this time period and not a region in revolt.
Probably talking about South asia. Since they tell
"Maldives and Perak (a malay state nowadays)
According to the wiki, the line is “The Sultanate of Maldives” not The South and It’s Maldives.
I think the Wiki is correct, Yakko makes a “sol” sound not a “sau” sound for south. “And it’s the Maldives” sound a bit awkward.
No, it definitely was independent, despite it fighting for such a vile cause as slavery, there was no legal basis for the Union to fight to retain them, the American Revolutionary war was still apart of it's ethos.

I think Austria already was the "Austrian Empire" at the time since the HRR was abolished in 1816 after Napoleon defeated the Habsburg trooos
that's true, however the archduchy of austria was still a crown land within the austrian empire after 1804 so it's fine imo
@@cassius_at ah ok thanks
nah u re right, it did not exist as an political enitity anymore after 1806, only as a titular name u would stick on an imperial prince

@@ApolloReloaded hello fellow Austrian then I guess

So when he said “Next Queen Victoria, Goodbye the Empire of Maratha” it’s a reference to the British empire taking control of India after the collapse of the Maratha Confederacy, in 1858 it became part of the British Crown
That didn't exactly happen though. The Maratha Empire collapsed in 1819 following the third Anglo Maratha war, but India wasn't transferred from the EIC's puppet nawabs to direct British rule till 1859, following the Sepoy Mutiny where the sepoys proclaimed a restoration of the *Mughal* empire, which had been previously destroyed by the Marathas. And Victoria was not proclaimed as Empress till the Delhi Durbar in 1877, so it's like a 40-60 year gap in events
@@tentathesane8032 of course, just I didn’t want to go through the whole history of events, because I just wanted to point out that the “Queen Victoria” phrase was a reference to the British influence expanding across India after the collapse of Maratha Confederacy either from the EIC or, later, the British Crown ending with Victoria becoming Empress of India
The „next queen victoria“ actually makes sense, because the episode is set between 1837 and 1839, as said in the video, with 1837 being the year of victoria‘s coronation following the death of her uncle wiliam the fourth. Please excuse my grammer since I am not a native speaker.
*literally all yakko's World videos* :
Yakko : merde , I was wrong again
I think Britian is that big and divided on the map because of how focus and impact aversion has on the world. The Sun never sets on th British empire, etc…
Yeah, I think I remember seeing world maps which exaggerated the size of the British Empire compared to the rest of the world, like making the British Isles twice their normal size or comparable in size to the rest of europe, and doing similar with their colonies.

People rlly did u wrong
3:01 to skip intro
Calling the Archduchy of Austria a nation after 1806 misses the definition of a nation by a lot
technically it still existed but only as a titular name u stick on some prince, not as an political entity
in 1806 the Archduchy was devided into it's original parts, the Crownlands of Upper and Lower Austria
the Archduchy seized to exist after that
callind it still a nation would be like calling the Dakota Territory a nation after 1889
a subunit of a greater nation state, that has been devided and even lost it's original name
I think we can agree on that that would not qualify for being called nation
#Austrian speaking btw ;)

I like federalism but this is regionalism and it's bad for us
5:53 since he mentioned it. i thought he was also gonna mention the fact that Yakko pointed to Panay (Spain), rather than the actual Sulu Sultanate 😖
edit: yeah, whatever that island is called. madja-as no longer exists in the 19th century so i can't call it as such
Also, the Philippine Islands was badly drawn, which convinced me that the 1734 Carta Hydrographica y Chorographica de las Islas Filipinas, more commonly known as the Murillo Velarde map, is more accurate than Yakko's.
@@balistixmapping197 that's on purpose
6:35 Queen Victoria goodbyes Maratha empire 😈
One mistake they made was drawing in the Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands and Luxemburg) as part of Prussia. We revolted from the Spanish Habsburg Empire during the 17th century and though Napoleon conquered us and let his cousin Napoleon III rule us. The moment Napoleon was banished we took our country back. Heck, the Belgians were officially seen as a separate country from us in 1839.
1831, thank you very much.
@@ptolemy2222 Sorry, didn't mean any insult. I got the year from wiki. But it being 1831 makes it even more egregious that they didn't bother separating us from Prussia.
@@SomeRandomDutchGuy1 absolutely no offense taken, no worries.
6:02 Important fact the Holy Roman Empire had not existed since 1806
Fun fact: Wikipedia has a (probably very incomplete) list of sovereign states in the 1830s, and _every single country_ in this song (except for Archduchy of Austria, Aden Protectorate, and of course the two places mentioned in past tense) is mentioned on the Wikipedia list. I highly suspect that this specific list was in fact what the song writers used to come up with all the exotic country names.
Not that it's necessarily a _bad_ thing - it still involved loads of pretty darn obscure places! And at least that way they could be sure that everything mentioned was googleable.
Actually, you can guarantee that this song is based on the map in 1838-1839 (whoops, not 1938-1939, typo) just based on the information in the song! (At least according to Wikipedia) Here's how:
- Norbu was king of Bhutan from 1838-1850, which already limits the timeframe of the song down to those 12 years. (Also, Aden was ceded to the British in 1838, so that's the earliest possible year anyways)
- Central America stopped being a single country in 1841, so the song would be inaccurate if it took place any time after that.
- The Emirate of Afghanistan was briefly replaced by the Durrani Empire (which itself had been replaced by the Emirate of Afghanistan not long before) for a two-year period between 1840 and 1841, meaning that those two years would be inaccurate as well.
- As such, the only two valid years for the song would be 1838 and 1839, and if you look it up, every state mentioned (except of course for the Archuchy of Austria and Aden Protectorate, but those are more technicalities than anything) did in fact exist in 1838-1839!
It's seriously impressive just how much effort was put into making sure the song was accurate, here's hoping someone dares to make a full version one day.
(P.S. My challenge to you, comments-readers: go look up one country from the song that you know nothing about, and read about it. Even if it's just the Wikipedia page. We all have our favorite regions, time periods, and states, but it's good to expand your horizons!)
Good points, all! (though you accidentally wrote 19 instead of 18 in the beginning of your comment)
@@jaojao1768 Oh, whoops! Thanks for mentioning that!
Extremely underrated comment
yeah this should be higher up the comments section
The victoria line might suggest 1837 since it was her coronation year. I wrote that below a previous comment, but it seemed to fit with this one as well
Maybe the inaccurate maps (except the borders) were a reference to how the era's maps we're not so accurate in shape either.
In 19th century maps were already quite accurate, even without the satellites.
@@Vengir have to thanks leonardo da vinci and maybe his aliens overlords if they actually exist for the that style of map
I say yes and no to your comment, even though it's your "maybe."
Yes, because the maps then are drawn (with some exemptions) and not captured by the satellites, which didn't exist in the 19th century. One of the examples is the Carta Hydrographica y Chorographica de las Islas Filipinas (though it was drawn way back 1734, but still a significant part of history of mapping the world), which is different from the current map, with the exemptions of Pansipit river which went narrow because of a volcano eruption.
No, because maps are slightly accurate and not as bad as what was shown in Yakko's 19th Century Geography song. For example, the Philippine Islands was badly drawn in Yakko's, and was more inaccurate than the Carta Hydrographica y Chorographica de las Islas Filipinas (or Murillo Velarde map). Also, saying that inaccurate maps in Yakko's 19th Century Geography Song were a reference to how maps then were not so accurate is kind of stereotypical.
"Britain didn't double in size and destroy hte European continent in the 1800's"
If the episode is a spoof of Oliver Twist, we have to assume that the map is from the British perspective, in which case, Europe doesn't matter, or exist.

video starts at 2:55
you mean 2:56
7:20 because the HRE is done calling Bremen a free city is inaccurate
Except that even to this day the official name of state is the "Free Hanseatic City of Bremen", just like how Hamburg to today and formerly Lübeck (before the Nazi's annexed it into Prussian Schleswig-Holstein, never to return again) formally used "Free and Hanseatic City of..." in their state/city-state names. So not that inaccurate minus forgetting the Hanseatic parts of their name.
Edit: And I've seen nothing to suggest that in the 65-years between the dissolution of the HRE by Francis II and formation of the German Empire that they ever stopped using that title formally, with the other city-state of the time, Frankfurt, using the title "Free City of Frankfurt" (instead of the previous "Free Imperial City of Frankfurt") within the German Confederation until it's annexation by Prussia in the aftermath of the Austro-Prussian War.
I can honestly say that Emperor Tigerstar is one of the very few channels on RUclips where I actually watch the Sponsor portion of video's. They're actually something I'm interested in.
Hey, you forgot an error, in the song they call most of the italian peninsula two sicilies, it's strange that they mentioned the papal states, that their map included in the two sicilies
I think that’s more animation error than anything else. Two Sicilies and Papal States both definitely existed in the late 1830s.
@@Matthew-kg8nl Manz said error
@5:05 at least France and Switzerland are somewhat correct lol
The Archduchy of Austria stopped existing in 1806, it became the Kingdom of Austria. Also, the "South and it's the Maldives" is actually the Sultanate of the Maldives.
Him:I’m extreme of geography nerd
Me:same though
It seems the crew behind the show was aware of all the nitpicks about the original song and made sure to be as accurate as possible this time, (lyrics wise at least). It’s really cool to see how aware this team is of the fandom around this show.
I mean, the fandom is extremely responsible for this show's revival
6:30 - 6:40 Great Britain was mentioned yes,
Saxe-Coburg Gotha was a royal family of the UK from 1837-1914, from then it was the Windsor Royal Family, Queen Victoria is a former Empress of the UK from 1837-1901.
Also the map shows the USA in a VERY inaccurate state, the most notable inaccuracy of which is Alaska being part of it.
Yesterday I watched the 19th century geography song and thought when will EmperorTigerstar make a video on this low and behold we have it the next day.
7:45 "The South" is probably referring to the Confederate States of America..?
The lyric might be "the sultanate of maldives" instead of "the south and its the maldives"
@@Flazerie Okay. I forgot the show needs to maintain lyrics.
Yeah, the Confederate States didn't exist till 1864. So during the year where this episode is supposed to take place, (1843), the Confederate States never existed. Heck, The Mexican-American war never happened during that time.
Finally, I’ve been waiting for someone to cover this!
I believe they made the map inaccurate on purpose because they’re trying to represent what actual maps of the 1830s looked like.
No. It wasn't. Maps from 18th to 19th century were way better than the rest (17th century and below), so you're wrong.
Lore-wise, yakko is proud of the first iteration of this song that he sang, and would jump at an opportunity to sing it again.
How long would am 18th century "States within the HRE" song last?

I just forgot what perak is

5:10 - This is when France attacked Europe (Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte )
the ungodly inaccuracy of the maps may have been done on purpose to represent the fact that maps up until at least the mid to late 19th century had a tendency to be more of an art piece than an actual map
A global map is mostly useless. People would normally use more precised maps
Turning Europe into a giant Anglo Saxon kingdoms era Britain is the funniest cursed thing I’ve ever seen. Utterly mad 🤣😜
I can forgive that they don't mention Sweden-Norway during this period, but that map... that Map!
The map is technically the start of 1800s kinda.
Where is sweet Kandy?
I love your channel keep up the great stuff!
I'm pretty sure when they were mentioning the south, they were talking about the Confederacy

The lyrics aren’t bad. But that map is pretty cursed. I mean I get it this is the worst time period you could have picked for a map because the borders are so small you’ll be drawing circles but the lyrics aren’t bad. If they made the borders semi accurate then this wouldn’t be a bad song.
8:23 actually this map is wrong too as the Empire of Punjab was mentioned, though it was actually called the Sikh Empire
Huh didn't know Mongolia was a really big lake.
Am I the only one who now wants to see that song sung by TigerStar?
(2:13) Here's the problem, some sources are so full of bias, misinformation, and inaccuracies that they shouldn't be listed. As to the question of finding a good, reliable source, try something like Reuters or the Associated Press.
8:07 Fascinating how the song covered all of Central and Eastern Europe with the exception of the principalities of Wallachia and Moldova.
Didn't Prussia like own west Germany from the Border with France to Hanover? So it ain't really that wrong.
Yesn't, after the Napoleonic Wars Prussia incorporated many of the independent German States that make up the current Bundesland Nordrhein-Westpfalen as well as much of the southern area of Niedersachsen however most of the western German States remained entirely independent within the new confederation which replaced the HRE
I mean, it's like fusing the kaliningrad oblast with poland and calling that "russia". It's still 90% wrong.
If they'd done the whole song, they totally could've made an "America, now in one piece!" joke. I know the civil war hadn't happened yet, much less ended, but that shouldn't stop them
I'm sorry but there actually is no excuse for having maps that bad. It is literally more effort to create a map that bad than it would be to at least get the shapes of the continents right
"Istanbul is right next to Dover and I don't know how i feel about it..." -EmperorTigerstar
I like how there is an inaccuracy in the very first words.
Regardless of year in the 1800's, the Acts of Union of 1800 established the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland throughout the 19th Century. So according to Yakko, Ireland doesn't exist.
United Kingdom should have mentioned rather than Great Britain - then Ireland would be included
This song takes place in 1843 as proved by Wakko saying we were singing from a 150 years from now, the first Animanics episode came out in 1993 so this happened in 1843
"my job is to take childrens shows to seriously." bruh.
Schleswig in the late 1830s was a part of Denmark. Holstein was part of the defunct HRE in a personal union with Denmark.
Has anybody notice the Philippines (my home) lost some 50% of the islands such as Palawan, Samar, Leyte, Cebu, Bohol and Masbate, Mindanao is connected to one of the Indonesian or Malaysian islands, and they mention Sulu, which is a island and a part of the Philippines, not a country.
The Sulu Sultanate was not controlled and administered by the Spanish out of Manila (so it was an independent country) until roughly 5 decades after this song is set. In the past it also controlled Palawan and much of Northern Borneo, but these possessions were stripped away over the centuries. The Philippines as we know it today was not a single political unit (that is controlling all the territory it does now) until the end of the period. The Sultanate itself wasn’t disestablished until 1915 by agreement with the Americans.

Wakko probably helped God to come up with names for places, and he switched Iceland for Greenland just for giggles.
Minor Nitpick Austria became an Empire after the Dissolution of the HRE so the Habsburgs could keep an Imperial Title, thus matching Napoleon (and Russia).
Fun fact: it was costumary that whenever various Monarchs from different nations were to be rolecalled they would go by eiher rank or Country Alphabetic Order, however, if present, the Austrian Emperor would the first. This was convention because the Habsburgs were seen as "more Imperial/Prestigious" than the other Monarchs, by being former HRE Emperors.
