@global.things There are way more corrections you have to make, for example even simple things like the colours of the german flag you got wrong - it's not black red yellow, it's black red gold!!
Actually, the third colour on the German tricolour is "gold". That's due to the Lützow Free Corp, a German regiment (mostly composed of students) which fought against France in the Napoleonic Wars. They wore black uniforms with red trims and gold plated buttons. Their fraternity also arose from a wish to unify the independent German states, poetically expressed in the slogan "From the *blackness* of servitude, through *bloody* battles, to the *golden* light of freedom."
@@jan_noah According to our constitution, The Basic Law ("das Grundgesetz" in German), the official tricolour is "schwarz, rot und gold" (black, red, and gold). The golden part is only depicted as yellow due to economic reasons, plus yellow is gold and white is silver under European norms of heraldry which used to govern how crests and flags were composed. (Not so fun) fact: Among German right wing extremists, "black, red, and mustard" is a dog whistle for the intention to (illegally) restore the German monarchy, so we take the official colours, including *gold* , very seriously in Germany.
@@jan_noah Du hast bedingt recht. Das Grundgesetz ist “de jure”nicht unsere Verfassung/Constitution, jedoch übernimmt sie jegliche Verantwortung und Aufgaben einer Verfassung ist somit “de facto” unsere Verfassung. Der historische Hintergrund ist die Teilung von Ost und West. Im West deutschen Staat trat das Grundgesetz als Übergangs Lösung in Kraft. Denn, eine Verfassung kann nur ein “richtiges” Land haben und das war es ja noch nicht, da Deutschland ja noch geteilt war. Man befürchtete, dass durch das verwenden einen Verfassung man politisch den Anspruch auf den Osten Deutschland verlieren würde (wo btw. Auch die jetzigen polnisch/russische Gebiete dazu zählten). Nach der wieder vereinigen jedoch, obwohl das Grundgesetz dieses selber festgelegt hatte, wurde jedoch sie nicht durch eine Verfassung ersetzt. Grunde gibt es hier viele, zwei davon sind: 1. Kosten und Aufwand - lohnt sich einfach nicht, da es ihm Grunde kein Unterschied macht… 2. Bei einer Verfassung müsste diese durch ein Volksentscheid beschlossen werden, jedoch wollte man die Ostdeutsche Bevölkerung in die Demokratie intergrieren, bevor man diese über eine neue demokratische Verfassung entscheiden lässt. Jedoch ist dies a.) Nicht wirklich passiert b.) Die politische Stabilität über einen solchen Prozess diskutieren zu können war nie da, da wie man selber merkt alle paar Jahre immer wieder neue Krisen bzw. Wichtige Themen anstehen, die solche Verhandlungen stören würden.
Hello, I am 17 years old. Let me explain to you some points. Palestine is an Arab country in origin. In the past, in 1919, there was a war and Palestine became the destination of all Jews. But when they became numerous in number in Palestine, a group of them was found called the Zionists, which is the corrupt and racist group of Jews. They wanted to make Palestine their country and expel all the Arabs from it, calling it “Israel.” These dreams of the Zionists continued until 1948, when a war broke out between the Arab countries and the Zionists. Unfortunately, the Arabs lost the battle, and then Israel became a bitter reality and is the most criminal country. It does not know what is great or what is small. All it cares about is making all of the Arab lands it can for itself. To achieve that goal, it committed humanitarian massacres, expelled millions of families from their homes, and imprisoned children, women, and the elderly, in addition to young people who spent decades in prisons for dozens of years, with the use of the utmost forms. Unlawful torture, neither legal nor humane, was the fate of everyone who said no to the Zionists to perish, and this Palestinian resistance called “Hamas or the Al-Aqsa Flood” is a natural reaction to those brutal acts and the usurpation of their land. However, Israel did not stop the brutal acts and is now imposing a siege. On the Gaza Strip, which contains 2 million people, this siege includes preventing access to water, electricity, internet, or food to the people of Gaza, and preventing the arrival of any humanitarian aid from any country, in addition to the continuous bombing by Israeli aircraft. After everything you do, you play the victim to gain the sympathy of society. The European who does not know the truth of the matter and uses all means to prevent the arrival of this truth, please review your beliefs after what you have read now and you can be sure of what I said.
@@pommes0078 This is bullshit. I live at the french border and no one here has something against France. We have better thing to worry about then some stupid historical rivalries.
Ich möchte kein Wasser in den Wein schütten, aber die angebliche Freundschaft gab es nur für einige Jahrzehnte nach dem Krieg, weil Deutschland aus ökonomischen Gründen gezwungen war, sich dem Westen, insbesondere den USA, anzuschließen. Deutsche Diplomaten kommunizieren seit einigen Jahren in erstaunlicher Offenheit, dass diese Freundschaft nie ernst gemeint war. Die französischen Diplomaten, die seit Jahrhunderten freundlich tun aber im Hintergrund schon die eigenen Schläge vorbereiten, sehen das sicher ähnlich (siehe 4 Kriege in den letzten 220 Jahren unter maßgeblicher Beteiligung Frankreichs). Echte Freundschaft gab es hingegen schon immer nur zwischen Deutschland und anderen germanischsprachigen Staaten (Niederlande, Dänemark, Schweden etc.). Vermutlich ist das bei Frankreich so mit anderen romanischsprachigen Ländern wie Spanien oder Italien, falls die Franzosen es sich nicht sogar mit ihren eigenen Verwandten verdorben haben.
Nice video bro, As a French, I see that you're doing a great job, like you (I guess), I love Geopolitical science and countries comparison. Keep it up !
Here's the background behind why Bremen is so small and has two sections: When the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved in 1806, what had been since 1646 (after earlier privileges of autonomy of 1186) the Free Imperial City of Bremen was not mediatized. Rather being incorporated into the enlarged territory of one of the surrounding monarchies, it was recognized (along with Hamburg) as a sovereign Free Hanseatic City. In 1811, in an effort to enforce Napoleon's Berlin Decree embargoing Britain, the First French Empire had annexed the city-state, but at the Congress of Vienna of 1815, Johann Smidt lobbied successfully to have the city's independence restored as one of the 39 sovereign states within the then new German Confederation. In 1827, Bremen bought land at the mouth of the Weser from the Kingdom of Hanover, in order to build a new seaport, Bremerhaven. This ensured that Bremen remained Germany's main port of embarkation for emigrants to the Americas, and that it developed as an entrepôt for Germany's late developing colonial trade. After the Germans surrendered in WWII, Bremen became a US-controlled enclave surrounded by the British occupation zone. The reason the Americans wanted Bremen and Bremerhaven is because they needed a support point with a harbor, to allow the unhindered support of US forces in the American occupation zone in southern Germany.

It's not realy fair comparing French and German cities' population within the city limits as France and Germany have a very different way of defining city limits (they are in general way smaller in France. One should compare metropolitan areas. Then one thing you can notice is that France is really centralized. Our second city, Lyon, has about 2.3 million residents (I have a doubt on this figure as I've always seen something like 1.5 M). Our first, Paris, about 11 million. 1/6 French person live in Paris. In Germany it's 4.7 M for Berlin, then 1.8 M for Hamburg.
@@derhobbit5277 It's not really about that, he just meant that the administrative limits are small, but it has nothing to do with the actual size of the urban area. The urban area is what people generally associate with the actual size of a city, and in France there's a particular disconnection between the size of the administrative limits and the urban areas. That's just a cultural habit I guess. It doesn't mean the city is smaller or bigger, it just means what the mayor controls is smaller.
@@Luca-hb5xs This depends on the definition used (urban vs metropolitan area). One (involving the continuously built up area) is more restrictive than the other (involving the portion of the population working in one central built up area if I'm not mistaken). Using one definition the Rhine-Ruhr area is one element, using another it's several cities. I've never been there nor did I do deep research about this particular area.
The third stripe on the german flag is not yellow, its golden. Its just allowed to print it yellow because printing stuff golden is kind of a struggle. But in its supposed to be a golden stripe.

@@Hero-Gandalf Allow me to correct you. The Blue Colbat was established by Valérie Giscard d'Estaing by 1975 til 2022 that match with EU flag 🇲🇫🇪🇺 But President Marcron wanted to change it whatever the reason to it's original shade from the French Revolution 1792. Dark Blue, White and Bloody Red
That call you used for the eagle...is the call of a red-tailed hawk. Hollywood always uses that for the bald eagle because they don't actually sound that menacing. Officially the French Fifth Republic doesn't have a national emblem according to its current constitution besides the tricolor flag (the coat of arms used on French passports is the diplomatic emblem of France and is unofficial), so the rooster isn't its official national animal but it's still important to the French people. Here's why: The Gallic Rooster decorated French flags during the Revolution. It represents the French people because of the play on words of the Latin gallus meaning Gaul and gallus meaning rooster. The rooster has been used as an ornament on church bell towers in France since the early Middle Ages, but at that time it was probably used to symbolize vigilance as roosters are known to crow at the expectation of the sunrise. The Gallic Rooster has been used for centuries by folk artists as a decorative motif on ceramics or carved and veneered wooden furniture. The rooster played an important role as the revolutionary symbol, but it would become an official symbol under the July Monarchy and the Second Republic when it was seen on the pole of regiments’ flags. In 1830, the Gallic Rooster replaced the fleur-de-lis as the national emblem, and it was again discarded by Napoleon III.
The German flag’s third stripe might look yellow, but believe me, it is actually golden. Just do not question that. The last ones who insisted on calling it yellow left unpleasant memories. Great video though!
German people are 4 times more represented than French on your RUclips channel. Now I understand why your last poll gave Germany as a winner ahead with 80% vs France with 20% 😅
It always bothers me to see all those French people complaining about foreigners pronunciation of French names. Their pronunciation of foreign names is not better and they know it.
Modern Germany's establishment is a very debatable topic, many people say Germany began with the German Empire, Many say it started with the Weimar Republic, German Confederation, the Holy Roman Empire of German Nation, etc.
French people are our brothers i feel really sad about the consequences of the french mass immigration. But sadly the future for Germany looks similar. What have we done to our countries.
As soon as we look at this question of mass emigration, we are accused of racism. It's silly. I don't think that people who come to France or other european country are bad, lazy, dishonest, etc. But they carry another vision of the world, another form of civilization which ends up coming into conflict with ours, especially since the latter is in crisis. The problem is only the number. Thirty to forty percent of the current number would be fine. Maybe, if their is no newcomers we stil can live together today,with mutch of the peole already here,i hopes. I trully trie to find a way to live together. But for them as for us, if nothing is done, it risks ending very badly. A former French interior minister said (in 2015, at the time of his resignation): "from now on we are side by side, soon we will be face to face." He's a socialist eh, not an "extreme right", you know, this label that the demagogues of excessive optimism have as their only response when we talk to them about the ever-increasing tensions, the numbers of terrorist attacks, the increasing amount of acts of vandalism on churches (923 incidents were recorded in France in 2022, compared to 857 in 2021, an increase of 7.7) and the acts anti-semites who are constantly growing, and the ever-increasing number of young people who refuse to shake women's hands and put religion above the republic. (It seems preferable to not address the problem of crime for fear of falling into amalgamation. ). I still hope I'm wrong and that we will get past these tensions. But then we will have to take a hit on real integration and no longer accept the slightest challenge to our values without reacting. And if someone refuses the laws of a country, its customs, I don't see that it is scandalous that a nationality that he hates so mutch is taken away from him.
Glad to know I'm worth five of your German viewers, quality over quantity huhuhuhu But really speaking, that was a great video, informative and all. Loved your rendition of the Eiffel Tower, 10/10 would visit again.

7:01 that is so cap, whenever I am in France I struggle so hard to find anyone being able to speak english at all. Meanwhile in Germany almost everybody can speak it alright and many speak it well.
Many of the English speakers are not fluent, but they can converse to some extent! English is taught in schools so many people know at least enough to communicate with basic phrases.
There's a complex about our accent in France, and a cultural habit of making fun of those (including amongst us french people) that speak a language badly, without real mastery and with a weird accent. The result is that, average french people that can understand you, are often a bit afraid of trying to actually speak/reply. They assume they can't and shouldn't try.
People speaking Germanic languages struggle less with English than people speaking Latin languages. So yeah, there are definitely more English speakers in Germany than in France. This being said, German speakers are also certainly the less fluent in English among Germanic languages speakers (comparing to Scandinavia, the Netherlands or Flemish Belgium). Very certainly that comes from the fact there are about 100 million German speakers in Europe and as such a stronger cultural industry in that language than in less spoken ones. Spain also has the same problem as Spanish is a global language and as such there are less incentives to learn English in order to have access to global contents.
I'm very proud of our grandmothers and grandfathers and so gratefull to them. They turned this heriditary emnity with so many wars into a real french german friendship. I wish that other countries in the world could follow this example.
Modern Germany was founded at 1/11871, the current republic was established in 1949. The Kingdom of Germany was established in 919 with Henry I, the first King of Germany and with his son Otto I, founder of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation (HRE)
As an Austrian, I'm offended by how you took so much care to not anger the French with their words but gave me pain in my ears with your German pronunciation But a great video!
12:27 David Guetta is bigger with 26M 6:00 There are more inhabitants in German cities because there are fewer (2007 cities in Germany compared to 34945 in France). 2:25 France is 41st with 672 051km² (you forgot french collectivities like new caledonia, french polynesia, st-martin, ...)
urbanisation in France and Germany might be more similar than your numbers suggest. the difference in the number of cities is due more to the different definition of what legally qualifies as 'city'
No, there are not more inhabitants in german cities because of there are fewer. There are more inhabitants in german cities because germany has an overall bigger population lol

Stubborn like a child that doesn't want to change its opinion for exempe, but to be very frank, everyone forgot about the actually meaning of that word, for us it's just that old vintage word that our ancestors used to describe the germans and we use it back as jokes
as a frenchie I didn't even know our flag changed
same 😂
@@strasbourgeois1lol we changed it into it's original Tricolor Flag.
Dark Blue Navy
@@christophermichaelclarence6003 yes!
As far as i know, at first it was changed to the Blue like in the EU Flag to show support, but Macron changed it back for the nationalists.
@@Hero-Gandalf Allow me to correct you. The Blue Colbat was established by Valérie Giscard d'Estaing by 1975 til 2022 that match with EU flag 🇲🇫🇪🇺
But President Marcron wanted to change it whatever the reason to it's original shade from the French Revolution 1792. Dark Blue, White and Bloody Red

That call you used for the eagle...is the call of a red-tailed hawk. Hollywood always uses that for the bald eagle because they don't actually sound that menacing. Officially the French Fifth Republic doesn't have a national emblem according to its current constitution besides the tricolor flag (the coat of arms used on French passports is the diplomatic emblem of France and is unofficial), so the rooster isn't its official national animal but it's still important to the French people. Here's why: The Gallic Rooster decorated French flags during the Revolution. It represents the French people because of the play on words of the Latin gallus meaning Gaul and gallus meaning rooster.
The rooster has been used as an ornament on church bell towers in France since the early Middle Ages, but at that time it was probably used to symbolize vigilance as roosters are known to crow at the expectation of the sunrise. The Gallic Rooster has been used for centuries by folk artists as a decorative motif on ceramics or carved and veneered wooden furniture. The rooster played an important role as the revolutionary symbol, but it would become an official symbol under the July Monarchy and the Second Republic when it was seen on the pole of regiments’ flags. In 1830, the Gallic Rooster replaced the fleur-de-lis as the national emblem, and it was again discarded by Napoleon III.
Have you seen rooster fight, they are terrifiant

The German flag’s third stripe might look yellow, but believe me, it is actually golden. Just do not question that. The last ones who insisted on calling it yellow left unpleasant memories.
Great video though!
Yes it's golden
What in the world is wrong with calling gold yellow which it factually is
Could you perhaps compair the Netherlands with Belgium and Luxembourg? Would be very cool to see the Benelux fight it out.

Modern Germany's establishment is a very debatable topic, many people say Germany began with the German Empire, Many say it started with the Weimar Republic, German Confederation, the Holy Roman Empire of German Nation, etc.
I would say Germany started when Charlemagne's empire split into West Francia (France) and East Francia (Germany) in the year 843.
Started with the Nazi

French people are our brothers i feel really sad about the consequences of the french mass immigration. But sadly the future for Germany looks similar. What have we done to our countries.
That's a good question :/ I hope you don't end up like us and that it all gets sorted out.
As soon as we look at this question of mass emigration, we are accused of racism. It's silly. I don't think that people who come to France or other european country are bad, lazy, dishonest, etc. But they carry another vision of the world, another form of civilization which ends up coming into conflict with ours, especially since the latter is in crisis. The problem is only the number. Thirty to forty percent of the current number would be fine. Maybe, if their is no newcomers we stil can live together today,with mutch of the peole already here,i hopes. I trully trie to find a way to live together. But for them as for us, if nothing is done, it risks ending very badly. A former French interior minister said (in 2015, at the time of his resignation): "from now on we are side by side, soon we will be face to face." He's a socialist eh, not an "extreme right", you know, this label that the demagogues of excessive optimism have as their only response when we talk to them about the ever-increasing tensions, the numbers of terrorist attacks, the increasing amount of acts of vandalism on churches (923 incidents were recorded in France in 2022, compared to 857 in 2021, an increase of 7.7) and the acts anti-semites who are constantly growing, and the ever-increasing number of young people who refuse to shake women's hands and put religion above the republic. (It seems preferable to not address the problem of crime for fear of falling into amalgamation. ). I still hope I'm wrong and that we will get past these tensions. But then we will have to take a hit on real integration and no longer accept the slightest challenge to our values without reacting. And if someone refuses the laws of a country, its customs, I don't see that it is scandalous that a nationality that he hates so mutch is taken away from him.
This channel has a really good sense for the right amount of trolling XD
Une vidéo intelligente, ça fait plaisir.

While france is larger then germany now, germany used to be a little bit larger after they formed in 1871
The european mainland at least. Because the colonies make the difference quite obvious.
@@xenotypos yeah colonial is different. Since it was the second largest empire. Third was either germany or the netherlands
@@xenotyposi mean Germany had colonies too but the allies stole them just like the alsace and prussia

@@global.things your welcome! I’m am the geography geek myself and that’s why I like your vids so much
Lots of information given in a record time of 13 minutes. Wow!🙂
7:01 that is so cap, whenever I am in France I struggle so hard to find anyone being able to speak english at all. Meanwhile in Germany almost everybody can speak it alright and many speak it well.
Many of the English speakers are not fluent, but they can converse to some extent! English is taught in schools so many people know at least enough to communicate with basic phrases.
There's a complex about our accent in France, and a cultural habit of making fun of those (including amongst us french people) that speak a language badly, without real mastery and with a weird accent. The result is that, average french people that can understand you, are often a bit afraid of trying to actually speak/reply. They assume they can't and shouldn't try.
around 80% of germanys english speakers english sucks and sound shit while 15% are understandable and 5% good
People speaking Germanic languages struggle less with English than people speaking Latin languages. So yeah, there are definitely more English speakers in Germany than in France. This being said, German speakers are also certainly the less fluent in English among Germanic languages speakers (comparing to Scandinavia, the Netherlands or Flemish Belgium). Very certainly that comes from the fact there are about 100 million German speakers in Europe and as such a stronger cultural industry in that language than in less spoken ones. Spain also has the same problem as Spanish is a global language and as such there are less incentives to learn English in order to have access to global contents.

Modern Germany was founded at 1/11871, the current republic was established in 1949. The Kingdom of Germany was established in 919 with Henry I, the first King of Germany and with his son Otto I, founder of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation (HRE)
At that time there was no German nation.
As a german, I think that you should become my history teacher. ( Sadly I don't have any more geography because I'm in my graduation class)
As an Austrian, I'm offended by how you took so much care to not anger the French with their words but gave me pain in my ears with your German pronunciation
But a great video!

12:27 David Guetta is bigger with 26M
6:00 There are more inhabitants in German cities because there are fewer (2007 cities in Germany compared to 34945 in France).
2:25 France is 41st with 672 051km² (you forgot french collectivities like new caledonia, french polynesia, st-martin, ...)
urbanisation in France and Germany might be more similar than your numbers suggest. the difference in the number of cities is due more to the different definition of what legally qualifies as 'city'
No, there are not more inhabitants in german cities because of there are fewer. There are more inhabitants in german cities because germany has an overall bigger population lol
