Chad and Romania 🇹🇩🇷🇴
Germany and Austria or Belarus and Ukraine
Bolivia vs Guatemala
Both have a very high indigenous population.
Bolivia is much larger, but has a smaller population.
Both are relatively poor by Latin American standards.
india and pakistan
You should do Algeria and Libya, Sudan and Egypt, Sudan and South Sudan, France and Germany, Argentina and Chile, Poland and Belarus, Italy and Greece, and Turkey and Azerbaijan
(I gave you many suggestions)
As someone of Venezuelan heritage, I don’t think I’ve ever clicked on a video as fast as this one.
YAAAAS
And you’re in Canada.
@@anonymoususer8895 ?
@@michaelmay230 You heard me!
@@anonymoususer8895 what do you mean “and you’re in Canada.”?
As a venezuelan, I approve this video. Love your channel since years ago!
Also, the eternal debate on who owns the arepa, the answers is both.. and none. Indigenous tribes came out with the recipe independently and even exchanged ways to cook (similar dishes to the arepa also came to be in México and Perú with different names and uses for corn).
Thank you and thanks for sharing this!
Lol, as a Colombian, I think this is the only answer! I’m just glad we get to enjoy them 😋
What luzbiensuave said. I am also Venezuelan.
Finally, a venezuelan who's not overnationalistic about arepas and understands that it is a pre-columbian dish.
Arepas are full from colombia, dont know why there a debate on this
¡Viva Colombia!!! 🇨🇴 🇨🇴 🇨🇴
Vamos Colombia!!!
¡Y Venezuela! 🇻🇪
(Soy colombiano, jamás he puesto un pie en Venezuela, pero en fin… 😅)
VIVA COLOMBIA HPTAAA!!!
Por que?😂😂😂
...Viva Falcao!!
My dad is from Venezuela. I had the pleasure of going to Venezuela this past summer. Venezuela is a beautiful country with an incredible culture and great food.
Food? I hear they're starving.
In Colombia I hear people still get robbed and attacked as tourist. Weather is Medellin or cali you name it
@@blueb4829 simplemente oyes pura paja
@@blueb4829 There's now food, it's just extremely difficult to buy for the minimum wage population of around $4 per month, but the food is delicious, the one we've had for decades before this collapse
@@danielherrera551 it depends on which part of the city you go. There are good and bad parts of the city.
As a Venezuelan that lived in Colombia for 5 years and now lives in Venezuela again I approve
Todo lo mejor para Venezuela en su futuro. 🇨🇴🤝🇻🇪
¿Cómo se ve la situación ahora que regresó?
@@Jart988 Algo difícil, pero se puede lograr vivir decentemente comparado a antes, cuando me fuí había mucha escasez, desempleo y los que tenían trabajo ganaban una miseria, ahorita hay comida y trabajo, la paga no es la mejor pero te permite vivir el día a día, muy por debajo de Colombia en ese aspecto pero mucho mejor a como era cuando me fuí.
@@fujiwaranovari Suena alentador. Esperemos que las cosas sigan mejorando y que puedan sacar al país adelante
You know, as a Colombian American, this was instantly eye catching. Such beautiful and rich countries with painful histories. I’m going to be in Colombia in a few weeks for Christmas, and it’s going to be quite a party the whole time!
Represent! I'm so glad you caught this.
You’re Canadian. Not American. You’re confusing the two countries.
Since we have discovered you’re Canadian, edit your comment to say “Canadian” and NOT “American”
You have to be white to be American. Not brown like you.
You can’t be American or even in America because you’re too poor.
Muchas gracias por hablar de las maravillas naturales de nuestros hermosos paises, de padre colombiano y madre venezolana, para mi los dos paises son mi tierra❤
Love this! Like you said, tensions between Colombians and us Venezuelans have grown significantly in the past years, but this type of content really shows how much we have in common. At the end of the day we're brothers, and we should embrace that instead of following a pattern of hatred. Thank you for this video, pretty interesting and entertaining. Saludos desde Venezuela!
Gracias! :)
Tensions have risen due to the dictator currently in power in Venezuela, who spreads hatred of Colombians among Venezuelans
@@sanexpreso2944 really? I tought it would be more due to immigration. People get mad at poor people when they see them, specially when they can be blamed for being foreign or all painted as lower class thieves. But then again, the same happened to Colombian immigrants when Venezuela was richer, and Colombians have bigger problems than complaining about more poor people, there’s already a lot. Most tensions are just complaining about poor people and accents. Which are already a thing between Colombians from diffenret regions, so not a new prejudice at all
@@yucol5661 Both countries have similar accents
@@yucol5661 It's a mix of both actually, while xenophobia towards immigrants from venezuela has increased in recent years it is worth noting the unfortunate causes that have led to this, you see, while there are a bunch of people that act like a**h0les towards venezuelans just because of xenophobia, the truth is that most of the hatred comes from Venezuelan gangs and thieves that cause a lot of problems.
Theres this group mostly made of immigrants from Venezuela that handles a lot of the organized crime in Colombia's capital, Bogota, this group's origins can be traced back to Venezuela's poor handling of their prisons, as the prisoners had total control of them (in the Torocon prison they even had a zoo), and due to the lack of border control, many of these gang members managed to cross into Colombia, and recruit even more immigrants to their gang, nowadays they've become one of the most brutal gangs in the region.
We need measures like a proper border control to be enforced to ensure that people with ill-intentions don't cause more problems, as these kind of people harm both Colmbians and Venezuelans (since the vast majority of them are good people), and the gang's forces need to face the consecuences of their actions (which is very hard to do since the Colombian judicial system is full of flaws and corruption), when those conditions are met, it will be much easier for Colombians and Venezuelans to start building a better future.
Was born in Caracas, Venezuela. I’m grateful you covered the history of the country! Simon Bolivar is a big hero of mine
Bolívar vendió las patrias americanas a los ingleses, a ver si te quitas esa idea pendeja de Bolívar libertador
Simón Bolivar was a coward that wanted power. He was a traitor with Miranda and declare himself a dictator of the whole continent. That’s why the people who loved the republic tried to kill him.
This was a pleasant surprise as someone whose father is Colombian! I appreciate you making this!
Well thanks for watching!
I'm Colombian. Great video! Thanks for your interest in our beautiful land. We've been growing a lot as a nation, together with our brothers Venezuelans.
No me hubiese imaginado a Mr beat comparando a Colombia y Venezuela , pero no me quejo jajaja .
Otro excelente video Mr beat , te quedó genial . :)
Posdata: Mr beat hablando español , fue un momento muy genial de ver .
Yess! I am taking Spanish classes right now! It’s an amazing language!
¡Aprecio las amables palabras!
@@iammrbeat Gracias Mr beat , por comentar y ponerle corazón a mi comentario. :)
Significa mucho viniendo de usted
Lastima que puso mal el mapa de Venezuela sino yo tambien le felicitaria
As a Colombian, I didn't know people in other countries didn't drink oat meal.
They are weird, oat meal is good for you
Honestly, your Spanish is already better than like 80% of non-Spanish Speakers. You did surprisingly well, keep it up Mr. Beat!
Gracias. :)

Él está no mal pero está no bueno.
I am uncomfortable with a comment on a video that talks about Venezuela and Colombia in which the profile photo is communist, especially knowing that Venezuela is the way it is because of that type of ideology.
Mamerto hp
It's a shame you didn't mention the legendary Colombian figure, coronel Aureliano Buendia. He led nearly 32 armed revolts, and even though he lost all of them, he was still famous for his metallic goldfish. An icon of the nation.
nobel prize for the best comment
Las perdido todas ? 😢😢 Que mal pero lo importante es que lo intento, juzgar a los líderes que les tocó tan difícil tarea en aquellos años no está bien hay que vivir los momentos y sentir en carne propia para saber la indignación y el porque de sus desiciones seguro eran tiempos crueles mucha injusticia y había que hacer cosas para poder cambiar esa situación por eso no me gusta cuando quieren empeñar la imagen de Bolívar seguro tuvo que ser un hombre recio y fuerte para poder liderar lo que hizo eso es una tarea terrible
I was born and raised in Venezuela, lived there for 18 years and I am now currently living in the US, but before that happened I lived in Bogotá for over a month due to some migration processes. This was such a cool and interesting video! It is true that both countries have a lot more in common rather than differences between them, and almost all the Colombians I've met throughout my life are amazing people. I really liked the part where you said that both countries, and particularly their people, will play a significant role in the future of the world. I believe that to be a 100% true! Gracias por este vídeo 🇻🇪🇨🇴
I am colombian, like, REALLY colombian. But I am currently living in Germany, and I struggle every single day trying to explain my friends how´s Colombia. Also with the general lifestyle of the region, and differencing it with things that are only of/from Colombia. This is a big step when taking into account that most of this europeans just think about latin america as the balkans, but tremendously bigger and louder. Apart of the fact that I will be forcing every single german I know to watch the whole video, (because it is great) I also died of complete cuteness when EL SEÑOR BEAT started speaking spanish. The guy is getting there he just needs to relax his tongue a bit (He is at least better than my math teacher that thinks I speak colombian)
Europeans think of South America Like the Balkans? The Balkans are several states devided by religious ethnic lines which cannot at all be said about South America. How did you get this idea?
I'm from Venezuela but I have been living in Colombia for 6 years. Both countries are really beautiful but the currently situation of Venezuela is hard broken 💔.
Oooh, as someone who has lived in Ecuador for many years and goes shopping in Colombia all the time because of how cheap it is, interesting to see. Lots of Venezuelans and Colombians live here since I live on the Ecuador/Colombia border. The cold weather always gets people confused with the mountains, it gets below freezing quite often here and it's that cold 365 days a year!
Those dang Andes!
Merry Christmas Mr. Beat 😊 Thank you for all your hard work in bringing us quality content
Same to you and thank you!
Amazing! I never knew much about Venezuela or Colombia, but this video helped me understand the two countries a little bit more.
As a Colombian-American, I grew up drinking oatmeal and having “chocolate con pan y queso”!! It was such a nice surprise you mentioned it around 18:55 because no one else I’ve met in USA has understood that… you can DRINK oatmeal, esp if you’re of Colombian heritage. Just wish you would’ve talked more about the beautiful Vallenato music style originating from Colombia!! Otherwise 10/10 video 💛💙❤️
Es como q aca en colombia venden la avena cubana y cuando la gente llega a cuba a tomarse su avena cubana resulta q alla no existe tal ajjajajaj es completamente de Colombia pero se vende como avena cubana 😂 falta ver si pasa lo mismo con el sandwich cubano y demas platos q como q no son muy de afuera en realidad, tengo mis dudas con la pizza hawaiana y la mexicana 😂🤣 La empanada ranchera, eso me recuerda q cuando era peque tambien compraba un taco q no era taco sino un tipo de empnada super picante jajajja Tambien lo q llaman empanada en otros lados no es la misma empanadita tipica colombiana!
The worst is that he said we drink coffe with cheese and not hot chocolate with cheese 18:55
En Venezuela también bebemos la avena, la verdad creí que así era la manera original que se consumía.
Non sense... people have been drinking and putting oatmeal in protein shakes in America since it became popular with bodybuilding since the 60's... dumb pobre chico statement
I’m taking a college history course this semester, and we learned about this earlier.
I think it’s also worth pointing out that Spain’s American colonies were not allowed to trade, not even with each other. All of their goods were to come from Spain, and Spain only. This was because the colonies were meant for resource extraction, and agriculture.
The King of Spain would also appoint the colonies’ viceroys. Often, somebody from Spain that the king trusted, not somebody from the colonies proper.
These all contributed to the colonies’ demand for independence, but they weren’t what sparked it.
If there are any Colombians and Venezuelans who would like to correct me, I’ll gladly take the criticism.
Nothing to correct. Good comment. Thank you
Woooah! Glad to see my country Colombia in one of my fave channels, thank you Mr Beat ♥
Represent!
Venezuelan here! You managed to maneuver through so weighty matters and still keep a lighthearted tone. Probably some people will still criticize you for not furthering more into the political issues. I wouldn't worry about them, I think this video serves a lovely purpose and the information is overwhelmingly accurate.
Muchas gracias Señor Beat! This is a complete video about two sibling countries with all in common but just divided by political interests.
Gracias también!
It is a very interesting video, but as a Colombian I should clarify that the cheese goes in hot cocoa, not in coffee, as it was claimed twice, other than that keep up the good work! 😊
I almost corrected you and said "It absolutely isn’t the only country on the continent that borders the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans", but I forget most US citizens consider América two continents 😁 it’s another great video!
Look up the southern end of Chile... Cape Horn
America is a country. NOT a continent.
@@anonymoususer8895 Failed geography and common sense I see...
@@trauko1388 Says you!
@@anonymoususer8895 lol!
Bogotá is THE andean megalopolis, You would think countries like Peru or Bolivia would have larger high-altitude cities but that's not the case. Specially since Colombia has vast swaths of plains along both the Caribbean and Pacific coasts.
I never expected an upload on a Monday of all days. I don't even mind, as Mr. Beat's content is epic!
Yeah the Thanksgiving holiday caused things to move back
@@iammrbeat All good! Better late than never. ^^
Me gusta que te enfoques en analizar otros países aparte de Estados Unidos

Hi Mr. Beat! Wow, as a colombian that has followed you for a long time ago, it's a pleasant surprise. I've never thought that you would make a video about my beautiful country. I've learnt a lot of U.S. history trough your channel and I'm so glad hearing you talk about my homeland. Greetings from Cartagena, Colombia 🇨🇴
Dos países hermanos. Somos muy parecidos. 🇨🇴 🇻🇪
Para nada Colombia es un Pais Andino Venezuela no solo una minima parte la Cultura es Muy Diferente..
@@DxNiieL_Z eres tontín?
Cada uno de estos dos países es lo más parecido que puede encontrar el uno y el otro. Obvio que hay diferencias, pero ni siquiera es remotamente comparable a la diferencia que puede hacer entre otros países vecinos como Francia/España, Turquía/Irán o China/India.
Incluso hay muchísimas más diferencias hay entre los kurdos y los árabes dentro del propio Irak que entre Colombia y Venezuela.
Para nada, los venezolanos siempre han od1ado a los colombianos, han mas4crado a s4n6re fría a miles de colombianos que les dieron la mano en un principio

Bro! I plan to visit Colombia in late 2024 and Babbel is really helping me learn & comprehend the Spanish language more fluently. 👍🏾
Gracias por hacer un video de mi país Mr. Beat! Saludos a Estados Unidos desde Venezuela! 🇻🇪🤝🇺🇸
I ignore if pabellón criollo is Venezuela's actual national dish, but bandeja paisa is NOT Colombia's national dish, it only represents food from the paisa region which is why it's named like that.
Im writing you from Bogota, Colombia! Im from Medellin and i love studying the political story of diferent countries, im very happy that you covered my bautiful country! If you ever come my most important recomendation is that you find a person or a group that you can trust so you enjoy your travels a lot more and actually see all the country.
PD: America seems cool but only to visit, i dont want to be killed by virtue of being a trans woman lol
"mujer trans" tipico antioqueño caido
Wut.
Loved the video
Somos países hermanos. Thank you for this very interesting video, man, I loved it. Sending hugs from Colombia!
I really hope you read this:
I LOVED your video! thanks for making a video not just about each country but about both! As a Colombian I love my Venezuelan siblings and we need to be proud of our relationship.
What I wanted to say is that El Dorado is actually located in La Laguna de Guatavita, is has a beautiful story! I encourage you to read more about it and maybe visiting!
thanks again
Had the best time visiting Colombia. You should do Nigeria vs Ghana or Indonesia vs Malaysia next.
Interesting video Mr. Beat! I just spent 2.5 months in Colombia. Would have loved to go to Venezuela but everyone said I shouldn't go. Will go to Peru tomorrow.
Greetings from Colombia, love your videos Mr Beat... find your channel leading into the 2020 election, and become obsessed with American politics for a while. Your content is compelling and engaging for all audiences.
I'm colombian but it saddens me that Alejandra Ghersi, aka Arca an electronic/industrial/alternative music producer and recording artist, that has worked with the likes of Kanye West, Rosalía and Björk is relatively unknown on her birth country, and only a microscopic population of venezolanos know about her talented paisana.
I'm venezuelan and I know her.
The Colombian history is so fascinating to just overlook it. 9 civil wars, 2 armed conflicts, paraestatal estructures, a pacted democracy, several peace agreements, I dont know men, you just were really short
And i dont think that the civil wars are going to stop easily
Glad I found this early, great vid man
Thank you for such an interesting video. From a Colombian, It’s great to hear people sharing facts about our beloved country. ¡Viva Colombia! 🇨🇴❤️
My best friend is from venezuela, can’t wait to learn more about his home!
Send this to them! I hope I didn't dishonor their home country.
@@iammrbeat huge fan, thanks for the reply. Already did, he thought you were mr beast at first, but now I finally have a reason to make him watch your videos. I love your work and love being able to send them to people for subjects they’re interested in (or more realistically things i’m interested in and frustrated they don’t know much about)
As a Venezuelan who's been a fan of your content for the last 5 years, I clicked on it in a heartbeat. Muchas gracias, Sr. Beat!!
Also, never in my life would I have expected u liking Danny Ocean, I thought u'd be more of a "La Vida Boheme" kind of guy XD.
La Vida Boheme also is amazing of course
Dear Mr Brat, Can I have your permission to make my own series of videos comparing countries with your style?
You don't need my permission. The more folks who do this, the merrier.
Exelente video muy buena explicación de historia profesor Beat
As a Colombian thank you Mr Beat!!!
Well thank YOU
I'm Venezuelan, but it's been almost 5 years since I left my country, I'm always happy to hear other people talk about it outside from the bad stuff that most people tend to focus on
I'm venezuelan with 30 years overseas, and yeah..I agree with you!
@jeremymyers924 30 años fuera del país!?!? Y no extrañas un poquito tú país natal?
(no me ofende si dices que no, soy venezolano y entiendo ese sentimiento)
@@ViroRads claro que lo extraño, todos los días. Aunque no nací en Venezuela, mi familia y yo llegamos a esa bendita tierra en los 70s, desde nuestro natal Portugal, cuando yo apenas tenia 4 años. A los 17 me fui por aventurero queriendo conocer el mundo. Pero aun mantengo mi acentazo caraqueño, sigo comiendo arepas, y a donde voy digo con muchísimo orgullo que soy venezolano, si mi país este en la mda y ahora todos nos tengan como culpables de todo los males.
No veo el día en que ya pueda regresar y vivir mis últimos años en esa Tierra de Gracia.
Señor beat, siempre me han gustado tus videos y me alegra ver tambien contenido internacional, buen video :)
Awesome video! It's cool to see a video of the history of these countries in such a big english speaking Channel. Saludos from vzla!!
Gracias!
Great video I’m proud to be Colombian American! One correction though, we don’t put cheese in coffee, we put it in hot chocolate lol 😅
As a Colombian myself, this video was an eye opener. I've been always told this country is doomed and the main goal is to leave, but you made me realise it is not quite like that. Yeah it may be a bit of a challenge compared to other countries' political, social and economical situation, but it doesn't mean it is impossible to have a worthy life in here, even better considering all the great stuff we have, it's just we don't put them to good use to the max.
Loved your vid!
Saludos desde Barranquilla ❤🇨🇴
Con petro irse sigue siendo la mejor idea
Mr beat thank you so much for making the effort of rehearsing and comparing these beautiful countries, so much appreciating
Woooooow. I'm actually from Colombia 🇨🇴! And I've been a subscriber of yours for a whiiiiiiile Now. Never thought you'd cover my country, so thank you!
I really enjoy your stuff!!! Your supreme court briefs specially!
When Colombia and Venezuela have large capybara populations: 😃!!! thanks, Mr. Beat
:)
0:44 I always thought Chile could claim to border the Atlantic because of their strange border in Tierra del Fuego, but I know that in a technical sense that's an inlet sea border and Argentina does cut it off by a sliver in a sense.
Wonderful, I really liked you did this video!
A big hug from Colombia, and welcome here! 🇨🇴
Let’s go!!! As a a fan of your channel who happens to be a Colombian-Venezuelan living in the US. This is another epic moment right after your live video with the Geography King! 💯
I wish you born in the US and one of your parents is Colombian and one is Venezuelan
As a Venezuelan, this was a lovely, respectful and very enjoyable video to watch. Thank you for being you Mr. Beat. And thank you to Colombia for being a great neighbour, wouldn’t want it any other way!
(Our arepa is still better than yours, btw)
Las arepas venezolanas son sandwiches de harinapan, no encuentran que echarle adentro. Las arepas colombianas tienen mejor masa y sabor sin tanto invento y son más saludables.
*Arepas are from Colombia. Corn dates back to 2 centuries before in Colombia than in Venezuela. Colombia has 72 kinds of arepas, Venezuela only a twentieth. Don't even compare.* The only one that I have heard is "reina pepiada" or something like that, which did not impress me at all. Colombian gastronomy is superior in every way. We are similar, but really different.
Colombia has magical realism, something you won't find anywhere else
Honey, wake up! Mr Beat just uploaded a new comparison video! Big fan from the UK. Keep up the great work!
Colombia 🥳🎉🇨🇴
Btw it probably has been mentioned already but Gran Colombia was just called Colombia, the "Gran" is added when talking about it in order to differentiate it from modern-day Colombia
Él nombre se lo dió Bolivar, esa unificación surgió en Venezuela
I’ve always been interested in these two countries
Well me too, Tyler. :)
Comparing South American history with North American history really puts into perspective just how hard it really was for Americans and Mexicans to build such large nation states.
It's kind of amazing the United States and Canada were able to pull it off, especially.
I think it had a lot to do with the Viceroyalty system, most rebellions started as a way not to shake off Spanish rule... but to get away from Lima, Bogota and Buenos Aires who loved to send their relatives to the choicest jobs and administrative positions in other, lesser cities.
So, when Napoleon showed up, Quito, Montevideo, Caracas, Santiago, etc, they all swore fealty to Ferdinand VII... bypassing the viceroys.
And so the shooting started, it became an independence issue afterwards.
Smaller colonies and a federal system prevented some cities to gaining too much power over others... for a while, it also ended up in bloodshed for the US eventually.
The US has nothing to do with this. Go back to Moscow Ivan.
All the big countries on the Americas (Canada, USA, Brazil, Argentina and Mexico) function as federations, all the mid ones and smaller ones are way more centralist, kinda like european countries, with some exceptions...
@@BN.ja05 Maybe, but of all of those only Canada didnt end up killing each other over the issue, and that is beacuse they were a UK province. They may still split though...
Colombia was also federal at some point, and Venezuela is still divided in states I think.
Been watching you for awhile! I’m Colombian-American. Never thought you’d post about it, really glad you did.
Comparing two such diverse countries in 24 minutes is an almost impossible task, your mix resembles an "hallaca" of sounds and sights, although you are missing tons of information about both countries, it is an interesting project. Your effort is appreciated. Keep the good work!
Colombia does have universal health care, btw. You just have to be registered in it, unlike Venezuela, where they’ll treat anyone without need for registration.
Yes, it is a socialist paradise.
Qué tal una comparación entre México y Colombia? O México y Perú (que fueron los dos centros de poder durante el imperio español)?
Me gustan ambos!
Me gusto mucho tu video, la historia y costumbres de ambos paises son muy interesantes, saludos desde Colombia
Love this! Would love to see more videos like this.
Please do a video about Antarctica! Is it a country? Does it have its own government?
I already did: ruclips.net/video/laOb31H7ufQ/видео.html
It's a continent with no government
I am Venezuelan and this was such a good video! The rivalry between Colombians and Venezuelans is more so like the rivalry between two siblings, we always argue but we also always end up caring a lot for each other even if we don't want to admit it.
Thank you!
The tejo info was insane, great research
This type of video is really cool to learn more about countries!
As a South African i hear more on Columbia than Venezuela. This was interesting. Its a pity what we mostly hear from this two is crime and corruption. I can relate 😂
As a colombian I'd like to see a video comparing Colombia and Spain, since they share many similarities seldom talked about, like being 2 pretty mountainus countries with an square-ish shaped mainland, their capital cities are also the biggest ones, both of the capital cities are located relatively close to the geographical center of each country at high altitude, they both have 2 different coasts, they both had an anglo superpower separate a strategic part of their territory (Co: Panama Sp: Gibraltar) They both have 5 neighbors (Co: Brazil, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador and Panama, Sp: Andorra, UK, Morocco, Portugal and France) both of them have around 50 million people with sizeable migrant minorities, they both have relatively outspoken and extroverted peoples, both of them are majority catholic countries with 2 different iterations of the Virgin Mary as patron saints (Co: Virgen de Chiquinquirá Sp: Virgen del pilar) and yet in both countries being atheist/agnostic is not rare, in both countries being overly patriotic is looked down upon, both countries have an overly nationalistic neighbor (Co: Venezuela Sp: France) both have a quiet, laid back neighbor (Co: Ecuador Sp: Portugal). Both have good relationships with the powerhouses on each ones' continents/hemisphere (Co: USA Sp: Germany) both have great relationships with nearby countries that don't share a land border (Co: Mexico Sp: Italy) both of them have stereotipically dancy, talkative, hands on and warm cultures, both of them have a long musical tradition and have succesful international artists, both of them have weird national anthems (Spain's anthem doesn't have official lyrics while Colombia's anthem is long af), both countries have beautiful islands and archipelagos with unique flora and fauna, both countries had one major dictator during the 20th Century (Co: Rojas Pinilla, Sp: Franco) both countries are currently ruled by a relatively leftist head of govt (Co: Petro Sp: Sánchez) they both have 2 major separatist movements (Co: Antioquia and the Caribbean region Sp: Catalonia and the Basque country),they both are part of continental trading blocks (Co: PA Sp: EU), they both have issues with drug trafficking, they both have issues with migrants (Co: Venezuelans Sp: africans), they both love cheese, fruits and flowers, they both have a lot of mining but little petroleum unlike some of their neighbors, they both have a hip, flashy, trendy city as the 2nd biggest city (Co: Medellín Sp: Barcelona) they both have a diverse variety of spanish language accents, they both have certain traditions brought from Africa, both of their highest mountains are close to the sea and aren't a part of their largest mountain systems (Co: Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta independent from the Andes and Sp: mount Teide independent from the central system) they both have deserts, they both have several mountain chains, they both have territorial disputes with nearby countries (Co: Nicaragua Sp: Morocco), they both are kinda indifferent towards the largest country on each ones' continent (Co: Brazil Sp: Russia) they both are pretty sunny countries, they both retook islands that the British had taken from them (Co: San Andrés Sp: Menorca) they both have a great work/life balance, they both are family oriented, they both like to converse after having a meal, they both have their population unevenly distributed (Co: Andes and caribbean coast Sp: Madrid and the coasts) they both have pretty rainy areas on the northwestern region (Co: Chocó, Sp: Galicia), they both have a love/hate relationship with a neighbor (Co: Venezuela Sp: France) they both fought along and against dictatorial war generals (Co: Bolívar, Sp: Bonaparte), they both received help from the British to achieve independence, they both were united with their current neighbors temporarily (Gran Colombia and Iberian Union), they both have football as their main sport although they tend to do better on other disciplines, they both have relatively loud and amicable peoples, they both received migrants from the middle east, they both support palestine without being anti-israel, they both are located near US enemies (Co: Venezuela Sp: algeria) they both have several political parties, they both allow same-sex marriage, they both have child and pet friendly cultures, they both love to eat rice dishes more than their neighbors, both countries have popular pork dishes and several soup recipes, they both grow and export bananas, and last but not least Shakira lived in and loved both countries.
I am Colombian too, and I love your comment (I'm going to steal it).
Always I thought than Colombia is the Spain of America for some reason. But you give it to the floor!
Also, I want to add than both countries have a big possibility of balcanization.
@@OO-vo7vv Please, spread the word.
I'm tired of reading people on the internet being oblivious about the similarities between Spain and Colombia, especially those who think Hispanic countries in the Americas do not resemble Spain just because we aren't wHItE majority countries, when we were once Spain, not just colonies like those of France or Britain.
Respeto mucho el esfuerzo de tu comentario, es más aprendí muchos datos que no conocía sobre ambos países; pero siento que las correspondencias son como la pareidolia: el que quiere buscar semejanzas las encuentra. Es como buscar las cosas en común entre Colombia y Sudafrica: bajo la óptica de que comparten la frontera con dos oceános, su historia bélica a finales del siglo XX o que ambos tienen decenas de lenguas autóctonas, parecieran países hermanos. Comentarios también como que Colombia es la España de América no sé si son los más adecuados, es como si esa categoría de ser "casi como un país europeo" para Colombia fuera alguna especie de reconocimiento, solo son dos lugares geográficos con bagage histórico muy diferente, es más con una carga colonial y eurocéntrica de uno sobre otro que aún no se borra y tal vez de ahí provienen las similitudes de idioma, religión, política, etc.
Amén@@BN.ja05
@@natalianoe09 Es cierto que algunas de las semejanzas que enumeré son tan superficiales o generales que Colombia no solo las comparte con España, sino con muchos otros países si uno se pone a pensar durante el tiempo suficiente; pero mi intención no fue la de decir que Colombia es la España de América o viceversa, sino anotar características de ambos países que me parecen similares sin mayores pretensiones, tampoco fue mi objetivo hacerle ver al lector que el hecho de que Colombia comparta características con un país europeo la hace más europea y, de alguna manera, "mejor" que sí no las tuviera o "mejor" que otros países hispanoamericanos que quizás construyeron sociedades divergentes de las que existieron en los virreinatos y que aparentemente comparten menos características con la España actual, de los que esta, para mi, sí comparte con Colombia y que no me parece que sean meras coincidencias o conjeturas, aunque sí son apreciaciones subjetivas.
I'm a Colombian who lives in Bogotá, when You come I would be glad to help you move around, I have followed you for some time and I'm so happy you're talking about my, Country
Hi! Just wanted to let you know that my parents are both from Colombia and this video definitely has many things I can relate to!
Actually, my favorite fact is that my mom was born the first year that women could vote in presidential elections, the suffrage being extended by military dictator Rojas Pinilla; Colombia has never had a military dictator or any interruption in their four-year elections ever since then. (Kind of like Senegal’s record with democracy.)
Siempre nos quitan territorio, pero eso no importa porque nosotros sabemos cual es la extensión real de nuestro territorio.
Viva Venezuela!!
Well as a Venezuelan who lived in Colombia... this is a surprise. Havent seen it yet but thanks for covering both countries!!!
As a Venezuelan geographer living in the US, thank you so much for making this video… ! 🇻🇪🙏
Happy belated thanksgiving and I’m thankful of your videos
Same to you. I am thankful for you as well.
As a Colombian I can say that crime rates have risen since the Venezuelan migration started to increase, however I do get wy they need to come since Colombians also migrated there in the past due to war and desperation.
Yeah, with mass immigration there always comes good honest people as well as criminals looking for bigger people to take from
Venezuelans created Colombia so, you owe them historically anyway.
Well… When colombians migrated to Venezuela in the 70’s and 80’s things like “paseo millonario”, drug dealing and drugs in general started to appear dramatically in Venezuela. So you guys are not the best example of a quiet society.
@@beartutor3377jajajaja 😂, la mayor estupidez que he leído. Qué van a crear algo!!!! Bastó que una horda de criminales con ideas de extrema izquierda les arrebataran todo; 10 millones de venezolanos prefirieron salir a mendigar que luchar por su territorio. Primero tengan dignidad y luego si comenten...
@@santiagonavarro6111compara gramos con kilos: la tal divulgada migración colombiana hacia Venezuela en general fue provechosa porque los colombianos iban a TRABAJAR... mientras que la mayoría de venezolanos que han llegado a Colombia, Perú, Chile y ahora EE.UU. ha sido a robar y establecer verdaderas empresas criminales. Toda una generación criada en un país de gobierno tan patético como el chavismo dió como fruto una generación criminal.
VIVA VENEZUELA
🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪
Thanks for doing this video Mr. Beat! I’m a first generation Colombian-American and always love when someone can educate others on my birth nation.
Great video. I'm truly amazed by how thoroughly your research was. Thanks so much!
My only issue is *really* small and it comes down to how you often skip the tílde when pronouncing names or words that have it. Specially with Bolívar's name which quite frankly (and no offense of course) sounded jarring throughout the video.
It's worth explaining that the tílde is there to help figure out the accent in words or names. If you see the tilde, then the emphasis on that word will only be in that vowel.
Like Zenú, you pronounced it as if the tilde was in the e and not the u. You really will only find tíldes in vowels, so as you get familiar with Spanish, it gets easier to figure how to pronounce words which have tíldes.
In the case of Bolívar, you pronounced his last name as if the tílde was written in the a and not the i. Whenever you said it, I could only picture it like this: Bolivár.
Also another small correction: Muisca is pronounced like
Moo IS (basically the same as English but sorta like if you were starting a question) ca ( *Ca* lifornia, *Ca* milo, *Ca* ca) you get the idea.
Colombia, Mi Encanto!!!!
Un país maravilloso
Muchas gracias por querer a mi pais Colombia 🇨🇴
Mirabel is Colombia Isabela is Venezuela
@@vernicejillmagsino9603 well in my series, Colombia is Camilo and Venezuela is Mirabel
oh, and Ecuador is Dolores and Panama is technically Luisa due to being Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador’s little sister
But Colombia and Venezuela are siblings regardless
Loving the bisexual lighting, Mr. Beat!!
Hey man! I’m from Colombia. Thanks for the video 😊 love your content!
Can you please do a video comparing Massachusetts and Montana?
Economic correction - Venezuela was the richest country in S.America but the decline started happening in 1978-2001, the year 2000 saw major growth after decades of slowdown, Chavez came to power in 1999. So Chavez actually handled the economy pretty well. But of course that might not suit the soft propoganda that americans push.

Hausmann, Ricardo and Francisco R. Rodríguez, eds. Venezuela Before Chávez: Anatomy of an Economic Collapse. Penn State University Press, 2013.
Chávez destroyed the Venezuelan economy almost from the moment he arrived.
He tremendously affected PDVSA's independence and productivity by exchanging its workers for his activists. He increased the debt, expropriated companies that in the short term were looted and closed down, price controls and his situation led to more than double-digit inflation in a time of prosperity. Worse already at the end of his term: high inflation, the country close to default, falling oil prices and huge public spending.
You are lying lol
13:38 Venezuela became the poorest nation in South America because of communism
- from a Cuban who went through the same thing
My dad told me that Venezuela in the 70s was almost a superpower xdxddd
As a colombian I love both countries so far even their relations are a bit unstable but I love Venezuela so far aswel and I wish they be able to fix their problems, specially economic one 🇨🇴♥️🇻🇪
Buen video, muy informativo, gracias
