In answer to the Chinese civil war question, no the PRC would flee to Taiwan, the PRC would either be protected in Manchuria or flee to the Soviet Union.

11:30 The reason for that specific border shape is because back when the US was doing that manifest destiny stuff, the British wanted the border in the disputed area of Oregon to go along the Columbia River, which would optimize the beaver gains of the Hudson's Bay Company, but, in order to get more land, the Americans wanted it to keep going as a straight line. Eventually, the British gave in and they settled on the straight line. It appears in this alternate history, Canada got their way with the Columbia River.

7:22 "Jutland" is the Anglezised name for Jylland. Pronounce it in English. The English picked "Jutland" because it's a piece of land that "juts" out of the continent. In reality, Jylland or Jutland originally got its name after the people that resided there, "Jyder" (Old Norse: Jótar, Old English: Ēotas) or in English the "Jutes" (this time pronounced "Joots" as you did at 7:22, confusingly enough). In the early Viking age or before the Viking age (depending on how you define the time range of the age) the Danes and the Jutes were separate "countries" or "chiefdoms" and they were later united under a single king. Earlier before that, many other tribespeoples lived in Jutland too, including the Teuton tribe and the Angles tribe. The Angles would settle in England and the Teutons would later be known for the Teutonic Knights.
@@dannypipewrench533 I don't think we ever pronounce our J's as G's. Heck, I don't even think we have the typical English "G" sound (Jee). We more phonetically consistently pronounce our G's as "guh," similar to the G in "Great" or "Gold" but not like the G in "Germany" or "Genius," considering that the G in those two words are phonetically consistent with words like "Jesus," "Job," "Jet" etc. "Jutland" is an English word, and so it should be pronounced as if it was English, with the English J. If you say "Jylland," which is Danish, you pronounce the J with the typical English Y.

Drew Doggerland is named because of the area of the sea is called Dogger. It’s often referred to as Dogger on the shipping forecasts on BBC radio 4 which use to be a vital source for fisherman knowing the weather around the U.K. waters now it’s just a thing middle class singletons listen to with a glass of wine a ten to midnight on a daily basis. But when sea ground trailers scrap the floor in the Dogger region they regularly find archaeological evidence from bones to cooking/hunting equipment and even bits of houses. Scuba diving is popular in that region because it’s literally like prehistoric towns down there- like in the English Channel with all the WW2 ships and planes. My mates have scuba dived in both Dogger and the English Channel before and it’s like going in a Time Machine
