If you are in Morocco, Google won't show the disputed territory "Western Sahara"
Google: Reality can be whatever i want.
On 6:15 Google doesn't show the border as a ukrainian-russian border, it shows it as a border between Ukraine and Autonomous Republic of Crimea (it's official name of Crimea in Ukraine).
Japan can’t call the sea “East Sea” because it in Japan’s west 🤷♂️
China if there's water near their land : "That's probably mine"
1950s : Taiwan is a part of China since ancient time 1960s: Arunachal and Kashmir are part of China since ancient time 2020: South China Sea is a part of China since ancient time 2100: Moon is a part of China since ancient time
India named a whole ocean and no one's complaining 😂😂
I can understand Kashmir but the Chinese claim of Arunachal Pradesh is totally unjustified. The people living there identify themselves as Indian and every part of it is administered by the government of India. I can say so because I live in the adjacent state of Assam.
Your content is amazing, please don't stop anytime soon!
Google are basically like: "Hypocrisy is the safest policy" Edit: Im actually surprised you didnt mention the Palestine and Isreal Map Dispute (Back then in western country Palestine basically didnt exist, while it did in Arab country, but recently google just removed the name Palestine from the picture and just referred them as Gaza and West Bank
Any land or water near China: exists China: is this for me? 👉👈
Japan: Sea of Japan South Korea: East Sea North Korea: Korean East Sea. South Korea: I pretend I didn't heard that bro.
In Finland we call Baltic sea "Itämeri" which literally means East sea, even though it is west of us. This is because we used to be invaded by Sweden for centuries, and from their point of view Baltic sea lies in the east. Then again Estonians call Baltic sea "Läänemeri" which means West sea. Pretty wild, right?
I'm surprised there is no different maps about the Palestinian/isrealy location
Great content as always, showing how territorial claims can be strengthened or weakened by how they are labeled on maps, keep up the great work!
Story: My father is Arabian and mother is Persian. I've grown up in Kuwait where we were made to believe that the Persian Gulf is an Arabian Gulf. I looked like a fool when I moved to Australia the first time as a sponsored student and happened to mention this Arabian Gulf and got laughed at. Wasn't really fun. I personally believe that the Persian Gulf is Persian is a fact as true as the way Iran is Persia.
2:36 All historical documents in the world It is registered and written in the name of the Persian Gulf.
It’s been the Persian gulf for thousand of years. Why should the name suddenly change?
Great video. The Sea of Japan/East Sea conflict is a little odd. Its not strange that Korea calls it East Sea, but demaning that everyone else do is quite unreasonable. In Sweden we call the Baltic Sea Östersjön (which is also the East Sea, or East Lake) because it is to the east of us. But demanding everyone else call it that would be strange.
