France celebrating their "independance" from France is the most french thing I've seen in a while.

Answer: Romanians gained the right to work and live anywhere in the EU some time after the country joined the union in 2007. Italy is a popular choice due to the similarities of the languages and popularity of Italian culture in Romania.
Been to Romania, and as a Portuguese i find italian and romanian way more similar than I ever expected. Then again, Romania is the only country in eastern europe which language derives from latin

I was looking for a comment that pointed that out
Fun Fact: In Russia apart from the independence day which was mentioned in the video they also celebrate what they call a
"Unity Day" on November 4th, which is the day they retook Moscow in 1612 from Poland (Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth to be precise)
As a Russian i confirm this.
Explonation is too simple, but kinda true.
Because PLC tried to make Russia third part of Union and make Orthodox Russia catholic one, but they got divided 182 years later.
Yeah, that's weird that it is missing from the chart, especially since they put France celebrating independence from France, so they did not use strict criteria.
Drew you do realise Russia gained independence from the USSR four days earlier than Kazakhstan, right?
Kazakhstan was for four days the entire USSR.
Entire territory of USSR. The government was in Moscow and existed for 10 more days as a country without territories
Technically there was also Kaliningrad for a while.
Russia didn't get independence from the USSR. Moscow has always been a capital of both.
@@azatgaripov2380 Russia DID get their independence from USSR

Pennsylvanian Dutch is the language spoken by the Amish community. It's basically a amalgamation of German, English & some words that they made up on their own. It's called Pennsylvanian Dutch because early Pennsylvanians confused Deutsch for Dutch & it's just stuck from then. There's also a few words that mean different things in German & Pennsylvanian Dutch.

Fun fact: Scotlands National animal is a unicorn. It’s also represented on the British coat of arms, along with the lion.
Notably because in myth it’s able to kill lions. Also funnily English lions in most text is referred to as leopard from the French word because they barely knew what they looked like after Rome for a while there. So both names and terms in heraldry have a weird history
I already knew this,but I like how the unicorn is on so many girl toys.
If you look on the coat of arms the unicorn has a golden collar around its neck with a gold chain being held by the lion.
I just looked it up the chain is free. Could have sworn that the lion was holding it.
@@logannichols5848 it's interesting because the UK royal coat of arms has some grass to which the chain appears to be fixed, but the UK government has a modified coat of arms with a banner replacing the ground and the chain is free. That has to be symbolic.
It's about time the unicorn had a rainbow mane and tail though, I mean come on, diversity.
Nice Polandball with hussar wings in the background.
The independence day, at least for Slovakia and Czech republic, is not about celebrating leaving Czechoslovakia, but about founding of their own states. In Czech republic we also have a day to celebrate creation of Czechoslovakia. This might sound like a small difference, but the feeling are quite different about it. Comparing it for example with independence of USA from UK or Latvia from USSR.
Romanian (the language) and Italian are quite similar, so learning Italian as a native Romanian speaker is quite easy. That is probably one reason why there is so many Romanians in Italy. And Romanians move west in large numbers in general I feel like.
It's because they are both romance languages right?
@@Nightlight16 yep both originate from Latin. And as far as I can tell, they are both quite close to Latin, more so than for example French. Might be mistaken tho.
@Romania Insight Ya, ya, ya. Keep spewing your fairytales
Its because in between those years, Romania joined EU (2009), so many Romanians naturally fled to country with similar language and with better living standard etc. which they couldn’t do in large numbers before joining to EU.
@Romania Insight when they say better living conditions part of that is making more money like you mentioned with the friend being payed more in germany.

WOOOW that was the best video i've seen in a really long time
Drew I'm watching this in summer so it's good to be there
Austria celebrates their independence from the USA, USSR, UK and France. Since these countries occupied Austria and split it up. Frence had Vorarlberg and Tyrol in the West, the US had Salzburg, Upper Austria and a part of Styria, the Brits had Styria, East-Tyrol and Carinthia and finally the USSR had Lower Austria, Burgenland and a little part of Upper Austria. Vienna was split similarly as Berlin was
I always wondered why they occupied Austria
@@Jordaniantrex Austria was split between the four Allied countries after the war, just like Germany. Austria regained independence in 1955.
Hi, German here, I don't really understand why that would warrant an "independence day" though. Those couple messy years of occupation after WW2 don't even come close to enough oppression for that in my opinion as it really was our own fault and it takes a while to establish proper democracies. I'd even find it more understandable if you'd celebrate independence from Germany, even if that were kind of ironic
@@Kath2378 Weil Österreich damit seit 1938 wieder Souverän wurde, seit dem Anschluss an NS-Deutschland.

Also Sweden never gave Finland independence. Russia annexed the eastern part of sweden (Today Finland) in the finnish war, which in turn developed into the finnish nation which got it's independence from the Russian Empire (correct me if I'm wrong).
@@unclear6055 Finland was a junior partner of Russia with its own parliament and laws that were semi-independent from Russias. So Finland was technically created by Russia
@@edgarratsep3631 The way I see it Finland never had a unique identity within Sweden, but that idea of a nation started to grow when the region was under Russia.
@@unclear6055 That's pretty much how it was. If i'm not mistaken Finland under Russia also had its own unique currency and had its own army that was allowed TO NOT participate in Russias wars and besides all of that Finnish people had a lot more freedom in comparison to Russias population. Quite a unique country Finland was/is.

Re: Romanians in Italy.
After the admission of Romania in the EU (2007), Romanians flocked to other Eu countries looking for jobs. Obviously, they preferred countries where the language was easier to understand for them, mainly Italy and Spain.

Austrian independence day, coming ahead in 4 days, is inofficially the day where the last occupation forces of the allies from WW2 left the country, while officially it is the day we signed our state treaty / constituation, where we pledged ever-lasting neutrality.
Yeah I also thought that those France/uk/usa ones were probably WW2 occupation. They were considered as a bit of axis and it still isn't clear the circumstances under which austria joined Germany. Did they do it willingly or were they actually occupied? The allies considered the former and divided it just like Germany.
@@leadharsh0616 there is practically no one that doubts, that Austria was not conquered by Nazi-germany but joined willingly.

Ironic
Yeah
Poland and Russia can celebraye from each other. Cool
Russians came back with a vengeance 😈
No, Russia actually gained Independence from Kazakhstan, since Kazakhstan was the last country to leave the USSR
Did he forget about how most of the nations who declared independence from Russia did it from the Russian Empire or one of the White Russian governments during the Russian Civil War? It also shows that most celebrate independence from Imperial/White Russia as well as the USSR, since many were briefly independent during the interwar period until the Soviets did their thing in WW2.

11:35 This is WRONG. Portugal doesn't celebrate independence from Spain. Spain didn't even exist at that time. Portugal's independence was gained from the Kingdom of Leon and Castille. Spain only came to be a country a few centuries later and is the composition of many different Kingdoms (Leon, Castille, Galicia, Navarra, Aragon and Granada).
The date in the graphic is still correct. We restored the Portuguese Monarchy from the Spanish on the 1st of December 1640. We were a country before that, but lots of countries in that graphic were countries too before their last period of non-independence.
@@Obi-WanKannabis incorrect. It was always 2 independent countries, 2 crowns. We had the same person (3) with 2 crowns, but Portugal was NEVER part of Spain. Never. In case you have any doubts left: NEVER.

My guess with the Austrian independence is that Austria was occupied by the allies much in the same way as Germany after WW2. So it would only be logical that they could celebrate independence after the allies pulled out of the country in 1955.

La Bastille was mainly taken down because of its gunpowder and weapons, Actually, it was the first place attacked during the revolution.

Armenia has two independence days:

2) September 21 1991 from the Soviet Union after the fall of the Union.

Portuguese independence from Spain is a bit difficult, as Portugal precedes Spain by almost 4 hundred years. Portugal gained independence from the Kingdom of Leon, a kingdom that eventually joined several others and together they became Spain.
Portugal and Spain shared a dynasty, but Portugal never lost sovereignty (was ruled by the same king, but kingdom, courts and laws were our own). That 1 of December there is when we celebrate the end of that cursed dynasty (that tried to null the Portuguese independency by voiding the agreement reached in the Courts of Tomar in 1581, so in 1640 we revolted and placed another dynasty on the throne), but Portugal was never under Spain rule, just the kings were the same (and when they tried to put us under the Spanish Courts, we sent them packing).
Estonia gained its independence from Russia in 1918 and restored its independence in 1991 from Soviet Russia. (Actually you can even see it on the graph, it has two arrows). Originally Finland and Estonia got their independence at the same time (1917 and 1918 respectively), but Estonia was later occupied by Soviet Russia, then nazi Germany and Soviet Russia again, which ended up lasting half a century.
There is this "city" that I believe is the hardest to get to
First you take a 4hr plane ride to Nikolai (no bathroom) from Anchorage Alaska
Then at top speeds take a 12hr boat ride to Salmon River Alaska with 6 people
