It's funny they didn't even survey in the Balkans. I bet it's 80%+ in most of that grey area.
Just correct if I’d cause extreme tyranny (tho I’d require proof) but I’d just bring back Yugoslavia (ideology pending/irrelevant) and to stop Kosovo from being attractive I’d grant it independence and make Ulf Kristersson it’s ruler/day care minister, and also make it acre squared like the US state of Oregon and fill every other square up to a lake
@@dajjukunrama5695pretty sure that’s a bad idea, seeing as after the fall of Yugoslavia there was a war and genocide… so the people defiantly would not get along. There’s already tensions now, especially in Bosnia with the Bosniacs Serbs and Croats which is from the war (and genocide) caused
@@dajjukunrama5695 but why
Funny they didn't survey Grease turkey or Bulgaria either they all called in willingly
They tried to measure it, but the measurement got an error since it showed more than 100% 😅

As a Dane, I'm immensely disappointed that there's no data for my countrymen wanting Scania back. The conservation of wintertime total freeze-overs of Øresund is the main reason we even want to reduce our carbon emissions.
My hypothesis is that the statement "I believe Greenland belongs to us" confused the surveyors because it is legally correct even though it is a different country.
ps. this comment is mostly ironic
do you really want scania tho? i know its a funny gag that swedes dont like scanians and want to just give it to denmark but... i mean i dont like danes like the next swede, but i wouldnt wish even my greatest enemy to have scania
That would be "Skåne" with a Swedish Åå
@@arabiwasabi And Scania would be the English name, and, before that, the Latin name. Skåne is also the Danish name.
Å is the only letter all the Scandinavian languages can agree on. Reasonably, Finnish does not use it.
@@lzbscalle7943 We are planning on a genetic as well as a complete cultural takeover. Ideally with locally grown and sourced Bornholmers (they are outgrowing their island) who would be bred with the local population of Malmö, so as to produce a hideous race of 'Krøllebøllebullar' that will forever reinforce our northern border with a deadly combination of gang violence and smoked herring ice cream. Not to mention an incomprehensible dialect that would almost sound like its own language.

honestly more surprised about Spain for example. Like Sweden I could kind of see Finland historically seen, or also just imperialistic expansion reasons.

I live in Austria but I grew up in South Tyrol/Italy, people here claim that we're Austrian and should still belong to them all the time, even though that's not a widespread view back home... Would have been interesting to see the numbers for Austria.
Same I'm austrian and wanted to see austria's numbers too.
austrian numbers would be interesting, most people I know think at least south Tyrol should be austrian
What do you mean?
Because most South Tyrolians still think of themself as austrian and get pissed if you associate then with italy.
@@queraweed Other than some people in the far right corner (definitely a small percentage of the population), in my 20 years of living there I never met any South Tyrolean who thinks of themselves as being Austrian. I don‘t, none of my friends and family do, it wasn‘t really something that we talked about ever (except in history class). Pretty sure there are some statistics that you could look up there.
Many people don‘t feel very Italian either, but obviously over the past 100 years, lots of Italian things have entered our culture. Culturally speaking, I feel like we‘re somewhere in the middle. National identity is actually a very complex topic for us.
That being said, I truly feel like the myth of us thinking that we should still belong to Austria and wanting to return "home" is being kept alive mostly in Austria itself lol - most people are happy with the status quo
@@Rnbw16 na so many people that go shopping in austria only because they dont want to speak italian even though Bozen would be closer, so many that can speak italian but prefer german(tyrolian for that matter), if you ask for their adress almost everybody says south tyrol not italy.
One of the most watched news segments is from austria ( südtirol heute).
So many students prefer to study in Austria.
The treaty of Trianon really is as hated as that poll makes it out, if not more, in Hungary. Mention it to a Hungarian and they'll start a full on hissy fit, and that thing was over a hundred years ago and their neighbors are also part of the EU these days so even if it was incredibly unfair back then, this isn't back then. This is now, and now it really doesn't matter other than tramsylvania. Also no, they didn't keep the Hungarian majority areas, they kept whatever areas framce felt like letting them keep. The reason they went to war with their neighbors so many times and also agreed to join the germans in ww2 is specifically because on every side they were surrounded by land which was majority hungarians but not in Hungary.
To be fair the big majority Hungarian bit of Romania is surrounded by majority Romanian land on all sides.
😂 he kept showing too
In slovakia there are still a lot of hungarians and so are there in romania.
So lets make an enclave if nothing else.
@@userAndrew5 yeah to be honest the solution to transylvania already exists and has been implemented: the EU. But despite both Hungary and Romania being in the EU, there still are some actual issues like Romania trying to force the Hungarian population in Transylvania to become Romanian and the Hungarian government apparently being the ones paying for some stuff because the Romanian government didn't provide it. But this is also based on what it was like according to my mom when she went there a few times about 20 years ago, I have no idea if and how things have changed since then.
Fun fact:
Belgium literally is legally a Dutch territory. Belgium's independance is conditional as per the Treaty of London 1839. They failed to uphold these conditions, especially article 7. And thus, under international law, are legally a Dutch territory... The problem is though that the treaty is upheld by the British, and they well... "Perfidious Albion" isn't a meme. The Brits genuinely just never uphold any treaties they sign.
sorry for not letting you have Belgium, friend
What nonsense.
Well unfortunately for you, it was not Belgium that didn't uphold that article, so this argument is complete bs.
@@inwalters Mijn broeder, Belgium literally breached article 7 on multiple occasions. The biggest one is attacking and colonizing the Congo. You failed to uphold the conditions, you are according to your own guarantee of independence under international law a Dutch territory XD
Why would anybody want a Belgium?
A little correction, even majority hungarian ethnic places were taken away. Székelyföld and Felvidék in particular. To this day, more than a century after unfairly taking away our lands there is still a sizable hungarian minority in those regions.
The treaty of Trianon wasn't 100% based on ethnic self-determination, although it was a major factor. After WW1 France's goverment wanted to make strong allies in the east in order to stop the spread of communism but also to stop any future war against Germany. So Hungary lost land that was majoritly hungarian because said land was strategically important to France for Romania and Czechoslovakia to be more powerful. Was this fair? No.
Is there anything that Hungary could have done to prevent this? No.
@@vladitnt7576France wasn't comcerned about communism. They were concerned with screwing their enemies and making allies (they failed at the second part, most of those new nations didn't give a shit that France gave them so much extra land)
@@vladitnt7576Yes, its evident it wasnt based on ethnic self determination, that was the window dressing only. They created the little antant so that hungary would be powerless against them. The fact that its unfair is the whole reason hungarians to this day feel the way they do.
@@thorthewolf8801 I dont know about Székelyföld part but as a slovak oh boy I know about Felvidek part. I dont want to argue but people have to realize that slovaks were always living there they didnt magically appeared in 1920. Peace
@@patrikbobek8785 No doubt there were slovaks, and if only those parts that were majority slovak taken away there wouldnt be such a big problem. Lets just think about Kassa and Komárom.
As a Portuguese, I'm also disappointed to not see data for my country. I think a lot of people would say that (at least) Olivença/Olivenza (currently part of Spain) is ours, which technically it should be according to the Congress of Vienna, but it's not a really serious thing now, just like most cases in Europe.
Europeans: “Americans are imperialist!”
Also Europeans: “you see that whole country over there? Well, the entire thing belongs to us and they shouldn’t exist.”
The type of European to say Americans are imperialists would also disagree with European imperialism.
And the type of European to be ok with European imperialism would also be ok with American imperialism.
There are no territorial conflicts between Europeans and Americans so both countries, imperialists and anti-imperialists are more similar to each other than their countrymen with the separate ideological view.
@@greatwolf5372 Ask any European about Gypsies . . . enough said.
In Spain I clrealy see the Gibraltar question even today
In 1878 after the treaty of Berlin, there was some Bulgarian that said that Bulgaria is the only country that borders itself. Some people would say that it's still true. Also BULGARIA ON 3 SEAS!!!11
Yay a non short, I'm here to get those CZcams numbers back up
The Dutch are perfectly fine that Belgium isn't part of the Netherlands anymore.
ps they can have "Brabant" and "Limburg" too.
Edit: ASML is in Brabant, we keep that part, Limburg is still up for grabs (are you listening Belgium, they talk funny just like you guys)
Oh? I rather like Limburg, we’re keeping it 😂😂
Common guys, we take it happily ;)
Am I just being given away here?!
Nah, we just annex Flanders. I live in Brabant and we have more in common with Flanders then with the idiots in the randstad anyway
Better idea: annex flanders and give the Randstad back to the sea. Don't inform the population though before breaking the dikes.
Honestly, if you know anything about the internal politics of Hungary, that 67 percent makes a lot of sense. A lot of Hungarians their still think they got royally screwed after WW2. Also, can you imagine if Turkey tried to recreate the Ottoman empire today? They would have a never ending insurgency, it would be literally impossible to control.
I would assume the Spanish mean Gibraltar when they say neighboring countries are their territory, and they'd be right. It makes no sense for the UK to control that rock.
As a Norwegian I would like to add to this map that we'd like Båhuslen, Herjedalen and Jamtland back.. please?

I’m guessing that Greece and Turkey are high because they both lay claim to Cyprus…..
It is more like Turkey keeping a part of Cyprus occupied, very much like Russia is keeping Transnistria in Moldova occupied. You could argue that Cyprus belongs to Greece but definitely not Turkey.

As a hungarian i think the majority of ppl would say that the territory outside of hungarian that sould belong to us is Transilvania bc 100 years ago that part of the world was really majority. Hungarian but it's not physically connected to the "motherland" it's not like that anymore but there are still a lot of hungarian speaking transilvanians living there (and the government sees them as hungarians giving them voting rights and massive funds)
Transilvania is unfortunately a legitimate claim. I do think that this area should have the unique ability to vote at border states which country they should belong to and after a few decades you could have a really messy border which at least was locally elected.
Ok
Just this year Orban publicly said he didn't recognize transylvania as belonging to Romania.... (he also said Slovakia is a breakaway region).
@@cliffarroyo9554 💀
As a Slovak person with Hungarian ancestry I have to say that I agree with you on Transylvania :D My great grandma came from Transylvania and she only spoke Hungarian and was quite disappointed it went to Romania. I also think the southern oart of Slovakia should belong to Hungary....I honestly don't even like travelling there because everyone speaks Hungarian and when I ask something in Slovak....in my Slovakia....they stare at me as if I was a piece of shit...
Greece makes a lot sense when you consider the Megali Project (basically Greek Manifest Destiny). Along with Spain and their desire for Gibraltar.
Lots of Greeks were genocided in the Early 20th century, but Greeks still form the majority in certain regions, such as Cyprus and Northern Epirus
Gibraltar to Spain makes sense, shy why does spain hold on to Ceuta and Melilla who are likewise
@@henkvandervossen6616 Well gibraltar was annexed in early 1800's from spain. At least Ceuta been spanish/portuguese since 1400's. Same argument could be made about anglo norman islands just off the French coast. Better not open the pandoras box.
To be fair, the Kingdom of Hungary had the same borders from 1000-1921, so it is justifiable that they are admittedly frustrated at Trianon.

As an amateur Historian myself (I have a degree in History, but don't work as an Historian) I have always found it amazing/interesting on how the borders on maps change depending on the outcomes of wars. I'm about to be 50 here in less than a week, therefore I lived thru the latter third of the Cold War (1945 to 1991...46 years). I was born I 1973, and was 18 when the Soviet Union fell. Those Iron Curtain/Warsaw Pact days are still pretty fresh in my memory. But when it all collapsed, I remember quite well how much turmoil there was in those Eastern Block countries and the former Soviet Block countries (the Stans, mostly). Nobody really knew where all the new national boundaries would be drawn. I just recall that as a kid who always had a globe in my bedroom thinking, "Well shit...this old 80s Globe is no longer accurate. Gonna have to get a new one once everything is settled." Of course this is several years before the Internet, and nearly 20 years before Google Maps, so our old Analog versions were still all we had. But anyway, when Yugoslavia broke up into Slovenia, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo, Albania, and North Macedonia, that was kind of a sock to the system because you had all these different ethnic groups living under the same country held together only by the Communist government in Belgrade, I think it was, or was it Sarajevo, I can't remember.
About that thing: The Kanton of Jura once was part of the Canton of Bern. I once went to the capital of the Canton of Jura, in front of the Parlament and played there the inofficialy-official* Bernese Anthem (Bärner Marsch). Not loud, just so that someone next to me could hear that, but still. I did this more as a Joke, I don't genuinely believe Jura has to rejoin the canton of Bern.
*It's used by the Government for some occasions, but it's not constitutionally.

A correction on Turkey: the Entente wanted to carve it up and create a rump state out of Anatolia, gifting the region around Constantinople to Greece and Kurdistan and other Asian areas to Britain and France. The reason why Turkey is the shape it is today is because Ataturk fought back against the occupiers, but relinquished claims on a lot of older Ottoman territories because he correctly assessed that the reason why the Ottomans grew so weak was that they had to support their Asian and African colonies, so he stopped pushing further than the more defensible regions of Anatolia.
Also Turkey claims Cyprus
A big reason is obviously that borders used to be different and many corners used to be part of a different country at some point.
And some people have at least some thought about getting areas back that they lost.
Does less views mean less kebabs?😢
Also, Bolivia wants all of Antofagasta(their former coastal province) back, but all the locals identify as Chilean
Some nutjobs here in Chile also feel the Patagonian desert should be ''taken back'' as if it was ever owned by the Republic(it wasn't), but they are not taken seriously.
toycat needs to get that 1 ninja cooker sale lol
Now you need to ask people if they believe that there are parts of their country that really belong to their neighbors.

I've never met someone in the US that believes Canada really belongs to us. To be fair I guess most people in the UK haven't met someone that believes parts of neighboring countries really belong to them either saying that only 23% of the population feel that way, but from a fellow American that's definitely not a normal centiment.
It would never be worth it if the Canadians came with the deal. They are culturally incompatible with us.
7:18 There is a group of extream nationalist and a small amount of reasonable people who dream of a so called "groot Nederland" where the Netherlands and Flanders become one country. That's probably a large part of the 23%.
I do make that difference between resonable people and extreamist because a small group of extreamists wants a Dutch ethnostate where there are as few other races as possible, of which some want to do it violently. Seeing them and people who just think the Netherland and Flanders would be stronger together would be unfair.
How is it 23% in the UK? Do they think they own Ireland?
No France
As a Bulgarian, we don't claim parts of neighbours, we outright claim the entirety of North Macedonia because, macedonias are practically bulgarian
As a hungarian i must tell that transilvania belongs to hungary
Greece was just skipped and not mentioned. Greeks outside of Greece formed significant minorities, and regional majorities in Euorpean Turkey, Coastal Bulgaria and the Western and Northeastern coasts of Anatolia. This was until the early 20th century and the events collectively known as the Greek genocide. Even today, there are still historically Greek regions with sizable Greek communities outside of Greece, most notably in Cyprus and Northern Epirus
Greece repatriated Greek minoroties and used them to change ethnic composition of Macedonia and Thracia.
the english lads were the guy that drew the borders
Yes, for example beyond Curzon Line Lied 201000 km square of Eastern Poland, which was more than half.
There are two questions:
"Should_ part of a neighbor belong to you?" is just the first. The second is "Are you willing to take military action to change the borders?" Will get a very different answer.
The Eastern border of Poland is not liked by many, many Poles because the USSR took a lot of it... but there's no political will to do anything to change it...
On point. I don't know a single person in Poland, who would be in favour of annexation of new land.
@@janpeszek5897 Which makes russian propaganda about Poland wanting to take part in the partition of Ukraine hilarious.... they just don't understand people who don't want to steal land from other countries.....
Andorra is technically ruled by the clergy in Spain and the French president. France and Spain also flip flop an island every 6 months. So half the time they do actually own a part that's a part of a neighbouring country for the rest of the time.
France also has Monaco, and Italy has the Vatican and San Marino, in all three cases territorial defense is realistically provided by the bigger country, making them more like protectorates.
Austria, Germany and, Switzerland share Dominion over lake Constance, so there is area that belongs to another country, but it's technically also their own.
Germany does the same with the Mosel, which is shared with Luxembourg.
(Like for real, there is absolutely no sentiment that all German speaking areas should be part of one country. That never happened between Germany and Austria... never. XD)
The Polish probably want Kaliningrad, to which I would say, fair.
I'm not quite sure which of the one country that neighbours the UK the UK might want back... can't be the one they are squatting on partially for a century. ;)
Id make kaliniingrad independant. Has too little history in common with Poland as for now. Founded by teutonics on lands not polish. Better be its own entity and anyway its full of russians

As a dutch guy i'm really wondering what parts we should lay claim on. I can see some parts where it would make sence to slightly change the borders but nothing that i would say belongs to the Netherlands. We did shrunk a lot well maybe some of the border dwellers know something i don't.
As an Englishman I firmly believe Canada, Usa, NZ, Oz and Gibraltar all personally belong to me.

Ireland: No data
*ARE YOU SERIOUS???*
Gdańsk/Danzig is a Polish city. It was controlled by Germany only for 125 years.
It is known for being German because Germany relocated most of it's former Polish population after partitions by the end of 18th century and because it's a part of Pomerania region that in fact, was mostly German, but this city and a small part of coastline around it is an exception.
Since it's foundation around 10th century i believe it was always a polish city.
That's not true. Danzig was an important part of the Hanseatic league. The region belonged to Brandenburg until around the 15th century. It then fell to Poland for 300 years, but the city kept most of it's independence like the city states of Hamburg and Bremen in Germany. Another region that is seen as historic German is Silesia. It was settled by Germanic tribes and was part of the Holy Roman Empire. Breslau/Wroclaw had one of the most influential universities in the nineteenth century, and was a big part of the founding history of the German fraternities.
Nice. And thanks for wishing me a bad day. It meant so much man.

11:30 but Gdańsk was not originally German. It was taken by Germans after the partitions. But it historically more Polish than German.
And fun fact Berlin was a Slavic settlement.
The first settlements in Prussia region was by Old Prussians tho
@@anj000 I thought that was really funny when I first found out how a big chunk of Germany was actually slavic originally, they did a really thorough job "getting rid" of those people and settling germans there
@@Vormav777Migration also happens, most people today for example speak indo-european languages, which did not originate in Europe. So saying that some regions where originally something doesn’t make sense, as they were always people before that. Before the germans in south Germany were the celts, and if u go way back there were the neaderthals. Only really important thing is too look who is living there right now. For example it doesn’t make sense for Germany to claim back some regions in western Poland, as the population is mostly polish today.
@@shadow_hunter1004i mean i know quite a few people who still lived in what is modern day poland and were forced to move. it makes quite al lot of sense to claim something that was stolen from you personally
Normandy and Gascony should be part of the UK again, please ask Charles III to declare war and I will offer my services as a soldier of fortune.
By this logic UK is in fact France because it was back in time a colony of France. 😁
@@CapitaineNemo1Not really how that worked. So no, not really.
@@CapitaineNemo1France didn’t really exist at the time etc… Dutchy of Normandy not quite the same thing as France, Norman rule of England nothing to do particularly with the French as such.
France exist since 496 (Clovis became the first king of France).
William the Conqueror's rule is during the 1050's. So in this period of time France did exist; making your point false in some way. @@imperialinquisition6006
@@imperialinquisition6006 France existed it had a throne /title / vassals. But Actually when english kings invaded Gascony it was not to conquer it under the English crown but as their claims to be kings of France. Hence it was a civil war and those terriotories were never english as the english king saw himself king of france
As a Norwegian I'm still holding a grudge against the Danish for stealing our lands during the Kalmar Union. When Norway left that Union Denmark decided to keep Greenland, Iceland and the Faraoe Island which had belonged to Norway before the Union. And also, the danish King gave away other Norwegian territories in Shetland and Orkney. Quite a bit of land that could have belonged Norway. Shetland and Orkey might have been lost at some point anyways but Greenland and Faraoe Island would today be under Norway, and not Denmark (seeing as Iceland has become independent).
Greenland should be a U.S. territory to be honest. The Danes holding onto it when the U.S. offered them cash on two separate occasions makes no sense to me.
@@POCKET-SANDi mean you should take Greenland without asking, what gonna denmak do? Destroy the U.S lol
In these days when Asia is growing in military and economy, american days as the global super power are coming to an end, the dollar is getting weaker and weaker
At least greenland can give alot of resources that can help americans survive the upcoming fall
And help the barbarians living in Greenland and help give them a better life instead of the grass huts they live in now and call houses...
Denmark isn't spending anything on these fools and it shows, people are poor as dirt
I agree with your rant in minute 13 - one of the great tragedies in history is that Henry V died before he could complete the conquest of France.
7:09 - 30% of Germans scare me 😀
Really depends on the phrasing, people close to the borders might have a hard time with the abitrary national divides of "Frisia" not really caring if all of it is Dutch or German but noticing it's more culturally connected to each other than the average of the nations it straddles.
Elsass Loren and Saarland are usually in the same country (be that Germany or France) but haven't been since the popular vote in Saarland.
Austria could have been the leading force in a HREoGN if Prussia wasn't included, Bavaria wasn't sure about joining then either.
People living in Limburg and Rhineland are basically both Dutch and German at same time
@@fionafiona1146Your comment made me wonder, is pan-Germanism not frowned upon as long as it isn't connected to historical pan-Germanist movements? I would've assumed irredentism is a taboo subject in Germany
@@conmereth it's featured in history class and the 1848 revolutionaries were much less frowned upon than political movements following them
The German lyrics to oder to Joy (the European anthem is only instrumental BTW) were meant to that goal as much as the currently skipped stancers of the German anthem.
Naive optimism, fraternal support and an open invitation (like trough the Irish republican constitution, not associated activities) are fine, agitating towards conquest is very bad.
@@fionafiona1146As an franco-german Saarländer, who lives 10 minutes away from Lorraine, I can tell you that we dont really feel connected to Alsace-Lorraine, especially Alsace as they even speak a completely different dialect, an alemanic one, we are closer to Rheinländer.
North Eastern English here, I'd be more than happy if Scotland took us from England.
