It sad historians dismiss that Washington rode a dodge charger into battle.
😂
Right?!? There's a whole Ken Burns-style documentary about it
get me a hellcat charger, 3 of my homies and a few ARs and we sending the british out of the entire continent
Revisionist historians also dismiss the fact that Napoleon crossed the Alps in his Mclaren
It may not be true in the books, but it will always be true in our hearts!
The crazy thing about Canada's population distribution is that over half of Canada's population lives south of Seattle.
I'm assuming you saw that video about it too?
I believe more Americans live north of the southernmost point of the US-Canadian border than Canadians.
What I find crazy is that some 40% of Canada's population is in 1 province, Ontario. While California is only 9% of the US population
The conditions necessary for fossilization are pretty unusual. It isn't often a suitable cadaver ends up in a suitable environment that is then stable enough that it doesn't get crushed. That's why there are often "fossil beds" where such conditions were widespread.
Like the Jurassic coast, where I'm from.
Well I'm a bit more inland, but I could hop on a train after breakfast, spend a few hours at the beach, and be home in time for lunch
Interesting. Where is Jurassic Coast. Im assuming it has nothing to do with the movies although whenever you hear Jurassic thats what most people think of
@@occheermommy Southwest England
@@wallythewondercorncake8657 ok cool. Thanks.
Noticed you mentioned you live in Mahoning county.
I am a fireman in the township of Austintown. So cool to know that a creator that I have enjoyed for a while lives in the same county and shares the same interest in history as I.
Keep up the good work! Thank you for the wonderful content!
I live in Austintown Twp. My son is on the Fitch soccer team. I grew up in Mineral Ridge.
You know the channel "Decades" he's reacted to before with the 25 weird history facts videos? Well I'm from round the same place as Ethan, who runs that channel, and actually met up with him recently. He moved away like 10 years ago but came back down to do some videos and stuff
Geography King has a series called "Interesting Maps" that I really enjoyed. His whole channel is worth checking out too.
Absolutely! He’s really good
Really appreciated this. I have a suggestion that I am pretty sure will not disappoint you. It‘s called „The biggest mapping mistake of all time“ by Johnny Harris and is about the story of why California used to be mapped wrongly as an island for centuries.
Greetings from Germany, where it is way too late right now to still be up at night.
Johnny Harris is a giant map nerd, he would be an excellent resource to hit up for any number of interesting maps and associated factoids. He also has quite a few videos pertaining to history that would be great to react to.
I love this channel so much. I’ve learned more from this channel in 1 year of watching then I ever did in 6 years of history class in school. I love how you don’t just “react” in your videos but you also add interesting and/or useful information so we learn more. In your original content videos you do videos on less known facts and stories, all your videos are so good. Thank you VTH ❤
A great channel to react to would be geography king, its more focussed on geography specifically and not history but it's still interesting. Same with geography now, which focusses on specific countries as a whole.
I was coming here to suggest that too. You would really like Geography King. It’s a great channel.
Agreed as well!
Yep, came down here to suggest the same :)
Geography king is great, his commentary has way more depth and he doesn't only have maps ripped straight from the top of Reddit lol too many channels do just that
You might enjoy examining interesting maps by "The Geography King". I think Kyle is up to eight episodes so far and he does many other geography videos all map based. He has been obsessed with maps, I believe he said, since he was six.
You and Geography King would be a cool collab. I found you two around the same time during the pandemic, he has a fantastic knowledge of geography, and combined with your knowledge of history some pretty cool content could come from it.
17:20 Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, and the Dallas Fort Worth metro are all in the red. There, that’s like four of the five biggest cities in the us. Really shows how much population is on the coast.
Nice comments. The leaders' background map placing Brazil as "Law" dates it specifically to the period between 2016-18, with Temer. Before him we've got (since redemocratization) no former lawyer president.
So to anyone who is curious, the air traffic control zones are named after the airport where the air traffic control center is. This is usually the largest airport in the zones, which is why airports like Los Angeles have a center and why there isn't a Vegas Center; it's simply the larger airport. However, there are exceptions such as Oakland Center. The busiest airport in that zone is San Francisco, but the center is at Oakland's airport.
Europe is warmer then north america when you compare areas at the same latitude because of the golf stream, which brings in warm water from the golf of mexico.
Awesome to see a portuguese history youtuber having so much sucess, great video Chris!
Also the thing of saying "continent of America" isn't necessarily considering there's 6 continents, in Geography class we learn NA and SA, however it is very common when we refer to both continents to just group them into the "Continent of America" or just the "Americas"
Love your work chris!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
The giraffes having different patterns depending on sub-species blew me away. Seriously. Did not think i would learn that today. Great video.
Something to note about the cattle land; Large swaths of that are where you’ll find your oil pads. Oil companies will try to buy out or lease the land that farmers own. It may not make up a huge % of the cattle land, but probably enough to be worth mentioning.
The "Scandinavian" in Michigan's upper peninsula is actually Finnish which is technically not Scandinavian.
Throughout the midwest you can just look at common surnames among the residents to see evidence for German ancestry. Lots of people with surnames like Schmidt, Meyer, Wagner, Schneider, etc.
Whenever I go into grocery stores and see all the produce... I try to wrap my head around on how much produce there is in the world, in every grocery store.
Crazy to think about.
I so enjoyed this video. Thank you!
6:15 It's also interesting that 90% of the dinosaurs that most people know come from the same place (well, it's a very large area but still one snapshot in time), the Morrison Formation that stretches across the American Midwest. Brachiosaurus, Diplodocus, Allosaurus, all Jurassic dinosaurs from said rock formation.
I think you might really enjoy the Crichton novel, "Dragon's Teeth."
Really cool video! I never thought about the Foothills and the Appalachian mountains together during the time of pangea. Very interesting especially knowing my scotts-irish ancestors went right to the Appalachian mountains when they came to this land. God Bless Everyone!
5:45 Just some extra info on that: the main reason (or at least one of the larger contributing factors) was a mantle plume (hot material ascending and pushing on the crust from below, thus raising it) somewhere in the Pacific. The displaced water had to go somewhere, so for most of the Jurassic and Cretaceous, NA and Europe looked more like archipelagos. Europe more so than NA. Of course there were also no ice caps, so that had an effect, too.
Super interesting! Awesome vid 👍
Should definitely do more videos like this!
As to the large amount of pasturages. Lots of people keep a few cows on their old farms so they can still call it all pasture. And there are a lot of places in the central desert where it takes 100 acres to feed one cow.
Portuguese here - our climate is a bit of an odd subject. According to Koppen's classification, it's divided into two types. In geography class, we learnt that the climate could be divided into 4 types. The northwest (by the sea) is a Mediterranean climate, with ocean influence. The northeast is Mediterranean, with a continental influence (making it closer to Spain), the South is "plain" Mediterranean and the mountainous regions are an "altitude climate". We also have the archipelagos, be it Azores or Madeira, which just add even more to the climate diversity of our country. It's genuinely fascinating.
I seen him at my school. He came for Rachel’s Challenge. I’m glad to see him in person!!! 😊
20:46 My thoughts exact!
My partner is in Portugal and she lives by the coastline. And stays reasonable 70f ish year round or so, and so she never deals with the rest of her countries temps, except for the cold.
And where I'm from in the mid west, its always joked to be as cold as Russia. This really shapes perspection on things.
And it has me realize I need to move further up north cause these heat waves are killing me.
Hey Chris, there is a channel called Canadiana. Their most recent video talks about Canada and the American Civil War. Seeing that the Civil War is something you know a lot about, it would be cool to hear your perspective on the video.
Very cool!
Jay Foreman (Map Men) did a recent video on the convention of north at the top.
11:47 the map is about educational background, so governor probably doesn't count. Having multiple higher educationals does
8:52 Mongols too had a surprisingly sophisticated administrative apparatus.
Starv Harv has a new video out on Bad Translations about the Roman Empire. No spoilers, but "He" is in it. There's also a video he has on He Lore, up until before the Roman Empire video was released, but it includes what "He" has been doing since the Cold War fell to this year, basically Bad Translations about Recent History.
With the UK if you look its in line with Vancouver which does share a very simliar weather. I live in Victoria (right next to it)
Your comment regarding how many continents there are (notwithstanding the fact that Zeeland has just been designated a separate continent to Australia) reminds me that the five rings on the Olympic flag were used to represent the five continents (at least, that was the view in 1896).
That second to last map was probably the most interesting to me. I had no idea growing up in South Florida that my home was on the same longitudinal line as the Sahara desert. I always thought we were north of that. Europe is quite a bit further north than I really realized. Longitudinal positioning effects your climate, but not as much as I previously thought.
Super interesting stuff here.
It's because of the Gulfstream Current. It's quite pronounced. I've talked to more than one yachtsman whose told me you can stick your hand in the water when you're sailing into it and actually feel the water temp rise.
A group of flamingos were recently photographed in Wisconsin on Lake Michigan!
There are currently a bunch of flamingos in Michigan, IIRC. They may have been blown there by recent hurricanes
Interestingly, flamingos were seen in the Midwest and as far north as SE Wisconsin on Lake Michigan a few weeks ago. It’s rumored their flight patterns were disrupted by Hurricane Idalia. Yes, your read that right!
Concerning the Flamingos, there should be one pink pixel at the border of the Netherlands and Germany at the "Zwillbrocker Venn". In this area Flamingos have come to nest for about 40 years now and it is kinda surreal seeing those birds one associates with tropical climate in the rainy gray of western Germany/the eastern Netherlands.
The North American Island map is super interesting to me. I live in abalama, which use to be under the ocean, and my dad has found tons of sand dollar fossils around the central part of the state
I would love to recommend the Fat Electrician since he’s an amazing storyteller, but at the same time it’s not exactly family friendly. His video on America’s strategic cheese reserve is amazing
For the first map, the thing that surprised me was parking lots being absent. I thought they would be large enough to take up their own spot.
Here in South Africa on the east coast at certain times of the year we go north of my town I live in to a small town not known as St. Lucia which is a popular tourist spot because of the massive Lake St. Lucia and we see alot of flamingos, crocodiles and hippos, sometimes even bullsharks
In that case I'd like to recommend battle of Klushino video by HistoryMarche. I think it'd be neat to see you dive a little into Eastern European history 😃
The cow pasture surprised me since the farms here don't have pastures. Only one farm lets their cows out in a series of pastures, the rest of the farms they go from barn to milk house and back to the barn.
7:29 Flamingos can be in Astana, Kazakhstan where i live, they even travel to Russia
Hey Chris love the content keep it up any chance you’ll react to extra history Alexander the Great?
extra history?
Interesting on the first map that the timberlands are broken out between public and private lands but not the grazing areas which I believe is vastly done on public lands in the west.
Fossilization needs some pretty specific circumstances to occur, so you can't find dinosaur fossils everywhere. There's also the issue of landmass going underwater after a couple million years and vice versa. That's why they sometimes find maritime fossils in the mountains.
I live right in an area that has Italian, German, and Irish ancestry and it shows. Town used to have "German" in the name (pre-ww2 of course), there are multiple pubs, and I could not count the amount of italian owned local pizza places
The second largest port of entry was Baltimore. Many German and Eastern European immigrants stayed in the area.
Hey Chris, I was wondering if you keep a list of great history books you’ve read or are reading. Would love some recommendations! I’m a WW2 guy mainly but I’m open to other things too.
It is so fascinating that Europe in general has a warmer climate than say me who lives in Pennsylvania. Even though Europe is roughly 15 degrees more north in longitude. I was taught that this was because of the North Atlantic Drift and that if the icebergs near Greenland continue to melt, it could result in Europe becoming wayy colder. Fascinating nevertheless
It's mainly because of the gulf stream.
0:26 I find it harder to understand history (specifically geopolitical history) without out geography
My favourite world map is the ‘rat distribution map’ where it shows which areas have rats. There is a very clear cut Alberta, since we have rat patrols to keep them out
Go ahead. Make fun of Michigan. I can't wait until Nov. 25th in Ann Arbor. 😂.
Great review as always. Go Blue!!!
I think the leaders background map was just taking into consideration their educational background, so I’m thinking only talking about their degrees.
About the first map: I wonder if "the food we eat" land use refers to the output for domestic consumption or if it encompasses what we export as well. Either way, it's fascinating to analyze.
There’s an interesting video by Atlas Pro titled “How Geography killed a letter” that talks about how the English language lost the letter “thorn.”
Maybe look into the mughal or the mauryan empire if you have the time fascinating how a large subcontinent was effectively conquered and administrated that long ago
20:20 yes, some countries teach a different amount of continents. Some more and some less but I think there are either 6 or 7 continents but in both answers there are two American continents. If you get into it it makes more sense to say Europe and Asia are one continent than it does to say North and South America are one continent.
Spain,I believe is mostly mountains, hence the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plains.
7:25 How could you not know that? Flamingos were in the opening credits of Miami Vice! :)
On the first map, I imagine the tobacco sliver is mostly in kentucky, also the more west you go the more the federal government owns more of the state.
20:32 to add to that, many don’t like that the United States of America, goes by “America”
Saved the wildest for last--that giraffe thing is flipped.
Ocean currents and the North Amercan plane make up the large difference in temperature we see between North America and Europe. Also, Europe is surrounded by water and Water is a great temperature buffer.
Chris, You said you're always looking for suggestions for videos. I would like to suggest the Great Locomotive Chase, which occured during the Civil War. It involved a group of Union soldiers from Ohio, who stole a train deep in the south and tried to escape back north while destroying tracks, bridges, etc. They were based in Tennessee. My maternal Great-great-great grandfather, George D. Wilson, was one of these men, and was finally been awarded the Medal of Honor in the 90's. He was also captured and hung as a spy. There were many MOH winners from this raid, and I believe that these were actually the first MOH to ever be awarded. The sheer audacity of this endeavor is amazing. I'm sure you've heard of it, but I also have some material that my family has accumulated over the years pertaining to the raid. I am currently working with the Pentagon to have the MOH awarded to my mother and her sisters. Thank you for your consideration!
I’ll definitely do something about them. I discussed the story briefly when I visited the graves of the executed raiders (including Wilson) in my video at Chattanooga National Cemetery. Yes they were the first awarded.
Thank you so much for your reply. If you'd like, I'll keep you updated on the MOH presentation. I am to get in touch this coming week with the person in the Pentagon who will arrange everything. My mom is 84, so I'd like for her to receive this for the family before she passes. If there's any way I can assist, please let me know. I have pictures, maps, books, etc. I'd love to contribute to your work. Thank you, Chris.@@VloggingThroughHistory
Just one more thing: I live in Fredericktown, OH, so I am at least in somewhat close proximity. Just FYI.
Are you familiar with Threads from the National Tapestry? They are perhaps a bit long for you to react to, but are very interesting. I would first recommend the one on Lincoln's second inaugural address,
Every time I hear you talk about the part of Ohio you live I wonder how far you are from New Castle, PA. That is where my mom was from. I still have many relatives in the area although not too many since most have moved to Pittsburgh area and out of state. We are primarily Italian (in most cases full Italian ancestry). I know there used to be many people that were Eastern European as well as Syrian in that area as well.
Yeah definitely I have Scottish, Irish, and Welsh from my dad's side and English, German, and Native American from my mom's side.
I think that cattle would also include milk and cheese production.
Should you find it useful for going back a few frames mid videos, tapping comma and period allow you to scrub backwards and forwards by a frame. Instead of rewinding 5 seconds for a still image half a second ago, a few to a dozen key taps will do ya.
We just had flamingo sightings in Wisconsin
How very different land use in the US is compared to that in Canada. In 🇨🇦 only 1.6 percent of land is permanent pastureland, and under a half of one percent is cropland. Meanwhile, 35 percent is dedicated to forestry.
Hey Chris! If you really enjoy these types of map videos, you should really consider checking out Geography King. His videos are great!
I’m from a part of that area where cattle is raised, and in reality the majority is actually sent overseas rather than sold here
According to the department of Agriculture, only 11 percent of beef produced annually is exported. The remainder is eaten domestically.
React to Brazillian states names origins from knowledge
13:40 - These are self reported ancestry groups. There are more English descendants than German, but most English-Americans just call themselves Americans. Or they go with another ancestry group they have/their more recent immigrant ancestor, even if it’s a smaller percentage than their English.
General knowledge 💯 underrated channel
There’s a ton of state parks in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho that are not labeled here
I don't think you understand how the map works.
Without the North Atlantic Drift Ireland's seacoast would be frozen a lot during the winter
off topic most dinosaurs in america is found in hell creek include some of the most famous like tyrannosaurus rex and triceratops and hell creek is something i love to visit
@vloggingthroughhistroy do the Biographics on James Buchanan and Woodrow Wilson
Call me Ezekiel has a few videos on the Opium Wars. He has a good two part series on the Taiping Rebellion. It is a mix of Christian theology, political revolution, and military history. so right up your wheel house.
The flamingos map misses out Flamingo Land in the UK.
4:14 It doesn't surprise me.
I've lived in the midwest all my life. And its just a common sight to see anywhere you go between cities, or just crossing the state.
Endless fields of crops and pastures broken up by small bits of forests and small, drying up villages.
Most of the mid west is "flat" theres plenty of spots where its hilly, like in the Flint Hills of Kansas. But the closer you get to Missouri and can get abit hilly, especially in Missouri next to the Mississipi river where I'm used to traveling. The hills in the residental areas are something else compared to most of the flatlands of Kansas.
And it gets hilly to the west around Colorado and some other parts.
Its funny seeing folks who aren't native to the mid-west just enamored by all the fields of cows and say if we get bored of it.
Of course we do! Its like watching organic paint dry lol!
Much of the midwest near the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers isn't flat, but it isn't mountainous or hilly. It is up one small hill and down a small hill then up the next
Yep, I live in rural-ish Kansas and it doesn't surprise me that much either. Especially how much land is used for sometimes only a few cows. That amount of land on the map is probably mostly empty, since a majority of cow farms I see is like 40% cows and 60% empty. And most of the flatter parts of the Midwest for sure have this. I took a trip to Fargo and all the states Nebraska, Dakotas, and Iowa all had it as well.
Being Romanian it's amazing to see that there was a time when we were part of the same country as England and another time when we were in the same country as Korea or China.
Gonna chalk this up to English not being your first language but same empire isn't the same country
"Country" is a vague word with multiple meanings, often 'sovereign state'.
And the Ottoman Empire too, which puts Romania in the same empire as Sudan and Algeria.
@@robertmiller9735 We were never part of the Ottoman Empire. We were vassals, but not under direct Ottoman administration. We were under Ottoman suzerainty, meaning we could determine our internal affairs, just not our foreign affairs.
@@octavianpopescu4776 Okay. Sounds like a similar deal to what the Koreans got with the Mongols.
"Men-aw-shah" God I love it when non-Wisconsinites try to pronounce Wisconsin city names. All in good fun.
Haha for real. I’m from Neenah so hearing his pronunciation of Menasha was very funny!
Maybe some of the animals in Oceania find flamingos delicious
People in Northern Europe always seem aghast that Americans rely on air conditioning so much. But then I show them the latitude of American cities like New York or Denver or Phoenix and suddenly they get it.
Need to add a pink flamingo dot in Wisconsin now (I’m not kidding)
What does the background of world leaders map say about the UK? I can't quite make out what colour it's meant to be
You should react to fire of learning content. He's very straight forward facts, but does good stuff on various countries, and food.
Idk why but I’m proud of vloggingthroughhistory for reaching 300k plus subs but maybe it’s cause I’ve been here since 200-500subs
Glad you've been along for the ride for so long! Appreciate your support.
Europe is more up north than people imagine because the gulf stream warms the climate of the western part of the continent. So yeah, Portugal directly faces New York lol.
