Yo! Small correction I gotta make:
Nouvelle-Aquitaine is ACTUALLY France’s largest region!
good video
Ah ! your sub from Les landes is now happy
@global.things
There are way more corrections you have to make, for example even simple things like the colours of the german flag you got wrong - it's not black red yellow, it's black red gold!!

Good job, you did great not demeaning any
One important thing guys :
France and Germany are the only countrys to have a bi-national tv channel called Arte.❤
Arte is love ♥ One of the best documentary channels ever. Much love from Germany.

@@goodaymate43nope you didnt understand his sentence
@@aquamedicalruh no no, i did, that’s why i corrected him
Actually, the third colour on the German tricolour is "gold".
That's due to the Lützow Free Corp, a German regiment (mostly composed of students) which fought against France in the Napoleonic Wars.
They wore black uniforms with red trims and gold plated buttons. Their fraternity also arose from a wish to unify the independent German states, poetically expressed in the slogan
"From the *blackness* of servitude, through *bloody* battles, to the *golden* light of freedom."
Cool.
No its yellow. Gold isnt a colour
@@jan_magt_Finnland According to our constitution, The Basic Law ("das Grundgesetz" in German), the official tricolour is "schwarz, rot und gold" (black, red, and gold).
The golden part is only depicted as yellow due to economic reasons, plus yellow is gold and white is silver under European norms of heraldry which used to govern how crests and flags were composed.
(Not so fun) fact: Among German right wing extremists, "black, red, and mustard" is a dog whistle for the intention to (illegally) restore the German monarchy, so we take the official colours, including *gold* , very seriously in Germany.
@@dansattah ah stimmt sorry ich wusste gar nicht das das grund gesetz unsere consitution ist aber macht sinn mit denn ganzen artikeln die da drin sind
@@jan_magt_Finnland Du hast bedingt recht. Das Grundgesetz ist “de jure”nicht unsere Verfassung/Constitution, jedoch übernimmt sie jegliche Verantwortung und Aufgaben einer Verfassung ist somit “de facto” unsere Verfassung.
Der historische Hintergrund ist die Teilung von Ost und West. Im West deutschen Staat trat das Grundgesetz als Übergangs Lösung in Kraft. Denn, eine Verfassung kann nur ein “richtiges” Land haben und das war es ja noch nicht, da Deutschland ja noch geteilt war. Man befürchtete, dass durch das verwenden einen Verfassung man politisch den Anspruch auf den Osten Deutschland verlieren würde (wo btw. Auch die jetzigen polnisch/russische Gebiete dazu zählten).
Nach der wieder vereinigen jedoch, obwohl das Grundgesetz dieses selber festgelegt hatte, wurde jedoch sie nicht durch eine Verfassung ersetzt. Grunde gibt es hier viele, zwei davon sind:
1. Kosten und Aufwand - lohnt sich einfach nicht, da es ihm Grunde kein Unterschied macht…
2. Bei einer Verfassung müsste diese durch ein Volksentscheid beschlossen werden, jedoch wollte man die Ostdeutsche Bevölkerung in die Demokratie intergrieren, bevor man diese über eine neue demokratische Verfassung entscheiden lässt. Jedoch ist dies a.) Nicht wirklich passiert b.) Die politische Stabilität über einen solchen Prozess diskutieren zu können war nie da, da wie man selber merkt alle paar Jahre immer wieder neue Krisen bzw. Wichtige Themen anstehen, die solche Verhandlungen stören würden.
As a German,I can confirm we have the most english speakers.Way more than UK and AmErIcCa

Hello, I am 17 years old. Let me explain to you some points. Palestine is an Arab country in origin. In the past, in 1919, there was a war and Palestine became the destination of all Jews. But when they became numerous in number in Palestine, a group of them was found called the Zionists, which is the corrupt and racist group of Jews. They wanted to make Palestine their country and expel all the Arabs from it, calling it “Israel.” These dreams of the Zionists continued until 1948, when a war broke out between the Arab countries and the Zionists. Unfortunately, the Arabs lost the battle, and then Israel became a bitter reality and is the most criminal country. It does not know what is great or what is small. All it cares about is making all of the Arab lands it can for itself. To achieve that goal, it committed humanitarian massacres, expelled millions of families from their homes, and imprisoned children, women, and the elderly, in addition to young people who spent decades in prisons for dozens of years, with the use of the utmost forms. Unlawful torture, neither legal nor humane, was the fate of everyone who said no to the Zionists to perish, and this Palestinian resistance called “Hamas or the Al-Aqsa Flood” is a natural reaction to those brutal acts and the usurpation of their land. However, Israel did not stop the brutal acts and is now imposing a siege. On the Gaza Strip, which contains 2 million people, this siege includes preventing access to water, electricity, internet, or food to the people of Gaza, and preventing the arrival of any humanitarian aid from any country, in addition to the continuous bombing by Israeli aircraft. After everything you do, you play the victim to gain the sympathy of society. The European who does not know the truth of the matter and uses all means to prevent the arrival of this truth, please review your beliefs after what you have read now and you can be sure of what I said.
Well kinda every teen and kid can basicly speak it, ask a 50 year old and he probaly assumes you made the language up yourself

Grüße aus Frankreich, liebe Nachbarn! 🇨🇵❤🇩🇪 Es lebe die deutsch-französische Freundschaft! 😊
Ich möchte kein Wasser in den Wein schütten, aber die angebliche Freundschaft gab es nur für einige Jahrzehnte nach dem Krieg, weil Deutschland aus ökonomischen Gründen gezwungen war, sich dem Westen, insbesondere den USA, anzuschließen. Deutsche Diplomaten kommunizieren seit einigen Jahren in erstaunlicher Offenheit, dass diese Freundschaft nie ernst gemeint war. Die französischen Diplomaten, die seit Jahrhunderten freundlich tun aber im Hintergrund schon die eigenen Schläge vorbereiten, sehen das sicher ähnlich (siehe 4 Kriege in den letzten 220 Jahren unter maßgeblicher Beteiligung Frankreichs).
Echte Freundschaft gab es hingegen schon immer nur zwischen Deutschland und anderen germanischsprachigen Staaten (Niederlande, Dänemark, Schweden etc.). Vermutlich ist das bei Frankreich so mit anderen romanischsprachigen Ländern wie Spanien oder Italien, falls die Franzosen es sich nicht sogar mit ihren eigenen Verwandten verdorben haben.
Hope we won't ruin our military projects such as EMBT

He really got his French teacher to name the cities 😂
issue is that even the teacher didn't named the town correctly XD ( and no, i don't refer to the accent, but to the fact that he sais "Paris" while pronoucing the S, which is a mistake )

Merci beaucoup!
In time for Global Thing's video! Can't wait to see this whole video!
Here's the background behind why Bremen is so small and has two sections: When the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved in 1806, what had been since 1646 (after earlier privileges of autonomy of 1186) the Free Imperial City of Bremen was not mediatized. Rather being incorporated into the enlarged territory of one of the surrounding monarchies, it was recognized (along with Hamburg) as a sovereign Free Hanseatic City. In 1811, in an effort to enforce Napoleon's Berlin Decree embargoing Britain, the First French Empire had annexed the city-state, but at the Congress of Vienna of 1815, Johann Smidt lobbied successfully to have the city's independence restored as one of the 39 sovereign states within the then new German Confederation.
In 1827, Bremen bought land at the mouth of the Weser from the Kingdom of Hanover, in order to build a new seaport, Bremerhaven. This ensured that Bremen remained Germany's main port of embarkation for emigrants to the Americas, and that it developed as an entrepôt for Germany's late developing colonial trade. After the Germans surrendered in WWII, Bremen became a US-controlled enclave surrounded by the British occupation zone. The reason the Americans wanted Bremen and Bremerhaven is because they needed a support point with a harbor, to allow the unhindered support of US forces in the American occupation zone in southern Germany.
Thank you for calming down on the sound effects
one more info, Germany has won 425 battles in its history, and France 1115 ! Good video !
Queen Elizabeth dancing always gets me💀
Two countries that have a "colourful" history just ask the Spanish, Dutch, Belgians, English, Polish, Russians, Italians, etc.
France and Germany helped those countries by creating the EU

There are no angels in Europe
And what did those countries do to France and Germany ? lmao I really like how people can be one sided this much
French here, huge respect for our German friends and neighbours !
Your probably one of those traitors who would have joined Vincy France
@@familyandfriends3519 I know about Vichy but nothing about Vincy, also my ancestors were in the résistance, so stop making assumptions about people on the internet
The Germans attacked and massacred millions of French people and other nationalities, we must not forget.
The third stripe on the german flag is not yellow, its golden. Its just allowed to print it yellow because printing stuff golden is kind of a struggle. But in its supposed to be a golden stripe.
It's not realy fair comparing French and German cities' population within the city limits as France and Germany have a very different way of defining city limits (they are in general way smaller in France. One should compare metropolitan areas. Then one thing you can notice is that France is really centralized. Our second city, Lyon, has about 2.3 million residents (I have a doubt on this figure as I've always seen something like 1.5 M). Our first, Paris, about 11 million. 1/6 French person live in Paris. In Germany it's 4.7 M for Berlin, then 1.8 M for Hamburg.
But isnt a smaller City something good? I mean often mega Cities like in asia or america just look UGLY…
@@derhobbit5277 It's not really about that, he just meant that the administrative limits are small, but it has nothing to do with the actual size of the urban area. The urban area is what people generally associate with the actual size of a city, and in France there's a particular disconnection between the size of the administrative limits and the urban areas. That's just a cultural habit I guess. It doesn't mean the city is smaller or bigger, it just means what the mayor controls is smaller.
@@xenotypos I couldn't phrase it better
So we should count the Rhine-Ruhr area with 14 million people in germany as well then?
@@Luca-hb5xs This depends on the definition used (urban vs metropolitan area). One (involving the continuously built up area) is more restrictive than the other (involving the portion of the population working in one central built up area if I'm not mistaken).
Using one definition the Rhine-Ruhr area is one element, using another it's several cities. I've never been there nor did I do deep research about this particular area.
I love both, from Italy!

We call them Boches since the XIXth Century because German people were often refered as Alboches people, an expression that would be described as a stubborn person, this word has been used during WW1 and WW2 propaganda against the Germans.
@@Kagarine54is stubborn a bad thing?
@@pommes0078 On itself, not really, but the way the French used it was definitely pejorative. Stubborn like a child that doesn't want to change its opinion for exempe, but to be very frank, everyone forgot about the actually meaning of that word, for us it's just that old vintage word that our ancestors used to describe the germans and we use it back as jokes

Don't, it's really not worth it ^^
Well, don't listen to them, they try to scare you, French people are known to complain a lot about their own country haha
If you like it, try it, it will be worth the travel.
French are absolutely not mean in general and it's always great to live around there, only those who didn't travel around the world don't know about the luck they have to live in France or in Europe in general
Also, never had any problem with French emergencies and they always took good care of my foreign wife or myself, but it is true that you have to be patient for "less urgent stuff"

That call you used for the eagle...is the call of a red-tailed hawk. Hollywood always uses that for the bald eagle because they don't actually sound that menacing. Officially the French Fifth Republic doesn't have a national emblem according to its current constitution besides the tricolor flag (the coat of arms used on French passports is the diplomatic emblem of France and is unofficial), so the rooster isn't its official national animal but it's still important to the French people. Here's why: The Gallic Rooster decorated French flags during the Revolution. It represents the French people because of the play on words of the Latin gallus meaning Gaul and gallus meaning rooster.
The rooster has been used as an ornament on church bell towers in France since the early Middle Ages, but at that time it was probably used to symbolize vigilance as roosters are known to crow at the expectation of the sunrise. The Gallic Rooster has been used for centuries by folk artists as a decorative motif on ceramics or carved and veneered wooden furniture. The rooster played an important role as the revolutionary symbol, but it would become an official symbol under the July Monarchy and the Second Republic when it was seen on the pole of regiments’ flags. In 1830, the Gallic Rooster replaced the fleur-de-lis as the national emblem, and it was again discarded by Napoleon III.
Have you seen rooster fight, they are terrifiant
