actually almost every fact told in the video is not useless at all. Without context they are useless and that is how they are portraied in the video but when you compare these individual facts with other related facts you can make conclusions. That is how science and school works mate
I was surprised by the fact that there are more than 20 000 castles here in germany. But them i realised that i'm living basically next to a castle myself and that this castle is pretty small and then i thought that probably most of those castles are so small and then it all made sense again.

The reason Nauru is like that is because of one word, phosphate. Ninety percent of the island is covered with phosphate deposits (because of all the seabirds that stopped there before continuing their crossings) that were mined to the point it's non-arable. This phosphate actually made Nauru the richest country in the 80s, but the industry collapsed in 2002, quickly making them one of the poorest and having to rely on Australia who they made an agreement with to get aid in return for housing Australia's asylum seekers in a detention facility. And because Nauru has an airport that they were forced to build by the Japanese, they can easily get canned goods in. That aside, love how Monaco is so small that a freakin' MARINA makes up a part of the country shape

And because France has Wallis & Futuna, it also means that ironically the nation that became a republic by overthrowing the monarchy...has monarchs. Yeah part of the agreement of becoming a part of France was they get to keep their kings.

So regarding Rhode Island, the first to settle Rhode Island was William Blaxton, who was ALSO the first to settle Boston. He decided to join the Ferdinando Gorges Expedition in 1623. Ferdinando Gorges is the man heavily involved in British colonization of New England, including having a land grant for Maine, but never actually set foot in the Americas. Back to William. The expedition of 1623 was considered a failure and while most of his fellow settlers returned home, he decided to live on the Shawmut Peninsula (now old Boston) alone in 1625. So why did he move? Well this was because he didn't like leaders of the Boston church, so he decided to move south to what is now Cumberland, Rhode Island. The first to settle Rhode Island in 1635, one year before Roger Williams founded the Providence Plantations.
