9:58 you used Catalonia's flag to talk about an independence referendum in Basque Country (although the same thing happened in Catalonia around the same time, so I understand the source of the confusion). Besides, you said ETA fought a guerrilla war with Spain for "half a decade", when I think you meant "half a century".

How could you miss Corsica, who actually became the first European modern democracy during its short lived independence, and which is still to this day so riddled with a violent independentist movement that it has the highest murder rate per capita in Europe (source : BBC news). 3 out of our 4 representatives at the national legislative chamber of France are from the independentist party. We have our own assembly, a separate tax status from the rest of France, and even Macron is now adopting a politic in favor of more autonomy in order to quench Corsican’s thirst for independence. I love you guys, but that’s a pretty big miss.

I think TLDR have fallen victim to Danish humor. Faroe islands definitely have a real independence movement - and they will definitely achieve it in our lifetime. But a lot of Danish islands and region in Denmark "proper" have joke independence movements. Vendsyssel (the northern part of the Jutland peninsula) had a big joke independence party back in the 90's. The funny part is, that you actually missed the biggest real separatist movement in all of Danish territory: Greenland, which is a very active and extremely interesting situation, that deserves an episode of its own

In the Corsican assembly the two main parties are autonomists (32 seats) and bonapartists (17 seats), the autonomists are not really rooting for independance, the Bonapartists are French patriots, but as well attached to their local culture.

You entirely forgot Corsica and Sardinia. Both regions have had a serious independence movement for decades. While the situation in Sardinia appears to be comparatively calm - with many Sardinians being proud of their region but also of their "Italianness" - situation in Corsica is more unstable. Sicilian indipendence has never been a thing, at least not in the last few decades. Sicily has no viable economy and no competent administrators, it wouldn't survive without money from Rome. Sicilians know that all too well. An independence movement that is fairly in fashion is for the former Borbonic kingdom (the South of Italy, to make it simple) to be reinstated. Many people say that the kingdom was economically viable and that it became poor because of the centralised government in Rome robbing them of money and resources.

Most Serbs in Republika Srpska and Croats in Herzegovina both want outright session from Bosnia and Herzegovina, and, to either join Serbia (or Croatia) respectively, or to become completely independent states. Serbs in BiH are nearing the de-facto realization of this goal, given President Milorad Dodik, the Alliance of Independent Social Democrats, and their parliamentary allies successive efforts to withdraw the territory of Republika Srpska from the Judiciary, Tax Administration, and Military of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s central government. Unlike other independence movements, these efforts in the Balkans not only have a real chance of success, but are also likely to produce “explosive” consequences. I don’t know how you all missed the elephant in the room.

A couple of comments about the Danish separatists. The Danish government and public are not against Faroese independence, but the loss of Danish government fund would devastate the Faroese economy. There is an idea that the Faroes should have an economy that can survive independence, before it is declared. Also, Bornholm independence movements only exits on online lists of independence movements. To say that a majority of Bornholmers wants independence is plainly wrong. There is a Bornholm independence party, but they could not even gain a single seat in the local government. I would not even call Bornholm independence a joke, because not enough people would get it. Edit: I think the reason that he said majority must have been a script mistakes, because he says it later, when he clearly ment a minority. But i would not expect such clear mistakes to become published.

Spanish Socialist Party with President Felipe González at the head changed this policy in order to extend this to his home Andalucía breaking the original format and extending the Autonomus Community format to all territories historical,cultural or artificially created like La Rioja and kinda Murcia or even Cantabria. I am mentioning my homeland Galicia cause we have the electoral results to back it,a strong nationalism since the SXIX century with its own political theory redacted which doesn't have the great majority of other Spanish territories which pretty much lack the characteristics of the three original historical nationalities.Their nationalisms without any kind of real political impact and created from one day to another. If those territories(Asturias,Comunidad Valenciana etc) have a stronger nationalism than Silesia?I wouldn't say as no idea about Silesia's case but really no separatist parties have any kind of success there,I could mention some autonomist movements like Compromis or Foro Asturias but their own origins and murky/debatable with their members often coming from the Socialist Party or the People's Party(PP) so yeah take it how you will what are their true intentions. There is even a political party in O Bierzo/El Bierzo "Partido Berciano" an old disputed territory between Galicia and Castile(even speaking a variant to the Galician language) that also had their own Autonomus yet not Independent agenda,they had nearly no success as well so just a fast nitpick for all of those curious.

The independence movement is not so active at the moment because they gained a lot of autonomy as a side effect of the conflict between the other two regions. But earlier when they tried to suppress the german language the movement was more active. But should Belgium break apart, it could easily be in three parts instead of only two with the german-speaking part seeking unification with either Luxembourg or Germany.

I will now report he parties in the Corsican Assembly, with their respective ideology (according to Wikipedia): - "Femu a Corsica" (32/63 seats): autonomist, corsican nationalist, centrist; - "Les Républicains" and CCB (17/63): unionist, conservative, centre-right; - "Partitu di a Nazione Corsa" (7/63): autonomist, corsican nationalist, centre-left; - "Corsica Libera" (1/63): independentist, corsican nationalist, leftist; - "Core in Fronte" (6/63): independentist, corsican nationalist, far-left; So, you have a majority of 46/63 for the Corsican Nationalists.

Come on, how could you mention Bornholm, Silesia, Bavaria or Sicily and not Galiza? It has a well established identity, autonomy, and and the second biggest party in the local assembly, the Galician Nationalist Bloc, is pro independence.

Commenting on the Belgium situation, one of the parties you mention in the video is called 'Vlaams Belang' and since 1989 there's been a cordon sanitaire established, meaning that no party is ''allowed'' to make a parliament with them, in other words they would need to have a majority themselves to rule. Secondly while N-VA used to have a really outspoken separatist stance it has severely diminished over the years. Flanders separating from Belgium is very unlikely to happen as it stands. Interesting video nonetheless!

There's also the simple matter that most ordinary flemishmen don't actually care *that* much. Because of the cordon sanitaire VB votes are two-fold: genuine separatists, but also protest votes(since nobody will ever work with them, voting for VB makes politicians' lives difficult). The separatist movement mostly exists in politics and not so much in the streets.

True. The main reason the NVA has gotten more votes over the years is because they toned down the separatist talks. There's still a faction within the party that really wants this. But the overall stance on separation has been severely muted in the past decade. It only really flares up on occasion (like the Flemish regional holiday, July 11, or when other regions in Europe try to go for independence). And honestly, I don't think VB was ever really part of the separatist angle. I always thought it was only NVA that really talked about an independent Flanders.

You mentioned Wales, Bornholm and Silesia but not Brittany, The Aaland Islands, Cornwall, Galicia, Northern/Southern Italy split, Bosnia, Corsica and a myriad of other separatist movements. Brittany and Corisca are pretty major omissions and this video makes it seem like the UK is the only one under any threat from Separatism, even you threatening that Wales will go if Scotland go.

About French separatist movements, there's also Corsica, French Polynesia and New Caledonia. Corsica has some history of wanting independance, having even been troubled by terrorism in favour of independance. The French government has, in the past 30 years, made several concessions towards autonomy. And Corsican politics are dominated by pro-independance or autonomist movements. I don't know much about French Polynesia, but they also have a lot of concessions and autonomy. They have their own currency, government and laws. Same goes for New Caledonia, which has also been troubled by violent movements. A recent referendum on independance was lost by the Caledonians, but it was mostly because of ethnic French living there (a crushing majority of natives there want independance). The two latters are oversea but they're still kind of European. And I only covered the most well-known but I think all French overseas territories have an independance movement for themselves. I think Martinique and especially Guadeloupe are very pro-independance. And there's even Brittany (which, to be honest, is a very unlikely independance candidate - especially compared to all the other places I named). So I think this is a very important piece missing in that video.

CORRECTION: the number of Polish citizens who declared Silesian identity in 2011 census was 800 thousand, not 8 million. 8,5 million is roughly the entire population of Silesia, so it would be quite impossible for all of them to declare themselves a separate people and it flying under everyones radar. On a separate note, almost all of those calling themselves Silesians live in Silesian Voivodeship, which is the eastern part of Silesia. Western part, voivodeship of Lower Silesia, is mostly populated with Poles resettled from Lviv area after the end of the 2nd world war, so there is no strong sense of regional identity there.

I think you should have covered Corsica. Independentist and Autonomists entered an alliance making them win big at the legislative elections of 2017 but I'm expecting them to stay as MPs at the elections next week. Additionnally if you count former colonies that are still under European control, there's referendums in Tahiti going on but it's already a Territory and not a Department which means it's lowkey autonomous.

Another minor addition to the UK succession list - Cornwall. Its much less likely to happen, but there has been a significant minority of Cornish separatists for quite some time. They are on the south western 'leg' of England - and a lot of Cornish people will only grudgingly access being 'English' as they have their own cultural identity and customs that are closer to the Celtic culture of Wales, Scotland and Ireland (and even their own language that's nearly extinct due to... you know... the English forcing the matter, as they tend to do). Only reason why succession is unlikely is Cornwall's economy is very small and its population very rural, relying mostly on tourism and fishing, and the UK (aka, English) government isn't willing to pay any attention to them. Not that its stopping the Faroe Islanders.

Worth mentioning (yet another) "United" Kingdom one here - Cornwall. The main Cornish nationalist party, Mebyon Kernow, tends toward autonomy rather than full independence. Support for autonomy generally runs fairly high, but very low for full independence. MK has been around since the 50s, and generally holds 4-6 seats on Cornwall council at any one time. They usually only contest one or two WM seats and usually poll really badly, but do consistently better in council votes, especially in poorer towns like Camborne, Pool and Redruth where few people from England live. I'd say not likely, but as a long running and fairly consistent force in a region with a *very* strong regional identity I think they deserve a mention.

The region you depicted as the Basque Country is only just three out of the seven Basque provinces. While the autonomous Basque region in Spain is indeed only those select three, the entirety of the Basque Country also includes the province Nafarroa within the Spanish border, as well as the three provinces Lapurdi, Zuberoa and Nafarroa Beherea within the French border

I love how in the thumbnail the entire of Belgium just wants to separate from itself

The Silesian movement is concentrated in Upper Silesia, that doesn't claim such a large territory and uses a different (yellow-blue) flag - the Silesian nation that speaks Silesian languages lives in Upper Silesia.

There is no separate Silesian language nor nation, they are just a ethnicity similar to Mazovian, Kujavian or Lesser/Greater Polish. Only separate nation in borders of Poland, are Kashubians- the last people of Pomeranians who in middle ages lived from Southern Jutland to Vistula river

@@kosa9662 I was expecting comments like these, but fortunately you won't change the facts with your far-right Polish nationalist bullshit. And the facts are: there are almost 900k Silesians, around 350k of which declare Silesian as the only nationality they adhere to and their tongue is the Silesian language, which is really different from the Polish language and is considered a separate language not only by many, many experts, but also by the users themselves. Poland is simply not a monolithic country and is also oppressive towards its largest minority.

To include Bornholm's non-existent separatist movement but not Scania's separatist movement is simply ridiculous

You forgot the UK's 4th independence movement on the Orkney islands.

you forgot about the Frisian seperatist movement. Over here in the netherlands a grassroots movement has started to get the province of Friesland their independence. Although this movement has not originated in Friesland, it has garnered wide support throughout the other 11 provinces.

to simply explain the flanders/wallonia issue, its like the father wants a divorce, but the mother wants to stay toghether but the father stays for the child, which is brussels

Brussels is probably one of the biggest reasons why Belgium will never split.

Galician nationalist/separatist here! Nowadays they could talk about Bildu too as it has lots of support and is what the second political force on the Basque country?Even reached Navarra's parliament as well.For the first time on forever there is a second option for Basque nationalism with its own labor union and all.

I'm surprised the Scottish independence vote in 2014 wasn't mentioned?

What about Corsica?? One of the most rebellious regions in Europe for over 2 centuries has again seen violence for months now

You say ‘Irish independence’ but Ireland has been independent from the UK for years now. It’s in Northern Ireland that there are republicans looking to join Ireland.

Of the two you mentioned from Denmark, I'm surprised you didn't mention Freetown Christiania or Greenland. Regardless, pretty good TLDR of some of the seperatist movements around Europe.
