The reason the Welsers refered to Venezuela as little Venice is because that is how Americo Vespucci had refered to it in one of his books, he was italian so when he saw the native building huts along and on top of the Maracaibo lake he instantly thought of it and called the area Venezola (Little Venice) which is also where the name Venezuela comes from.

The name Little Venice (Klein Venedig), according to some records, has its origins in the houses the anu and other natives built around the shores of Lake Maracaibo and the Gulf of Venezuela, named in spanish palafitos (stilt houses), supported by long and strong wooded poles to keep them over the water level, there were complete villages with dozens of houses built in this fashion, they also preferred to use canoes to travel between the villages around the area rather than exposing themselves walking around the coast, where wild animals and hostile tribes could attack them. The spanish and italian explorers, many of them seasoned mediterranean merchants, called the area Pequeña Venecia or Venezziola for its likeness to the legendary City of Channels even before arrival of the germans, and that's also the origin of the country name, Venezuela, the Little Venice.

Germany sure did lose a lot of territory in the 1900s but it’s still strong and proud today.

It was called Little Venice because the guy that discovered Venezuela (name comes from small Venice) spent a lot of time in Venice and the native Americans there built houses on stilts in an area on a river estuary that looked like canals.

Most people in germany don't know anything about its colonial past + the genocides in Africa.

6:44 Brazilians, asking people to come to Brazil since 1808.

Venezuela was names after Venice because in 1499, an expedition led by Alonso de Ojeda visited the Venezuelan coast. The stilt houses in the area of Lake Maracaibo reminded the Italian navigator, Amerigo Vespucci, of the city of Venice, Italy, so he named the region Veneziola, or "Little Venice".

This is fascinating.

Too less about German Samoa ... By the way, I visited the formerly German part of Samoa twice, and many Samoans asked me: Where do you come from? When I said: Germany, all of them smiled more than before, and some told me details of German history there, no German has ever heard about. Many (western) Samoans are very proud of their German part of history. It felt like the Kaiser‘s Empire has never gone there. It‘s one of the few really German-friendly places in the world. And that’s although we Germans deported some of their chiefs, didn’t allow them to build traditional high sea ships anymore, didn’t allow them to bury their dead relatives at home like before, accept the Kaiser as their Tupu Sili, their highest king, and many other repressions. They could REALLY forgive. What wonderful people they are! I hope one day they will be re-united with the eastern brothers. They are still under US rule.

Another charttered German Colony was settled in 1850 in Santa Catarina (Brazil) and it was named after its manager Doctor Hermann Bruno Otto Blumenau. So, my ancestors came along with him to Blumenau to start a new life out of Prussia, which became part of the Germany after a while. Till the WWII the main language in Biumenau Town was German and its several dialects. And speak this language from 40's decade was forbidden by The Federal Brazilian Government and my family had got to learn Portuguese liking or not. As consequences of this almost anybody speaks German at all. It's easier to find those which are English speakers instead. I meant, Rio Grande do Sul was the first part of Brazil where Germans have taken place but there were Santa Catarina and Espírito Santo colonies as well. It's to say the least.

2:14 When the europeans arrived in present-day Venezuela, there were a lot of indian's stilt houses(which is actually quite common in the amazon region) and they thought: "hey, that resembles what we see in Venice(Venezia in italian), so let's call this place VENEzuela(which stands for litte venice, just like the name the germans gave to it)" By the way, the country's name was Americo Vespucci's ideia.

They called it “little Venice” because Venezuela’s coast reminded them of the Italian city. That is also the origin of the name Venezuela in Spanish, too, meaning little Venice.

This explains why Chilean military helmets are German

What is the song playing at 5:48?

They called Venezuela "little venice " because in the colony there was a city with houses built on stilts just like venice

It was called little Venice because the Venezuela’s landscape resembles the lagoon-like City of Venice. That’s why Venezuela 🇻🇪 is named like it is. Vene comes from Venezia (Italian)

But Venezuela is a Spanish colonization

Cool

3:03 Nice

The sufix -uela/o in Spanish means "little", for example, a little well (pozo) it's pozuelo, so Venezuela literally means Little Venice in Spanish

14:16 they blamed it on the Germans for attacking first, you know who was the first to defy the colonial neutrality act of 1884? Belgium. then brtiain, France followed suit and South Africa had it's own plans. Germany was forced to defend against the breakers of international law. the Germans only tried attacking after the second week of entaunt assaults

@@collaborisgaming2190 Certainly maybe having America arbitring may complicate things, but having some external country to testify the things may help to avoid scalate the crisis. Also Frace just wanted Alssac-Lorraine back. Maybe offering self-determination to the regions of Alssac-Lorraine, so the French can be no longer obssesed with war with Germany. Also Germany should have search a Alliance with America so if something goes to war, Germany could win easy.

​@@piotrmichalowski3601 Genetic searches? What? What do genetics have to do with anything? Do you have any idea, how many civilizations lived and died out across human history? If genetics mattered, that not a single people in this world would have a claim to the land they are living in today. That just isn't how it works. I am so annoyed by this Polish bickering. You own these lands now. You live there now. No one is trying to take that land back. BUT, Germans have lived there for several hundreds years up until the world wars. Those places have been their homeland. Many are still alive and remember it. You cannot deny them that. One third of every German alive today has relatives who came from those parts of the German empire. Just let it got already. Be glad that Poland never had to compensate all those Germans who lost everything when they were forcefully driven out of their homes, leaving everything behind.
