@Joheg YEs, From Wikipedia: "Several overseas territories and dependencies of various member states are also formally part of the EU (for Spain: the Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla; for Portugal: the Azores and Madeira; for France: Réunion, French Guiana, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Mayotte and Saint Martin) while in other cases territories associated with member states are not part of the EU (for Denmark: Greenland and the Faroe Islands; for the Netherlands: Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten; for France: French Polynesia, Wallis and Futuna or New Caledonia)." Weird, isn't it? For example, Faroe Islands are not a part of the EU, while Réunion is.

El proffesor Probably because the origin of "Latino" doesn't come from "Latin" but from a shortened way of saying "Latinoamericano", named after the region, not the language Latin. Did Iberians properly name the region? Not necessarily but it comes from the region name, not the language. And a lot of the European groups that colonized weren't just Spanish and Portuguese. There is a lot of French and Italian history in the areas too, the Spanish and Portuguese were just the dominant Latin groups. Latino doesn't refer to Latinness it refers to Latin Americans. When the shorthand was translated into English, NO ONE bothered to actually learn what it was referring to so they assumed it meant the language.

"French Guiana is the most prosperous territory in South America" Anybody who I've ever met from French Guiana or who has visited French Guiana know that it is highly underdeveloped and very neglected by France Yes the GDP is shown as high online but that's only because their GDP is counted as part of the rest of France But in terms of roads, infrastructure, transport, agriculture and basic standard of living, France has neglected its overseas departments and in my opinion basically just exploits French Guiana to have their space station

In 1701 it became the 18th century. 1901 to 2000 was the twentieth century. In 2001 it became the 21st century.

You mentioned Curacao, and its status as a constituent country of the kingdom of the Netherlands, but you left out the other 2 of the ABC islands (Aruba and Bonaire). All have the same status. I'm aware of them for multiple reasons, but having a friend from a MMO I play living in Aruba helps. Oddly, I think Curacao is the best known of the ABCs.

Operation Urgent Fury - A two part American invasion of Grenada. The first and most difficult part was finding the island, this took 6 and a half years. The second part, the actual war was only 100 hours (4 days)

Hi General Knowledge! I enjoy the style of your videos, thank you for the work you do! In terms of corrections, 1700s = 18th century (not the 17th; but you probably knew that!), and for checking pronunciations, forvo.com is a great and free website :) Cheers!

In 2004, the U.S. men’s soccer team played a World Cup qualifying match against Grenada in Columbus, Ohio. I went to the game, and as I was headed there, it suddenly occurred to me that I ought to have looked up Grenada’s flag in order to pick out any Grenadan fans. I needn’t have worried. There were a couple thousand of them at the game, and they were all wearing the team uniform. In fact, as I walked from the parking lot to the stadium, I was followed by a double column of Grenadans marching along and singing Grenadan songs. I’ve been to a number of internernational games, and the Grenadan fans were my favorite. They were very friendly and good-natured, especially given that they lost 3-0. Maybe some day I will get to visit Grenada.

General Knowledge, I arrived back here from a side trip to Wikipedia, where I confirmed my long-held pronunciation of #2--guy-AH-nah (Guyana). Your pronunciation, ghee-AH-nah, is the way Guiana is pronounced, which is the way British, Dutch (now Suriname) versions were pronounced, and how the present-day French version is still pronounced. In other words, the pronunciations are different. Suriname's capital, Paramaribo, has the accent on the 3rd. syllable, not #4, per Wikipedia, i.e., par-ah-MAR-ih-boh. 2 syllables in St. Lucia--LOO-shuh, rather than loo-SHE-uh, and its territory is 617 sq. km., rather than 617,000. Trinidad's sister island is toe-BAY-go, rather than toe-BAH-go (Tobago). greh-NAH-dah is in Spain; the island nation is greh-NAY-dah.

that bit about the indians being the largest ethnic group in guyana was intresting. would have never thought. i learned something new. neat.

After slavery was abolished in american states, europeans re-invented slavery under a new label -- they called it 'indentured labour'.Thus shiploads of people from colonial india who were living a miserable life there happened to land in these countries, to work in sugarcane plantations. Today they own these plantations.

Hey, when you illustrate that ESA launches its spacecraft from French Guiana, you cannot use the Space Shuttle! Use Ariane 5 instead! ;-)

Another fact Jamaica was originally owned by the Spanish later the British, also the British colonized the Caribbean coast of Central America and San Andreas (Colombia) some called the Moskito Coast where English is widely spoken, US Virgin Islands first belonged to Denmark, and Poland had some claims on Haiti but didn't colonize it and few Polish descendants can be found in Haiti today.

After slavery was abolished in america, europeans re-invented slavery under a new label -- they called it 'indentured labour' ; this is how so many indians arrived in these countries , half way. across the globe.
