I really don’t understand how he knows so little about Indigenous American groups given that he can probably name some more obscure little countries. And the fact that he’s in Las Vegas now and he said he did a U.S road trip around there with all of the different reservations that are there he never mentions them. Even in this video when he was talking about Europeans not discovering the Americas but bringing all of them together like the Aztecs and Incas weren’t expanding empires themselves. He also says that unifying them is better than having a bunch of small tribes but he’d probably be against a federalised Europe instead of having all those little countries

the reason the map at the beginning is impressive, is because it's wrong, azerbaijan was named after Atropates a persian nobleman, eswatini was named after their 19th century king Mswati II, the Marshall Islands after the 18th century navy officer John Marshall , Uzbekistan after Oz beg Khan the longest reigning khan of the golden horde, Romania from the legendary Romulus, Italy from the legendary Italus, as well as many other that were not counted.

I'd argue against Romania and Italy (and there's a bunch of other legendary founders that appear to have been made up to explain the names rather than vice versa), but Azerbaijan and the Marshall Islands are correct and good points. There really was a khan called Uzbek but offhand I'm not sure if Uzbekistan was named after him (even indirectly). I don't know enough about Eswatini to have an idea one way or another. Georgia likes to _pretend_ it's named after Saint George but it's actually not.

Azores comes from açor, which is the Portuguese name for a bird that was spotted in big flocks when the island was discovered. So it's pretty funny that you mentioned the geese discovered the island, close but wrong bird

I think its really more fair to say that European interests triggered global connections on a much larger scale, rather than "discovering" all the places typically attributed to them (other than all these random archipelagos which truly were European discovered). Even saying that they brought together all those tribes is just... ehh... definitely misses the mark pretty hard. They had all sorts of governance and confederations and the like. And yes, there was some pretty impressive trade routes along the Indian ocean and Indonesia due to monsoons. But it can definitely be said that global connection, trade, and knowledge really kicked up a few notches after the age of exploration suddenly had people going to the most remote and difficult to access parts of the world on the regular.

It also has to be said that long before the European powers were even a twinkle in the eye of Rome, the western half of the Old World already had plenty of contact with the eastern half, so much so that there's one town in Northern Europe with Veitnamese ancestry and there are Roman coinage being found in Japan. The biggest impact truly was the linking of the Far East with Europe via the Americas, but even there one might want to consider possible, albeit uncommon, links between South Americans and Austronesians.

Russia has 49 national parks and 103 nature serves, and the map in the video has just a few of both types. Those are protected nature areas, so do you really need those in the middle of nowhere if civilization isn't threatening them (directly at least)? It makes sense to me to establish them where people live. The map is from 2017, but in 2018 Russia did officially set up 1 national park and 5 nature reserves in Crimea, which actually existed way before the annexation, they just weren't integrated.

"Discover" is such a controversial term because it is obviously from a European perspective, as they were the only ones going out trying to discover places unknown to them at the time. It implies a kind arrogant belief that these places weren't important until they were "discovered" by Europeans. I think that's wrong though, as we still use the word 'discover' in phrases like 'I discover a new band at the weekend', or 'I discovered a great little restaurant'. The personal nature of that discovery is implied, and I think the same can be said of these voyages of discovery.

Who discovered Europe if not Europeans? This map seems sus. For some reason I don't believe that Europeans discovered only islands. Lets for example take like a middle of a dessert or really dense jungles. I don't believe that everywhere except islands there were humans already. Nor that they had documented all of it. If human is on a piece of land it does not mean that he has knowledge about all of it and he knows how big it is. You wouldn't say that some random tribe in a jungle really discovered all of amazon forest. They might discovered a small portion of it. But there is no collective knowledge about whole continent so in fact they did not discovered it. If European went to China they could communicate with local people and I'm pretty sure that he could get a description of land over there. And in that sense this land was discovered by Chinese people. But if European went to Australia I doubt that they could get a description of the whole continent. There surely was a part of the continent that wasn't part of a local knowledge and maybe refereed as "great unknown".

Colonization really distorted the historical view of Native civilization when explorers would document their discoveries. Bovine diseases resulting from animal husbandry were exported to the New World such as smallpox. Nine out of ten Natives died upon the initial spread of all of these diseases. Just imagine if that where to happen now, our civilization would struggle to maintain our civil services and trade. Think about nine people you know, they are dead, multiplied over the entire population. When Europeans discovered more Native peoples as they explored further they were discovering civilizations that had completely broken down. It being the fourteenth century obviously germ theory was not a thing, so the Europeans concluded they had discovered a backward and weak people. It would be pretty easy to be conquered if everyone you knew died and your society collapsed, it was truly apocalyptic. For a sports reference the Natives and the Europeans are playing basketball, but all the Native players are removed but one, oh and that last player gets there knees broken before the game, dunking commences. Again these diseases affected the Natives so bad because they did not need animal husbandry in their society, not the scale the Europeans used it. They had no exposure to the animal to human diseases that spread from cows, chickens, or pigs. Some Europeans left their lives from society to integrate into Native society voluntarily, it was actually rare for Natives to do the same. I feel that says something about Native life in that just because Europeans had some more technical advancements, aspects of life were not always better. Its easy to think of Europeans as connecting the world but the truth is there were many players through history helping that outcome. The mongol Empire and the silk road helped connect the world but its not looked at that way cause its not dudes in boats. tl;dr Disease killed 9/10 Native Americans and decimated their societies, causing euros to see Native civilization as weak. This false narrative is continued today.
