Why is San Marino a country? - History of San Marino in 12 Minutes
A priest, later known as Saint Marinus, is credited for founding San Marino on September 3, 301 AD. He is believed to have left modern-day Croatia for the Italian city of Rimini and eventually sought refuge in Monte Titano in response to the Diocletianic Persecution. Once in Monte Titano, Marinus built a monastery and intended to remain in the area and live the rest of his life as a hermit. This is what is seen as the founding of both the Republic of San Marino and its capital city of the same name.

I'm from San Marino! Thank you for making a really good video about my country! You did a good job explaining most of his history. Actually I didn't know 15% of the historic facts that you said, so you are clearly more passionate in our history than an actual sammarinese, thank you again for this video!

San Marino is the oldest continuous republic in the whole world. Actually the governmental structure with the general council and two elected heads of state are modelled after the senate and two consuls of the ancient Roman Republic. San Marino, due to its size, holds also quite a few world records. For example it is the smallest country in the world that has won an Olympic medal (actually multiple Olympic medals).

San Marino's history: On 26 June 1944, the British bombed San Marino. On 21 September 1944, San Marino declared war on Germany. On 7 May 1945, General Alfred Jodl signed the German capitulation.
The American ambassador to them should be Dan Marino
It's insane how it's one of the oldest nations in the world that survived over 2000 years mostly alone. Italy and it's past could of easily absorbed it. This nation had a possibility to not see the light of day and become a mostly lost and forgotten nation from the Middle Ages. Now it's known as the country with the worst football team and apart of the UN . If the founder of the Nation saw that it still exists to this day and all other European nations from the time are gone then he shall be proud

Interesting! When I was a teenager( a very long time ago!), I learned about the existence of San Marino while studying maps and travel information about Europe. I love geography and travel, and I took a month-long tour of Western Europe during the summer between my junior and senior years of high school. I was surprised to learn that there were several independent micro states in Europe including San Marino. It definitely has an unusual location by being at a high elevation, landlocked, and completely surrounded by Italy. Undoubtedly, it is likely hard to get to. And of course, being such a tiny country in an isolated area means most people never hear about it in general. We learn something new everyday! What I just learned from watching this video is how and why San Marino exists.

Usually these things are just an accident of history -before 1860 Italy consisted of about 10 independent entities and only 3 have survived unification -Italy, San Marino and the Vatican - Germany consisted of hundreds and only a very few survived German unification at approximately the same time.

Your essay started with a list of three types of countries, one of which was "countries landlocked by their neighbors". Then your first point after giving that list was "Some countries don't fall into any of these categories, like San Marino". San Marino is landlocked by Italy. I don't trust your logic. I'll go read a book thank you very much.
