Seriously 😂
Yes
The face at "they just look at each other angrily across a fence" was iconic

Its kinda true
1:44 Ballet for Russia is actually very accurate. Peter the Great created a new Russia which rivaled the society of the West with magnificent courts and palaces. His vision was to challenge the west. Classical ballet entered the realm of Russia not as entertainment but as a "standard of physical comportment to be emulated and internalized - an idealized way of behaving." The aim was not to entertain the masses of Russians, but to cultivate new Russian people.
K shakespear
They aren't known for it though... So it's not accurate. The question is what is it KNOWN for?
Russia is actually known for ballet ots probably the most notable thing about the country except for communism of course@@leeyenherngcalebpeircess6121
The Japan year 5 thing is what is called "Nengo", which divides eras by which emperor was/is on the throne. Recently, in 2019, the previous emperor retired and the new one was enthroned, hence 2023 is the 5th year of the "Reiwa" period.
bro just take me to ethiopia i want to go to 2015 again
you will really go back in time. so much poverty
0:50 Jack claims "all of Europe" is covered by Google Street View despite the gaping hole where Germany is.
Belarus too
germany and belarus do have coverage but only in large cities for germany and like 2 streets in minsk there's only 3/4 countries without it in europe (excluding when the google car accidently drove in for a few meters) which are kosovo, moldova, bosnia, and Liechtenstein
@@kirkcatcat I live in the middle of Munich and my house is pixelled out after protests by the occupants (not me), does that count?
@@1258-Eckhart yea blur requests are why google isn’t publishing images anywhere else, i think there’s like 100s of thousands of requests that they would have to manually do the images in cities are also like 14 years old or something
Especially since Apple maps DOES cover it 😂
As an Egyptian. The year one is inaccurate ( 4:49 ). We all live in 2023. The one related to 1444 is more of a Religious thing for Muslims
It is not inaccurate, most people still use the normal calendar but the country recognises this one.
2:20 It's because as you go up, i.e., the altitude increases, the atmosphere gets thinner and thinner and the temperature cools down.
Hey Jack, at 1:56 you showed an American proposal to create a canal through Israel. It should be noted that this was NOT proposed recently. The plan was made in 1963, when US relations with Egypt were quite bad, and there was a possibility that Egypt could block the US its allies from using the Suez Canal. So the US made an alternative idea, with a canal through Israel. But obviously, this never happened.
2:20 Heat does come from the Sun, but you need to take the greenhouse effect into consideration, which traps the heat closer to sea level. The higher you go, the less atmosphere there is, and the less greenhouse effect there is. The area behind the Himalayan mountain range is the Tibetan plateau, which is also at a higher altitude. Also, temperature is affected by air currents, especially coming from the sea (water temperature plays a role in regulating air temperature), and those are blocked by big mountains. 4:33 To clarify, pretty much all countries do use the Gregorian calendar (the one that says we're in 2023), because it's useful for international communication and coordination, but in some countries, it's used alongside a traditional or religious calendar. Which makes sense, of course, since the Gregorian calendar is itself a traditional/religious calendar in Europe. The Japanese calendar works by indicating who the current emperor is, and what year of his rule we are in. Currently, we are in Reiwa 5. World War 2 ended in Showa 20. The year 2000 corresponds to Heisei 12, and so on.
You said you'd butcher the Finnish pronounciation and you absolutely delivered that promise 😂
yup he did
yea
but still, Suomi mainittu! Torille!
@@chizzicle wooo
At least he knew what was coming
As a Finnish person, I cried when Jack pronounced the UK in Finnish
Jep😭😭
"Jidjastint Kunnusgaskuntta" :D
Noija, rusi ja jidijatian kunungaskunta
You guys have such a nice sounding name for your own country! Why did we decide to call it Finland? (I'm Dutch, even over here it's Finland)
bruh

Hello Jack. For half a year, I was unable to express how much you taught me geography and how much you entertained me. Thank you very much for that.
Amazing video Jack! Keep up the great work! ❤
would love to see a whole video centered around the game you played at the end!! that was a lot of fun to watch and try and guess along
the title could be ''Can I Connect Countries Of The World?''
That quiz at the end is really cool! You should do a video trying lots of them
Can we all take a moment to appriciate the fact that Jack never runs out of video titles?
7:31 as a Finn I have to say that you made all countries drunk expect Suomi, my country. I absolutely loved how you said United Kingdom 😂
Finnish is such a weird language, you are supposed to be a Nordic country, yet you sound nothing like the rest of us 😛
@@GummieI yeah I can confirm that I don’t even speak my own language
Honestly it's quite weird how different the word for the UK is compared to most other countries
It's always nice when Jack uploads!
3:04 The Korean War, 1950 - Current. Only an armistice agreement was signed, not a full on peace deal. The Korean War is technically still ongoing.
?
This channel isnt just getting me an A+ in geography, but also vocabulary
Love the videos, Jack. Keep it up!!!
Its always a great day when jack uploads
This series improves my geography and my vocabulary at the same time. hearing jack pronounce finnish countrys is just a masterpiece.
Love how both I and my son have come across your videos. He mentioned that he knew you when we saw you on my recomended videos and I saw you in his recommended videos!
Jack, keep up the awesome videos man!
i love ur vids jack! they’ve inspired me to become good at geography myself!
I love these videos! Great Job jack
Jack always makes my day whenever he uploads! ❤
1:53 armenia is known for mount ararat(one of the country's national symbols), even though the mountain actually lies in turkey
03:28 Actually, they're not at war anymore! The peace treaty was signed in 2018
I made a video about the Korean War. If you want to give it a watch I'd appreciate it
hearing jack pronounce finnish countrys is just a masterpiece
Most of this was covered by drew durnil too 😂
He will actually never run out of words, he’ll just make new ones.
I hope this series never ends ❤🌏
Yay! Another "Maps I find" videos! Great Jack!! Keep up your work!
That was amazing, Jack and everyone who helped.
4:45 Here's an explanation for some of the years on the map. In East Asia (starting with China), years were set to be the X year of the reign of the Emperor. So people would say it's the 3rd year of the reign of Kangxi, then the 4th year of the reign of Kangxi. And when he died it would be the 1st year of Yongzheng, then 2nd year, etc. Japan uses the same system revolving around their own emperor so it's the X year of Reiwa. The ROC decided to still use this system but with a lack of an emperor they just slapped it onto year 1912 as the 1st year. Thus with the 1911-1912 revolution, the ROC notates years as the 1st year of the republic, 2nd year of the republic, etc. Similarly North Korea adapts the same system but it's year 1 is the year of the birth of Kim Il-sung (which also happens to be 1912). Also, 1444 looks like the year according to the Islamic Calendar staring with something to do with Muhamed's pilgrimage.
Jack is never gonna run out of synonyms of amazing
Jack I am subscribed to all of your channels and I think that you are the best person
I love these videos
Jack saying how good the street view is: Also jack: *ignores the fact Canada is non existent*

The reason why the Himalayan Mountains block off the heat even though it's "coming from the sun which is way higher" is, that the distance a sun ray travels through the atmosphere has an impact on the strength at which it hits the ground. Since the sun only "moves" between 23.5°N and 23.5°S over the course of a year, that part of the earth (called the tropical zone) gets heated the most. Now, hot air always "wants" to move to colder air due to thermodynamics, therefore the hot air masses from the tropical zone form huge wind-streams (called "trade winds") that reach outwards, taking the heat (as well as some water molecules from the Indian Ocean) with them as they go. Upon "crashing into" the Himalayan Mountain Range, they are forced to rise up because there is no other place to go, so they ascend and cool off, eventually raining off by the foot of the mountain. PS: These trade winds are the reason for the Indian Monsoon
Jacks favorite phrase is : enhance enhance 😂
Hey Jack I have a Geography assesment on Asia and i was wondering if your next vid could be about Asia specifically China Please
Definitely my favourite JSAG series
6:34 i from there
Love these videos.
Despite Cyprus being a tree (cypress), it has 4% urban tree cover.
The Himalayan weather wall isn't stopping the sun getting to Tibet, it's more than Tibet is like 12,000ft in the air. There's no 'wall' as such, just a massive difference in altitude. It's like comparing the temperature on Bournemouth beach and the top of Ben Nevis, but like more than twice as extreme. The mountains do stop the warmer air a bit but it doesn't affect it that much. If Tibet and Nepal were at a similar altitude, it would be a bit cooler due to the 'shielding', but not by that much. Also Japan uses the year of the era that they're in, it's Reiwa 5 (the 5th year of the Reiwa era), which started in April 2019. It'd be like us saying it's currently "Windsor 113", with George V becoming the first Windsor monarch in 1910.
play that game you did at the end again for a separate video!
Jokes aside, Jack is really a nice and funny man with lots of happiness and good thoughts to share with us through his videos!❤❤
0:46 "All Europe at this point" Germany: Am I a Joke to you?
Jack really needs to play more of that map game on the channel!
YESSS ANOTHER VIDEO
Jack, we need more GeoGuessr on the channel.
2:21 Low pressure: Warm air rises It cools It condenses It precipitates High air pressure: Warm air sinks. The mountains block the air rising and sinking from colliding with each other (at least that’s what I remember from class)
These are great maps
7:46 I could only understand "Suomi" 😂
Me when I already saw all these maps from Drew Durnil 😭
can't wait for maps i find upstandingness
2:11 as someone living in delhi, i can confirm that that's absolute bs, it's around 30-35C here
Jacks next maps I find video flags that flabbergasted me
4:44 Japan is in 'Reiwa' since they have 5 major eras (Meiji, Taishō, Shōwa, Heisei, and Reiwa) that correspond to the reign of their emperors. Currently, they're in the 5th year of the Reiwa era hence the 'Reiwa 5'.
idk why these videos are so entertaining
They left out the most insane part of the Israel canal plan from 1963! It wasn't JUST that they wanted to make a new Suez, they wanted to string together 540ish nuclear weapons through the desert to make it. Obviously that did not get too too far, but it is quite the interesting topic! You can actually find the declassified memorandum of the original proposal.
This channel made me from knowing almost nothing from geography to nothing a heck ton of geography
4:46 in Japan, when a new emperor ascends to the throne, a new era starts, so the 5 means it’s been 5 years since the current emperor gained their title
San Marino is beautiful, I was there on my school trip in March. Hi from Croatia
A little late but Japan uses an alternate system for calendars that follows the current era. The Reiwa era began in 2019 following Emperor Akihito's abdication and the end of the Heisei era. Because of that, it's currently Reiwa (year) 5.
This is truly mesmerizing.
0:58 when you look in europe the only countries that aren't in are Bosnia and Herzegovina and Germany. And it's kinda funny when you look closer to those two countries you can see the gap and it feels weird
1:52 as a macedonian myself, i'm honored to see that Alexander III is put as our most notable thing in our country according to chatgpt
2:36 i saw jacks face just go from smiling and happy to shocked and sad
Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but cultural note on Japan, why that map listed them as considering it "Year 5": the Japanese also name certain years based on the emperor currently in control of the country, this year being the 5th year of the Reiwa era. The previous era was known as the Heisei era, and the one before that was the Showa era. So they do know it's 2023, they just... also name the era something auspicious for the emperor who's currently on the throne. It's like how England just came out of a 70-year long Elizabethan era, and now it's entering a "Charlesian" era.

How Can you still make these you never run out of words?!
Jack finally found a new synonym. At least he’s not naming the map videos the same now😂
I can confirm that Costa Rica is a lot of forest as I visited it exactly a year today
Please talk about Australia more!
jack i love your videos
As a finn 7:31 was the most entertaining 16 seconds of my life
Next title maps I find umm idk
My mum is proud of my geography skills because of jack
In Japan the years are based on the current Emporer, so it is the 5th year of the Reiwa era, which started in 2019 with Emperor Naruhito.
4:49 Everyone: 🧍♂️ Ethiopia: “time to dab”
About the part where many countries have different calendar years - this is because they use entirely different and independent calendar systems. For example, the year 1444 in North Africa and the Middle East is the Islamic Lunar Calendar; the year 112 in North Korea is their own calendar, where year 1 is our 1912 - when their first leader, Kim Il Sung, was born; the year 5783 in Israel is the Hebrew Calendar, which indicates when in the past was the world created. This calendar is usually written in Hebrew letters, each of which signifies a number using the Gematria system (search in Wikipedia to learn more).
I really like that "get from point A to B" game. Hope you play it again.
Where can this game be found? Anyone know?
Jack is running out of words for these videos 😂.
No he never will
this one is really good
1:43 ballet was invented in italy but refined in russia
