Artsakh doesn't exist anymore as of the time this vid is published. 80% of the population fled to Armenia since the start of the current conflict and I guess it will officially be a part of Azerbajan soon.

Thank you for another great video featuring a few regions I’ve already visited, it brings back good memories and breathtaking views I enjoyed there. Commenting on the content, I think the so called Republic of Artsakh no longer exists, so it’s no longer possible that region may join Armenia in future. Switching to the beautiful island of Corsica, I don’t think we can say all Corsicans are French. They are of course French citizens and speak French, but my impression is they consider themselves as separate ethnic group. One thing I remember from my Corsica holiday is very few French flags were present in the public space, but Corsican colours were present everywhere. I don’t think there many people who would like Istria to join Italy, but there are two autonomous regions in Italy that in my opinion could have been included in this video. First - South Tirol (Trentino-Alto Adige in Italian, Südtirol in German) with a significant group of German native speakers. Second - Aosta Valley with two official languages, Italian and French. Another region that probably missing is Alsace, but I’m not aware if there are any people there who would prefer to be part of Germany instead of belonging to France. Finally, apart from Transylvania, Hungarian minorities exists in both Slovakia and Vojvodina, as both were under Hungarian rule up until the Treaty of Trianon in 1920.

I don't see how Hungarian Transylvania would make any sense. The Magyars are a minority in Transylvania, 17% (6% in Romania as a whole). Hungary annexing it would give them a considerable Romanian minority in this scenario, >25% of the nation as whole. The most realistic best scenario for Transilvanian Magyars would be an autonmous Szekelyland within Romania's borders (which is only the region around Harghita and Covasna, not Transylvania as a whole). The idea of union with Hungary creates more problems (for everybody) than it solves.

Is not closely related. The celtic substrate of romance language is the same in Spanish, Galician, Asturian and even Basque has some influence. Galician and Spanish share most of the words of celtic origin and both of then have just a testimonial amount of those celtic words. Also, some of those celtic origin words in Spanish and Galician come from the celtic substrate in French, Occitan or Italian, not particullary from autoctonous celtic words (there were lots of celtic languages in Spain, even within the different tribes they may have different languages). Is like saying Spanish or Galician are semitic languages or closely related with semitic or mixed with it because both languages have lots of loanwords from Arabic.

Extremadura and Portugal have both been Lusitanian throughout history. Furthermore, in the east of Extremadura, there are villages that speak Portuguese. The Portuguese Galician movement is only seeking independence and support from Portugal, similar to Albania's support for Kosovo, not because they want to unite with Portugal. Do not treat the Portuguese like children

**Artsakh was an Armenian land where both Azerbaijanis and Armenians lived, and about Nachijevan, I will say that it is Armenian, which was given to Azerbaijan by the Soviet Union. Artsakh was also given by the Soviet Union as a Soviet union of Azerbaijan. Also, there was an autonomous region of the Armenian Artsakh Soviet Union. Soviet After the collapse of the union, Azerbaijan did not keep the status of an autonomous region for Artsakh. The Armenians of Artsakh wanted to become independent because their rights were violated.**

There is nothing "inevitable" about NI joining the Republic. Until recently (namely Brexit) support for unification had been declining for 10 years, and even at its height it was always a minority position (and still is, despite the right-wing Brexit madness in the UK). A large proportion of Catholics also did not want unification. And even if it did become a majority position you are going to be taking a significant minority of people who feel very strongly that they don't want unification. It's annoying to see blanket statements like "it is inevitable" for issues that are obviously very complex.

Countries with Romance languages as dominant should be reorganized due to the similarity of languages: * Portugal + Galicia (part of today's Spain) [Portuguese and Galician are very similar]; * Spain (without Portugal, Galicia, Catalonia, Valencia, Basque); (alternatively, Portugal + Spain without Catalonia, Valencia, Basque). * countries in South and Central America should join forces; * northern France without Brittany + Wallonia (southern Belgium); * Valencia + Catalonia + Andorra + Occitania + Monaco [Occitan and Catalan languages are similar, so they could form one state; Walloon is a dialect of Catalan; Catalan and Castilian (Spanish) are more different from each other than Portuguese and Spanish; ethnic correction of the border with northern Italy is also needed]; * Northern Italy (with Rome) + San Marino + Corsica + Rhaeto-Roman regions of Switzerland; * Vatican City; * Southern Italy (with Naples) + Sicily; * Sardinia; * Romania; * Brittany [now in France; they use the Celtic language]; * Basque [now in Spain and France; Basque is not even an Indo-European language]; The number of countries in Europe after the reorganization would be one more than at present.

One man's separatism is another's liberation from imperial powers. Practically every country in Africa could be accused of separatism. We arbitrarily draw lines on a map then decide that some are wrong (the entire Balkans, South Sudan, Israel/Palestine etc) but others are absolutely fine (no Kurdistan, no Nagorno-Karabakh, no Somaliland). It's 2024 and we still play the same petty bullshit games pretending there's rules to all of this, when in reality there's just one - might is right.

It might be worth keeping an eye on Norfolk Island in the Pacific. It was semi-autonomous and self-governing until 2016 when Australia imposed a new structure that tightly bound Norfolk Island to Australia. Some of the Islanders are very unhappy with the current situation and are agitating for breaking away from Australia and entering into free association with New Zealand in much the same way that Niue and the Cook Islands operate

Norfolk Island is _fully_ part of Australia, despite false claims by some of the Pitcairner-descended population that Queen Victoria "gave them" the island. It was an external territory of Britain from 1774, and by an Act of the British Parliament became an external territory of Australia in 1914. A limited form of self-governance was granted in 1979, but had to be repealed by the 2010s because of financial mismanagement. Norfolk Island has _always_ been subsidised by the Commonweath (in the range of tens of millions of AUD annually, at present). It can't _afford_ independence, and if NZ wants the burden, well, good luck to them... it would make up for all the dole bludgers they dumped on us.

@@Who-rx5ky I respect your opinion, and I understand that it is the understanding of a lot of the population of Northern Ireland - including some dear friends of mine.

I am an Australian who speaks and teaches the Irish language, with a majority of my ancestors coming from Ireland and (what is now) Northern Ireland.

While the independence movement in Galicia is already small enough; I don't believe there is a single soul in Galicia that is asking to leave Spain and rejoin Portugal.

There is a small error or an oversimplification; Corsica was never sold to France by Genoa. The transition from administration to French rule is a somewhat more complicated matter than a simple buying and selling. To refute this myth, one only needs to read the Treaty of Versailles from 1768: Article 2: The squares and ports occupied by the King's troops will be owned by His Majesty, who will exercise all sovereign rights over them. These squares and ports, along with their associated rights, will serve as a pledge or guarantee with the Republic for the expenses that the King is obligated to incur, both for occupation and preservation of these squares and ports. Article 4: As a consequence, the King commits to maintaining under his authority and dominion all parts of Corsica occupied by his troops until the Republic requests their return to France. The Republic, when making such a request, must be in a position to cover the expenses incurred by the current deployment of troops and their maintenance in Corsica. It is understood that for any sum spent in Corsica after the stipulations of the initial Treaty, only the squares will be held responsible. Additionally, beyond the sovereign occupation of these squares and ports, the Serene Republic will not incur, nor can it incur, any debt or obligation with the King, nor any obligation of compensation."
