The real Tragedy with the teaching of of the history of my country Trinidad and Tobago is that iit is usually done from the perspective of Trinidad or Tobago as a part of Trinidad while the history of Tobago is far more diverse and in my opinion far more interesting. I wonder how many of my own countryfolk are even aware of this story.

Man I wished that more European countries had colonies (ofc there still would be massacres and slavery) but most of the America and Africa is covered with Portuguese, Spanish, English, French, and Dutch descendent and culture making a lack of diversity (except in Latin America)

The issue here is that you say Latvians. Courland was formed by the Livonian people, unlike Latvian, Livonian are Finno-Ugric, and used to speak a quite interesting Finnic language, something alike old Estonian, but more Vidilistic.

00: 01: 13 Interesting map of the Dutch Republic. You correctly left out most of the current southern provinces of the Netherlands, but did include Flevoland, which would remain open see for more than 300 years.

Courland was not Latvia or a Latvian state. The Latvians living there - though they were the majority - did not have much of a say and the duke probably didn't speak any Latvian.

Latvia tried one last time with a man from Queens in the New World named George Constanza, but after a brief period of promise it also fell by the wayside.

It's nice to see a genuinely concerned, pragmatic ruler for once, had Jacob been granted a more powerful nation, he could have been a great figure.

I just thought Lativa was a fictional country from Marvel comics. I DIDN'T know they had settled the new world.

Imagine if Sweden didn't annexed Latvia. I know that their empire will not go to far but it will be cool.
