Why is Andorra a Country? - History of Andorra in 10 Minutes Andorra for a country so small everyone sure likes to drive fast. Beautiful and friendly country where the official language is Catalan and my Catalan wife says it doesnt seem like another different country. Strangly enough there is an unguarded border with Catalonia and when we were driving the back roads of Andorra we ended up in Os de Civis, Catalonia without realizing we left Andorra. Driving back there is a change of pavement and a small sign that mentions this.\r\n

Could you update the video to include Andorra becoming independent again in 1814? It was very confusing when watching this video to hear that Andorra was annexed by France then hear about World War 1 in the context of an independent country. I had to look up the history on Wikipedia to confirm that Andorra was actually independent again at that time.

personally i think leaders or constitutions (groups of people with declarations) having good virtues having the power and capability to sustain themselves with no interference from their neighbors can function very effectively for the peoples living in such regions---Singapore, Luxembourg, Belgium, HK, Monaco, Macau, etc.

7: 42 Okay but what is the deal with this little landlocked -island- of Spain within France? I care even more so about that little strip of France that lies between the main border and this -island-, is there a large enough population of French people to justify this strip?

Anyone who follows alpine ski racing knows about Andorra, as the FIS World Cup finals have been hosted there twice, 2019 and 2023. I think there have been occasional regular season World Cup Races there in the past, but I can't think of any dates off hand.

Andorra has a history but the only reason it continues to exist in its present form is so that rich spanish and french people can hide some of their money from the taxmen in Spain and France. Many of these people are politicians and their families.

Hiked there in 1975 and camped we had been fruit picking in Norfolk before going there, met up with others from England and it was an adventure of a lifetime. Those were the days

What am I even listening to here: ) It is -utterly and overwhelmingly land-locked-? That makes every other land-locked country also utterly and overwhelmingly land-locked.

That mountainous region between France and Spain held out against the Roman Empire for quite some time. mountains full of rebels aren't easy to conquer. like Afghanistan

Lol, just looked up the condition of immigrating to Andorra. Takes a minimum investment of 400, 000 euro dollars ($432, 000) and only goes higher as you look further into it.

I had no idea there was a town in Spain (Llivia, competely surrounded by France, just to the east of Andorra, until watching this video and then doing some research afterwards.
reply

It is the place mafia such as mexican politicians save the money stolen from the National wealth. This place makes difficult to recover the stolen money of corrupt people.
reply

I am more intrigued by that yellow spot beside it. I looked it up and it really is a tiny speck of Spain surrounded by France. It is where the town of Llivia is.
reply

Andorra: -Napoleon, can you be our co-prince so we're not under total Spanish influence? -
Napoleon: Annex Andorra to France.
Andorra: What? Wait.

While looking at the map of Andorra I noticed the small Spanish enclave of Livia inside the borders of France. What is THAT story?
reply

Good video.
My ancestors were from Andorra, Canaries island and some parts of Madrid.
I-ll love to visit those places

When something bad gets decided in America, most threaten to move to Canada. I have always threatened to move to Andorra.

Charles the Bald was actually Charlemagne's grandson, not his son, although still a Carolingian successor.

Stayed a few days in 2015 while on a bus tour, nothing much to say about it, apart from the duty free!

I went to Andorra in 2001 and loved the people and the general feel of the place. In short I loved it: )
