The 12 New Countries That Might Exist Soon
video description
All through the 50's, 60's and 70's MILLIONS of people from southern Spain migrated to the north drastically altering the ethnic composition of those areas and more specifically Catalonia and Euskadi. In Catalonia we are talking of about 2 million people between the 60's and the 70's moving to the area around Barcelona specially from Andalusia and Extremadura. And those 2 millions have now probably become 3 or more. out of a 7 million total!
Those millions didn't and wouldn't speak the languages spoken there (it was also the time of the dictatorship when minority languages were forbidden, and they never actually got fully integrated there, living in almost-ghetto style neighbourhoods were everybody would be migrants and no one would speak the region's language.
Clearly, that affects the numbers of people who feel like splitting up from Spain nowadays. I think that's a very important point. Can you imagine how 2 million English people from London emigrating to Edinburg would affect a referendum for independence in Scotland

If you are aware while watching this, as I bet a lot of RLL subs are. You see the colonisation didn't really stop. In fact, the reason we are prosperous today, still. are because our nations never stopped having control over resources in countries we shouldn't be in. It's just weird. but it's not like the majority would want to have anything less then they have, so. or want to believe it can all end.
All the ''deals'' as well is mostly for shows, so we don't dislike it, or feel bad. Often the deals only benefit the people in power, the government in that country. Getting filthy rich by letting foreign powerhouses rob their people of their resources - so WE can have a modern society with smartphones etc, but also - ironically - a ''greener'' world, supposedly. Making it greener by making it way less green first! way to go world!

as an outsider looking in, i find the scottish independance movement interesting. it sounds great on paper because scotland has its own culture and they would get the freedom to govern as they saw fit, then you look in to the plan and current condition of scotland financially.
scotlands stance was they wanted to leave the uk, keep using their own version of the pound while rejoining the eu meanwhile the snp governments fiscal policies meant scotland didnt meet one of the core objectives needed to join the eu, plus they would need to use the euro if they joined.
if i remember right, scotlands finances have been running in the red for decades and the policies which have been passed in that timeframe havent made things cheaper to run only more expensive. when you look at it in financial terms it made no sense.

FREEDOM! Or otherwise what How can you defend democracy without freedom. You are all being manipulated by the power holders for their egoistic personal benefits. The best examples here are Bougainville and New Caledonia. How can you defend that without accepting colonialism and therefore denying freedom to their original inhabitants to decide their future, and hence denying all the main principles of democracy: freedom and the rest of human rights. And all because the stealing of natural resources, and the colonialist powers' agendas. But think about it: if they can do that to them, they can do it to you too. Ask people in Hong-Kong.

Just a note on the Scottish independence movement: with the utter collapse of the SNP (who 50% of them aren't nationalists anyway) and the fact that the Alba party are politically irrelevant and the next election projected to be won by the pro-union Scottish Labour, its not going anywhere anytime soon, its basically dead in the water. Its going to take at least another 20 years to get another independence referendum on the table since the UK Supreme Court recently ruled that Scotland doesn't have the legal authority to hold an independence movement whenever they want

You are 100% correct. Yemen will go back to 2 independent sovereign countries (South Yemen and North Yemen) as was the case Pre-1990. They are already split since 2015 when the war kicked off.
By the way, The Southern Transitional Council are not separatist by any means, rather, they want their country back which was taken from them during the failed unification process. So, they are within their right to claim their land back and modernise it in line with the 21 century. Any bright spark can see that.

As a Kurd from Turkey, I believe a Kurdish autonomy region inside Turkey is almost impossible today. I'm also not sure if the Kurdish ppl from Turkey want independence at all, bc plenty of ppl migrated to greater cities like Istanbul, Izmir, Mersin, Antalya for better living and money. For example, approx. 2-3 million Kurdish live in Istanbul alone. Idk if the current status will change after the next great Istanbul eartquake or the new wars around the region but as today its more impossible than ever.

Being a pedantic former English teacher I can't help but constantly notice and become distracted by your redundant duplications of various prepositions, adverbs etc:
For example you say things like 'they still haven't. still today'
Or 'on which. they put it on'
If you are putting the word in the middle of the sentence you don't need to put it again at the end
Just choose which one you are going for (choose the one for which you are going for)

It's amazing that France is able to win fights against people who atechnically.
Technically weaker than they are, but France can never seem to win in a fight against anybody. That seems to be the same power as them. Or even just slightly weaker than them, cause remember. In the 1930s, when Germany invaded France, they were supposed to be the stronger army. But I'm not seeing his Webb's friends off the map almost completely.

as indonesian i get why west papua want to be independence, as indonesia herself was invade and colonize by various europeans for roughly 350 years and somehow these european countries and U. S. still want to colonize us one more time because we have vast amount of natural resources that banned it raw material to be exported unless you all build smelter here in indonesia, so get y'all reasons straight

With regards to Scotland. Nicola sturgeon resigned as the Scottish National Party were being investigated for dodgy finance management.
Her replacement resigned yesterday due to no confidence pressures.
The SNP are currently in a bit of turmoil which will hinder the Scottish independence movement.
Although UK general elections are due to take place this year so anything can happen.

14: 26 see. I don’t get boycotting the vote. Your entire side decides not to vote. The result is predictably lopsided in favor of the other side. And that other side proclaims victory. And then you act surprised.
I understand the concept of there being unfair decisions made. But your boycott gives them the means to justify those decisions.
Show up. Then cry foul after.

. did you just show the results of Quebec independence vote as a difference of 1%, then go on to show how many people decided it and the overall population to show us that the result was determined by 1% of the overall population
Did you not think that through I have no idea how you edited that all and just thought Repeating the exact same thing in two ways sure makes a lot of sense.

Imagine living in Greenland being governed by a country (which you’re allowed to move to at any time or any other nation in the EU) with one of the highest standards of living, that also subsides half of your governments budget and thinking your better off on your own in the middle of the North Atlantic and arctic oceans. That sounds like an absolutely awful idea.

I hope Scotland can become independent and rejoin the EU. They deserve it. The UK as a whole has become so narcissistic, when there are countries in Eastern Europe with better life quality, economy and defense systems now. Brexit was a circus, I'm still of the opinion they'll crawl back begging within the next 20 years.

Something is up with the audio recording on this one. It's almost like the microphone recording volume was turned all the way up. It seems to have recorded the higher frequencies but clipped the low audio frequencies. Even with my volume down, it cause the listening experience to not be very enjoyable.

I don't think a single simple majority vote should suffice for independence, or anything else of that level of permanence. 2 separate votes 5 years apart requiring supermajorities for one or both. That way it isn't a whim. The UK should have handled BREXIT similarly.

Why would New Caledonia want independence when they are part of a very powerful country that can let them travel basically anywhere, with an economy that uses the Euro It sounds like a terrible idea just like Scottish independence- Scotland is better of with the UK

32: 29 and then in this case we see the opposite. The anti independence movement boycotts and predictably the result is heavily skewed in favor of independence and then the independence movement acts on that result.
If there’s a vote. Just show up.
