11 Obscure Countries with Amazing Histories.
video description
As well, the European or British English pronunciation that was offered to you is not actually any closer to how the word is really pronounced by the citizens. So, I'm not suggesting that you should just change something due to negative feedback. But, offering a smug, stereotypically American response in a video claiming to give me the Amazing History of said nation is not the approach.
You are clearly good at doing research. This was one to research and get right before you went on your rant.

Poles were involved in 3 out of 11 of these countries (not everytime mentioned) and maybe even more. Besides Haiti, where our independence fighting Polish Legions where send to suppress another independence uprising, (that's why majority of our soldiers joined Haitians instead) we were also in Madagascar, Madagascans had Polish-Slovak King for a while during 18th century (and there was plan to sold Madagascar to Poles as it was said in a video too) and there was plan for Liberia to become Polish colony (with blessing of Liberians) just before 2nd World War, but it was shut down by USA I think (I don't remember exactly by whom)

the numbers of the Paraguaian war are completely wrong. It was created by an argentian historian who spread the misinformation that Paraguay was becoming a developed country, so England manipulated Brazil, Argentina and Uruguai out of pure impealism to avoid a competitor in South America, these 3 countris combined killed 95% of the male population in Paraguay. this fake history is taught to this day in Brazil where I live

18: 09 Collectivist systems that are not based on The Communist Manifesto or Its derivatives should not be called Communist simply because they have some shared values in economics. Communism is a philosophy created by Karl Marx that is not just limited to Economics, and in many was is antithetical to and would likely oppose the successful collectivist systems in history such as the Paraguyan Jesuit and Incan systems.

You know you're an ignorant white person when you can say with a straight voice that a large area of Africa and its inhabitants who were colonized and taken over by the Belgian government and ruled over the natives in a humane way and were the best colonial power. That's like saying American slave owners were good people because they housed, fed, and clothed their slaves. Are you literally serious?

You really have to stop with the historical inaccuracies and exadurations. The Arabs were not tributaries to the Sudanese, the Arabs and the Sudeanese made a pact which agreed that the Arabs would send money in exchange for Slaves. It was simply a Slave contract in the form of a peace treaty.

How could you miss J. R. R. Tolkien? The names of the Dwarves as well as Gandalf in The Hobbit are literally taken from the list of Dwarves in the Poetic Edda and many if not most of those other fantasy writers were more copying Tolkien and only indirectly Snorri.

The picture you show at 13: 05 is Ranavalona III the last queen of madagascar, not the mad queen Ranavalona I, there were 2 queens and a king inbetween their reigns. also her madness was mostly just european & christian propaganda, and has been recognized as such since the 70s.

From your pie chart, I'm in some minority that doesn't show up lol! I'm fascinated by the Classical Near East and Antiquity (which is safe to assume sort of puts me in the Roman Empire category. And I knew about the Greco-Bactrians (don't forget the Indo-Greeks)

With regards to Oman, one thing that ought to be mentioned is that the late Sultan Qaboos was one of the few political figures in the Arab world who can be described as a true statesman in recent years. Definitely the most astute and visionary since Sadat.
