Countries With "Special Relationships"

Check out History Mapped Out's videos @History_Mapped_Out ! Thank you to them for sponsoring this video.
▶ In this video I talk about the "Special Relationship" that exists between some countries. How the concept first emerged with the United States & United Kingdom and how it has, since, been applied to many other nations. Usually connecting world powers with countries in areas they seek to influence - such as China and Albania - but also at times connecting those with a common past (such as old colonizers and old colonies, i.e. Portugal and Brazil), or those with a common identity - such as Albania and Kosovo. There are, however, some odd cases. Like the proximity between Turkey and South Korea, which goes back to a specific historical event that we learn about here.

The oldest alliance between two countries is between England and Portugal dating back to 1386. And it is still active to this day.

[@DeSlagen8]

United Kingdom and Portugal.

[@Daniel_leading_the_13_Plateans]

@@DeSlagen8 it was just England in 1386 it only became a "United" kingdom i. the 1700s when Scotland joined

[@Stok3dgaming]

Wouldn't call it a special relationship, though. Not all of the examples in this video necessarily have a comprehensive alliance. Portugal and the uk's relationship is basically just diplomatic, they don't really exchange culture.

You missed one of the biggest ones! Canada and the US. Customs in US airports have two lines, one is Canadian and American citizens and the other is all other nationalities. Canada also enjoys the most laid back visa policy into the US and I believe vice versa as well.

As an Albanian I would put 130 countries before China in terms of Special Relationships. Kosova is a brother state, USA, Italy, UK, are great partners, Turkey, Germany and Austria are important partners etc. Hell you could put USA as a special partner since we are the most pro-US nation polled worldwide

I knew my homeland had close political ties with Portugal but I had no idea this concept of special relationship existed between the two of us.

[@rafaumtgavioli]

Sim. Tão próxima que existia um acordo com o Conselho de Arquitetura e Urbanismo do Brasil com a Ordem dos Arquitectos de Portugal, onde o diploma de arquitetura não precisava de validação para ambos os lados, um brasileiro tinha a liberdade de trabalhar com arquiteto em Portugal e vice-versa. Infelizmente este acordo acabou em 2019, mas há novas negociações para o retorno deste acordo.

[@eVill420]

Finland and Sweden have an extremely close historical and real-time relationship to the point that we didn't want to join NATO without Sweden and they didn't want to leave us behind then people jokingly make fun of each other to hide we're in love, it's kind of cute.

[@larissatom6910]

I’ve heard that Sweden and Norway don’t have a close relationship despite their similarities. Is their any truth in that?

[@Spacemongerr]

​​@@larissatom6910 No. Norway and Sweden have a very good and close relationship. For example, as a Norwegian, there are countries that don't have a Norwegian embassy/consulate but have a Swedish one. If I am in such a country I would get official aid from the Swedish embassy. Also moving between countries is super easy, since Nordic passport convention of 1952. Any nordic citizen can just move to another nordic country for any reason, and after living in the other country for 3 months, they have complete citizen rights automatically

[@Biljoona]

Generally, when there is trouble, the Nordics usually stick together.

I would say Italy and Argentina, Italy and Malta, Poland and Japan, Brazil and Japan, Poland Hungry, Monaco with Italy and France. And much more.

[@piotrcarafa7993]

Especially the last, Monaco is basically one of the few remaining Italian States. Monaco native language is Monaquesque, which is entirely Italic and almost no difference from Genoese. The main family/the royal family of Monaco is the Grimaldi Family, one of the more common Italian surnames.

Poland-Hungary, we celebrate Polish-Hungarian friendship day in March in Poland. I don’t think any other country has a day that they celebrate a friendship with another country. And Hungarians get given preferential treatment in Poland.

there is also some interesting groupings of countries with special relations, all the countries in the five eyes have special relations with each other another look at special relations may be from history like how WW1 was also called the cousins war as leaders of the UK, Germany and Russia were all cousins.

[@rizkyadiyanto7922]

vassal states arent real country.

[@arjaygee]

@@rizkyadiyanto7922 None of the countries mentioned are vassal states as the term is understood historically. None of the Oceanian countries mentioned pays tribute to its free association partner or conscripts citizens into the partner's military service ... two typical aspects of a vassal state relationship. Given that they are not vassal states, there seems no reason to refute your claim that they are not "real countries," whatever personal definition you have for that term.

Russian sphere of influence on the Balkans paints the Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia North and Republic of Srbska/BIH. Albania is NATO, Kosovo too. Albania got it's first NATO 50 mil $ air base. Albania moved his embassy to the Jerusalem, Israel recognized separation of Kosovo. They are both in US cooperation aid program.

[@romanlelek2808]

I may add a few more, mainly from Europe: Czech Republic and Slovakia - common history and similar language Russia and Belarus - colonizer and colonized Romania and Moldova - similar language Albania and Kosovo - common religion and history Greece and Cyprus - colonizer and colonized Latvia and Lithuania - common history and similar language Finland and Sweden - common history

[@josueveguilla9069]

Countries with territorial disputes (2024)

[@averagewhiteguy2]

There are some details about these that would have been nice. For example, for the Vatican and Italy, the most obvious fact that Italy is a nation of mostly Catholics adds to the relationship. While obvious, I'm shocked that wasn't mentioned. Second, for India and Israel, for the Hindu people of India, the relationship makes a lot of sense. Hindu Indians live in a country with a ton of Muslims (and the relationship between Hindus and Muslims in India is not getting any better), so it makes sense that they would bond with another people, Jews, surrounded by hostile Muslim nations.

[@Redoestimate1988]

My favorite special relationship I just learned about was Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. The Saudis helped fund much of Pakistan's nuclear weapons program, and there are rumors that the two nations may have a secret nuclear arms sharing agreement.

[@jamiearnott9669]

Great video. My point, the US/UK relationship must surely be the gold standard for any definition of any special relationship between any two nations. Why? As of 2023 the UK and USA are the largest investors in each other's economies which facilitate trade for the world's 2nd and 4th largest trading nations respectively. What's more, they purchase each others debt, of which the UK is the second largest buyer after Japan, vis-à-vis Bermuda and the Cayman islands and independent overseas British territories. Furthermore, the UK and USA have the first and second largest overseas military bases which is mutual, and they both certainly know a thing about the logistics of being a real global superpower. Additionally, the two countries are the top global softpowers in 2024, the first and third largest scientific research, the first and second largest service exporters, the second and third largest FDI in and out; suffice to say the list is extensive. A salient final point on the special relationship between the USA/UK, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland trades more dollars than the US does itself which further cements the Dollar's primary currency 💲 status and leaves no question in any special relationship with London and New York also being the two richest cities in the world and some of the largest city economies.😮

It has been my observation that many English speaking/Commonwealth Countries have strong opinions about the UK, either for or against. That would include Australia and Canada, both countries I have spent significant time in. However, in the USA the split is between those who love the UK and those who are indifferent. Very few actually have any animus towards the UK. Sometimes I will hear the UK referred to as the "mother country," even by people with no British lineage. The Royal Family is followed closely in the US. The Premier League is watched more than MLS (but not as much as the NFL, NBA, MLB, and probably the NHL.) The US legal system is based on "English Common" law. Our university systems were originally modelled after Scotland's. (Then German influence later on). "American as apple pie" is not totally true as English (& Dutch) colonists brought pies to the USA. Cheddar cheese is an ingredient in American cheese. American football developed from Rugby. Baseball developed from cricket and rounders. The financial industry in NYC and London are VERY closely linked. As an American, I think the first 180 to 190 years as a colony of England then the UK, the Revolutionary War and War of 1812, and finally the "Special Relationship" in the 20th and now 21st centuries allowed Americans to either appreciate our ties to the UK, or take it for granted without thinking too much about it. In contrast, in other parts of the English speaking world, the UK was either the "best thing that ever happened" or "the UK is holding us back and the source of our problems."

[@user-io8if2wj9g]

Poland and japan is one

[@emikomina]

why didn't you include Japan and the UK? 2 island nations? Before WW2, the UK helped Japan with some infrastructure and stuff like trains, which is why Japan drives on the left like the UK since their trains also go on the left influenced by the UK. Even some of Japan's earliest battleships were built by the UK. And they had good relations as the UK wanted Japan to contain the Russians on the far east. Now today, they are even collaborating on a next gen fighter jet.

[@DeSlagen8]

WW2 definitely hindered this, being allied with Germany. That is relatively recent history.

[@emikomina]

@@DeSlagen8 even after ww2 UK and Japan had good relations, the UK royal family and Japan's Imperial family had a lot of exchanges during the 1960-90s. The UK along with the USA was one of the ones that supported Japan being part of the G7, with France and Italy against, and Germany neutral. And like I said, right now Japan and the UK are developing a new next-gen fighter jet alongside Italy.

3:55 Just a small correction, there was a war of independence between Brazil and Portugal, but it was not a conflict on the same scale as other wars of independence, due to the geopolitical situation and internal disputes in Brazil and Portugal at the time.
