Here in Australia we’ve got a state to the west called Western Australia, a state to the south called South Australia, a territory up north called Northern Territory, a state named for the queen called Queensland, another state named for the same queen called Victoria, a territory where we keep the Australian capital called the Australian Capital Territory, a bit off the bottom nobody remembers, and New South Wales. Really, NSW is the closest to imaginative that we’ve managed to come in terms of naming things.

At that time, "everybody" knew the world was a globe, and had done for a couple of thousand years. There was, however, some question about _how big_ the globe was. Columbus had asked several monarchs for money in the decade before his 1492 voyage and all of them turned him down because their experts thought that Columbus was significantly underestimating the distance to the Indies -- and they were correct, as we now know.

The argument Columbus had with the authorities wasn't about whether Earth was round (everyone knew that), but about whether the Ocean Sea could be crossed. The circumference of the Earth had been known since ancient times, and anyone looking at a map of the world without America on it would conclude that the ocean separating Europe from the Indies was vast beyond navigation. Columbus believed Earth was 1/4 its true size. Luckily he was also wrong about America or his crew would have starved.

Has no-one realised the great in Great Britain actually relates to the fact it is the largest (or greatest in size) landmass in the British Isles? In that sense Ireland is Lesser Britain (in size) but it's only got a partial North/South devide so it's all Ireland- no point in stating land size for a name. And if it is great as in Greater Brittany, why isn't Brittany Lesser Brittany or Smaller Brittany?
@masonharvath-gerrans8326 жыл бұрын
The name for Brittany in Latin (after Amorica faded and the Bretons settled in after fleeing Britain from the Anglo-Saxons) was Britannia Minor. The French name for Brittany is Bretagne, while for Great Britain it is Grande-Bretagne. So, to sum it all up, Brittany is the Lesser Britain, but the term has fallen out of favour, especially since the French education reforms of the 19th century in which local languages were stamped out for the most part.
