Washington DC in the United States and Canberra in Australia are some of the most famous examples of planned capital cities, where a government decided to build a city with the purpose of to serve as the new countries capital. In total however, there have been 37 instances in world history, where Governments moved across their county. This video will walk through the 3300 year long history of planned capital cities and along the journey we will stop by on every continent of the planet, and make a stop in all of the major modern eras of history. #Capitals #Geography #History

I just want to state that Pretoria wasn't built by the British. Rather by the Afrikaners (Dutch decented people) who escaped British rule and moved inland from the Cape Colony (Capitol: Cape Town) and created their own Boer Republics, the Republic of the Orange Free State (where the other capitol is Bloemfontein) and the Republic of ZAR/Transvaal where Pretoria was the capitol. Today all three are still capitols.

I think they're talking about the development/redesign of the city in the image of a modern capital, not necessarily that the place itself did not exist prior.

He placed it in a different state all together (Tocantins instead of Goais). It should be more to the West (in line with Marajo Island in the extreme North) and way more to the South (in line with the straight border between Bolivia and Mato Grosso). It should be South to the lone star bellow the “O” on the flag.

Technically the capital in germany was also moved twice. First in 1701 when prussia became a kingdom, its capital was moved to berlin. This was propably what he was talking about in the video. The marker however is not on berlin, but could be bonn, the capital of western germany. This however was in the 20th century.

Botswana was never part of Sout Africa. It was a British protectorate called Bechuanaland. As such, Betchuanaland gained independence from Britain and became Botswana.

Brazil did not change its capital because of overcrowding in Rio de Janeiro, which only had 1.5 million inhabitants

This video is about playing capital cities not just random cities that were planned for certain functions. There’s a difference.

By moving his court and government to Versailles, Louis XIV hoped to extract more control of the government from the nobility and to distance himself from the population of Paris. Henry the 8th also with Hampton court palace

Turkish Republic didn't move its capital from Istanbul to Ankara. Istanbul was never its capital. It's like saying Northern Ireland moved its capital from Dublin to Belfast. Turkish parliament was established in Ankara whilst the Ottoman Sultan was still "ruling" in British occupied Istanbul. A couple of weeks after the occupation was over, the new Turkish State formally became a republic with a capital in Ankara. It never was based in Istanbul. It may sound like a small detail but if you pretend that the Turkish Republic is just a continuation of Ottomans, you will offend the modernist Turks and make the Ottoman nationalist extremists happy.
