I said "West" but meant East!! The text is correct but my narration is wrong. Austria comes from the German for EAST. Sorry about that! This is a little different from my other videos, dealing with a fairly simply question which isn't exactly all that complex, and then later looking at some similar situations and then going off on a minor tangent about the flags. Perhaps I can get around to doing that video about the colonisation of Africa towards the end of this year. I know some people prefer these kinds of short videos, that I plan on doing every so often, but the usual 10+ minute video about a complicated topic will always be my "normal" style of video. For the people who prefer longer, more in depth videos, those will remain my primary uploads, but hopefully you don't mind a wee change and a video like this often once in a while. Thanks for watching. Sorry about the error! Cheers, Chris.

The modern borders of Africa and the Middle East were drawn by Europeans. In Africa's case, the Europeans only wanted resources and profit. They did not care about the native Africans. The borders of their colonies forced tribes who may have been rivals for hundreds of years into the same colonies. But one thing many people forget is that Europeans often favored one tribe over another. This happened in modern-day Rwanda, where the Belgians favored the Tutsis over the Hutus. After Rwanda gained its independence, the Hutus took control of the government. In 1994, the Hutus began the Rwandan Genocide, in which 800,000 people were killed in only 100 days. The problem with tribes led to other conflicts in Africa, mainly civil wars.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Western world was desperate to see the “savage,” “primitive” peoples described by explorers and adventurers scouting out new lands for colonial exploitation. To feed the frenzy, thousands of indigenous individuals from Africa, Asia, and the Americas were brought to the United States and Europe, often under dubious circumstances, to be put on display in a quasi-captive life in “human zoos.”

Actually the 'Aus-' root words are ultimately the same, going back to a Proto-Indo-European word meaning 'shine', particularly in reference to the dawn. Latin and German both wound up shifting the meaning from being the direction of dawn in the south-east to the cardinal directions, they just settled on difference ones. Strangely the dawn appears more southerly in Germany than it does in Italy so you could argue they got it the wrong way around. But that's nothing compared to us here in Australia being named for being in the South because of something that, from our point of view, is in the North East.

I think they should be done in order of historical relevance by time. Portugese -> Spanish -> Dutch -> French -> British. This way it's easier to refer to past events.

But it would also be interresting to see all those attemps of small states like Norway, Sweden, Austria, Poland, Lithuania, smaller German countries,... that didn't last very long. Not to forget about Denmark, USA, Germany, Italy, with their colonies.

Correction at 5:49: The name Österreich (Austria) comes from the German word Ost/östlich meaning east/eastern, not West/westlich meaning west/western. The text in the video has it right, but the audio is wrong. (Whonder why nobody noticed that yet.)
