We can`t hear what they say !!!

[frogfeetproductions]

@6472Francis yeah sorry that's my bad. The volume was a little low when i uploaded it. If you plug speakers into your computer or laptop you can hear it much much better.

That isnae the English flag, that's the Union Jack! Yous always get it wrang ffs!!! Makes me yearn for Scottish Independence even maer.

Canada's pretty sound btw...

[frogfeetproductions]

@StuScience Yes it is the Union you are correct. By 1606 all seagoing ships began using the Union Flag(even though the traditional St. Georges Cross continued as the national flag for years.) Hudson sailed to Canada in 1610. He probably did not run off his ship and stick a flag in the ground as pictured, but we used artistic licence. You'll notice that when John Cabot runs off his ship to claim Canada for England, years before, he is carrying the traditional St. George's Cross.

0:50 i believe that is the British flag, not the english flag. Britain does not mean England, idiot

[frogfeetproductions]

@weeblairnumber1 True, the St. George's Cross was the national flag of England, but by 1606 all seagoing ships ( that means big boats) began using the Union Jack. Hudson sailed around 1610 and they mutinied and left him behind in 1611. If you look closely you will notice that John Cabot who earlier claimed Canada for England is in fact flying the traditional St. George's Cross.

Don't worry, I won't hold your lack of research skills or manners against you.

Most of this comes across as racist against Europeans...

@TheYesWinston The Spanish made most the south American nations, the Portuguese made Brazil & France had some colonies in areas, but if you look at all the English settled & speaking nations, they are today the most advanced & powerful nations on the planet, compared to any Spanish speaking nation, for instance. London is the financial, restaurant, theatre & fashion capital of the world now, but Hong Kong is no.3, NYC no.2, 5 of the top 10 financial capitals of the world are English speaking.

@TheYesWinston I'm watching all these videos too & it's true, most the countries were built by british settlers and kept an Anglo structure in making their nations. That's why English is the international aviation, technological, science & business language of the world & the lingua franca. Our family group settled much of the Anglosphere nations of the world, built Hong Kong & India too. A good video to see on YT is 'Britain, America and the making of the modern world.'

[TheYesWinston]

lol im watching all of the videos that involve countries begginings and the british empire is responsible for atleast 70% of them. we were right cunts.

@emeke96 Serves you right for insulting Canadian history.

[emeke96]

@MajBlood FUCK OFF STOP TALKING TO ME I DON'T KNOW YOU

[Zorn27]

Canada:  "It's all about the hats" XD

[TrueBlueCanuck]

i bet non of you americans knew that canada was once pure ice and snow

[vikings11thcentury]

Your cartoon is wrong. The French in New Brunswick claim that Samuel Du Champlain was here first. So you'll have to change your cartoon dipicting him discovering the new world before the John Cabot, the Vikings and the Natives. Thats what Bilingualism is all about. French 1st or French only cause they were here first. It's law now don't you know. You silly englishman.

[YZB25]

@StuScience That's because the language is english, the capital is english and the world doesn't understand the history of the uk and everyone makes assumptions from that.

But you shouldn't get frustrated over names........
