 Tlo what's poppin? We are on to tree are not live But you can leave a like comment subscribe turn on your post notification bells And let's continue to grow the family from Chicago to the UK Don't forget. We are partnered with the blueprint mastermind man We did do the round table discussion man. Will we go on there? We just talk man. We just talk about whatever's going on I know a lot of the stuff that we talk about on here doesn't apply to y'all, but it's it's still interesting Y'all can still come support the kid. You know Sam link down in the description anyway If you're looking for all my old content and all my old videos so we're here on Facebook massive, you know That links also down in the description man the difference between the UK Great Britain in England explained Now I've been doing this for four years. I think going on four years reacting to UK content and I've always called it like UK go to family for Chicago to the UK not UK or back Chicago England not cargo to Great Britain Hmm. I didn't know there was a deciphering factor. You feel me? This is an educational Tuesday if y'all have a guest by now I've just been just getting educated. You feel me? Let's get into this man. This is by CGP gray, I don't know what that is, but let's get into it. They got six million Welcome to The United Kingdom and a whole lot more explained by me CGP gray United Kingdom England Great Britain are these three the same place? Are they different places? I swear, I thought they were the same place man But if you're here to tell me that they are different Do British people secretly laugh at those who use the terms incorrectly who knows the answers to these questions? I do and I'm gonna tell you right now for the lost. This is the world This is the European continent and this is the place we have to untangle the area shown in purple is the United Kingdom Part of the confusion is that the United Kingdom is not a single country But instead is a country of countries it contains inside of it for co-equal and sovereign nations The first of these is England shown here in red This sounds like I know it, but do I know it for do I know it know it England is often confused with the United Kingdom as a whole because it's the largest and most populous of the Nations and contains the de facto capital city London to the north of Scotland shown in blue and to the west is Wales shown In white and often forgotten even by those who live in the United Kingdom is northern Ireland shown in orange Each country has a local term for the population while you can call them all British It's not recommended as the four countries generally don't like each other the northern Irish Scottish and Welsh regard the English as slave driving colonial masters No matter that all Like each other the northern Irish Scottish Welsh regard the English as slave driving colonial masters no matter that all three have their own devolved Parliaments are allowed to vote on English laws despite the reverse not being true and the English generally guard the rest As rural Yolkles who spend too much time with their sheep however As the four constituent countries don't have their own passports They are all British citizens like it or not They're British citizens of the United Kingdom whose full name by the way is the United Kingdom of great. Okay. Okay The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, okay So I'm right when I say Chicago to the UK because I mean all of them I mean all of y'all England Wales northern Ireland and Scotland. I mean every all y'all And a lot of the time I only cover stuff from London though Which is it fair then that's not fair, right? I should be covering stuff from all of them all for y'all Dang, what a realization. I got a lot of no, I had a lot of Northern Ireland stuff. I got a lot of London stuff or not London England stuff Wales and Scotland though My bad My bad Britain and Northern Ireland so where's Great Britain of the United Kingdom whose full name by the way is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland So where's Great Britain hiding right here the area covered in black is Great Britain unlike England Scotland Wales and Northern Ireland Great Britain is a Geographical rather than a political term Great Britain is the largest island among the British Isles within the United Kingdom The term Great Britain is often used to refer to England Scotland and Wales alone with the intentional exclusion of Northern Ireland This is mostly but not completely true as all three constituent countries have islands that are not part of Great Britain Such as the Isle of White part of England the Welsh Isle of Anglesey the Scottish Hebrideens the Shetland Islands the Auckland Islands and the Islands of the Clyde The second biggest island in the British Isles is Ireland It's worth noting at this point that Ireland is not a country like Great Britain is a geographical not political term The island of Ireland contains on a two countries northern Ireland which we have already discussed and the Republic of Ireland when people say they are Irish They were referring To the Republic of Ireland, which is a separate country from the United Kingdom However, both the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom are members of the European Union even though England in particular like To pretend that it's an island in the Mid-Atlantic rather than 50 kilometers off the coast of France But that's a story for another time to review the two largest islands in the British Isles are Ireland and Great Britain Ireland has on a Two countries the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland while Great Britain mostly contains three England Scotland and Wales These last three when combined with Northern Ireland formed the United Kingdom. There are still many unanswered Questions such as why when you travel to Canada is their British royalty on the money to answer this we need to talk about You can't have gone to school in the English-speaking world without having learned that the British Empire once banned a fourth world's land and governed nearly a fourth world's people Well, it's easy to remember the parts of the British Empire that broke away violently We often forget how many nations gained independence through diplomacy not bloodshed These want to be nations struck a deal with the Empire where they continue to recognize the monarchy as the head of state in exchange for a Local autonomous parliament to understand how they are connected. We need to talk about the crown not the physical crown I like educational videos nowadays, man. I don't know when I was in high school. I could care less So if anybody's watching this in school because I know some of y'all teachers watch these videos in school That's gonna come a point in your life where you like, let me go to YouTube and educate myself That sits behind glass local autonomous Parliament to understand how they are connected We need to talk about the crown not the physical crown that sits behind glass in the Tower of London and earns millions of tourist pounds for the UK But the crown is a complicated legal entity best thought of as a one-man corporation who created this corporation God did According to British tradition all power is vested in God and the monarch is crowned in a Christian ceremony God However not wanting to be bothered with micromanagement conveniently delegates his power to an entity called the crown while this used To be the physical crown in the Tower of London it evolved over time into a legal corporation Soul able to be controlled only by the ruling monarch It's a useful reminder that the United Kingdom is still technically a theocracy with a reigning monarch acting as both the head of state and the supreme governor of The official state religion Anglicanism such are the oddities that arise we're dealing with a thousand-year-old monarchy Back to Canada and the rest the former colonies that gained their independence through diplomacy and continue to recognize the authority of the crown Are known as the Commonwealth realm they are in decreasing order of population Canada Australia Papua New Guinea New Zealand Jamaica the Solomon Islands Believes the Bahamas Barbados Saint Lucia Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Grenada Antigua and Barbuda Saint kids and never sent to value all are Independent nations but still recognize the monarchy as the head of state even though it has little real power within their borders There are three for their entities that belong Recognize the monarchy as the head of state even though it has little real power within their borders There are three further entities that belong to the crown and these are the crown dependencies the Isle of Man Jersey and Unlike the Commonwealth realm they are not considered independent nations But are granted local autonomy by the crown and a British citizenship by the United Kingdom Though the UK does reserve the right to overrule the laws of their local assemblies. Are we done now almost but not quite There are still a couple of loose threads such as this place the tiny city of Gibraltar on the southern coast of Spain famous for its rock It's monkeys and for causing diplomatic tension between the United Kingdom and Spain or what about the Falkland Islands Which caused its monkeys and for causing diplomatic tension between the United Kingdom and Spain Or what about the Falkland Islands which caused so much tension between the United Kingdom and Argentina that they went to war over them These places belong in the last group of crown properties known as British overseas territories But their former name crown colonies gives away their origin They are the last vestiges of the British Empire unlike the Commonwealth realm They have not become independent nations and continue to rely on the United Kingdom for military and sometimes economic assistance Like the crown dependencies everyone born within their borders is a British citizen The crown colonies are in decreasing order of population Bermuda the Cayman Islands the Turks and Caicos Islands Gibraltar the British Virgin Islands Akritiri and Dakelia and Guila St. Helena the Ascension Islands Tristan Dakota Montserrat the British Indian Ocean Territory the South How old is this? Hold on. This is from 11 years ago. Some of this is not still what's happening, right? Some of these have gained an independence some of not these specifically but South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands the Falkland Islands the British Antarctic Territory and the Pickering Islands For our final Venn diagram the United Kingdom is a country situated on the British Isles and is part of the crown Which is controlled by the monarchy also part of the crown and the British Isles are the crown dependencies The independent nations of the former Empire that still recognize the crown are the Commonwealth realm and the non-independent remnants of the former Empire are the British overseas territories. Thank you very much for watching Okay, I think I got I think I know more about the United Kingdom the crown Scotland, Wales, London Ireland, then I do about the United States.
