    About the greece and turkey part of the video: the trojan war has nothing to do with the conflict between Turks and the Greeks. The Turks have been in Asia minor only in recent history (around the fall of Byzantine empire era). It also should be noted that the people of Troy were in fact Greek, the trojan war was about the conflict between Achaeans and Trojans (not greeks vs trojans)

    I'd like to say, while the Spanish government has officially supported Morocco on its plan of autonomy for Western Sahara, the decision has been heavily criticized by literally every political party and pretty much the entirety of the population. So, while officially things have been resolved, in reality it's still there
  • As a brazilian, I see argentinians more or like brothers that love bickering against each other over football (and sometimes politics), there is even a colloquial way in which we refer to them (and in Spanish, their language) - "Los Hermanos"
  • @firstcynic92
    If you want to get instantly demonitized you could talk about the "disagreement" between China (PRC) and China (ROC aka Taiwan).
  • Here in Brazil theres an expression generally used in sports "Winning is good, winning from Argentina is much better" But its Just a healthy rivalry with our "hermanos"
  • @twinsen1949
    Some of my best friends are Brasilians. I'd say nowadays the rivalry is more of a brotherly banter. Two countries that love each other but still tease and annoy one another. Though some people really do see it as enemies rather than friendly rivals.

    There is something about Morocco vs Spain which is, at least in present times, much more important than history and Sahara (probably not Ceuta and Melilla). Is inmigration, or, to say it properly, the way Morocco uses immigration to negotiate (some would said blackmail) with Spain. You proabably know that whenever Spain do something that Mohammed VI doesn’t like he stop to control it and thousands of people try to pass the border in Melilla and Ceuta. That is obviously a big internal problem to Spain. That is, at leas in the Spanish side, the main concern.
  • @WyomingTraveler
    Excellent video, while I knew about these rivalries I didn’t know all the details thanks for expanding my knowledge.
  • @orkunpak
    i know this is going to sound extremely naive but i’ve been to around 30 countries and as a turkish person, the country where i felt the most welcome was greece by a mile. and i’ve heard similar comments from my greek friends as well. it is absolutely true that there is a conflict between the two countries but i would argue the people of both get along quite well especially over a bottle ouzo or raki (though admittedly there are ultra nationalist idiots on both sides). we enjoy very similar food, similar music cultures, similar expressions… anyway, just wanted give a shoutout to our neighbours in a hopeful manner.
  • The best way to define the relationship between Argentina and Brazil is a toxic one. Sometimes we love each other and sometimes we certainly do not
  • Thanks for the educational content! Few points can be argued but it’s great research! If you don’t mind, how did you created the drawings and animations?
  • @mail2257
    You made a mistake in Bosnia ,first of all Bosnia and Herzegovina is a country that is made of 2 entities republik of srpska and federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina ( which is it self made of Muslim and Croatian part ) they have 3 presidents and basically you have 2 states in same country who hate each other and 3 one which wants to become 3rd entity ( Croatian part )
  • @FWU100
    As for Brazil and Argentina you can say that the reason Uruguay exists is because of their rivalry, since England proposed the creation of Uruguay as a buffer state between them.
  • How about a video on rivalries between a country and one of it's regions, like Québec vs Canada ? How about a video on strange wars, like the "whiskey war" between Canada and Denmark for Hans island ?.
  • @SmartplaySPBR
    Currently, a fight that could grow because of the Amazon Forest is between Brazil and France, since the largest French land border is precisely with Brazil because of the border between the state of Amapá and French Guiana.
  • @edwardblair4096
    I'm pretty sure the map of Cyprus at 3:11 is wrong. In the southeast corner there is the yellow blob of a UK military base. To the east there is a section in red that is separated by a green line from the larger red section in the north. The green line represents the de-militarized zone administered by the UN that separates the two halves of Cyprus. There is no point in having a green line separating two sections of the same territory. The correct map will show the section east of the UK base and south of the dividing line with the blue color of "south" Cyprus.
  • You must be joking to point out the situation between Spain and Morocco, which has it’s ups and downs, and not mention the relation between Algeria and Morocco. Two neighbours which share hundreds of km of border, and hardly have any diplomatic contact. In fact until these last years crisis, Spain would reexport algerian gas, because Algeria will not sell it directly to Rabat. Not to mention that their common border seems everyday closer two the Korea’s situation than two normal magrebh countries.
  • Interesting video let's hope these rivalries can be settled peacefully
