▶ In this video I speculate about some countries that could, and even might, balkanize in the near future. Understanding which these countries are and why they could effectively break up - or at least why that danger exists. From the separatist ethnic groups in Pakistan, to the internal conflicts of Yemen and Libya; not to mention the everlasting internal struggles of different peoples living within a single nation - such as Spain, Belgium or even the United Kingdom.

Belgium might be split into 4 countries if they split.
Spain 🇪🇸 Catalonia &The Basque region Canada 🍁 Quebec The U.S principally The Deep South (Texas, Florida E.T.C.) Myanmar 🇲🇲 Rakhine, Karen, Shang E.T.C. China 🇨🇳 Tibet, Xinjiang Autonomous Region, Hong Kong 🇭🇰 and Taiwan 🇹🇼 The only problems India 🇮🇳 has is Kashmir which could become independent/ balkanize with Jammu becoming Hindu, Ladakh becoming Bhuddist and The Kashmir Valley and the rest becoming an Islamic country/state and The North East region
I’m almost certain that Russia will Balkanize in the near future. ESPECIALLY in the north Caucasuses and the far east.
Si USA interviene la ruptura será rápida.
If Pakistan breaks up, who will get their nukes????
Megalopolis? Exaggerate much? There are only 10 million people in the whole country.
when you said it name was from igbo words Bia = come fra = take, I knew instantly that you didn't do your research well. I don't know how it's was formed buh I am sure you are wrong because am igbo. There is nothing like fra in ìgbo language. Take = were or ịnara in igbo language.
What about burma and Myanmar?
Dude you just showed the absolute smallest map of Kurdistan
01:50 No, that is a left-wing rainbow propaganda lie, the Celtic tribe of the Boii had been Romanized for centuries and the name no longer played a role when the Baiovars gave their name to what is now Bavaria
America really likes pans(and guns)
In the UK part you forgot the Cornishin Cornwall, and the Dependency Countries.
Afater 30 years some people think that its better to be a NAZI than a comunnist.....Germany never was des-nazified....
9:23 those counties in grey mean they don't have sales tax
Le América est français
I'm suprised you put down Pakistan but did not put down INDIA!! Same thing for the USA especially with the large Latino vs Anglo split
Fun fact: There are more people living in New York City than there are in all of Sweden.
07:41 You have overlooked Chechnya, which is around 96% Chechen and has fought a war in independence in the past. All it would take is for Russia to lose in Ukraine for Kadyrov to seize on Russia's hour of weakness to try for independence again. After that it could embolden other republics where Russians are not the majority to follow suit, such as Dagestan and Kalmykia.
You got Ireland’s Military Standard flag wrong. That’s the Naval Jack of Ireland.
The “ethnic map” of China is not representative of actual ethnic majorities. Inner Mongolia is mostly Han Chinese, and the areas of “Greater Tibet” are similarly mostly Chinese.
Suppose we could add the United states as a potential country that could balkanize. We already have some "states" acting counter to the federal government as opposed to in tandem like they're supposed to. Though it seems like its going the way Rome did, infrastructure gradually decaying as the centralized governments power wanes. Everything has a size at which it's no longer possible to maintain and must fall apart after all.
Hawaii included
Bro is from India that's why he forgets India but mentiioned China, Pakistan also forgets Iran and others. In India (Khalistan,Kashmir,Nagaland, Manipur) whole north east want independence, In iran most of the part of the country wants independence.
Wtf you smoking? All these you mentioned is not active at all. Nagaland, Manipur ? Where did you got the information? Can you give one major independence movement in India which happened recently?
You missed the biggest of them all. Iran.
as Russian, there are not enough ethnicities no break this country into as many pieces as you want to. Unless you again invent some ethnicity like "Uraliks" or "Siberians" like you did with SouthWest Rus.
Russia is currently the most likely to break up, but not at the lines you drew, as you have grouped multiple people into one group, while Russia currently tries to get rid of all minorities through casualties.
Add Canada to that list
Why navy blue Victoria sate colour because put sky blue a nsw flag
Sydney is not world famous
Ethiopia could balkanize too
Superior: am I a joke to you
I would include the US, Canada, and Mexico. Mexico is already a medieval-esque country with different interests running certain parts of it like fiefdoms. And eventually they moght split off. And as for the US, the differences between say, West Texas and Seattle are so vast they might as well be foreign countries.
The United States could easily break apart into approximately 5 regions. No idea why this was not mentioned.
You missed USA splitting. Also Canada could see west and east split.
Stupid Flanders 😒.
You forgot INDONESIA. Not just Papua, all of their islands want to break away from javanese occupation and colonization.
I think Somalia and Ethiopia are likely candidates for balkanization as well as Afghanistan.
There's NO WAY Russia or China are going to break up because they still have strong central powers and a militairy who would interfere immidiately, if one region even thinks about indipendece. Just remember Tibet and Grosny...
Countries in general are much less likely to break up than they used to be as the most powerful international organizations prefer sheer status quo over any liberation or unification movements, Whatever the world's borders are at present most organizations are trying to prevent them from changing as much as possible to reduce overall chaos and unpredictability Even when perhaps a natural collapse should be permitted for a reorganization This isn't to say it never happens at all in fact borders do change all the time but there active resources and groups trying to prevent it especially on larger scales. If smaller wars get support and backing it is in the name of preventing larger wars
we are gonna make idaho great again
Reason to Baluchistan : On the Independence of India and Pakistan all states and regions had the option of joining the 2 nations or stay independent. Baluchistan couldn't join India due to geographic issues so chose independence. But despite promises from Pakistan it was annexed by them within an year of independence. Hence the 70+ year long issue

😂😂😂 Glad to see Pakistan failing at last. Same craphole as Palestine.
Inaccurate data 7% is muslims in EU And most countries have higher % than showed here
ridiculously,there are not country named “Taiwan”😢
Why not India?
India is in category of most stable countries list. I am Indian and I don't see any major independence movement here.
The US flag has a big difference between the first and current flag.
Colors of the Four Horsemen in the Book of Revelation....
Just imagine how many people would be offended by a video like this one.
Where’s the US? They keep having race riots every year.
