Im sure at 90% abut it For all those who do not understand this secret, the Germans wanted to take over Africa and Africa, but the British knew that it was impossible.
if your measurement is only in miles or kilometers, then it’s a quad point. however, there is a 500ft water border between botswana and zambia, which separates namibia from zimbabwe. 🤓
It's called Helgoland. Where did the i come from? It's also interesting that I've never seen a source that the trade was for both Zanzibar and Helgoland. Every source I've seen so far only said that it was for one of the two.
I figured out most YT content creators master plan ! You give deliberately false or bongo info on the channel ( in that case the so called quadripoint ) to generate MORE comments ( to correct the falsity) therefore triggering the YT algorithm, hence earning more $$ as content creator .. We are doomed as a society 😮
Only a few decades after Britain gave Heligoland back to Germany they tried to destroy the island completely. In both WW1 and WW2 Germany used Heligoland as a major naval base which was a real pain for the royal navy, and so after the war they decided to dispose of 7400 tonnes of surplus explosives by just blowing it all up on the tiny island. The explosion was about 1/5th of the size of the Hiroshima nuclear explosion but amazingly the island survived and is inhabited again today.
The treaty served German chancellor Leo von Caprivi's aims for a settlement with the British. After the 1884 Berlin Conference, Germany had been losing out in the "Scramble for Africa". The German East Africa Company under Carl Peters had acquired a strip of land on the Tanganyikan coast (leading to the 1888 Abushiri Revolt), but had never had any control over the islands of the Zanzibar sultanate. The treaty gave away no vital German interests, while acquiring Heligoland, an island which was strategically placed for control over the German Bight. With the construction of the Kiel Canal from 1887 onward, control of the German Bight had become essential to Emperor Wilhelm's II plans for expansion of the Imperial Navy.
There is a quadripoint point at Kazakhstan, Russia, Mongolia and China.
Simbabwe? Im sorry i think you nean Rhodesia

If a border of a african/asian country is looking weird, 90 percent of the time it's because of European powers.
Thats ehat she said [bc its true]

Not that any of it would matter, England would end up controlling the territory after WW1
The brits really regreted giving up Helgoland

Secret?
i heard the coast of Namibia is not very hospitable and uninhabitable along most of it as well
Technically the quadripoint doesnt count. It was later determined that botswana has a very small border with zambia .
Thanks for vídeo, good explains

Something quite interesting that you can see in that video is the okavango river delta just south of the strip… look it up.
It's just barely not a quadripoint, Namibia does not border Zimbabwe.
Its not a quadripoint. For a Geography channel you should know that 😂😂😂
Namibia gave a great response to Germany yesterday regarding South Africa's case against Israel at the International Court of Justice 🇳🇦👍🏼
Well, it looks like a quadripoint, but fun fact: No! Namibia does not border Zimbabwe, but their borders are less than 200 metres away.
Fun fact: Namibia is speaking up for Gaza and against Germany. Well done, Namibia.
Stupid question but why did he laugh at the end
This might be after all the only territorial deal beneficial for Germany as Helgoland is still part of the country.
Wait…. I thought the border was not actually a quadrotpoint, just barely… did they make it a quadropoint?
Thanks for the education, I didn't know that.
Also, "Heligoland" is probably for the bit but just to make it clear: it's Helgoland.
Love from Germany.
lol 😂
Yayy
