These curious questions answered and many more as I attempt to explain the origin of every European country's name in English! UPDATE: I have removed the section of this video covering Ukraine, Belarus and Russia. The subject was proving too controversial in light of Russia's unjustified invasion of Ukraine and drawing the wrong attention to my channel. ⭐️PATREON COMMUNITY: patreon.com/robwords 📝FREE NEWSLETTER: http://www.robwords.com/newsletter Check me out on the web, on Twitter & TikTok: http://robwords.com http://x.com/robwordsYT http://tiktok.com/@robwords ==CHAPTERS== 0:00 Introduction 0:16 Germany 1:44 The Netherlands 2:38 Belgium 3:23 Spain 4:28 Iceland 5:20 TripleTen 6:28 Norway 6:51 Denmark 7:32 Austria 8:03 Poland 8:37 Czechia/Czech Republic 9:03 Slovakia & Slovenia 9:47 Serbia 10:28 Croatia 11:40 France 12:33 Sweden 13:22 Switzerland 13:56 Romania 14:38 Turkey 15:15 Latvia 15:21 Hungary 15:30 Greece 15:40 Finland 15:58 Estonia 16:05 Bulgaria 16:11 Azerbaijan 16:25 Armenia 16:35Albania 17:02 North Macedonia 17:35 Montenegro 17:48 Bosnia & Herzegovina 18:07 Moldova 18:45 Portugal 19:15 Malta 19:35 Vatican, Luxembourg & Liechtenstein 20:00 San Marino 20:15 Monaco 20:28 Andorra 20:42 Cyprus 21:13 Italy 21:41 Lithuania 22:00 Georgia 22:30 Ireland & UK
