Ever thought about what could interrupt global trade? The narrow Danish Straits and the busy Suez Canal are responsible for 80% of sea trade, but a single stranded ship or blockade could threaten nations' supplies! Discover the geopolitical rivalry among Denmark, China, and the US as they compete for control, and learn how small waterways can shape conflicts and economies. Spoiler: It’s a tense situation!

The fact that this is not common knowledge is an indictment of the education system. You would think that education should include the basics of how the world works. If education in the middle ages were this incompetent, nobody would know that you could grow food on agricultural land.

Recent events clearly require an explanation of the Hormuz strait.

What spots ships to go around mallaca straight?
@jeansang7923And bab el mandeb. . .
@jburt56st lawrence sea way
@fakedungeonmaster5740One small correction to the Danish Straits: The Great Belt (max draft 15m) is not the only allowed strait to use. Øresund is equally (max draft 7,7m) useful and allowable and will save you 125 nautical miles compared to going through the Great Belt (if coming from the Baltic and going to Skaw). If you really wanted you could also go through the Lillebælt - no obvious benefit, but allowed...
@SrenBruunYes it would be great if you cover and other choke points
@AshortBeautyCrimea is Ukraine dude
@trezapoioiuyThe Kiel Canal does not go through Denmark, but Germany, Kiel is a german city.
@DerPanda93I'm sorry, but this is a dislike from me until you fix the map of Russia in the first section. It's like putting Austria as part of Germany because Hitler occupied it. It's ok to f*uck up, but you need to own up and fix it.
@r_rumenovWhat about the Tasman sea?
@SuperDaveMotorsportsInteresting. Yes, I'd appreciate a breakdown of the other choke points.
@bigsarge2085Why is it that many channels started marking Crimea russian? You either show what the rest of world considers as official borders, or go full russian way and add Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions into their border.
@MuseomanPaya Lebar Airbase was not built during the Vietnam War. Has nothing to do with the war. Unless the Brits who built it, built it to somehow support the French during their Indochina War.
@ronaldhee6608Say, what happened to the other guy that was doing a lot of the narration on this channel? He still in the picture?
@Dr.-DankI think talking more about Hormuz would've fulfilled the videos goal but you did talk about it so 🎉🎉 Great video
@dylreesYTNice
@marcusswedinBosphurus strait would be very interesting to discuss, definitely a more historically impactful strait, as well as its importance in modern geopolitics
@northernmetalworkerInteresting video, however, Crimea is part of Ukraine not russia !
@tim_d_jongCrimea is Ukrainian territory mate.
@RainforestdelightSo what will happens if any superpower will block any canal?
@theli3xThe comment about Greenland is false, as Denmark gained Greenland through its Union with Norway
@SigurdBigsetvery informative, keep released interesting context, love this channel, straight to the point
@arotoAdd Gibraltar to the list as well as a lesser extention of the Suez chain.
@Robert_StraderYou spelled Kiel Canal wrong...
@DocHoliday16Is this channel associated with Good Times Bad Times? Both channels just uploaded the same topic within 5 minutes of each other.
@HisShadow12i live in a Landlocked Country, i know the role of the ocean
@Proud-RNo way you uploaded this subject at the same time "Good Times Bad Times" channel uploaded a video about a similar topic (about a 2nd/new malacca strait)
