In this episode of General Knowledge, I reimagine Asia’s borders, following the same concept as my Europe video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CX83aqZiugA). This scenario is purely fictional, made only for fun and reflection on how current borders could hypothetically evolve. Starting with Cyprus, I suggest reunification of the island, moving on to Turkey, where I introduce a united Kurdistan spanning parts of Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Iran. The Caucasus sees Armenia annexing Nakhichevan and Georgia reclaiming Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Iran loses its Kurdish and Azerbaijani-majority regions, with Azerbaijan gaining significant territory. In the Middle East, I propose a reimagined Syria, a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine, a partition of Yemen, and a union between Jordan and Iraq’s Sunni areas. Central Asia is transformed into a Turkic federation, while Afghanistan and Pakistan are reorganized into ethnic states like Pashtunistan and Balochistan. India sees the independence of regions like Kashmir and a united Bengal. For China, I mention the recognition of an independent Taiwan, plus a return to independence for Tibet, with a free Uyghuristan as well, and an expanded Mongolia. Korea unifies, Japan loses its Ainu regions, and Southeast Asia largely remains stable, with minor changes like a sovereign Rohingya state and a Papuan nation.

Important to, again, reinforce that these 'Fixing Borders' videos aren't to be taken seriously. They are done in the tone of a joke and have only the purpose of making us think about current borders and how they could or could NOT change.
I'm not sure if I will get an answer for it. But, I wish to know how to create these kinds of maps.
Only 1 minute to see that you are only a simple Turk hater who shares his dreams of the night.
Greeks, Armenians & Iranians shit into theirs pants in expectation to lose parts of their homeland,
Syria & Irak accept already turkish dominance or rule as 2nd best future option…
and you show us that Turkiye could lose in West & East?? Really? Haha! 😂How childish!
What the fock is this gay map
Change the headline into:
"Soul masturbation – My fantasy borders of last night!"
So basically some more-ons with money told you to dance like a baboon and you did what they said by throwing money on your face!
Bro is just anti India
India should go back to pre Mughal era. That’s that natural state of the sub continent before any foreign influences.
United Bengal would've been a great country ❤
Seriously people, chill out! This is a guy who likes maps and just pictures what it might be like if you put some parts together and separate others. I often do the same thing, but just in my mind, not in a video. Like me he probably doesn't live anywhere near so there is no way he can do a precise cultural and religious-based video taking every single bit into account. Just watch this video and learn some general knowledge about general (not detailed) things in the region. I for one learned a lot just by the historical maps. And so what if not everything is correct to details? It's called "general knowledge" for a reason.
"United Bengal" bruh the northeast indian are different from bengali it would make more sense if it was a unified northeast or smth lile that
12:11 giving that much of land to Mongolia wouldn’t make sense considering the ethic Han majority. Considering you done the same with other countries in the Middle East regarding to the ethnic majority
Bro i have a same shirt
Himachal & haryana jammu west Bengal Assam tripura sikkim are fully Hindu majority states in India they are not seperate
3:03:02 Bro you seriously have no knowledge on history
Azerbaijan has been always part of Persia and thus it should be part of Iran as well🇮🇷
No Borders No Nation! Die Arbeiter haben kein Vaterland!
do not make a Video about Asia ever again
bro is creating conflicts instead of fixing them 😭😭🙏🙏
Yo forgot greater Nepal .Nepal lost its territory in sugauli treaty with Britain.
Everyone is raging guys chill. Half of them are indians anyway
Only little 1 point you have forgotten to paint:
The overtake of land to Euphrat in the east.
Plus maybe the desert to Nil.
Here we go: The map of the long term plan of a Greater Israel!
Good, but Kurdistan stretches further west than shown on this map.
When you heard about Turkic Union,
you also know who will lead them.
Why you do not tell?
bengalis and punjabis dont want to live with bangladeshis and pakistanis. despite cultural and ethnic similarities they hate each other because of separate religion
😂 technically these are fun and suppose to be good borders.
A handful million Mongolians in the middle of huge borders,
where you need luck to see humans outside the capital, could,
but will not look to south. The opposite happens slowly:
China`s economy takes step by step more and more the control of south Mongolia.
I don’t think expanding Mongolia like that is a good idea.
The territory is called “Inner Mongolia”, and although there are more Mongols in Inner Mongolia than the sovereign state, the area has a super majority of Han Chinese. So, this expansion wouldn’t be the best move.
Haryana is not a punjabi state it's hindi state should included in India ❤
Also bengali language is one of the most important language of India so west Bengal and Sikkim should also in India ❤😊
And also kutch area of Gujarat should join sindhu desh😊
definitely support a united bengal
As a Bangladeshi, this does put a smile on my face 🙂👏🇧🇩
Did you even try to research about why India was partitioned into two states. There is no way you could add Punjab from India and Punjab from Pakistan into a single country. Also States of Haryana and Himachal Pradesh are completely different from Punjab
omg read a book or two 😭 calling tajiks turk is crazy too 😭🤣 no fycking way bro 😭😭 and the blatant turkish hate omgggg what have we done to you that made u sad 😭😭😭😭😭
the ragebait slop content is boring never appear on my timeline again bye
"Greater Bengal " that's what we need 🫣🫣
