Hey guys, how are you guys in today's video we're going to talk about geopolitics but before that I want to ask you to subscribe to the channel like the video and activate the bell and now let's go to class well geopolitics was a concept created at the end from the 19th century this concept was created by George the german called friederich ratzel geopolitics basically it is an instrument of a country's foreign policy beauty is This foreign policy instrument It depends on some factors that countries or states Nations need to have to practice geopolitics so geopolitics
will basically depend on your territory guys here on the channel we have a very short class that explains exactly what the territory is in it you will have a great What is the territory the territory in geography is a very important word because the territory is where all human and natural activities take place, so it is where the industrial activities will take place, the policies developed as by the States the social actions the development of foreign policies so a territory is where geopolitics takes place and where the rulers will think right policies for their territory
thinking about other territories or other countries too well there are three main characteristics that will do with that a country already has a good policy or a geopolitics of lesser influence then the economy its military strength and its political influence regionally or Hey guys for a country to be able to practice a geopolitics it necessarily needs to have sovereignty over its territory you know that good sovereignty to make clear sovereignty is when a country has full powers over its territory good if there is this concept of sovereignty it means that during the period of world
history not all countries had control of their territory well people do you know that during the history of our planet there was the period of colonization and after the period of imperialism Even these two words and these two historical processes will basically differentiate the countries that have a geopolitics of more influence in the world and the countries that have a geopolitics of less influence in the world so for example this is one of the countries that was colonized So neither Brazil has always had sovereignty over its own territory Brazil only started to have sovereignty over
its territory at the end of the 19th century before that Brazil was a colony of Portugal, that is, those who had sovereignty over Brazilian territory were the Portuguese, that is, Brazilian territory belongs to the portuguese so a question for you which are the countries that have a geopolitics of greater influence in the world the countries that were colonized or odd accomplished or the countries that dominated this country will certainly the countries that dominated other countries So we will realize right by studying geopolitics and how these territories and the foreign policies of these countries influenced or
other that the countries that are more developed have more info and nowadays they are the countries that dominated the countries in the most backward period of our history Beauty so guys recapping what we said so far geopolitics was a concept created by the german geographer friderich Radisson beauty What makes a country have an influential and well-developed geopolitics are 3 characteristics, the main one What is the historical process of that country as a dominant country or was it a country dominated by a dominant country that dominated countries a more well-developed geopolitics beauty its military strength is
beautiful and consequently its economy has a well developed industry it manages to have good natural resources to apply this industry consequently it will have a better trade that is it will make more money right it has more bar power and in the world market beauty good guys now we will understand how geopolitics works these days beauty so we have already seen that the geopolitics is a form of foreign policy for countries well in the 21st century, it started, right, it started a process called globalization here on the channel, we have some classes that talk specifically
about this process of globalization, if you don't know what it is, go check it out look and come back here beauty good the globalization process right that started at the end of the 20th century at the beginning of the 21st century it strengthened some countries but we also see what other countries have in their economy in decline beauty good the countries that had their economy These were strengthened mainly by the dispute over territories, the dispute over the market, the dispute over influence around the world . of the 21st century we will observe here several conflicts
emerged or intensified during this process, we well know that ue in the whole world There is a great ethnic diversity that is to say there are several peoples with different cultures with different customs good beauty all human beings are different and are unevenly distributed across the planet And that means that each people will have a characteristic right And it will having a culture a way of living a way of organizing your society well we can take it here as for example the indigenous people of Brazil and they come to their city in one way and
we see it in another Beauty so guys thinking that the world has a great ethnic diversity this will also be one of the causes of several conflicts that occur throughout the good world here we are going to talk about the main conflicts in this class There are religious conflicts and conflicts over natural resources some religious conflicts happen when an ethnicity or a religious group ends disputing a territory or a space so that they can see who will dominate that space guys the movie Hotel Rwanda it will portray from a conflict that took place in the
territory of a country on the african continent between the Tutsi and hutus ethnicities these two ethnicities at that time were dispute is the same territory good this conflict killed a little more than 3 million tutsis in just three months that is we see that this conflict over territory motivated by the region will kill a lot of people and it will end up being common good beauty Following here guys is always going to let us observe guys that countries that have already been colonized or imperialisms will suffer a process of erasure of their customs, that is,
of their two their traditional customs of their religions a very clear example of this is what we can see within Brazilian territory the erasure of religions of African origins and the erasure of the customs of our native peoples the indigenous peoples is very common nowadays we have there the Quilombola communities and indigenous communities that are decreasing in Brazilian territory beauty, we are always you have to keep an eye on this erasure process guys, always good to make it very clear here, all ethnicities are valid, right, all kinds of religious intolerance of prejudice against any kind
of religion must be fought beauty what we have to do with the citizen is to respect all and any kind of custom, religion or ethnicity, well combined, now speaking of the dispute over natural resources, we will realize that natural resources are irregularly distributed throughout the World territory, this will influence the conflicts that countries will have between them because Professor, whoever it is . importance of these resources and brings to countries, for example, one of the natural resources that is most disputed in the world territory is oil , oil is concentrated mainly in the Middle East
region, we will see that during history, right in the middle of the 1990s 50 until today, many conflicts are going to happen because of the dispute for oil oil for those who do not you know, it's the energy matrix that, for example, generates gasoline, that is, oil, it is very important for our society and is also very disputed between countries and this will cause several conflicts in several countries beauty As I told you, the region that has it, right that has more of this natural resource is the Middle East region, which is also an extremely
conflicting region, good beauty, we are coming to the end of the class and we realized that the conflicts around the world and the geopolitics that each country will practice will influence the way how countries relate, we also saw in this class that countries that were colonized, right? that were dominant that dominated countries , will stand out in this process of having a good geopolitics, in order to have more influence between countries, so we always have to keeping an eye on this historical process that took place , the colonization process and the imperialism process, what we
will see that I just talked about here for example of the oil conflict is great world powers dominating territories of smaller countries with less influence is the case for example of the United States that dominated the territory the Christian for a long time beauty guys to close class I want to leave a reflection with you who are the causes of conflicts that occur in the world today I said here that religious conflicts cause wars better to think religious conflicts are the cause of war for example Christianity which is a religion and Candomblé they are the
ones that cause wars is written by example in the Bible that who is not a Christian should fight with people who do not follow their own religion not the causes of religious conflicts we are human beings right So guys when we talk about these conflicts we always have to think that these conflicts are produced by people and these people always own the economic and territorial politicians beauty I just spoke The air of oil is oil that causes an armed conflict, for example, it is oil that causes a conflict over territory, it is not the people,
it is the rulers, it is the heads of states, the presidents of the countries, so we will always be connected to this process that will cause the conflicts beauty remembering geopolitics it will be linked to the economy the military force and the historical process of the country beauty good guys That was our geopolitics class today hope you enjoyed it and see you more
