🐇 Which country is the "land of the rabbits"?
🇩🇪 Why does Germany have so many different names?
🇳🇱 Where do the Dutch actually live?
🇭🇷 What links Croatians and neckties?

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.
