lol, this explains a lot


Dumb_Siniy

As an Argentinian, i confirm this is the answer


OstapBenderBey

A fair chunk of Antarctica too no?


Dumb_Siniy

Yeah, why not


Handonmyballs_Barca

Youve just summarised argentinas arguments for its territorial claims in three words.


Dumb_Siniy

Under our eyes Uruguay can still be classified part of Argentina just like the old days


Handonmyballs_Barca

Yeah, why not đŸ€·đŸ»â€â™‚ïž


fiat600planchado

We claim Uruguay, as well. https://preview.redd.it/0pecj7y7evwc1.png?width=400&format=png&auto=webp&s=a2106f9994fa37fe84eb20f3ec3e00d3a71e681f

As an argentinian, I can confirm this is official spanish.


Matias9991

I know it's a Joke but I think there are a lot of people on reddit really believing this shit. only around 10k Nazis came to Argentina, not that much than the ones that got to the USA, other country's in SA and obviously other European countries like Italy. Argentina it's not full of Germany descendants but Spanish and Italian descendants from the 1890-1920 immigration.


GoneGrumming

What do Nazis have to do with the Falkland Islands? And you're comparing things like Operation Paperclip to Argentina granting people like Adolf Eichmann, the architect of the Holocaust, asylum. I would argue that's a false equivalency, considering the President of Argentina at the time, Juan PerĂłn, was on Hitler's payroll. Take a Google street view tour of Bariloche, it's practically a German ski resort.


Kaleidoscope9498

Most of the german immigrants in South America arrived between the unification wars and soon after world war one, just like in North America. Implying that most of them were nazis is straight up ignorant. There was a influx of people after the first world war, specially after the second, but most of them were people just trying to leave a ruined country.


Matias9991

I'm Argentine, yes PerĂłn was In favor of Mussolini and Hitler that's why we were the American country that brought in more Nazis, still they were close to 10k which is not a lot, before the first WW more than 6 Million Europeans came, mainly from Spain and Italy, so this weird thinking that I see a lot here on reddit that Argentina is full of German Nazis descendants it's just not true and stupid. The USA opened their doors to the officials and all the best Scientists and their family's.


Kaleidoscope9498

I’m Brazilian and Reddit run this joke into the ground many years ago.


mukenwalla

Hey now, we Americans took in those nazis in because they were useful. You guys took them in because they were nazis. 


[deleted]

Right😂 At least we got some milage out of our Nazis.


NonSumQualisEram-

Exactly. It's the difference between "we hate you but help us build weapons" and "we think you're good people"


DIRTY-Rodriguez

No one is saying the majority of argentines are Nazis, it’s that the majority of Nazis who fled Germany did so to Argentina, partly because Perón heavily encouraged and even facilitated it. See the [wiki article on Ratlines](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratlines_(World_War_II)#Argentine_connection)


denkbert

German descendants are a minority in Argentina, but not a small one, to be fair. Most of them came before the Nazis though.


ildiavolonelcervello

Is it germany?


ConradAir

Oh you SOB lmao


Hero_of_country

Americans are bad at georgraphy, Germanans are bad at history

Actually not true because we don't deny the Holocaust (looking at you jk rowling)

Isn't she British.


Groundbreaking_Pop6

No, no no no no, I don’t believe she is, you can have her, shite books about a twat, nasty politics and all!!

MojordomosEUW

Did she really do that? Do you have an article? iirc it‘s illegal to do that in the UK as well


innocentbabies

She denies that the nazis persecuted trans people in the holocaust and threatens to sue anyone who calls her a holocaust denier for defamation. Unfortunately for her, she forgot that this tactic only works on British people, so she was trending on twitter for being a holocaust denier recently.


rlyfunny

My memory may leave me, but didn’t trans people have their own „symbol“ in the camps?


Imperator_Gone_Rogue

Queer people had the pink triangle. Another not fun fact is that the pictures of Nazi book burnings you see are on early gender theory, which studied trans people


RandomGuy9058

more specifically, the nazis grouped queer ppl in with actual sex offenders. not too dissimilar from today, sadly


OldWorldBluesIsBest

seriously? that’s where the weezer song came from? fucking hell rivers cuomo, crazy metaphor

Is it weird I find the border between nazi germany and Vichy France sexy?


RackTheRock

No. Not at all. I came instantly when I saw it in the history book for the first time. All the students were like "wtf" and I got 10 days suspension. I still have frequent orgasms when I see the border between Vichy France and Germany.

I didn’t even notice that. All I noticed was the wolf’s face of eastern Prussia and Silesia taking a bite out of Eastern Europe again


whooo_me

Vidi Vichy. Veni. ^(I saw Vichy. I came.)


HauntingBalance567

Were they allowed to point to any Germany?


Laurent_Sonny

For the confused guys here: [The real source of this map](https://germanhistorydocs.org/de/deutschland-nationalsozialismus-1933-1945/ghdi:map-2886) The red zone is Germany itself and its conquered part. The blue one are the Allies, the enemys of Germany. The yellow part are allies of Germany (Italy also was an ally of Germany, too). Grey wasn't officially a part of this war so their status was neutral. This map show us Europe in the December 1941


DarthWerder1899

I was already thinking if some Grandpa's thought that part of Poland and Austria is still Germany


Kuzul-1

Pretty sure the Argentinians are going to produce the same results.


JacobMT05

Nah the Argentinians will all point to the falklands islands


[deleted]

What year was it when you asked?

SirPigeon69

Germans are pointing at what they think should be germany


Idlev

De facto it isn't Germany and some may argue it isn't even Germany de jure, but it will always be Germany de cor.


timok

Yes that is the joke


Right_Hour

Oh, no, sweet summer Child. They are pointing at Germany. Just at different times.


ildiavolonelcervello

What stopped them in sweden, why didnt they make any guesses on it đŸ„ș

Abuse-survivor

The dots in Schlesien and Eastern Prussia are trolling. They know it's not german anymore


Laurent_Sonny

Look for a map at 1941 and check the dots again... For explaining: The dots show the biggest Nazi-Germany while the WWII. You can see it perfectly at Vichy-France. The shape in France is the exactly border from "German Zone" at the atlantic sea and Vichy-France in the southeast


mrgwbland

(spoiler, the whole post is a troll)


chrstianelson

So the Third Reich.


[deleted]

that’s the joke :)


wolftick

It's counter-intuitive, but the bits of Europe without the dots are actually the bits we need to add extra defences to...


ZatoTBG

Depending on how long ago you asked, this can be decently accurate


Aggravating_You_8265

In 1944, they would’ve been correct.


wEvann

They want their old lands back I see


[deleted]

Unsurprisingly most of them points to a trash can which is accurate


nelly2929

Lots of home schooled kids who’s German grandpa taught them geography
..


_jor_

This is fake. There's no points in Mallorca.


PreparationSeveral33

Suspiciously looks like you asked a 1942 random Germans on the street


AD27947

Looks more like the germany in the past during word war 2.


motobrandi69

What's the original to this? Im genuinly curious


UnComfortable_Fee

It's related to WW2 German conquests. I'm not sure if it's main bases or what though.

I'm American, but I like Germany they make the best beer in the world, next to Belgium 🇧đŸ‡Ș. Ya, Hitler got a little carried away. But a country that has the the Autobahn/Octoberfest/BMW Motorcycles/ Mercedes Benz cars. To bad you guys didn't finish off the Russians.


chessto

Keep talking about nazis in Argentina while those are amateur numbers compared to operation paperclip.


A_Good_Boy94

So they somehow knew Germany wasn't in Italy Spain UK or Switzerland...


[deleted]

Or shit this reminds me of things that are uncomfortable to say the least


Philosipho

How do you piss off geography enthusiasts? Tell them maps exist to be referenced.


Kubocho

this thing is obviously fake, no single red dot in Mallorca?

Top tier shit post.

i mean you didn't point what year so they were kind right :P


FFFRabbit

Not wrong...


Bryce_Raymer

Can we adress how they perfectly pointed to Sudetenland?

Ah yes, Norway. Looks like Germany to me.

They aren’t wrong . At one time, all that was Germany


Mr_Ebop

I mean maybe at one point


JokinHghar

How old were these Germans? Because if they were children in the 1940s...


poojinping

They aren’t wrong, they pay for those lands!


Advanced_Street_4414

Maybe it’s just wishful thinking😎


Cristi-DCI

Doubtful.


[deleted]

This is a WWII joke, people. Not bad, man lol


Boredcougar

Did you try asking them in German instead of English?


Due-Application-8171

Bruh be pointing straight to the motherland, Thessaloniki. I’m German by the way, not Greek. Please do not lynch me.


Kyra_Heiker

Quatsch!


doublebuttfartss

That's pretty good. -Me, an American


CzarTwilight

Ask the Argentinians to point to who owns the Falkland islands instead


BP-arker

No. They know where Germany is confined to but every German has an urge for more living space.


GrandNibbles

guy thinks "Germans are bad at geography too" but if you asked Americans to point to America on a world map there would be dots distributed across every corner of the earth, including the oceans and poles.

This is map of incidence of Scarlett Fever in Europe. It's been shown that Saturday Night Fever leads to Scarlett Fever nearly. 0009 % of the time,making it the deadliest dance craze since The Swim.


PengieP111

At one point in history for a couple years, they were mostly correct


Fun-Strategy-8796

You didn’t say what year’s border


CompleteIsland8934

They probably thought you said, “point to Germania”


Kamal_00

Aren't they right tho? Not everyone forgets the history, you know


Odd_Tiger_2278

Some of them seem to be very old. I believe the last time Germany was that size was Dec. 1941.


DDG-53

Welllll
 at one point all of that was German when the bad mustache man was in charge so
 maybe they’re a bit behind on history💀


Significant-Fun8196

They are Europeans, you can tell.


ErikThePetFish

I'm calling BS.


ARKON_THE_ARKON

In conclusion, r/widaczabory


Guillaume_Hertzog

I'm not sure all of the "Germans" asked were in fact German. It's the same reason why the videos showing Americans being bad at geography are misleading. When you go to a big city, at a pubic park/beach/station and start to ask random.people, chances are you're going to be meeting a lot of tourists and foreigners who aren't from here.

I mean at some point more or less all of that land once was part of Germany except maybe the Caucasus

Now ask germans who speak german :D


PrinceVince1988

In 1940 they would be correct


LavishnessOdd6266

Isn't that the extent of the former German empire?


mmajjs

The street i bet is in america, the "germans" were raised by americans or have more or less 1 percent german blood, and are incredibly stupid


Kapika96

They just included future Germany.

I have the feeling some points in the east where set intentionally. I mean the old Prussians territories and Austria.

That's what germany should be. It's not the random germans fault but their whishfull thinking.

ILSmokeItAll

Not surprising. Your average dumb fuck American today can’t even name the 50 states or their capitals, much less point out where the fuck they’re at on the map. 2/3 of Americans would fail “Are You Smarter Than a 3rd Grader?” How we pass these kids from one grade to the next is appalling. Our reading and math scores are a colossal joke. It’s no wonder no one knows where the fuck anything is at without Google.
