Which Part Of New Guinea Is Papua?

I hope the video was not too dense or a tad lacking in the explanation of names, like I said at the start this was more of a general explanation as oppose to just names. Next video won't be a country name I promise!

Its surprising that the Europeans found New Giunea, yet didn't discover Australia for many years later

It's cool that you made this video because it's unusual to hear about that island. Fun fact: there are hundreds of separate languages and ethnic groups on the island!

That sounds nearly as confusing as the regional divisions in my homeland of the Caucasus mountains (specifically northern end). I would LOVE if you could do a video on that. You, sir, have earned my subcription with the quality work you put in for the videos I have seen so far. Cheers!

There's also another name used in Indonesia. Irian, that means "rising sun". We used that name up to 2008.

I Love this video, I can used to explain where I come from because is the most common question for me when I'm abroad. Because mostly People don't know where is PAPUA and why it, s part of Indonesia. Most People know is Indonesian People is like most Asian they don't know Papuan also Indonesian. Therefore, as Papuan I highly appreciate and thanks a lot for this video.

I'm from Indonesia and this video is very insightful! This video should be on every geography class in my country lol. And yes, at least in Indonesia it's pronounced PA-POO-A

I liked the "The Great Gatsby" reference when referring to the 1920's.

This is only a part of German New Guinea. It's called Kaiser-Wilhelmsland.

I pride myself on being someone who watches tons of videos like this, but this is one of the first that completely took me off guard and intrigued me. I had never wondered why Papua New Guinea had the prefix 'Papua'. I had always just taken it for face value as I taught myself the countries. Cheers!

I lived there only a year and an half, but it's "PAH-pua" (accent on the first syllable.
