I came back from 2027 and I can tell you that it didn't work

The Germans had quite a lot of interests in that part of the world and to this day Lutheranism is a very popular form of Christianity in that area and now we know how it got there!

Geographically it is part of the Soloman islands, but it was politically included in PNG .When it was fighting the PNG they used coconuts to power there cars as they were blockaded by PNG and had no oil.

It will be interesting to see how their society fares in the next few decades. It seems their petition for independence means they have a cohesive sense of themselves relative to their neighbors. I hope they can find a way to live harmoniously.

If you watch the war history channels you know Bouganville at the last campaign in the Solomons Islands after starting at the southern end of the chain with Guadalcanal

Finally there is an island where we can send all the bogans.

Bougainville's first name is Louis (pronounced LOU-ee), but the way you pronounced it (lou-EECE) is the Spanish version, which is spelled Luis.

There was one mistake. You said that “Germany held onto the island until after they were defeated in World War 1.” Australian forces captured Bougainville island in December 1914.

Little critique: Instead of claiming That Louis, btw the -s is silent, -Antoine de Bougainville "was the first the first European to visit island", it would be safer to ad "as far as we know".

All I know about Bougainville, I learned from Blacksheep Squadron

Paused video: My guess for country which took control would be Germany.

If that is correct then it is not that impressive to know this as it is logical considering the colonial history of Papua New Guinea.

Edit: I am a middle aged Australian who knows our colonial history and I remember when PNG became independent. Those of us who watch/listen to the ABC (the equivalent of the BBC) also are aware of the long running independence movement.

For me its better for them to join the solomon islands…just unite with them since you guys are one archipelago…its way better and more beneficial
