Cool video shows the changing borders of Europe over 1000 years

Crazy how empires rose and fell and how things we think of as so set in stone didn't even exist a few hundred years ago. Germany is younger than the United States.
And man the Polish-Lithuanian league used to be badass.
What borders surprised you?

So wait, Ukraine was never really a country except for a blip in the early 1900s and then again for the last 30 years or so?

Take a look at a map of the Middle East 1900. Not a single country today existed then.
And yet there is one country that is singled out for its right to exist and whose inhabitants are called colonizers.
Things change. Every country today was birthed from war and human migration. Nothing is static or the way things should be.

The Cossacks, IIRC, fled from Polish-Lithuanian rule and settled in the badlands, mixing with leftovers from the Mongol invasion.
Great video on them
The question is whether a place is the established borders or the people settled there.
I mean really that's one of the reasons borders change. When the people in a place no longer identify with their rulers.

What’s up with the water situation at the bottom right of the map? Huge ocean gets a lot smaller and then splits into two separate bodies of water. And water comes and goes over and over. How did that much land split the ocean in two?

Look closer. They put a kingdom in blue. Poor contrast choice and then it's taken over and you can see the two bodies of water again.
ETA: the kingdom of Georgia.
Bunch of bluenecks

America is fortunate if we can keep it together.

I mean we aren't very old, wiped out most of our competitors, and got into empire late in the game at with a distinct industrial and military advantage.
We played on relatively easy mode

Wasn't the Polish-Lithuanian league once considered a third major league?

The Roman Empire under Trajan was massive!

We won't.
Probably like most all of citizens believe that their nation is invincible. Until it's not.
We're big and powerful. And have been all of our lives.
Unfortunately, the popularity contest that we call elections doesn't seem to be the best way to choose our representatives and leaders. And even if it were, we've let the oligarchs buy them out.
The information age could give us hope, unless it overtakes us as well.

Turkey just hopped up in this bitch in 1908.

That music is sure obnoxious. And how about that 300 year old Crimean kahnate?
