...Since I didn't know how this video was made, I assumed that the timeline was linear
and based the time calibration on Napoleon's Campaigns (apogee in 1812 at 02:33) and Hitler's invasion of Poland (1939 at 03:04).

Looks to be reasonably accurate...and fascinating...for Obama and all his "we don't recognize...." rhetoric shows just how malleable the borders of Europe have been over the past 1000 years.....

If there is one constant about Europe it is that the country’s borders that comprise it are not..

Someone really thinks the US can fix this?
Not me.
They are going to fight, steal and do what they have always done.
Not one postage stamp to stop it.
Of course I don’t have a free phone so my vote does not count.

To: RoosterRedux
No land truly changed hands at Agincourt.
The result of Henry's campaigns in France was that he forced Charles VI to make him rightful heir to the French throne.
However, Henry V died several months before Charles VI did.
Henry VI was only a few months old, and Charles VII, the son of Charles VI, successfully contested the succession - with the help of St. Joan of Arc.
Agincourt was very exciting, but it ultimately changed nothing.

Forgot to add: Even if Henry V had outlived Charles VI and, by some luck, had managed to assert his title to the French throne, France and England would still have been two separate kingdoms.
He would have been King Henry V of England and Henry II of France, just as King James I of England was also King James VI of Scotland.

Also, it didn't show the English acquisition of Gibraltar and Minorca in the Wars of the Spanish Succession and subsequent loss of Minorca to France at the start of the Seven Year's War.
But most fascinating of all were the tiny principalities which became modern Germany.
