This is mesmerizing.
Think of all the strife and grief which produced those arbitrary changes.

“He [Satan] will set up a counter-Church which will be the ape of the Church because, he the devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the anti-Christ that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ. In desperate need for God, whom he nevertheless refuses to adore, modern man in his loneliness and frustration will hunger more and more for membership in a community that will give him enlargement of purpose, but at the cost of losing himself in some vague collectivity.”
“Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, and the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops.”
- Fulton Sheen

"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

neat!
That’s beautiful!
Sadly, it contains quite a few of errors. For example, it shows Germany conquering the Ukraine in 1906.
But it still gives a great sense of European history.
And poor Poland always getting clobbered. I see Napoleon.
I like the winking of the city states that became Germany.
Here’s the History of the World: Every Year.

Fascinating. Europe nearly became the north-west part of the Ottoman Empire. And the related video referred to by Scout shows how the Mongols conquered nearly the whole of the Eurasian continent. Only the “divine wind” kept them out of Japan, and I dare say, the Holy Spirit kept them from Europe.
It often frustrates me that I can’t keep track of more than a few major time periods of European history, and almost nothing of Eastern European history. This map at least makes me feel a bit better about that. So much going on.
Not quite accurate regarding Sweden. Poor Poland!
indeed – Poor Poland! I didn’t see Crimea change back to Russia at the end (or Eastern Ukraine)
Poland is blessed beyond words and also cursed, at the crossroads and with some of the most fertile land anywhere. Hence the chronic trampling.
Interesting but its also quite out of line with most of Europe being German after 1945 until about 1952. That’s a bit of a clanger to be honest.
The clock is offset a little, that’s all.
Now you see it, now you don’t! No wonder my Polish ancestors jumped ship! Very interesting.
This illustrates well that Italian history after the fall of Rome is a nightmare.
Neat and ominous. What/by whom is the music?
