Modern History of Europe Pt.1 - Countryballs

Part 2 (by @MattBroAnimations : • Modern History of Euro... )
3 and a half months in the making, and its finally done! As you can see, within this 3 months I have improved alot, and as you may notice, some of the earlier scenes looks like shite compared to the later ones.

Corrections / extra info: (thanks to the comments that pointed it out!)
-Russia burnt Moscow, its capital is St.Petersburg, not Moscow.
-The lost of Napoleon was not directly caused by "General Winter". in fact, Russia's weather wasn't even at its coldest when Napoleon and his troops left Russia. The deaths are mainly caused by disrupted supply lines, Russian assaults, the lack of forages(food), and diseases.
-Prussia wanted to unite all German states, not all German speaking countries. Unifying all the German states was called the "Little Germany solution," while unifying the German speaking areas was the "Greater Germany solution." Prussia didn't go with the Greater solution, because that meant annexing Austria, Czechia, and Slovenia, which will tip Europe's balance of power, and thus turn other European countries against Prussia.
- I forgor the Crimea war 💀
Time spent: 264 hrs 17 min

We Austrians repelled their invasion at Custoza and absolutely trashed their superior navy at Lissa, so we thought we shouldn't give an incompetent opponent any land. France on the other hand actually managed to beat us at Solferino in 1859, even if the real reason was actually for non-French intervention in this war.

France is basically the true final boss of continental europe with half the histories of european nations being alliances trying to stop france from dominating em all. France won 109 out of the 168 major conflicts since 387 BC alongside 10 draws and 49 losses. Current ideas of france in the Anglosphere is because the 49th one happened to be World War 2.
