Modern History of Europe Pt.1 - Countryballs

Part 2 (by @MattBroAnimations : • Modern History of... )
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.
- Because drawing a piece of art is so time consuming, I had to exclude most of the 1848 revolutions 💀

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 💀

[Click Bait]

Love how France just became an emotionless force that just slides on land

[Hrafneldr]

Power of Oignons

[serge lenders]

@Hrafneldryes power oignos

[PlanetBuster552]

0:37 That transition is dope as hell. The music, how France moves, it all lines up really well. Can’t get enough of it. Keep rewatching it.

[Ronny Joseph]

The Music is tge french milatary song: onion song

[T Mai]

it sounds like: oh f*ck. every second. it sound real good though.

[C4lico]

This takes "Every frame a painting" to a whole new level. Your video quality is unmatched anywhere else on youtube

[Kostas Perdikis]

*coughs in Icariaball*

[Twaterloo]

kaliningrad general

[CSTPball]

very bold claim, but I'll happily receive it!

[Averagegamerinschool89]

Honestly tho

[some means fish]

@CSTPball Unrelated question but would you like to play a game set in this period?

[Olhãoball]

Love how Portugal was the only one noticing France slowly transforming to normal France flag Also great work 👏👏👏👏

[Olhãoball]

Like my home country is Portugal and didint know my country was so caotic🙃

[DylanGTech]

@Olhãoball By American standards, if you’re in the continent of Europe, you live in a chaotic place lol.

[Gust_The_Man 8000]

@Olhãoball i also live in portugal

[David Burdeinii]

@Gust_The_Man 8000me too

[SM7673]

The animations are so smooth, insane work done in this video. Keep up, from France 🇫🇷🇫🇷

[François Cadieux]

Yes!

[Aniss Abed]

WE ARE HERE THE FRENCH’S

[Miguel Jorge]

Ok this is meme heaven, the person that made this deserves an Oscar 4:17

[Tuplapukki3000]

0:52 the way France just slapped Austria felt like a lvl 1 challenged a lvl 100

[Gaster000]

I am wondering how come you have less subscribers than and were inspired by Icariaball. There is a visible difference in quality, you having the lead. Your countryballs not only have more realistic shape, but also shading. Also, your commentary in the subtitles is a must-have while watching your videos. I just love them! Continue this great work, CSTPball!

[Ziad Atif]

This is some of the best countryball animation I've seen. Also, France slowly returning to its normal flag while europe argued was hilarious.

[CSTPball]

lmaoo thanks!

[DProMan]

@CSTPball AMONG US

[C R]

Well it's was not the normal flag because they weren't any flower of lys on it.

[Anson Ng]

@C R can you read English he said ‘returning to its normal flag’ not ‘returning from its normal flag’

[C R]

@Anson Ng my bad

[Finnie]

I love your art style, and these images at 3:11 were beautiful. Keep up with the good work

[Humor Me]

My favorite is when their at the table arguing and Britain is like "No no no. it was the winter, not you, you silly old donkey" and they all started fighting, I love how much personality they all have just in this scene alone, hope you continue to make more animations in the future!

[Zeech]

I love how fitting the music is at 3:08, while at 2:17 the same song also references the Battle of Waterloo. Nearly in sync with the video timeline. Very cool detail and song choice

[★𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐈★]

Hi what is song this 3:08

[Nafetz 16]

The animation quality is insane and the little details are great like Austria giving Venice to France instead of Italy.

[Le Napolitain]

My god you put so much effort in this video, it’s awesome Even the subtitles are great As a Frenchman, bravo (And yeah you should definitely patent the onion gas bomb idea)

[Ohio]

Eeeeee

[DaPizzaSnake]

4:51 note: austria thought Italy fought the war so badly they wanted to ceade their territory to France instead of italy as they thought Italy didn't deserve it.

[Izawa]

Certified italy moment

[TheAustrianAnimations87]

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.

[An Italian Theorist]

@Izawa considering in the first independence war France lost 7 battles in a row against Italian revoulotionaries I would suggest you shut that mouth before i get a motivation to revive Gari-baldi

[Cristyano]

@An Italian Theorist commento basatissimo

[Kamil Szadkowski]

@An Italian Theorist Garibaldi? Ok, calling Polish volunteers then.

[Nick Night]

This definitely deserves more attention. It's rare to find such good quality on KZbin these days.

[c k]

0:52 I love the detail that austria tries to attack France there but it was defeated easily at Wagram.

[Riley Rue]

2:16 I love how Prussia was so calm for a bit then got angry 😂

[Kali Yuga]

5:09 the attentio to detail is so good that he even recreated the real spanish crown (even tho in Spain the king does not wear a crown)

[blik blak]

I love how if you watch the video without subtitles it is a normal history video but when you turn on subtitles its the creator talking about onion gas bombs

[Netizpossible]

No one is mentioning it yet, but I love how the song used for France is the song about Austria not getting any onions.

[Doodledev Animations]

No onions for the Austrians.

[AyangChez]

I knew it sounds familiar

[Your Local Gamer]

I love onions, they are so tasty. (the first 2 lines for the song)

[WannabeHistorian692]

What’s it called?

[α-ω]

This is honestly one of the best videos with countryballs I've ever seen, and as an Italian i have to say that our wars of indipendence were really well done, keep it up👍

[Herzog]

It has always been interesting to me how Napoleon, although defeated, managed to plant the seeds that later killed Austria-Hungary. It seems to me that he had the last laugh after all

[A. Soraparu]

This was amazing. great moments outside of the humor, were how you depicted expansions and land swaps. As well as the transitions of flags from the monarchy to the republic and the napoleon empire. Great stuff. I look forward to more.

[Polish mapper]

honestly, as a fellow animator, you make amazing videos with incredulous quality. props to you, man.

[Ultimate Meow]

I love this. It has so many little details, and I got the War of 1864 reference as well!

[AyangChez]

The animation quality keeps getting better. Epic efforts and love put into this, keep it up bro! You always inspire me

[Salim Davis]

Nice job!!! Really well done! I really enjoyed the art style.

[Alex]

The mix between the animation, the quality and the humor makes this video a masterpiece!

[jayson trejo]

I love this animation and appreciate the animation time and effort to make an absolute piece of work. *just check the descrtption

[Anson Ng]

The Countryballs are so cute, it’s nice to see much awesome countryball channels rising! You deserve a million subs!

[ItzBEANS]

I like how in the hundred days Prussia comes in time and "shoots" Napoleon as they basically did IRL in Waterloo

[Possessed Potato Bird Official]

4:50 i love how much effort and research you put into this, and I thought it wouldn't get any better after seeing the animation

[Bon Bonne Bonjour!]

I absolutely cannot wait for part 2

[John Van Johnson]

4:41, I like how the barrel for the gun is wooden, and the wood parts are metal

[Homophobic GeoTuber [PAKISM & SAUDISIM]]

so it's technically the opposite

[chrisdude119]

this wa s a beautiful countryball collab, spanning most of modern history's early stages, from the napoleonic wars, to the aftermath, to the italian unification and more... the artwork was beautiful, as every countryball was nicely drawn with good face expressions and smooth animation movements... incredibly good work, keep it up!

[viet cong]

Fun fact: After the second defeat of the french empire, napoleon was kept on an island guarded by 2 boats and like 200 soldiers just for one man. And when he died he was put in several coffins in case he escapes from death i guess

[Willimeister]

Definitely one of the most smoothest and simultaneously most underrated Countryball animation channel out there

[TheKaiser]

Absolutely love your animation style

[Build]

Man, definitely has the potential. Humour, quality and information combined into some countryball animation, love it.

[Crownten]

Wow this is great being an animator the easing and easing out is very nice to look at and the shading and the colors are perfect amazing work!

[SergoDobro]

Wow! That is one of the best countryballs I've seen! The style, animation, comedy are all on the highest level! How haven't youtube recommended me it earlier?!

[Sikhistani productions]

I like how Austria chases Italy with a fly swatter but France chases them with a electric fly swatter

[Conner Owens]

The fact that Prussia said "Can we just first Saxony settle" was definitely a key, since that is actually how German grammar works. "Können wir uns zuerst Sachsen niederlassen"

[CSTPball]

I'm actually learning German loll but I still dont understand all the complicated German sentence structures

[Conner Owens]

@CSTPball Sehr Interessant. I also learned German, so I know how it's like with the difficulties of grammatical cases, reflexive pronouns and more

[Zooollieg]

I love how when France puts on the hat, the French onion song starts playing

[Streety]

Holy crap, this video is so damn well made. The animation quality improves more and more every time! Good job on this.

[Lebanonball #flyhighTechnoblade]

its so good that it became your pfp

[Streety]

@Lebanonball #flyhighTechnoblade exactly.

[Gust_The_Man 8000]

Why is your profile pic so god damn creepy?

[Lebanonball #flyhighTechnoblade]

@Gust_The_Man 8000 he changed it

[Soviet Recycling Bin]

This is honestly one of the best if not THE best polandball animation I've ever seen, this is awesome!

[Nico Cola]

Your videos are just the bests, especially this one :) You're definitely one of my top countryball animators now

[Scp 035]

Wow, nice job!! Many effort put in. Keep up the good work!!!!

[Theodor]

the animation is so smooth i love it, definitely looking forward to the next part(s)

[Odah]

That's insane work, diserves to be recognised in the entire world.

[BaffledWaffle]

The wait has ABSOLUTELY paid off. This is such a great video. The flow is amazing, the jokes are intresting, the effects are so smooth, none of them feel choppy, everything is just great! You are definetly up there with taco boy, Kaliningrad general and icariaball. Great content!

[BaffledWaffle]

I didnt even mention how accurate it is. Ive always wanted a video like this where the events of european history are portrayed like this.

[Tukeuvian]

@BaffledWaffle You're speaking straight facts

[foakjljrwajkl tawtrawtwa]

This is true. For some reason the wait was ONLY 3 months. Thats short compared to other countryball animators

[最佳玩家]

I love this so much, it’s so cute! France with the napoleon hat looks adorable!

[Тарас Климишин]

I can only say, this is a growing countryball youtuber that is bound to reach the leagues.

[Damian Bonaparte]

Para cuando segunda parte? Que es muy hermoso y gracioso al mismo tiempo estos videos poniendo la comedia junto con la historia de una manera perfecta por eso a mí pregunta¿Cuando la segunda parte?

[AyangChez]

0:56 I love how britan is neutral and not helping his allies

@Waulie Palnuts your flag in 1056😆

[Waulie Palnuts]

@samuel 1066 yuno 🤣🤣 Warra not siding with the Nazi’s that is for Vichy France!!🫵🫵

[samuel]

@Waulie Palnuts we too

[SpiffyGonzales]

Honestly surprised to see Prussia get the credit for beating Napoleon in the final Napoleonic war. Normally people forget about Blücher and just give the credit to Wellington.

[Somerball]

This video is one of the single most beautiful pieces of art out there, the quality and accuracy is just astounding

[Pyroraptor 🇪🇸]

¡Esto es una maravilla audiovisual! ❤️

[LondonRaptor -]

For those that haven't watched with subtitles yet you should do it, it is amazing

[𝕋𝕓𝕘𝕠𝕖𝕤]

Your by far the best animator I have ever seen the hand drawn style is so good can’t get enough love your vids

[De Gaulle]

very nice video showing all major episodes of the time. very fun to see

[Antonio Albano]

That's the best countryball animation i've seen so far. That's literally a masterpiece. Ur so underrated.

[Tukeuvian]

This is incedible! It covers so many events and countries. I'm excited for the next part but take the time you need. (Also I guessed correctly, it had the Onion song)

[CSTPball]

its a collab project , so MattbroAnimations is making part 2

[Tukeuvian]

@CSTPball Okay👍

[Alison James]

@CSTPball Channel link?

[Lorenzo Corti]

Pls do more other parts, it is really well done, historically accurate and at the same time hilarious too. Really great job.

[Li Hong]

my man spent 264 plus hours to produce this masterpiece. You won my respect and admiration, I wish you all the power and will to continue this splendid series. Take your time king, you are da best

[Noname Mapping 🏳️‍🌈⃠]

Are we gonna talk about how Prussia's flag design is flippin us off?!

[Ant UnderExist]

This Was a Legendary Experience When German Empire Said "Its Guten Tagging Time" Touched Me From The Heart

[History Enthusiast]

Love how you used music from the “waterloo” movie, a movie that depicts the crushing defeat of napoleon at Waterloo.

[Jamaicanball 62]

man, it's so good to see you back around again posting detailed content that are very enjoyable

[SyntaXenon]

this channel is so underrated, one of the best countryball animations for sure, right next to kallingrad general and Icariaball, good job!

[DylanGTech]

The Denmark bit was hilarious. Also the fact that Bismarck more or less united Germany using Napoleon III’s ego is really something

[No Idea]

To be honest Napoléon III wasn't really willing to go to war, it's the republic that pushed him to do so

[abstract maniac]

This animation is just so crisp congrats to making it so polished.

[VALENTIN]

Probably the best animation I have ever seen, this is historical accurate and also very well made, beautiful 👍🏻👍🏻❤❤❤

[Verby.gondelbahn]

I love austria's face expression at the final scene 😂😂. I don't know why h'es looking like that but he's not having a good time 😭😭

[Mr spoon]

4:58 for some reason I found the Italian ball eating the tiny Austrian ball cute.

[▪︎ hollowsapien ▪︎]

The squash and stretch was so precious

[Mr spoon]

@▪︎ hollowsapien ▪︎ yes

[Martin Lebreton]

I love it, the animation skill here is really great!

[Keyboard Warrior]

extremely hot take but is anybody else disappointed that this is a collab? i say this because this animation is probably the best countryballs animation out there. i cant even put it into words, everything looks perfect. this is peak countryballs, i havent seen anything like it. you can pause the video at any time, and you would get yourself a renaissance painting. the physics on the countryballs is dynamic, they all fit in to where they are, they all interact with their environment... its beautiful. not even mentioning the vibrant personality that was given to each countryball, and the incredible sound design. CSTPball has poured their heart soul into this video and deserves 10x the prestige and visibility they have now, for this one piece of art alone. and i feel bad about dissing the other guy, but his content just doesn't hold up to this quality. i don't think anyone else could produce something of this caliber. i would give money to see another 5 minutes and 46 seconds of this, about the world wars and the cold war, but i dont think we are ever going to get that. i sincerely hope MattBroAnimations proves me wrong, however. CSTPball must see something in him.

[foakjljrwajkl tawtrawtwa]

Extremely true, I just dont feel like the second guy has the quality. Well most countryball animators dont animate frame by frame so it is hard to find someone like CSTPball who would animate like this, in such a fluid way.

[Me]

The fact that France actually stood a fighting chance against the entirety of Europe astounds me

[samuel]

destroyed 5 coalitions alone

[Michigan Boi]

Amazing! Just Amazing! The attention to detail is amazing! So entertaining too!! Keep up the good work!

[Precisebee]

The two french people talking about home and loot was so funny lol Funny animations bro!

[Luke P.]

This animation is truly sublime, the motions, the art style, everything, It's perfect! C :

[gab La degz]

Love your work man ! That is huge ! Would be very pleased to see the next part with your animation and point of view even if the part in your french channel was also great and funny. Hope you are enjoying life and what you are doing ! Kisses from France !

[gab La degz]

Friend* channel Not french 😅

[TaZoom Turret]

@gab La degz You could just edit your comment

[Crusader 1083]

Absolutely beautiful, cant wait to see more!

[Layton Robinson]

Man i love portugal in this animation if only it was a plushie one that you could squeeze and it would be like a stress ball also the prussia ball is art it is so good for a handdrawn prussia flag

[DeLtA sPaCes]

This is one of the best country balls animation i have ever seen. Great job man.

[Poorlay]

This is the most accurate country balls battle I've ever seen

[RI-Ball👑]

Как единственный русский тут, заявляю лучшая анимация по кантриболам с шутками и историей! Very Nice

[Югославский партизан Маршал тито]

Ты не единственный

Видео зациклено на Франции и Италии

[RI-Ball👑]

@Enitivy но все-же

[5postman_russian5]

This animation - so historic, vibe, cute, funny at the same time. This is great!

[Samdaman]

This is an amazing animation! Keep it up man!

[Язагит Лера]

Какие приятные анимации. Очень нравится смотреть, продолжай в том же духе❤

[King Extorp]

Probably the best countryballs animation i've seen, this was S M O O T H

[Crab-Lizard Animations]

If you have a sense of good animation you got to have been subscribing right since the beginning.

[Tsar Chaotic Chaos]

I love the niche little details, such as Austria giving France the bit of Italy instead of Italy, and Italy getting it anyway

[Soro Pintoresco]

one of the greatest animations i have ever seen, cant wait for the second part

[GBY13]

I just found your channel while watching history videos of France. This was a great video and I'm going to watch more of your content. A sub from me 😀

[Doolerz #]

4:18 was the best part in my opinion, just the music and sudden appearance was enough for me to burst out laughing
