Apologies if this has been posted before.

Completely awesome time-lapse of 1000 years of changing European borders.
I don't think it is 100% accurate but cool nonetheless:

Which of them three?

That wasn't 1000 years, more like 300.

The entire concept. 3 separate nations with very little in common, 1 of which (Austria) had been directly saved from Ottomans occupation by Poland just 50 years ago, collaborate to attack and split up a foreign nation. How many such examples can we think of it.

It's Poland! Now Prussia! Now Poland again!
That was fascinating to watch. I cheered when Italy finally showed up whole.

What, Poland got a lobby arm here? What about the numerous other countries who do not even exist today?

Also, from this video, Ukraine should worry more about Poland than anyone else.

The map is not entirely accurate, at least not about Eastern Europe.
But the video is fun to watch.
