That's quite interesting to watch, although in some time periods it changes too fast for the viewer to follow. It would be better to have a larger interactive version where you could use a slider to move the year, and possibly have a legend of which color corresponds to which political entity.

I dunno how accurate it is, but judging from my own country we don't appear on the map in the late 1200 :)

Actually now i understand, they choose to start from this time period (1000 years ago) witch is correct. It's during the reign of the Byzantine emperor Basil II.

We disappeared on the 5th-6th century, so don't complain.

which also would have made it possible to zoom in a bit. It is impossible to really see what is happening in central europe in the 17-18 century. To many small factions.

Nice find, I like stuff like this.
Although, Doncaster (in UK) should be marked as Scottish too, as they still own it, or perhaps was too small to show up hehe
