Watch as 1000 years of European borders change

abkebab's Map of Europe 1000 AD to present with timeline

This is a small addition to the "Map of Europe: 1000 AD to present day" (video from abkebab).
I just discovered it and found it extremely interesting but something was missing... as mention by a large number of comments.
Since I didn't know how this video was made, I assumed that the timeline was linear and based the time calibration on Napoleon's Campaigns (apogee in 1812 at 02:33) and Hitler's invasion of Poland (1939 at 03:04).
Hope it will satisfy a lot of people asking for it... even if it's not exactly synchro with other historical events (especially the end of WWII), comparison with other timed maps from Euratlas is not too bad.
