    9:00 The Netherlands didn't just take Flanders, they also took French Flanders (Duinkerke, Hazebroek) and Waals Brabant (Nijvel, Waver).
    From what I can see, it's mostly the current railway, plus a couple of abandoned lines that used to connect Belgium and the Netherlands (maybe other abandoned lines too). For example the Line from Sint-Niklaas (my home town) to Terneuzen (line 54, abandoned in 1952 for passengers and in 1975 for goods). There is another non-existent line, from Gent-Centraal (real name: Gent-Sint-Pieters) to Terneuzen. There currently is a study to create that line, but it doesn't exist yet.

      Edit: WW1 and the slight weakening of Colonial Europe was what gave Japan an opportunity to rival the Western Powers (aside from their victory against the Russian Empire) and grow as an Industrial Imperial Superpower. Without WW1 or WW2, I don't know what would have happened. They might still have an empire I guess but not enough to rival Colonial Europe, USSR, and the US or enough to have control over Southeast Asia (a.k.a their empire would probably only be in East Asia).🤷‍♂️

    6:46 Vienna may would be a sea trade city.
    10:02 I allways like to see in alliances and war maps in Europe, how Switzerland just a hole is in the middle between Germany, Austria, Italy and France. (And of course Liechtenstein but it's quiet a part of Switzerland.
    9:54 It's an United-United Kingdom. 😜
    10:00 Btw. on this map is Czechoslovakia also united.

    Time for me to clear up misconceptions about the WW2 "japanese flag". The flag commonly used for WW2 japan was never a national flag, it's the flag for the navy. Of course them being an island nation would lead to their navy being seen quite often, causing the misconceptions.

    • @__Man_

      No, it was the flag of the imperial army. The navy did not have the sun centered. The army had a lot of power, and they are responsible for most of the well known atrocities, causing people to associate imperial japanese war crimes and imperial japan with that flag.
