While outright nation-on-nation conflict is becoming more rare, threats to the collective security of NATO allies have not disappeared. While countries may have differing opinions over the exact amount each should contribute, rising expenditures are a sign that NATO is still a priority for the near future.
The history of Europe is breathtakingly complex, but this animation helps makes sense of 2, years of change on the European map. The history of Europe is breathtakingly complex. Empires rise and fall, invasions sweep across the continent, and modern countries slowly begin to take shape with the added bonus of an extremely dramatic instrumental.
The fall of Carthage left the Romans in control of territory in North Africa, and the ransack and destruction of the Greek city-state of Corinth also kickstarted an era of Roman influence in that region. The peak of the Roman Empire is one of the more dramatic moments shown on this animated European map.
At its height, under Trajan, the Roman Empire was a colossal 1. This enormous empire remained mostly intact until , when it was irreparably split into Eastern and Western regions. Spurred on by severe drought conditions in Central Asia, the Huns reached Europe and found a Roman Empire weakened by currency debasement , economic instability, overspending, and increasing incursions from rivals along its borders. The Huns waged their first attack on the Eastern Roman Empire in , but it was not until half a century later—under the leadership of Attila the Hun—that hordes pushed deeper into Europe, sacking and razing cities along the way.
The Romans would later get their revenge when they attacked the quarreling Goths and Huns, bouncing the latter out of Central Europe. Facing invasion from formidable Mongol forces, central European princes temporarily placed their regional conflicts aside to defend their territory. Though the Mongols were slowly pushed eastward, they loomed large on the fringes of Europe until almost the 16th century.
A pivotal moment for Lithuania came after a decisive win at the Battle of Blue Waters. This victory stifled the expansion of the Golden Horde, and brought present-day Ukraine into its sphere of influence.
The end of the Holy Roman Empire highlights the extreme territorial fragmentation in Germany and neighboring regions, in an era referred to as Kleinstaaterei. Unification helped position Germany as a major power, and by the country had the largest economy in Europe. The Ottoman Empire—a fixture in Eastern Europe for hundreds of years—was in its waning years by the beginning of the 20th century.
The empire had ceded territory in two costly wars with Italy and Balkan states, and by the time the dust cleared on WWI, the borders of the newly minted nation of Turkey began at the furthest edge of continental Europe.
After the war, Germany again became fragmented into occupation zones—this time, overseen by the United States, France, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union. Germany would not be made whole again until , when a weakening Soviet Union loosened its grip on East Germany.
