It's like EUIII/IV played back at high speed.

Bit sorry to see Napoleon's blob blitz past so fast. It only gives you a brief moment to see how huge his campaign was.

In comparison the Nazis' big purple's blob is all the more noticeable because it occurred at a time when there had already been a lot of consolidation in Europe.

My immediate reaction was "I've seen all this just by clicking through the dates in EUIV's start screen!" And I think the game's data was more accurate, too, except for missing some tiny German principalities.

It's especially noticeable because the animation makes it last ten years longer than it actually did.
