Yan Xishan's Russian Civil War video

Emperor Tigerstar's Collapse of the German Empire video

This video was also checked in relation to (and sometimes used sources as) other ones from the mapping community, specifically those made by Emperor Tigerstar (Collapse of German Empire and Austria-Hungary), War Destiny Mapping(Collapse of Austria-Hungary) and Yan Xishan(Russian Civil War), Karu (Interwar Eastern Front reuploaded version), Koopinator(WW1 in the Middle East) and Aremenian Mapper (Caucasus struggle for independence). Be aware that there are differences.

Notes:
- Partisans are shown only when it's clear what territory they control
- The Irish war of independence was mostly a guerilla war so it is very scarcely shown, since the rebels didn't fight over territory and didn't hold positions or cities. I admit this video doesn't quite do it justice.
- The United Baltic Duchy and People's State of Bavaria were not shown due to their Wikis' very bad sourcing and lack of corroborating evidence. As far as I can understand, they either never existed or the authors misunderstood the material.
- Morocco's borders are shown at a rounded date.
- In a few cases, the "daily gains" color lingers for a few days by mistake. I fixed most of these cases, but there still might be others. Only the first day it appears should be taken as accurate
- After the British leave, Kars Province will be occupied by Armenia. Since Armenia has no color, it might be confusing so I wanted to clarify that
- The Treaty of St. Germain went into effect on 16th of July 1920. Despite this I showed the relevant annexations after it was signed because at that point most of the disputed territory was occupied by the victors and like in the case of Alsace-Lorraine, it wasn't any true difference between annexation and occupation
- Be aware that in the November 1918-January 1919 German troops in the east didn't evaporate. Some troops were still present in formerly occupied territories, however legal jurisdiction was exercised by their respective national governments

World War 1 didn't end in 1918. It lasted all the way until 1923.
