Monday Empire obliterates the Sunday Republic

[unss]

It’s crazy how Monday took over the earth in a few hours

[Dylanowich]

My grandpa fought in this war, I remember one day he was here and the next day we never heard from him again. Thank you for taking the time to showcase this side of the war.

0:24 Succesful landings in the south
0:28 Japan falls, alongside Korea.

Can't believe they didn't include this war in History books

[JagerLange]

Possibly the most mindblowing map vid of recent times. I'd never even considered that it could be three different days at once on the planet.

[SnapplyPie]

The fact that there can be 3 days happening at once is weird...

[kevwang]

This was a very interesting one, and very useful too. It's one thing seeing time zones offset by 15 minutes on a static map, but seeing it visualized like this really drives the point home.

[BoogerFace]

Here's a fun fact: UTC -12:00 is an uninhabited time zone. The only land in the time zone are the islands of Baker and Howland.

[SamAronow]

This is actually highly useful; thank you.

[karmo]

In just this day alone approximately 158, 686 people died, thanks for mapping this historic battle.

[AnonymousFreakYT]

This would be interesting to see as four sets, with an "actual sun path" overlay: Winter solstice, spring equinox, summer solstice, fall equinox. (Because different countries go on and off daylight saving time at different times. Maybe even a couple around the equinoxes to show the different DSTs?)

[Alrikus]

This is a true story of quality>quantity, tiny Kirimati easily took over the entirety of the world while only being on a small island.

[nuggetmite]

0:15 In a shocking turn of events, Saturday, the beloved weekend day, found itself divided between Sunday and Monday, setting the stage for a series of dramatic historical moments.

0:18 Amidst the partition, Monday launched a surprise invasion, betraying Sunday and swiftly capturing Kamchatka and several Pacific islands, escalating tensions across the region.

0:21 Sakhalin Landing Marks Strategic Move

0:24 Successful landings in the southern regions further solidify Monday's expanding control.

0:28 Japan and Korea Succumb to Monday's Might

0:30 Chinese offensive annihilates Sunday's forces, allowing for significant breakthroughs in Southeast Asia, culminating in the occupation of Malaysia.

0:32 Occupation Efforts Intensify in Newly Conquered Territories

0:37 Frontline Breakthrough in Kazakhstan Shifts Balance of Power

0:38 India Falls, Amplifying Monday's Influence

0:43 Monday Secures Foothold in Europe

0:47 Brilliant Plan Unleashed: Russia and Parts of Africa Seized

0:50 Sunday Suffers Devastating Losses Prior to Monday's Invasion

0:53 Europe and Africa Surrender, Residual Resistance Remains

0:53 Northeast of Iceland Defects to Monday's Camp, Questioning Sunday's Rule

0:56 Sunday Exiled to the Americas as Monday's Dominion Expands

1:06 Monday Gains Control of Argentina and Portions of Brazil

1:09 Canada Becomes the Battleground: Sunday's Defeat Nears

1:19 Sunday's Last Stand in the Cascadian Region

1:22 Sunday's Failure Leaves Alaska as Its Last Major Stronghold

1:25 Monday Establishes Global Connectivity, Sunday Confined to Isolated Islands

1:28 Tuesday Separatists Emerge, Challenging Monday's Authority, Rendering Sunday a Mere Watery Memory

It is an amazing war in which the small Kingdom of Monday defeated the great Empire of Sunday. This achivment of Monday was as good as Alexander of Macedonia. I wonder if the kingdom of Monday is aware of the threat coming from the east, where the Kingdom of Tuesday was established and start expansion to the east

[toaddx]

The fall of the capital Greenwich pretty much cemented the fall of the Sundayan Empire. The military was by that time falling into disarray, and the government fled to the continental province of North America.
After several military blunders, the Emperor abdicated and the provisional government of the Republic of Sunday took over, however the government was in chaos and couldn’t stop their eventual capitulation with the capture of the last bastions in North America. On 12:00 AM, the remaining forces of the Republic of Sunday capitulated, marking the end of Sunday, and the end of the Sundayan Civil War.

[austinset]

Minor little detail I think is very neat. North Korea used to actually have half an hour difference from the time zone theyre in. So only 8 years ago, this map would have actually needed to have NK be its own unique section from the rest of Asia.

[Daniboy]

The nation of Kiribati, always ahead of its time. 🇰🇮

[Minipipy]

This was my favourite war. Crazy how Monday managed to turn the tide despite the odds being stacked against it.
