World Flag Animation but its the 1910s

The 1910s (pronounced "nineteen-tens") was a decade of the Gregorian calendar that began on January 1, 1910, and ended on December 31, 1919.

The 1910s represented the culmination of European militarism which had its beginnings during the second half of the 19th century. The conservative lifestyles during the first half of the decade, as well as the legacy of military alliances, was forever changed by the assassination, on June 28, 1914, of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir presumptive to the Austro-Hungarian throne. The murder triggered a chain of events in which, within 33 days, World War I broke out in Europe on August 1, 1914. The conflict dragged on until a truce was declared on November 11, 1918, leading to the controversial, one-sided Treaty of Versailles, which was signed on June 28, 1919.

The war's end triggered the abdication of various monarchies and the collapse of five of the last modern empires of Russia, Germany, China, Ottoman Turkey and Austria-Hungary, with the latter splintered into Austria, Hungary, southern Poland (who acquired most of their land in a war with Soviet Russia), Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia, as well as the unification of Romania with Transylvania and Moldavia. However, each of these states (with the possible exception of Yugoslavia) had large German and Hungarian minorities, creating some unexpected problems that would be brought to light in the next two decades.

Use subtitles for names

update 30 sep 2023: added year to the subtitles for the shown flags. if theres a dash before the year, it means the flag was adopted before the 1910s, but was relinquished during said year. if the dash is after the year, it means the flag was adopted during said year and was used until after the 1910s. if theres no year, it means the flag was adopted before the 1910s and would go on to be used until after the 1910s. (ONLY FOR ENGLISH SUBTITLES, NOT MALAY BECAUSE I AM TOO LAZY (and also there's not much difference between the english and malay subtitles anyway since the countries' name are basically the same between the two languages))

If you're wondering what Sulu (3:13) is, it used to be a sultanate in southern part of the Philippines. The territory now belongs to the republic but the family still receives an honorary tittle.

that thumbnail made me realise some similarities between ottomans and qing
>both come from nomadic roots
>both settled and adopted to local religion and culture
>both rised with gunpowder
>both always seen as "outsiders" by the lands they ruled over
