If Germany wouldn't have gone to war they would collapse pretty quickly. All of thieir economy was prepared for the war. They had taken so much debt to prepare the whole country for the one goal. Today's Germany is the complete opposite. They basically have no real army compared to countries in Western Europe like France, UK and I'm sure that also Spain and Italy.

I appreciate there was very little time for a lot of history, but I still think its sad they completely skipped over the Weimar Republic. Very interesting topic.

The Saarland was actually an independent country after ww1 and ww2. Both Times, over 90% of the Population voted for being part of germany instead of Independence or being fr*nch. The reason Germany is often portrayed as Bavaria only could be that the Americans nevef had much to do with Germany internationally and after occupying Bavaria they brought that Image of Germany to the states, to movies and around the World. Another Note: These "random Ports" are actually the Cities Bremen and Bremerhaven. Wich is weird because they are their own Bundesland (Federal State) now, but arent really a City State because they are two cities, but not an regular state either. And also they arent connected
If you like countryballs with map movement, then I highly suggest you check out the "History of Europe Countryballs" video, that one is so interesting to watch.
That thing with Lithuania was about Klaipėda (Memel in German) and it's quite weird or interesting story: after Versailles in 1919 Klaipėda was put under joint Entante occupation (mainly French), while newly formed Lithuania, which just came out of war over it's capital Vilnius with Poland (Kaunas became officially a temporary capital, since every iteration of constitution referred Vilnius as the capital), desired Memel, because it had no port. So they decided to use prusso-Lithuanian declaration of uniting little Lithuania with Greater Lithuania (historical regions, not state names, also the population between local Germans and Lithuanians was 50/50 with Lithuanians dominating the countryside) back in 1918 March and staged an artificial rebellion using army veterans and Riflemen union in 1923 (Germans somewhat supported it cause French). After that and Ambassadors' conference the Klaipėda region was integrated into Lithuania with autonomy rights.
The plans was for france to build a defensive line from Switzerland to the Belgian border the Maginot line and to put infantry in Belgium but The french had lost the alince with beligum right before ww2 so they didn't have enough time to expand the Maginot line or get troops to the Belgian German border in time when Germany invaded. The allies didn't expect Germany to take tanks through the Arden forest since they thought tanks couldn't go through there.
What often is forgotten is that the Entente later also used chemical weapons in the war and that is a good excemple why the Entente wasn't the entire good guy in the first world war
13:58 Fun fact - For a brief period of time, Czechia actually had the "Polish" flag as their own until the adopted the one we have now - the Polish but with a blue triangle
The plan that France created to defend in a possible war against Germany was to make the Maginot defense line and then rush the best UK and French troops into Belgium and (alongside the Belgian troops) create trenchlines and smaller fortifications running from the end of the Maginot all the way to the Belgian sea. Unfortunately the plan was rendered ineffective, as Belgium chose to be independent after the UK and French alliance as the king of Belgium somehow thought that it would mean that French would pay less attention in protecting Belgium. It was believed that it was impossible to pass through the Ardennes as they are thick forrest and there is a river trhough the basin (especially impossible for an armored force). Some French pilots even reported the lines of German tanks and vehicles amassing on the Belgian-French border, but the high command refused to believe the recon pilots as they thought it would be impossible and a stupid idea. In fact the German force that entered France through the Ardennes was very disorganized and the smartest military decision would have been to wait for the rest of the forces to pass and reorganize, but the brave and cunning tank commanders decided to push through with everything that they had left and therefore did not give any time to France and the UK to counter what they were doing. This is why Dunkirk and the consequential fall of France occured.

Thats why i love History, the war, the life that our ancenstors lived, and also becouse its involved with Geograpy.... mannn i love it !

The story about Marginot Line is, that the French planned to defend Belgium. But at some point the relationship between Belgium and France became sour and the defense plan got dropped. When Germany rolled in as expected from the French, they couldn't get into Belgium and had to defend their own border in that difficult terrain. And the germans rushed through it. Interesting to see, that the failed Invasion of France against Germany haven't been shown. France attacked Germany as the german army was active in Poland, but french High Command ruined it and the french Army had to retreat.
The French plans was for the Germans to be forced through Belgium and avoid combat on French soil to not repeat a WW1 scenario. The generals thought they could contain them on the Dyle river. They didn't expect Germany to slam 50 Panzerdivisions through the Ardennes. The area had been considered as a potential passage point and was guarded, but it was seen as unlikely because of the terrain and there were mostly second-rate units there. The best armies were in Belgium fighting the German forces in the north.
And he wasn't wrong. The T-34 overall was a slightly better Königstiger and therefore the best tank during WWll, but German tanks as a whole were better than Soviet tanks. The soviets focused more on quantity instead of quality, especially in the early days of war for them.
For your next country ball plushies, you should do Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and Austria. The design of Switzerland should be the Swiss Vatican guard.
I think it's very good that they used the correct flag for West Germany. Many people assume a version with the federal eagle for West Germany, but that is wrong. The flag of the Federal Republic has not changed from 1949 to today and has always been without an eagle.
