Timeline of National Flags: Europe

Описание: More than half a millennia of Europe's history in countries and flags. See the rise and fall of empires old and new, along with a little bit of the surrounding continents.

NOTES:

Disputed territories such as Kosovo, South Ossetia, Nagorno-Karabakh (now known as Artsakh), Crimea, are shown without a line separating them.

De facto control is shown with de jure borders (e.g. Bulgaria is shown before its de jure independence, Islamic State, etc.)

Russia is represented with its coat of arms on a red background until 1668.

Ireland is represented using its earldom flag, though in reality it was broken up into many smaller states.

Without enough flag information and pixels, the Holy Roman Empire is shown as a single state, though some states in the HRE are shown. All states are shown after 1806.

"Semi-independent" Persian/Azerbaijani states are shown because why not.

Holy Roman Empire: Blue outline
Confederation of the Rhine: Green outline
German Confederation: Red outline
