The video begins with a map of Europe, where the countries are not labeled, and the focus is on a large yellow area in the center. The map then transitions to a more detailed version with countries labeled, and the yellow area is now surrounded by other colored areas. The video continues to show the map evolving, with the yellow area expanding and contracting, and the surrounding areas changing colors. The final frames show a fully labeled map with the yellow area representing a significant power, surrounded by other countries and empires.
