Armenia should've been partitioned between Rome and the Sassanid Empire in 390 and 428. The Khanate of Khiva (with no flag) should have been shown instead of the Khanate of Bukhara. 0:00 - Intro 0:04 - 4th Century BC 0:21 - 3rd Century BC 0:55 - 2nd Century BC 1:28 - 1st Century BC 2:01 - 1st Century 2:34 - 2nd Century 3:08 - 3rd Century 3:41 - 4th Century 4:14 - 5th Century 4:48 - 6th Century 5:21 - 7th Century 5:54 - 8th Century 6:28 - 9th Century 7:01 - 10th Century 7:34 - 11th Century 8:08 - 12th Century 8:41 - 13th Century 9:14 - 14th Century 9:48 - 15th Century 10:21 - 16th Century 10:54 - 17th Century 11:28 - 18th Century 12:01 - 19th Century 12:34 - 20th Century 13:08 - 21st Century 13:17 - Outro Sources: Wikipedia Vexilla Mundi https://iranpoliticsclub.net/flags/colonial/index.htm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzKejJIwieE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnIqNhpbnwk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eIADs7Ct-Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJhqNa2L_A8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3S734SZ4bcc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8VAGVdu-Qs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ISXTUWAdU0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e34Ny7XJpUE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHECmSFb2-c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToxfSPfbx2E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfYEb7W4PkY https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Davestar.jpg https://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/flags-i#prettyPhoto[content]/7/ https://www.oocities.org/rooyintan/
