Why it works
A rotating globe establishes global scale immediately, then a stable map lets viewers track each dated change without relearning the frame. The measured first 6:00 contains 128 graphic changes (21.3/min), and the most replayed passage at 0:34–0:41 revisits the postwar border settlement. The source is 11:21 long, while the supplied dissection covers only its first six minutes.
