The 1940s was a decade of the Gregorian calendar that began on January 1, 1940, and ended on December 31, 1949.

Most of World War II took place in the first half of the decade, which had a profound effect on most countries and people in Europe, Asia, and elsewhere. The consequences of the war lingered well into the second half of the decade, with a war-weary Europe divided between the jostling spheres of influence of the Western world and the Soviet Union, leading to the beginning of the Cold War. To some degree internal and external tensions in the post-war era were managed by new institutions, including the United Nations, the welfare state, and the Bretton Woods system, facilitating the post–World War II economic expansion, which lasted well into the 1970s. The conditions of the post-war world encouraged decolonization and the emergence of new states and governments, with India, Pakistan, Israel, Vietnam, and others declaring independence, although rarely without bloodshed. The decade also witnessed the early beginnings of new technologies (such as computers, nuclear power, and jet propulsion), often first developed in tandem with the war effort, and later adapted and improved upon in the post-war era.

    Forgot to add the Governorate of Montenegro and the Independent State of Macedonia. Use subtitles for names. Also added in Malay subtitles cause why not. update 30 sep 2023: added year to the subtitles for the shown flags. if theres a dash before the year, it means the flag was adopted before the 1940s, but was relinquished during said year. if the dash is after the year, it means the flag was adopted during said year and was used until after the 1940s. if theres no year, it means the flag was adopted before the 1940s and would go on to be used until after the 1940s. (ONLY FOR ENGLISH SUBTITLES, NOT MALAY BECAUSE I AM TOO LAZY (and also there's not much difference between the english and malay subtitles anyway since the countries' name are basically the same between the two languages))

    Me seeing the British flag: time to look at the flags of every single rock in the ocean for two minutes.
  • @SM64Kid351
    The British ones, watching the coats of arms spin around and around is so satisfying!
