The gangs
From top to bottom: the 4 regimes; the sovereigns, followed by the heads of state after 1908; the House of Vinter, which became a ceremonial institution; the wars; the events in the chronology of the reception, with the most significant ones highlighted in gold.
The curves
Population, GDP, share of global output and defence expenditure, from 1900 to 2018. These are the time series from the ‘Economy’ and ‘Population’ pages, point by point: when you hover over them, the timeline displays the latest published value and its year, without any interpolation.
