2. Open the map in MS Paint or Paint.NET. MS Paint is easier to use, but Paint.NET has a lot more features.

3. Add a country, with the Brush or Pencil tool. Name it with the Text tool. Then, save the image.

4. Open Windows Movie Maker. Find this image wherever you saved it and put it in.

5. Go back to Paint. Turn your country white with the Paintbucket tool and type words anywhere you want. This will make it look like it's talking.

6. Save that slide, and put it into Movie Maker. You will have to do this after every slide.

7. Add another country, exactly how you did with the first one. Maybe make a country expand by erasing part of the border and replacing it. Save the slide and put it into Movie Maker.

8. Make a war. Turn one country blue and the other red. Save the slide and put it into Movie Maker.

9. Replace part of the countries' borders until one wins. Save the slides and put them into Movie Maker as you do this.

10. Repeat steps 3-9 until you have about 75 slides. The things that happen in the slides do not have to be in order.

11. You're almost done! Go to Movie Maker, and press Ctrl+A. This will select every slide. Then, go under Animations and select a transition. This will make your video a lot smoother.

12. Still selecting every slide, go to Edit. Change the duration to 3 seconds, this is a good length for a slide.

13. Add music if you want by clicking Add Music.

14. In the top right corner, there is a button that says Save Movie. Save your movie as a .wmv file. This may take a while.

15. Go to YouTube (make sure you have an account). Click Upload. Then, look for the .wmv file you just made. Upload your video. This may take a while.

16. Name your video. Give it a description. When it finishes, publish it.

17. Go to your channel's page. Go to Video Manager. Find your new video. Click it, and set a thumbnail (what people will see if the video is in a playlist or something).

18. Done! People can now view your new video.

Hope that helped! :)
