Hopefully viewers can see this cartoon. This is my favorite episode. I wonder if Yosemite Sam was a Hessian to allow greater British and American relationships to strengthen during the Cold War post World War II

Shame about the copyright issue. Instead, here is a short YouTube video about cartoons around the world.

Given the scope of the OP and the exclusion of South Park and presumably the Simpson, which I watched a little bit of in 1999/2000, and Ren and Stimpy, which I saw some of in 1992 at a friend's house, I haven't intentionally sought out and watched children's cartoons since I was a child. I've never seen Sponged Bob or anything post mid 1990s.
I never really got into Looney Tunes and classic American cartoons, as they were exceedingly 'American' in style, tone and content. As a boy, I preferred three other types - British cartoons, the Franco-Japanese crossovers and the Filmation likes of He-Man.
The first category included Danger Mouse, Bananaman, Count Duckula, Alias the Jester, the Wind in the Willows, SuperTed, The Family Ness, Captain Pugwash and The Wombles. They were generally a bit more sophisticated than the Looney Tunes/Hanna Barbera stuff found on the commercial channels of an early Saturday morning and in afternoons and aimed at a slightly older demographic, which coincidentally, I fell into in the late 1980s.
The second consist of The Mysterious Cities of Gold (which stands as the best cartoon I watched), Ulysses 31, Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea, Inspector Gadget, MASK and Lucky Luke. Again, these were far, far more thematically sophisticated and mature than the American offerings, which appealed to many boys at the time. MCOG remains a very well made highpoint of the genre, even to an adult appreciation, and influences some of my work. I never really saw any animated Asterix until later on.
Finally, there was Masters of the Universe, which was my first interest when screened here in 1985-1989, or my junior primary years. The tie-in with the action figures was the major selling point. I never got into Transformers, but didn't mind BraveStarr (action figures), Dungeons & Dragons (the same) and GI Joe (sensing a pattern here?). They were alright, but I grew out of them in due course.

Coming from Germany, I had the choice between both US and British cartoons. Hence, I've seen at least some episodes of: Tom and Jerry, Looney Tunes, Popeye, Mickey & Donald, Pink Panther, Pinky and the Brain, and Flintstones; but also Simpsons, Futurama, South Park, a bit Ren and Stimpy, Danger Mouse, Count Duckula, Alias the Jester, even a bit of The Family Ness, Captain Pugwash. Well, at least I remember them. Also Franco-Belgian stuff: Smurfs, Lucky Luke, Asterix.

Well the related videos at the end links to four more adventures of private SNAFU. - I wonder what parents said when their children asked - what a strange name, where does that come from? Given how active a career he had I wonder he never got promoted, although possibly he had to accept that Iron Cross 2nd class. 
There are some more but they do get rather repetitive,
