idea : I always wonder for the existence of a large West and East Germanys during the Cold War. Say the Allies split Germany in half according to the 1939 German borders when they invaded Poland. Maybe to sell this idea to the Austrians better is to have West Germany to unite with Austria, as they were the traditional leader of the Germans, or maybe they can reduce the Prussian identity among their northern brothers. And maybe to calm down the Polish people in the larger East Germany the Soviets can give their eastern Polish land claims pre 1939. A larger West Germany with Austria and parts of the Sudetenland could play a bigger role in NATO or in the EEC. A larger East Germany could be like a main guy for the Soviet Union in the Warsaw Pact. After the fall of the Soviet Union, NATO and Europe could decide whether to allow German unification or have the two states separate.
@@melihaculha268You realize the absolute onslaught that wouldve happened in the western front had russia and the ottomans not soaked up millions of troops from germany,France,britain and italy?Russia was the primary difference maker between the sparing of france in ww1 and its abaolute demolition in ww2
As a Hungarian this pleases me greatly. We get to keep core territories, historically important locations and cities as well as areas with large Hungarian populations!
@@rewriting-history well unless they federalised completely after the hungarian revolt. You even made a video about how austria hungary would survive if they had federalised completely
It would be horrible for your nation as a nationstate on one side but at the same time… you‘d probably dodge the deaths and destruction of two world wars
Hey, owning/claiming german territories is a classic Poles move, it really happened in a way, plus maybe your country wouldn't be ravaged by ww1 and ww2. Statistically that outcome would've been way better for your land. For Polish great pride even! Who knows! You might have invaded the PC or something... 😂
3:42 This is a mistake, Belgium kept the same territory after the Franco-Prussian war. Limburg was in the German Confederation until 1866 but under Dutch rule. This was settled as early as 1839, after the Belgians occupied this territory in their revolution but then returned it to the Dutch. The other territory concerns Eupen and Malmedy, which was part of Prussia since 1815. That territory only was annexed by the Belgians after the first world war and never was a part of their nation before.
I just thought id mention that the scenario of the 1911 war's peace treaty is highly unrealistic unless there is a dramatic shift in german foreign and internal policy, the fact is that the Prussian state in the years prior , led by Bismarck that formed the German Empire, was hell bent on keeping control over the German states , and more particularly, keeping them Prussian or at least continuing the period of Prussification. The problem with the addition of Austria in any peace treaty scenario where the Monarchy is still intact in Germany is that they'd have to lose this fear that Bismarck and Prussian nobles instilled , (which actually led to the alliance between Prussia-Germany and Austria-Hungary) which was that if Austria-Hungary collapsed , Austrian and German citizens would demand the integration of the territory into Germany , and with the massive Austrian Catholic and very culturally different to the Prussians, they would start to rapidly lose their control over the Empire. That's all , other than that Great video! 😂☺️
I think Russia would push for the borders Hungary got in our timeline, since they could get even more influence and it'd be seen as liberating the Slavic people there. Maybe Germany could this in exchange for gaining Bratislava, as it had a roughly equal split between Germans, Hungarians, and Slovaks during the time.
Seeing how the Germans were basically propping up Austria--- the Habsburgs are pretty much toast. How many times did the German Army save them from the Russians? Crickey, under this scenario, even the Italians will be doing good.
21:00 uhh, you do realize this russian poland existed irl and never did this right? Like the Congress of vienna made poland a vassal, although the russians slowly subverted the independence they did have, causing most maps to eventually just include poland in russia.
I think I'm most interested in a variation of the first scenario where the war doesn't end as early and this alternate Central Powers eventually forces a more complete victory more akin to that dictated in our timeline's Versailles.
An Italian "Ethnicity" is A big word, Since Reality is a that italians are group Of different Ethnicities with Shared Culture like Poetry forced into one country, sadly creating Division between north and south, like a Corsican is different from a Venetian , Malta and Sicily are no italian But they helped develop its culture
Why do you think Corsica would remain french? I mean if even Malta was to be given to Italy I see no way the Italians would stop since Corsica would literally be the last remaining place they wanted. Also Spain would definitely get some minor border changes at the french border with areas with Basque and Catalan majority going to Spain.
I think that France can continue the war to keep Corsica, while Germany and Russia would no longer help Italy as they got what they wanted. The Italians won't fight a bloody war over Corsica and risk losing Nice and Savoy, so they may concede, for now. There is always WW2 to solve that issue

If I had a nickel for every time Russia had been on Germany’s side in the past month, I would have 2 nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice
I legit don't think Russo-German alliance would be that strong. First of all why would entente join in on the Italo-Turkish war? There is absolutely no reason for it. Russia isn't getting stronger at a miraculous pace, not even close. Russia's growth is most likely slower than in our timeline, as Russia doesn't benefit from British and most importantly French loans. If war breaks out evetually, let's say 1914, I don't think Italy would join immediately against the entente. Great Britain still has the largest navy in the world, and a blockade of Italy, especially when Italy wasn't that industrialised, would collapse the Italian economy. But let's say Italy joins immediately anyways. I could see Italy falling as quickly as A-H does, which gives the entente full control over the mediterranian and gives protection to France from the south. Spain would never join in with their terrible political and economical state. This would cause a stalemate in the western front, similar to our timeline. Turkey I imagine would stay neutral in this timeline, probably entente favored later on when A-H collapses. USA would still definetly favor the entente, giving much needed economic boost for them to continue the war. German and Russian economies would continue to worsen as famines hit both countries by 1917. In the far east, Japan has definetly taken Vladivostok, meaning that Russia has no way to keep up trade with the rest of the world, as Britain can blockade the Baltic Sea and Britain is also in full control of the mediterranean. The war comes down to if France is able to defend their front against Germany, which I find likely. The entente doesn't have to commut forces to defend other fronts once A-H collapses and any kind of attempt to do Schlieffen plan would be futile. This happens while minorities start to rise up in Russia and unrest keeps increasing, with a revolution likely to break out by 1918-19. Germany's strength in WW1 is often greatly exaggerated, but in reality their chance of victory was slim once the western front was set in stalemate, as the superior navy of the entente makes it certain the entente is able to carry the burden of war better than the Russo-German alliance.
Nothing better than one of these after a 3 hour long math test. Also, "what if Italy invaded mainland France during the franco-prussian war?" would be really cool to see!
Why would they ? A decade earlier France has created Italy and its king + it happened in WW2 and Hitler was mad at Mussolini because he was unable to invade a single city in France even if all the french was army located in the north
@@RAPHAEL-di8hz France just took Nice and Savoy from Italy despite not respecting the pact they had with the Italians, they stopped fighting the Austrians and the Italians didn't get all the land they asked for. It is kind of sad seeing you compare the franco-prussian war with a war that happened 80+ years later. Literally has nothing to do with it. But still. Hitler wasn't "mad" at Mussolini, Italy was an indipendent country, not some German puppet, Germany had nothing to be "mad" about. And you're talking like the same thing wouldn't have happened if France tried to invade Italy, french troops wouldn't have moved a single inch, invading from the Alps is almost impossible, Italy didn't want to reach important cities, just wanted to invade to have a claim on french land, they captured several french cities along the border and that was more than enough.
@@RAPHAEL-di8hz And Italy created itself and chose its own king. France helping in a single war out of the 3 independence wars doesn't make them the creator of a country..
I don't know what was precisely mentionned in the pact but Victor-Emmanuel II was not mad at Napoleon III after this. To illustrate it, the Italian flag is just a green version of the french flag created during French occupation of Italy back in 1797. Green was the favorite colour of Napoleon Bonaparte. They could have chose another flag. Italy was a complete german puppet during WW2. About invading each others, i think the last time Italy invaded France for real was Juluis Caesar back in -52 BC
O have a funny idea. I remember how Kazakhstan was the ENTIRE Soviet Union for 4 days because all of the other Soviet Republics (Russia included) have already left, and since that fact was know, I've seen multiple scenarios were Kazakhstan has decided to continue being the USSR, so based on that I have this idea: What if the Soviet Union survived in the other Soviet Republics? It can be either be in Russia, to any of the eastern european countries, to the caucassus, or maybe in one of the 5 central asian republics. Imagine the USSR surviving in either Kaliningrad, Ukraine, or Turkmenistan.
Very interesting alternate scenario! Its essentially what would happend if Bismarck was in charge and lived longer. I would also like u to do a: What if Britain and Germany became allies before ww1. If Britain joined the central powers.
Video ideas"What if Trianon was WAY harsher to Austria and Hungary? What if Bulgarians never existed? What if Austro-Hungary was established later? What if Argentina won the Falkland war? What if Central African Republic became a global power? What if May Coup in Serbia failed? What if "Bombaska Afera" incident was a succses? What if Finland wasnt real? What if German-French allience was a thing? And finally What if Poland turned the tides and took over both Berlin and Moscow by 1940?
Suggestion: What if Dacia won the first Daco-Roman war The point of deversion could be the momment when Dacia attacked Dobruja and insteed of Rome taking soldiers the south of the Danube they would take soldiers from Wallachia, Thus leaving Wallachia undefended
This is unironically something I’ve been thinking about for a while, personally I don’t see why the Balkan wars wouldn’t happen, my preference is to turn one of the Balkan wars into ww1, for instance, the second Balkan war: Austria invades Serbia and Romania in defense of Bulgaria in order to prevent Serbia from becoming strong enough to threaten their territory. Russia declares war on Austria Hungary in defense of Serbia, this triggers a partition pact negotiated in secret earlier pulling Germany and Italy into the war. The French join on the Austrian side in accord with previously negotiated treaties with Austria, the ottomans which are now essentially a French sphereling are forced to declare war on Russia with promises of Bulgarian concessions and reconquest of Balkan territory. I also like a French “Schlieffen plan” but idk if their generals could or would think of it. I personally think that the British would not intervene given that they had been trying to weasel out of their commitments to Belgium for decades before this and a French Schlieffen would make France the unjustified aggressor now. As for the outcome of the war, it depends on British choices: If the British join the Russo-German side then quick and easy war, after like 2-3 years they’re in Berlin negotiating the partition of Austria and the Middle East and peace terms with France If the British stay neutral I imagine a longer more bloody war, essentially bogged down in the Belgian country side and a couple miles in either direction of the French border. After a grueling war, the ottomans and Austrians collapse leading to a reconciliatory peace with France or a French communist revolution, either way a handful of colonies are seized from France and the rest of Europe and the Middle East are split between the victors If the British join the French, I really don’t see this ending without one or both sides completely or partially collapsing Either way, conflicting claims and aims would drive a wedge between the victorious powers, drawing the lines for a second Great War Fun video regardless
They would be in the Mediterranean already, true, but anyone who holds Constantinople could trap them _in_ the Mediterranean now. Having a Mediterranean presence without Constantinople would in fact further fuel Russia's desire for the straits.
Great video! Glad to have found your channel. Just one objection, though. In the last scenario, Greece would do as Romania and remain neutral for similar reasons. They'd have all the Balkans, the Ottoman Empire and Italy against them, so they'd know that there was no way that they wouldn't get to be at least occupied, if not ethnically cleansed.
*7:34* As a Georgian, this sounds like the worst possible outcome ever. I mean this is the country that forcibly forgave itself to the Russian empire just to avoid Ottoman obliteration, and it being foregiven to its greatest enemies (Together with Armenians too, who hate the Ottomans *EVEN MORE)* as a war trophy sounds like actual hell. Also I love the first outcome of this video because Ottoman Empire gets nuked and Armenia returns its rightful land!

+ it happened in WW2 and Hitler was mad at Mussolini because he was unable to invade a single city in France even if all the french was army located in the north
@@RAPHAEL-di8hz
France just took Nice and Savoy from Italy despite not respecting the pact they had with the Italians, they stopped fighting the Austrians and the Italians didn't get all the land they asked for.
It is kind of sad seeing you compare the franco-prussian war with a war that happened 80+ years later. Literally has nothing to do with it.
But still. Hitler wasn't "mad" at Mussolini, Italy was an indipendent country, not some German puppet, Germany had nothing to be "mad" about.
And you're talking like the same thing wouldn't have happened if France tried to invade Italy, french troops wouldn't have moved a single inch, invading from the Alps is almost impossible, Italy didn't want to reach important cities, just wanted to invade to have a claim on french land, they captured several french cities along the border and that was more than enough.

And Italy created itself and chose its own king.
France helping in a single war out of the 3 independence wars doesn't make them the creator of a country..
I don't know what was precisely mentionned in the pact but Victor-Emmanuel II was not mad at Napoleon III after this. To illustrate it, the Italian flag is just a green version of the french flag created during French occupation of Italy back in 1797. Green was the favorite colour of Napoleon Bonaparte. They could have chose another flag.
Italy was a complete german puppet during WW2.
About invading each others, i think the last time Italy invaded France for real was Juluis Caesar back in -52 BC
O have a funny idea. I remember how Kazakhstan was the ENTIRE Soviet Union for 4 days because all of the other Soviet Republics (Russia included) have already left, and since that fact was know, I've seen multiple scenarios were Kazakhstan has decided to continue being the USSR, so based on that I have this idea:
What if the Soviet Union survived in the other Soviet Republics?
It can be either be in Russia, to any of the eastern european countries, to the caucassus, or maybe in one of the 5 central asian republics.
Imagine the USSR surviving in either Kaliningrad, Ukraine, or Turkmenistan.
What if the German Empire never annexed Alsace-Lorraine? I don't see anybody else do this scenario
that’s a very good idea
Is this your first sponsorship? I can't remember if you have had another one before.
This is my second one. In the Finland winning the winter war there was also one
Very interesting alternate scenario! Its essentially what would happend if Bismarck was in charge and lived longer. I would also like u to do a: What if Britain and Germany became allies before ww1. If Britain joined the central powers.
shiii that sponsor transition is smooth
Ayyy I am glad you think so!
This is very good!
'just like you are to your father' NAHHH THATS WILD, im subsribing lol
Video ideas"What if Trianon was WAY harsher to Austria and Hungary? What if Bulgarians never existed? What if Austro-Hungary was established later? What if Argentina won the Falkland war? What if Central African Republic became a global power? What if May Coup in Serbia failed? What if "Bombaska Afera" incident was a succses? What if Finland wasnt real? What if German-French allience was a thing? And finally What if Poland turned the tides and took over both Berlin and Moscow by 1940?
Very interesting video
I appreciate that!
Suggestion: What if Dacia won the first Daco-Roman war
The point of deversion could be the momment when Dacia attacked Dobruja and insteed of Rome taking soldiers the south of the Danube they would take soldiers from Wallachia, Thus leaving Wallachia undefended
This is unironically something I’ve been thinking about for a while, personally I don’t see why the Balkan wars wouldn’t happen, my preference is to turn one of the Balkan wars into ww1, for instance, the second Balkan war: Austria invades Serbia and Romania in defense of Bulgaria in order to prevent Serbia from becoming strong enough to threaten their territory. Russia declares war on Austria Hungary in defense of Serbia, this triggers a partition pact negotiated in secret earlier pulling Germany and Italy into the war. The French join on the Austrian side in accord with previously negotiated treaties with Austria, the ottomans which are now essentially a French sphereling are forced to declare war on Russia with promises of Bulgarian concessions and reconquest of Balkan territory. I also like a French “Schlieffen plan” but idk if their generals could or would think of it. I personally think that the British would not intervene given that they had been trying to weasel out of their commitments to Belgium for decades before this and a French Schlieffen would make France the unjustified aggressor now. As for the outcome of the war, it depends on British choices:
If the British join the Russo-German side then quick and easy war, after like 2-3 years they’re in Berlin negotiating the partition of Austria and the Middle East and peace terms with France
If the British stay neutral I imagine a longer more bloody war, essentially bogged down in the Belgian country side and a couple miles in either direction of the French border. After a grueling war, the ottomans and Austrians collapse leading to a reconciliatory peace with France or a French communist revolution, either way a handful of colonies are seized from France and the rest of Europe and the Middle East are split between the victors
If the British join the French, I really don’t see this ending without one or both sides completely or partially collapsing
Either way, conflicting claims and aims would drive a wedge between the victorious powers, drawing the lines for a second Great War
Fun video regardless
14:38 i don't have a father, checkmate.
18:30 Bro, Constantinople is needed so that SHIPS can get into the Mediterranean.
They can be build in Bulgaria, or during peacetime the Russians can move their navy there.
They would be in the Mediterranean already, true, but anyone who holds Constantinople could trap them _in_ the Mediterranean now. Having a Mediterranean presence without Constantinople would in fact further fuel Russia's desire for the straits.

I spawned a lot of Bulgarians with this one lol
Nicholas II: counsin!

19:50 why wouldn't it be franz johseph? Are you implying the habsburgs are overthrown outright?
"Like you are to your father" caught me off guard
They was allied but wilhelm II refused to renew the alliance in 1890
Yes, but not in this alternate timeline as the issue is resolved in 1878, 12 years prior to that
Great video! Glad to have found your channel. Just one objection, though. In the last scenario, Greece would do as Romania and remain neutral for similar reasons. They'd have all the Balkans, the Ottoman Empire and Italy against them, so they'd know that there was no way that they wouldn't get to be at least occupied, if not ethnically cleansed.
*7:34* As a Georgian, this sounds like the worst possible outcome ever. I mean this is the country that forcibly forgave itself to the Russian empire just to avoid Ottoman obliteration, and it being foregiven to its greatest enemies (Together with Armenians too, who hate the Ottomans *EVEN MORE)* as a war trophy sounds like actual hell. Also I love the first outcome of this video because Ottoman Empire gets nuked and Armenia returns its rightful land!
You know what, I was planning on doing a short video on what if all went right for Georgia, so expect that soon
Why did i get the notification for this 3 days late😭😭😭😭
