Federal Union of Usonia | 1920+ // Iron Harvest
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 พ.ค. 2021
- The New World was once described as nothing but an echo of the Old. Over the centuries however, the Federal Union of Usonia has grown to become a new shining beacon of liberty. Yet when its national interest conflicts with its national ideals, Usonia will be forced to confront its own imperialist ambitions.

The heart of Usonia is represented in the game by the name Mason. George Mason, the father, commands the largest, most powerful airship in the game, he represents the hawkish and capitalistic side of Usonia. His son, William Mason, mans the best exosuit in the game, and represents the freedom-loving egalitarian idealism at the heart of the nation. It's such a great representation of the conflict of the American character.
For those who dont know, Aztlán is the mythical place from were the Aztecs were suposed to come from before forming the Aztec empire, and Mexico's real name is the United Mexican States.

I do to. And about Atzlan. And how did the various native americans faired in 1920+. And does Brazil still have an emperor? Is Gran Columbia still unified? Are the Mapuche still independent? So many questions about thr Americas of 1920+
Glory to Empire of Veracruz
@@hangebza6625 I'm guessing the rest of the Americas is pretty much the same, Brazil is probably the Empire of Amazonia or something and rivals with it's new robots with the Platense Republic
@@santi2683 i do not think so. Especially if the conquest of mexiko went differently, which is implied due to Atzlan, the entire americam history would be different e.g., as so much of americas conquests by europeans dependend on spains gold rush and other europeans reacting to it. E.g. Usonia founding states had multiple revolutionary wars against various colonizers, not just one against the british, if I understood the vid correctly. So NE east coast must have been under control of various nations then, indicating a different colonialistic history.
And if Alaska is still Rusviet, Usonia, Atzlans and Laurentias borders must be different aa well. Europes are too after all. So why should the south american history be pretty much the same?
We can expect a lot of alternate history from EVERY part of the world with the changes 1920+ created
This sounds like an American faction in WH40K
I'd actually really love a powerful non imperial human faction that isn't just chaos in a mustache.
@@thecruzking me to maybe if the rift had had formed during the Horus heresy some of the fragments could have formed something. that being said I dont think that the dark imperium will do anything that interesting.
They didn't exactly make it much more grimdark than it was in reality. The only real difference in terms of grimdarkness is that Usonia is *slightly* (and I mean slightly) more imperialist than the US was in the early 20th century, where we did indeed start war with Spain under false pretenses to acquire their territories. We did indeed back a Hawaiian coup that lead to a fair amount of deaths and may have gone against the will of the natives. The Trail of Tears and the Wounded Knee massacre were very real.
I do think this video does capture the spiritual sense of American in the early 20th century-- a conflict between the ideals of individual freedom for all people, and expansionism for the sake of self-interest.
@@darrinscott6612 Sounds like we are still living it.
@@thecruzking Well you have the Severan Dominate, a separatist state in the Calixis sector And the "Hounded True" Renegade chapter. maybe not powerful but they're root worthy underdogs.
6:43 and 6:18 are actual historical quotes. "retreat? hell we just got here!" was a quote from american soldier lloyd W. williams. The quote about the army being arrested was actually in reference to the british army in our timelines WW1. it was made by otto von bismark
Lloyd W. Williams:
(From wiki)
During World War One, Captain Williams was assigned to command the division's 51st Company in the 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines Regiment.
On June 3, 1918, a division of Marines was sent to support the French army at the Battle of Belleau Wood. Lloyd Williams was serving as a company commander of 51st Company, 2d Battalion, 5th Marines. As the Marines arrived, they found French troops retreating. When advised to withdraw by a French colonel at the defensive line just north of the village of Lucy-le-Bocage, Williams bluntly replied: "Retreat, Hell! We just got here!"
On June 11, 1918, Williams led an assault that routed the German defenders at Belleau Wood near Chateau-Thierry, France. Only 1 of the 10 officers and 16 of the 250 enlisted men survived or escaped injury. According to a French Major's report, after he ordered Williams to withdraw, Williams told him to "go to hell." Later, when Williams had been gassed and injured by shrapnel and lay wounded on the battlefield, he told the approaching medics, "Don't bother with me. Take care of my good men." He later died from a shell explosion as he was being evacuated.

From what I can gather, this is FUU military logic: "Oh, you have an enormous army compared to us? Alright, have fun with this fleet of flying battleships!"

Amazing job talking about Usonia.
Another thing to add is that I appreciate adding in real-world connections to native americans to the lore, which is something a lot of modern US education likes to skim over or ignore entirely.
Yeah I was expecting him to bring it up at some point while talking about the country’s origins.
I am glad it was mentioned but disappointed the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom is still just a footnote in the grand scheme of things. Usually it is never talked about or spun in a bullshit light, but yea. 50th state still just relegated to just being a tourist destination and military base than the cultural hot spot that it is.
@@HawaiianForgeStudios it is just a footnote. Not sure why you're complaining about Hawaii being a military base and hot tourist attraction (also pretending as if that's all it is). If Hawaii wasn't in the US receiving tons of federal tax dollars every year, it would just be another third-world getaway island with a previous history of being an Imperial Japanese holding.
Lmao 1920s America led by Rosevelt would grind whoever was left into dust
“The Maine was shot down by more advanced weapons than what Hispania possessed.”
Casuals: Usonia staged it!
Me, an Intellectual: Fenris did it to weaken Hispania and encourage Usonian militirization
EDIT: damn good to see slavery was beaten out earlier than IRL. This might be a slightly better timeline
I wonder why though... Usonia would be harder to take... wait unless they wanted them to enter the fight for Europa and have them distracted.
@@GreenBlueWalkthrough Fenris’ ultimate goal is to cause enough chaos and instability to take advantage and seize power. Rasputin is clearly willing to play the long game, and letting Usonia run rampant could demolish many powerful nations. Then it would be easy to cast them down with a Second Civil War if they became a problem. That’s exactly what he did with Rusviet.
@@multiversepatriot3148 the inclusion of Fenris makes every that happens require a second look. I like that
Well It Could Have Also Been Tesla's Troops Even If Unlikely It's Quite The Possibility Ya Know.
The early exit of slavery was a function of the longer revolutionary wars. Slavery didn't really take off in English speaking colonies until the English Civil War of the 1630's. Prior to then demographic pressure and religious/political factionalism had a constant stream of people leaving England who could be used as basic laborers for five to seven years to pay off the purchase of the boat ticket and a plot of land. When the civil wars started up suddenly there was a massive labor shortage and all that stopped. The colonies who were dependent upon exports for survival turned to the only other readily available labor population (given that Native Americans had been decimated by plagues). But, after England came out of the civil wars immigration started back up again.
It was only the states that were run by distant or former nobles who were trying to recreate a "gentry" system that developed and maintained large plantations. These are basically recreations of the English Manor system where you have owners who are low nobility responsible for local governance who as a class mediates between small farmers and craftsmen and the distant national authority. The large clans and marriage-alliances in this pseudo-caste system allowed for these small nobles to monopolize local offices in England. When the civil wars disrupted this and set England on the path to becoming a modern state with national institutions many former royalists of this stratum ended up in the Americas where they set about recreating their old manors using slaves instead of serfs.
The entrenched political power of these elites in our world set us up for entrenched slavery, since this American Gentry class viewed themselves as the best people for the job of politics, particularly state politics. In the story provided instead of having one singular revolutionary war backed in part by this gentry class (Washington himself was closely related to the Fairfields who were gentry in Northern England and instrumental in Parliamentary victory the Civil Wars), they were crushed in a series of revolutionary wars along with the New England old money merchants. This lead to political power being picked up by mid-sized farmers who didn't specialize in export-oriented cash crops and therefore didn't benefit from slavery nearly as much. The end of slavery in the very early 1800's makes a fair bit of sense since the differences in regional economies would have been substantially smaller and lack of a feudal-style elite meant that slavery would have lacked institutional support and centralized leadership in support. The US ended participation in the transatlantic slave trade in 1808 and set up anti-slavery patrols in 1820 in real life. I suspect that without the plantation system being so firmly entrenched that time frame would be reasonable for an end to American slavery period in this alternate.
We will be shouting the battle cry of freedom tonight
I love the history iron harvest has built for their game world. I hope they keep doing well and keep adding to it. I also wish there was a mod for HOI4 now that created the iron harvest world in HOI4
Usonia, Usonia, God shed His grace on thee!
So Atzlan is the mythical homeland of the atzecs. Does that mean Iron Harvest aztecs were never defeated? Or that mexico became independent of Hispania via an indegenous revolt? Or was their a indegenous nationalistic movement that formed mexican cultural and political identity stronger than hispanian influences? So many questions so many intrueging possibilities.
i think is probably that the first revolt of hidalgo make it and united states of atzlan become indepedent even before usonia
More likely just a change of name to make it sound different and cool
@@Overlord99762 often it is much more than that.
Saxony was the founder of germany and dresden is the capital for example. And it is called saxony not Germany. So the unification of the German states must have went completly different.
And Francia is still ruled by a king IIRC. Not emperor like napoleon III, not a republic etc. So maybe no revolution happened or was quickly defeated or after Louis XIIX was never driven out of the june Revolution or or or. And if napoleon did not exist, who was himself the result of coin tosses, the entire continental history would be vastly different.
The name changes often imply heavy differences compared to our own, as major events are changed, which lead to domino and runaway effects of their own.
Callingit "Atzlan" doesn't really mean anything, our timelines Mexico is already derived from an Aztec place name. Maybe it's an indigenous majority state, or more likely given the minimal changes being shown, a Mestizo majority state like today.
Nah, the Hispanians were defeated by Lion Jesus, and they decided to name their country in his honor.
"First we conquer you. Then we give you freedom through self government." Usonia
I appreciate KingArt games, and you guys, so much for actually making the consequences of Usonia’s imperialist actions clear. such a realistic and relevant conflict, and you nailed it.
What do you mean, they literally just copy and pasted early United States history and changed United States USA etc to Usonia. It is the most basic overview of all USA history just with mechs.

I must admit the backstory of this alternate history Earth is being fleshed out very well. :)
Honestly idk why video games haven't turned to alternate universes sooner. It's literally endless possibilities for content!
@@noahpaquet8357 The short answer it is a relatively new genre in science fiction. I doubt anyone really thought it would catch on at first. But i think popular novels like World in the Balance really helped it to grow in it's own niche.
A fair amount of it is just events that actually happened with the technology changed around.
@@SephirothRyu This is true.
As an American, this is very bitter sweet. The ideal we strive for and have fallen short of. The dream is that this is a land where we judge you by what you do not who your parents are, or your race, creed, or gender. Unfortunately, these high words are far easier to say than follow.
True
Where have we gone
Anime pfp, clearly your opinion is invalid.
Wow this is very interesting the way they changed their history ever so slightly, they even mention how the USS Maine was probably a setup! They sure did their homework creating this faction!
"Hey, I see an eagle. It's a Bald Eagle!"
"Oh, it screaming. Fascinating!"
"Wait, why does its size increasing? Maybe it's a huge eagle?"
"Sh*t, it's not an eagle. IT'S USONIAN AIRSHIP!"
I really hope Iron Harvest introduces naval units or even just Albion as a faction. Just imagine being able to do a D-day in Egypt with Mechs.
*"Every Man, a King plays"*
The latter third reads lines straight out of Dan Carlin's 'The American Peril', which I suppose is a fantastic influence to have. I'd encourage most folks here to give that podcast a listen- if alt-history and viddocs like this are your thing, Dan Carlin's history podcasts will be enjoyable for you.
So Usonia is basically at the half-way mark between the Confederacy and the Union, with a little Steampunk thrown in for good measure....
I really hope that Iron Harvest expands into other game genres. A battlefield sort of fps game taking place in this setting would be amazing.
I'd like to point out that the Usonian walkers that fought for the Polanians at 13:20 basically have the Kosciusko Squadron logo, which is one of many neat historical easter eggs.
“ *a bunch of alternate names* ...and the Hawaiian Islands...”
Hawaii: Don’t mind me, I’m just chilling here.
Cool take on an alternate version of America and its history. Love that slavery ended and women's suffrage both came early.
5:15 Fun Fact: for those not familiar with US history, these were actual American Political parties that existed. The difference was that the IRL ones were different groups arguing over how the constitution should be written while the in game parties are more like stand ins for the Democrat and Republican parties of today, minus whatever political shenanigans aforementioned parties may or may not be involved in.

Man, I love how much influence y'all are getting. Usonia looks great!
Sweet, I wonder how many 1920+ nations we will see.
Also, looking at all the smog coming out of those airships, drones, gunships, and sky bikes I can’t help but think: Good bye, ozone layer!
I particularly like how the real world attitudes of the nation are woven into this lore.
I will never not understand how this channel doesn't have at least a million subscribers.

Twas only a matter of time before there's a video tie in to the latest DLC for Iron Harvest, featuring its version of America, a country that speaks loud and carries the biggest stick it could find.
Anyway, I hope we'll see additional factions in Iron Harvest soon, especially ones from Scythe.

Seeing America get some Iron Harvest love, plus seeing Iron Harvest itself not be a one-and-done experience, really do bring a smile to my face. And holy cow those soldier concepts look amazing!
Usonia is better version of the USA so let's just hope Iron harvest version of Japan won't do those things.
You know what I mean.
@@danubeisreallypeculiarrive7944 I dunno if they're necessarily better. Seems to be a tad more imperialistic than OTL America. And considering we were pretty imperialistic already, that's saying something.
cool, and a lot of "alternate history" details really rings the bell and makes iron harvest interesting
i'd like to see some more alternate nations in the future, perhaps normandy or even byzantium if the the middle east situation in this universe supports it
I hope they don't abandon this game it has so much potential and the next DLC should add a shadow government trying to gain control of Usonia
Yet again Tesla and Edison are fighting about who is better. TESLA IS BETTER

@@dekuthetechpriestoflondon6791 I want to report you for being a great guy.
Yeah, but Edison was more of marketing and infrastructure guy. He didn't need to invent. He was the guy who got other people's ideas actually made and sold them. The fact that he took credit for literally everything was a part of marketing, and while it was a dick move and he was an ass personally there was still a method behind all of it.
@@Aesoporific Yep and he knew how to sell so even if he copied something strait from another scientist he would make like 5 times the amount of money.

@@axelpatrickb.pingol3228 fair enough, though as a nationality identifier, calling US citizens ‘Usonians’ would make more sense than ‘Americans’. “American” without context just seems confusing, and probably a bit arrogant with context. Imagine if people in France called themselves Europeans and just expected everyone else to know that it refers to one nation rather than the whole continent.
Getting some hardcore history vibes off this read. Great job!
everybody gangsta till the air warships begin singing it aint me
I hope for an italian kingdom, a french empire or a spanish state in a future dlc

The containing expansion 1920+ // Iron Harvest is quite wonderous.
I am looking for to see what shall occur now that the yanks have gone "Over There" to Europa.
I wonder if there is a usonian marine corps cause that would be awsome to see in game and if so whenever I blow something up I want them to shout "SEMPER FI" or the usonian equivalent to semper fi
Are there Crayons in 1920?
@@inquisitordave2751 yup
Laughs in 75th Ranger Regiment (hopefully they have some sort of equivalent). HOOAH!
@@weaselwolf8425 well they have paratroopers so its believable
Hear me out... a channel that gives modern and historical nations, the same treatment that the Templin Institute gives fiction.
*Hispania is mentioned*
Me: *happy spanish noises*
I've long wondered what the American equivalent in 1920+ would look like and now we'll get to see it!
I wonder if technology would have developed more toward walkers if we simply never discovered rubber
Imagine the reaction of most Americans being told that in Usonia, the Republicans and Democrats are one combined political party!
They used to be. The Democratic-Republican Party dissolved in 1834.
Sounds a lot like Antares right now
