@@crusader2112I can imagine some focuses for the smaller German states, and perhaps for Brandenburg to turn into Prussia again or become communist to support the Soviets.
Video idea: What if a different German-based Kingdom/Duchy (Like Bavaria, Württemberg, Mecklenburg-Schwerin & Strelitz, Oldenburg, Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, Baden, Hesse, Saxony, or Hannover) formed Germany instead of Prussia?
Hey videntis! HUGE fan of your work! Very happy that you managed to make the video work! Suggestion: What if Henry, Duke of Cornwall, son of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon lived to succeed his father as Henry IX? England still in the fold of Rome would be quite the scenario!
@@Videntis.History For one Henry would remain loyal to his beloved Catherine. He would streghten ties to Charles V (Taking Mary of England as his second wife) and the tudors may Focus on Conqueroring the British isles
You're the best! Suggestion: What if Alexander II of russia (the liberator) wasn't assasinated and he succeded on his plans to make Russia a constitutional monarchy?
This is amazing, Mr. Videntis. Dollfus being alive but with him restoring the Hapburg monarchy is an intelligent move. Because the Hapburgs were the only option for Austria to be reunited and remain stable as a catholic government. I would love to see part two of this one, where Austria formed the Allied Powers against the Soviet Union and planned to bring Romanvos back into power but as figureheads to the Russian citizens. But this is a tremendous alternate-history scenario, my friend. Please keep up the fantastic work, and no matter what happens to anybody, always be encouraged by what you are doing. Do your best, be creative, and always remember you deserve respect and recognition! And I do have some questions so far related to the video. Would Austria-Hungary still be called the Austrian Empire, or is it now the Austrian Empire, and would Austria industrialize the rest of Europe? And why did Chancellor Dollfus say liberalism and capitalism are evil of "evil ideology?" Could you clarify what he means by that? For future alternate scenarios: What if William the Conqueror had become King of France instead of King of England, and what if he had united France and the House of Normandy became the new royal dynasty of a united France? How would things have been different if William the Conqueror had become king of France, and would England be invaded? Would William the Conqueror still try to take over England or focus his rule on France instead? What if Oda Nobunaga ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oda_Nobunaga, www.britannica.com/biography/Oda-Nobunaga, and japancitytour.com/oda-nobunaga/) had survived from his assassination attempt and what if he had led Japan into greatness? What many people need to learn about Oda Nobunaga is that he thinks outside the box. There is a documentary series on Netflix called The Age of Samurai. Oda Nobunaga has his men use muskets that wash ashore and can be used as advantages against their enemies. What if Oda Nobunaga's cleverness and ingenuity lead Japan to victory over the Imjin War? With Japan being united, and with Oda Nobunaga becoming Shogun, he could modernize the nobility along with Samurai to use muskets and engineered their own cannons from European counterparts, Japan under Nonunaga Shounagate would have easily conquered many territories from Ming China and could lead Oda Nobunaga either placing the Emperor of Japan as the new Heavenly Mandate Emperor or put one of his sons, who are more contempt to rule Ming China as Grand-Dayimo Emperor of China. It could be possible that this Empire of Japan could have colonized Siberia and Alaska much earlier and become a dominating power. What if the Marathas ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maratha_Empire, www.britannica.com/place/India/The-Marathas, www.britannica.com/topic/Maratha-Empire, and th-cam.com/video/ST53gYEX_nY/w-d-xo.html) under the Bhonsle Dynasty ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhonsle_dynasty and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhonsle_(clan)) had to remain stable and united and manage to form Graeter India ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_India and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akhand_Bharat)? What if this led the Marathas to kick the British out of India, and what if this led all the Indian kingdoms to swear loyalty to the Marathas? With the Marathas uniting all of India, the Chhapparati of the Maratha Empire would have become Samrat ( Emperor) of a united India, and Greater India would be the union with Indonesia, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Pakistan, Cambodia, East Timor, Myanmar (Burma), Singapore, Champa, Fuana, ( modern-day southern Vietnam), Thailand, and that includes the Philippines, Afghanistan, Tibet, Yunnan, and Persia itself. What if the Marathas formed a Greater India Empire based on unity, economic opportunities, settlements, and co-existing of ethnic groups of people with different religions? Would the Marathas modernize similarly to Ethiopia and Japan, and would the Marathas do trade with other South and East Asia countries? And what if the Marathas form an alliance with other countries, such as the African continent and the Ottomans? Which of these ideas do you like best, Mr. Videntis? Which ones are your favorites and why? I am sorry if the links are too much; I want to be more specific about those topics.
Hey Videntis! I would like to see if you could do a video about where the Iroquois stand their ground along with some other tribal nations such as the Sioux against the Europeans, and them kicking them out or a lesser-european North America!

One misconception: Northern Transylvania wasn't majoritary Hungarian land. Not sure where this comes from (maybe people assume Hitler made fair borders?!) but it can be easily checked on Wikipedia on Second Vienna Award/North Transylvania: 50% Romanians, 37% Hungarians according to Romanians, 48% Romanians, 38% Hungarians according to Hungarians. So both sides agree in 1940 that it was majoritary Romanian. Far from settling matters, the Vienna Award had exacerbated relations between Romania and Hungary. It did not solve the nationality problem by separating all Magyars from all Romanians. Some 1,150,000 to 1,300,000 Romanians, or 48 percent to over 50 percent of the population of the ceded territory, depending upon whose statistics are used, remained north of the new frontier, while about 500,000 Magyars (other Hungarian estimates go as high as 800,000, Romanian as low as 363,000) continued to reside in the south. - Keith Hitchins
Nice stuff ❤. What if the Turkic Migration never happened? What if Columbus was right all along about Geography in the World? What if the Black Death plague happened today on the 21st century? What if the Ottoman Empire industrialized? What if the Ottoman Empire survived and became a Nuclear Weapons-armed Powerhouse? What if the Abassid Caliphate and Industrialized with Steam Power? (Steampunk Islamic Golden Age alt history) What if Slaves in the Swahili Coast overthrew their masters and Created a Sultanate of their own? (called the Kiswahili Sultanate)
interesting scenario, but in 1934 austria was also hit with with great depression, austrian army had 50 000 men. I also don't get, why romania would be pressured, if the little entente aliance was still strong and their combined population would be almost triple of austrian(including southern germans annexed in 1934). With all little entente armies mobilized, they could probably have 4.5 million troops. Also, even with intense training, austria can't possibly build up big army in 2 years
Horty only denied to crown the Habsburgs back, because while the Emperor have come to Budapesta, the romanian and yugoslav forces where ready at the border to invade Hungary. And he didn't even deny Otto to return, he asked him to come back later in a better time, because no great power supported it. In this timeline I believe Horty would have brought Otto back on the trone immediately
Hi sorry for being annoying and asking below most of posts but I am curious. Did You consider my Theodoric the Great idea? Expanded it like You wanted. It was from Your crusades video. Thanks in advance. Also, W content. Keep it up!
This scenario makes Avery little sense in my opinion, I cannot imagine the British allowing France to simply dissolve germany, Keep them in check after attacking Austria? Yes, but dissolving the counry entirely? No way. Britain didn't let France do it after WW1 why would they now? There's also no way Poland would be allowed to annex that much german territory, nor do I think they'd want to. It happened after WW2 because the soviets moved Poland westwards, in this scenario they don't lose any territory in the east, all they would achieve is gaining a big german minority within their borders. Denmark similarly wouldn't be interested in moving the border further south, they had the chance to do that after WW1 but the final borders made a lot of sense, only small German and danish minorities remained own either side if the border, not even the nazis tried to change the border after they occupied Denmark. And why would both France and Britain let Austria take over so many countries? They get rid of germany and then let Austria become a theocratic empire and annex a ton of neighboring countries?
you brought up fair points, but the UK wasnt involved in the war and wouldn't have any say in the peace treaty. Poland wanted more lower silesian lands after ww1 so if the occupied Berlin they could take whatever they wanted while holding the city. Fair point on Denmark, it was just a bit weird having a Hannoverian enclave north of the Kiel canal. France would be preoccupied with their German puppets and wouldn't invade Austria after just allying with them if they were both right wing governments. Austria wasn't really a theocratic empire, they were just a massive federation, sorry if I didn't show that well on the map. Each addition entity was chopped into individual federations that were part of the larger Federal States of Austria. It wasn't direct Austrian rule. Sorry if that didn't make sense. Also, in this timeline, Italy is very strong and allied with both France and Austria, so why would France destroy a strong alliance as the Soviets were growing stronger. Hope that makes sense and thanks for taking the time to send a fair, respectful comment.
Dolphus was so based. I wish he took over Germany and reverse anchlussed instead of Hitler. Think Austria would form a new HRE under fascist and Christian guidance and between HRE, Italy, an intermarium, and eventually Spain would form a neutral bloc against a growing USSR and a French Commune.
The ideology presented in the second part of the video resembles Mussolini's variant of fascism, which makes sense. Its not an ideology that creates wealth, but it would likely maintain stability. It would move the border between western and central Europe to the west, but might last for a while.
Hi Videntis! It's allways a pleasure to see your work online again,despite the grotesque youtube censorship. I am Sorry to bother and harass about it,but is there a possibility that you coinsider a very rich and captivating subject that I never saw online on any alt-history,about what if the Cristeros won their war against the anti-clerical mexican government?
I see that there's a Spanish translation for the title, and it says "¿Y si el Anchulss falló?" Which is kinda wrong. It should be "¿Y si el Achuluss falla?" Or "fallaba?"
Yeah, also the Italian translation is wrong for the same reason. Instead of "E se l'Anschluss fallisse ?" it should be "E se l'Anschluss fosse fallito ?" .
i have an idea. what if the bulgars, instead of some of them fleeing to the balkans, they could flee to either anatolia or persia. the rest also still migrate to the volga river.
hey man loved the based catholic ending but the realism is too low but if thats ur aproach np just letting u know i like that sweet spot where its something that i would like but that also could have happend
It’d be interesting to see how Britain and France would react to the Soviet invasion. Based off their strategy of appeasement during the early phases of Nazi Germany’s expansion, it’s likely they would go about it the same way, not acting before Poland and Austria have already been overrun
Can we please get a 2 part alternate timeline. What if America went full Colonial. Realistic, not extravagant. Greenland and English Carribean are purchased and settled. BAJA and Yucatan Pennisulas were also taken during the mexican american War. What if Imperial Federation was formed after ww1.
@@Videntis.HistoryIdk. I just really want a single timeline with both colonial America and imperial federation. I've seen so many alt histories on both but never a single timeline. Imagine if both Britian and America were far more Powerful in the Early 1900's before ww2 and Cold war Plus America has more Land. And British Empire doesn't Fall only contracts into a smaller more unified constitutional Monarchy. All in the same timeline. Not separate like all other alt-hist youtubers.
@@JTL1776 A scenario where America becomes more imperialist is likely one where they conquer Canada. This isn't mutually exclusive with the imperial federation project, but it would likely mean that there are less countries that are formed out of the federation. I would say a good starting point is one where Napoleon wins the Napoleonic wars and America and France are close allies, with both countries coordinating their spheres of influence, but France begins to lose their grip over Continental Europe by the 1850s, and the UK eventually retaking the mantle of the preeminent world power. Important to note that a Napoleonic victory means more foreign colonies are up for grabs by the British due to not having support from continental rulers.
I am deeply offended by the so called 'Real History' part. It makes Dollfuß into some kind of benign savior figure, something he certainly was not. He was a brutal dictator with all that comes with it. Also, the Austrian Civil War was not fought between the Communists and Austrian Government, but between the paramilitary forces affiliated with the Socialist Party and paramilitary forces of the Dollfuß regime supported by the Austrian police and army, and was the culmination of months of brutal crackdowns against the socialists and workers unions after Dollfuß had illegally suspended the Austrian Parliament in a kind of low key Coup d'Eta. As for being Anti-Racism, Dollfuß himself introduced antisemitic rules into his university-fraternity, and the Austrofashism Regime, while not as antisemitic as nazi-germany, still had strong antisemitic policies and openly discriminated against everything not deemed 'Austrian' in the civil service aka jews Regarding the May-Constitution, and the so-called, and I quote, 'god given human rights', there were no rights guaranteed, that we would recognize as 'Human Rights'. All it did was aknowlage some baisc rights, that on paper sound progressive for the time, but were conditioned on the regime not restricting them, which they were always allowed to do, as they deemed fit, and which - no surprise there - they did restrict during the whole existence of the regime. SO in fact it was not worth the paper it was written on. At least read the Wikipedia Article.
I mean I read a few books and they didn’t portray him until the way you did at all so I will trust my actual books over your Wikipedia article. There were no anti semetic laws I came across but if there were some you can point to, I am happy to admit I’m wrong cause I’m always looking to leave more
Second. Many of the "positive" things about Dolfuss's ideology could be said for Franco as well. We got to see what that looked like in practice. No extermination camps, but thousands dead in unmasked masked graves is hardly a positive outcome.
@@Videntis.History A regime does not have to enact antisemitc laws to be antisemitic. I suggest reading 'Antisemitismus in Österreich 1933-1938' by Gertrude Enderle-Burcel (Hg.) and Ilse Reiter-Zatloukal (Hg.) As for your books on Dollfuß, all I can say is, that many books on him written over the last century dont hold up to the standarts of historical research, as the Austrian Peoples Party has since the refounding of Austria tried to downplay Austrofashism, and especially the person Engelbert Dollfuß. I would be highly critical of any biography written by persons with connections to the ÖVP, which, to this day, is involved in the running of a highly controversial Dollfuß Museum, criticized for spreading a false narrativ.
The only issue I have with this is that France and Poland have no reason to go to war with Germany other than a land grab of land that they have little to no claim to. Politically that would never work out and historically never has either.
It would be interesting if you made a video about a Republican victory in spain or a Makhnovist victory in Ukraine. Also, I've been working on a scenario about the failure of the Xinhai Revolution and I can give it to you on your discord server if you are interested. Its unfinished and sloppy but its a very good foundation.
at 11:50 you say that Austria annexes the 'Banat region' but then on the map they dont actually annex the banat region (which is partially owned by romania)
I acknowledge that alt-history is inherently biased just like any story is. I also realise that any kind of historical content(?) is biased and political aswell. I just wanna ask if you are a conservative or just simply a great story teller. I apologise if this is offending or sounds agressive in any way, english isn't my main language so please dont take any offense.
no worries, I choose to stylistically write the scripts from the perspective of the part the video is about. Hence I paint them in the best light and nitpick things I can for their enemies. A good example of this was in my Crusader video where called the Eastern Romans the Byzantines or the Greeks. I never called them the Romans. The goal of the videos is to highlight a lesser known aspect of history and tell a good story because at the end of the day, alt history is entertainment, not education. Obviously I made the Fatherland Front look really good, but tbh, I have not read enough about them (only the few books listed on my patreon) so I cannot really say how their economic and social policies would work. Hope that clears anything up.
Ok so the territorial loss of Germany Excluding the divisions and creations of new States are, not quite so, realistic, In any conceivable Way… Yes of course Belgium and France would partition the rhineland, But Poland would not Annex Silesia or Königsberg, that Huge influx of German citizens would screw with Polands Politics. Also after ww1, immense pressure was put on Denmark to Annex all of Schleswig, But They declined In favour of self-determination. They would never accept the reannexation of territories They didn’t want. But not including that criticism, good video, like Damn, the maps, the script, the creativity and knowledge you put into this is awesome!
Can you do a video about the Empresa de China. A plan by the Spanish empire under Philip II to conquer The Ming Dynasty with help from Chinese Christians, Japanese, and Filipinos.
i belive that the brisish, would not let france to have any german land because they need some european major power (on land) thaz could stop the frenches and pressure them in political games alongside with the british.
but as a hungarian i like this ending, like we got our empire back with our lands, trianon got cancelled, main point that romania weakened, and we won't get like half decade long communism. With a heavily chirsian state i belive that hungarian corroption cold be less and the empire gdp and hdi could be on top in europe. With the german and chezh heavy factories alongside the austrian and hungarian light indrustriest we wouldn't have any problem with production. The hungarian agriculture and the raw materials from transilvania could feed the empire. But the political rulers must do something about the differences about nations or else the empire would dissolve itself.

France would be preoccupied with their German puppets and wouldn't invade Austria after just allying with them if they were both right wing governments. Austria wasn't really a theocratic empire, they were just a massive federation, sorry if I didn't show that well on the map. Each addition entity was chopped into individual federations that were part of the larger Federal States of Austria. It wasn't direct Austrian rule. Sorry if that didn't make sense. Also, in this timeline, Italy is very strong and allied with both France and Austria, so why would France destroy a strong alliance as the Soviets were growing stronger. Hope that makes sense and thanks for taking the time to send a fair, respectful comment.
Dolphus was so based. I wish he took over Germany and reverse anchlussed instead of Hitler. Think Austria would form a new HRE under fascist and Christian guidance and between HRE, Italy, an intermarium, and eventually Spain would form a neutral bloc against a growing USSR and a French Commune.
Amazing video!
Glad you think so!
Britain would never allow this, France has upset the continental balance and must be reigned in.
Very based video, very well done too!
Glad you think so!
As a “real” German I hate the separatists more than anything
Please make another part!!!
The ideology presented in the second part of the video resembles Mussolini's variant of fascism, which makes sense. Its not an ideology that creates wealth, but it would likely maintain stability. It would move the border between western and central Europe to the west, but might last for a while.
Hi Videntis!
It's allways a pleasure to see your work online again,despite the grotesque youtube censorship.
I am Sorry to bother and harass about it,but is there a possibility that you coinsider a very rich and captivating subject that I never saw online on any alt-history,about what if the Cristeros won their war against the anti-clerical mexican government?
i would love to do that, but I would need some help as i am not very familiar with the topic
Can you make what if Alexander lived longer pt 3 plz
The French Italian Austrian Alliance is literally Age of Imperialism
Lore of What if AUSTRIA Anschlussed GERMANY? Momentum 100
hey, this is a great video! Are you able to do part three about Alexander's empire next?
No, I’m not planning on making another part of the Alexander series, though I have a few Alexander videos coming soon
@@Videntis.History ok then.
Finally some good map of Austria and not something atrotcius I am looking at you rewriting history
This is great stuff! Interesting Austrian focus on Catholic social doctrine as an alternative to socialism. We want -- nay, *need* -- part 2 asap!
Can't wait for it man! You're awesome! Go Habsburgs! AEIOU!
not really habsburgs here, but yeah AEIOU

We making it out of the Congress of Vienna with this one
W alt history.. GET THIS MAN HIS 10k PEOPLE 🔥❤️
This would never happen. Britain would have stopped the treaty because it upset the balance of power in Europe.
amazing video
Thanks!
I see that there's a Spanish translation for the title, and it says "¿Y si el Anchulss falló?"
Which is kinda wrong.
It should be "¿Y si el Achuluss falla?" Or "fallaba?"
I used deepl translator, I will update it though thansk
@@Videntis.History hmm, weird, because I consider DeepL very accurate with Spanish as well
Yeah, also the Italian translation is wrong for the same reason.
Instead of "E se l'Anschluss fallisse ?" it should be "E se l'Anschluss fosse fallito ?" .
i have an idea. what if the bulgars, instead of some of them fleeing to the balkans, they could flee to either anatolia or persia. the rest also still migrate to the volga river.
4:30 suprisingly this video didnt get banned for using this audio
Do you know about the youtuber Jabzy? If so, do you watch him?
Yeah why
@@Videntis.History I was just wondering. Do you like his content?
hey man loved the based catholic ending but the realism is too low but if thats ur aproach np just letting u know
i like that sweet spot where its something that i would like but that also could have happend
Yeah this wasn’t super realistic normally they are a bit closer
Ik ur busy with the Hellenistic era rp and the england alt history but PLEASE make a part 2
It’d be interesting to see how Britain and France would react to the Soviet invasion. Based off their strategy of appeasement during the early phases of Nazi Germany’s expansion, it’s likely they would go about it the same way, not acting before Poland and Austria have already been overrun
probably true
Can we please get a 2 part alternate timeline.
What if America went full Colonial. Realistic, not extravagant. Greenland and English Carribean are purchased and settled. BAJA and Yucatan Pennisulas were also taken during the mexican american War.
What if Imperial Federation was formed after ww1.
AKA, what if the Anglo-American world order was stronger.
whats the POD
@@Videntis.HistoryIdk.
I just really want a single timeline with both colonial America and imperial federation.
I've seen so many alt histories on both but never a single timeline.
Imagine if both Britian and America were far more Powerful in the Early 1900's before ww2 and Cold war
Plus America has more Land.
And
British Empire doesn't Fall only contracts into a smaller more unified constitutional Monarchy.
All in the same timeline. Not separate like all other alt-hist youtubers.
@@JTL1776if you write the timeline, jsut give me an 1k word outline, i will make it a video
@@JTL1776 A scenario where America becomes more imperialist is likely one where they conquer Canada. This isn't mutually exclusive with the imperial federation project, but it would likely mean that there are less countries that are formed out of the federation.
I would say a good starting point is one where Napoleon wins the Napoleonic wars and America and France are close allies, with both countries coordinating their spheres of influence, but France begins to lose their grip over Continental Europe by the 1850s, and the UK eventually retaking the mantle of the preeminent world power. Important to note that a Napoleonic victory means more foreign colonies are up for grabs by the British due to not having support from continental rulers.
Video idea:What if Switzerland united Germany?
I am deeply offended by the so called 'Real History' part. It makes Dollfuß into some kind of benign savior figure, something he certainly was not. He was a brutal dictator with all that comes with it. Also, the Austrian Civil War was not fought between the Communists and Austrian Government, but between the paramilitary forces affiliated with the Socialist Party and paramilitary forces of the Dollfuß regime supported by the Austrian police and army, and was the culmination of months of brutal crackdowns against the socialists and workers unions after Dollfuß had illegally suspended the Austrian Parliament in a kind of low key Coup d'Eta.
As for being Anti-Racism, Dollfuß himself introduced antisemitic rules into his university-fraternity, and the Austrofashism Regime, while not as antisemitic as nazi-germany, still had strong antisemitic policies and openly discriminated against everything not deemed 'Austrian' in the civil service aka jews
Regarding the May-Constitution, and the so-called, and I quote, 'god given human rights', there were no rights guaranteed, that we would recognize as 'Human Rights'. All it did was aknowlage some baisc rights, that on paper sound progressive for the time, but were conditioned on the regime not restricting them, which they were always allowed to do, as they deemed fit, and which - no surprise there - they did restrict during the whole existence of the regime. SO in fact it was not worth the paper it was written on.
At least read the Wikipedia Article.
I mean I read a few books and they didn’t portray him until the way you did at all so I will trust my actual books over your Wikipedia article. There were no anti semetic laws I came across but if there were some you can point to, I am happy to admit I’m wrong cause I’m always looking to leave more
Second. Many of the "positive" things about Dolfuss's ideology could be said for Franco as well. We got to see what that looked like in practice.
No extermination camps, but thousands dead in unmasked masked graves is hardly a positive outcome.
@@Videntis.History A regime does not have to enact antisemitc laws to be antisemitic. I suggest reading 'Antisemitismus in Österreich 1933-1938' by Gertrude Enderle-Burcel (Hg.) and Ilse Reiter-Zatloukal (Hg.)
As for your books on Dollfuß, all I can say is, that many books on him written over the last century dont hold up to the standarts of historical research, as the Austrian Peoples Party has since the refounding of Austria tried to downplay Austrofashism, and especially the person Engelbert Dollfuß. I would be highly critical of any biography written by persons with connections to the ÖVP, which, to this day, is involved in the running of a highly controversial Dollfuß Museum, criticized for spreading a false narrativ.
Blackest coal I've seen all day
The only issue I have with this is that France and Poland have no reason to go to war with Germany other than a land grab of land that they have little to no claim to. Politically that would never work out and historically never has either.
Part 2?
this world is a nightmare
why? oh your croatian?
@@Videntis.Historylmao
It would be interesting if you made a video about a Republican victory in spain or a Makhnovist victory in Ukraine.
Also, I've been working on a scenario about the failure of the Xinhai Revolution and I can give it to you on your discord server if you are interested. Its unfinished and sloppy but its a very good foundation.
if you can get it over 1k words that would be great
@@Videntis.History It's in the form of a bulleted list of events right now. I have it from around 1850 or so to 1920
@@Videntis.Historyis that enough?
Great video, but the „civil war“ in february 1934 was not against communists, it was against socialists. 👀
According to the books I read they were Marxist communists
part 2 cannot come faster
at 11:50 you say that Austria annexes the 'Banat region' but then on the map they dont actually annex the banat region (which is partially owned by romania)
Sorry, I meant the banat part of Serbia, thx for letting me know
Saw this vid before it got youtube ban hammer
thanks
I was confused because the title was in Swedish so I thought I found a person that had the same niche interest as me in Sweden
What if austria reunited germany later on in this timeline?
that could happen
i got a funny idea; what if Oceania from 1984 (the book, not movie) existed during WW2.
I haven’t read the book
best content to watch while i eat!!!! LES GOOOO)))
Glad you liked it
My God....backfired is right.
how do you make these maps?
I acknowledge that alt-history is inherently biased just like any story is. I also realise that any kind of historical content(?) is biased and political aswell. I just wanna ask if you are a conservative or just simply a great story teller. I apologise if this is offending or sounds agressive in any way, english isn't my main language so please dont take any offense.
no worries, I choose to stylistically write the scripts from the perspective of the part the video is about. Hence I paint them in the best light and nitpick things I can for their enemies. A good example of this was in my Crusader video where called the Eastern Romans the Byzantines or the Greeks. I never called them the Romans. The goal of the videos is to highlight a lesser known aspect of history and tell a good story because at the end of the day, alt history is entertainment, not education. Obviously I made the Fatherland Front look really good, but tbh, I have not read enough about them (only the few books listed on my patreon) so I cannot really say how their economic and social policies would work. Hope that clears anything up.
13:18 cue Hell March
been a while since ive seen an alt history video where the context doesn't take up half the video
yeah im not huge on context, brief intro to what happens, and then get into the scenario
Ok so the territorial loss of Germany Excluding the divisions and creations of new States are, not quite so, realistic, In any conceivable Way… Yes of course Belgium and France would partition the rhineland, But Poland would not Annex Silesia or Königsberg, that Huge influx of German citizens would screw with Polands Politics. Also after ww1, immense pressure was put on Denmark to Annex all of Schleswig, But They declined In favour of self-determination. They would never accept the reannexation of territories They didn’t want.
But not including that criticism, good video, like Damn, the maps, the script, the creativity and knowledge you put into this is awesome!
Another Good Ending.
This Austria is based in all the right ways
Sequel please
I love this new borders of Austria
I love youtube's blatant cencorship of history.
nah i messed something up, so I cant blame youtube
@@Videntis.HistoryYou good😊😊😊😊
Thank god we presume dolfuss wasn’t a dipshit and did not trust mises in this timeline.
Let's reach those 10k likes!!!
thanks
This is a completely unheard of yet completely plausible alt history. Austria isn't in Danger, Austria is the danger!
Man… this video getting 10,000 likes is a pipe dream… part 2 is dead :(
Best timeline
Can you do a video about the Empresa de China. A plan by the Spanish empire under Philip II to conquer The Ming Dynasty with help from Chinese Christians, Japanese, and Filipinos.
Can U explain that a bit more
i belive that the brisish, would not let france to have any german land because they need some european major power (on land) thaz could stop the frenches and pressure them in political games alongside with the british.
but as a hungarian i like this ending, like we got our empire back with our lands, trianon got cancelled, main point that romania weakened, and we won't get like half decade long communism. With a heavily chirsian state i belive that hungarian corroption cold be less and the empire gdp and hdi could be on top in europe. With the german and chezh heavy factories alongside the austrian and hungarian light indrustriest we wouldn't have any problem with production. The hungarian agriculture and the raw materials from transilvania could feed the empire. But the political rulers must do something about the differences about nations or else the empire would dissolve itself.
I think that this is wary unrealistic but it is still a got video
Glad you liked it
