Italy was the guarantor of Austria's independence. During the 1934 coup d'état, Italy intervened and opposed annexation. Four years later, the balance of power was in Germany's favor.
Thanks for your comment That entire dynamic is why I have Italy supporting Austrian partisans. Their status as buffer state between themselves and Germany was incredibly vital Hope you have a good day
Whilst I don't think Austro-German Unification would have prevented the fall of the Weimar Republic, I still think this is a really cool and fun idea and im excited to see how the scenario progresses
Well the fall of the Weimar Republic was a very varied thing but it’s far from predestined. Much of it was a national feeling of humiliation that would definitely be affected by Germany being finally “united”, which would make them see the entente in a much better light.
This is very well conceived. I could see Wilson supporting Austrian integration into Germany, since he was typically more "lenient" to the Germans during the Versailles negotiations. He would probably support it on the condition of a referendum or something like that.
Thanks! I have been trying to improve my audio as I have continued to refine my production process. Please let me know if it's better by this week's episode!
This is one of the most unrated history channals Sorry for my english, I want to say Que buen vídeo, es excelente como manejas tus conocimientos en historia, a seguir adelante y un afectuoso saludo desde Uruguay
Thanks for the feedback! It may be because I recorded that last part later on with a better setup. I fix my audio setup later on so I hope you stay tuned!
Eu acho que é interessante um video de: se a unificação da grande Alemanha tivesse acontecido?. Ao invés da pequena Alemanha. O DGP Mundo, tem um vídeo que fala sobre oq é essas duas formas de unificação, É no video que fala sobre a unificação alemã, italiana e sobre a guerra franco-prussiana.
I use Photoshop with the QBam base map and references linked in the description to make the individual layers for the nations, after effects for the animations and premiere for the editing and graphics. It is quite a lot of money up front so I would look into alternative software, but that’s how I’ve been doing it!
I enjoyed this scenario abd your editing, its a very good video, but i still want to ask one question. What about Spartacist? The communist forces in Germany was very strong already, and with foreighn suport to separatist and further instability, the chances, that Spartacist already had, would increase even more. I understand that this even more problematic for the democratic scenario, but wouldnt it bring more nuance to scenario? Also, would me an intresting scenarion in itself, with implications of cooperation with the soviets and therefore even more consolidation of reactionary forces in Europe. But, anyway, keep up the good work and good luck to you.
Hi there, thanks for your comment I had figured that with an Austrian inclusion the Spartacist movement would not have gained any more significant traction. While they were important for interwar Germany, I figured it wouldn’t be worth mentioning them as it would have been a plot point soon abandoned. I have another timeline that involves the spartacists specifically so I hope you stay tuned for that!
@@LoreDad Its just seems more logical, that communist would be a main enemy of separatists-hitlerites, and they would weaken themself and the freikorps, so goverment can retake control without using freikorps and collobareiting with proto-fascist. And yes im definetly intrested in that, spartacists rebellion is such a big point of diversion for potentially all of the world, if they can support industrialization of russia. Even more with your style, i would love to see what you prepared.
7:38 A partition of the western Prussian territories like that doesn't make sense. OTL Northrhine-Westfalia was a product of the Allied occupation after WWII. I don't see such a federal entity under different circumstances. There are no cultural ties between the Northern Rhineland and Westfalia. The Rhineland should be united and Westfalia it's own entity or united with one of it's northern neighbours.
I know it's late but after my knowledge Switzerland strictly refused to Annex Vorarlberg because the Region was too poor and would weaken Swiss economy
Yes I have the land Austria took from Hungary subtly changing over. Frankly, I forgot Hungary owned the burgenland. They try to reclaim it later on so I hope you stay tuned to see!
Its withdrawn and nothing comes of it. I figured that it would have not changed in its outcome in this timeline. Thanks for the comment!@@randombread7535
Thank you for the feedback! My logic was that while the original Republic of German Austria would have been pro Anschluss, the more conservative Catholics would be afraid of Prussian political dominance. That, and Italy would have been agitating them as well.
@@LoreDadbut why would they be more afraid of prussian agression after autocratic prussian monarchy was replaced with a democracy and a weakrn prussia
Its more that the Prussian state was so much larger than the rest of the states within Weimar Germany, and with that political power comes envy, and the Rhinish without representation. Austrian catholic nationalists follow suit@@Schweizer_Politik
Thank you for your comment. I think you’re absolutely right. I will attempt to give more insight into germanys political situation in the next episodes. Hope you have a good day!
I know you wanted to remove hitler from the picture, but it would have made more sense to have him serve his original five year prison sentence in full
I was worried that hitlers presence after the prison would have only ensured his rise, even if it was delayed, so I had him imprisoned for life instead thanks to the fact that he tried Litterally revolting for a revolution while the country was at risk of being partitioned. Far more treasonous then his beer hall putsch of our timeline Thanks again for all of your comments! Good feedback and insight.
Thank you for your comment, I will respond to each now I decided to not go with further german concessions for the sake of preserving democracy in Weimar Germany. Losing more land would have only caused more far right presence.

This is an interesting scenario; I don't think most alternate history channels would cover this but it's still pretty entertaining
Thanks a lot! I tried doing something people hadn’t done before so I’m glad it paid off!

The Germans lacked victories and pride post ww1. Unifying with Austria would be a major success and could greatly curb radicalism
This is very well conceived. I could see Wilson supporting Austrian integration into Germany, since he was typically more "lenient" to the Germans during the Versailles negotiations. He would probably support it on the condition of a referendum or something like that.
Cool scenario,
The Microphone is kinda inconsistent but overall really good.

Gracias por tus amables palabras. ¡Espero que tengas un buen día!
Vielen Dank für solches Video!
I'm in Love with this Video, please Continue this!
I love your video from italy❤🇮🇹
If I remember correctly Vorarlberg preferred to join Germany and tried joining Switzerland cause it was impossible to join Germany.
Great video I don`t think I`ve seen a full alt history like this.
Glad you enjoyed it, and the direction of a multi part series!
Nice video, only issue i have is towards the end you moved very close to the mic, sounded a bit weird - otherwise great video
Thanks for the feedback! It may be because I recorded that last part later on with a better setup. I fix my audio setup later on so I hope you stay tuned!
I think this timeline is seriously underestimating the popularity and importance of the German communist revolutionary movement in the 1920s
Thanks for the comment.
My next series is going to be a timeline which focuses on the German Communist movement. So Stay tuned!
Yeah i sometimes forget how many retarded germans there are even back then
Far left revolutions never succeed in developed industrialized nations

Germany should keep Danzig and Memel in the Treaty of Versailles
German-Austria also claimed South-Tyrol.
What do you use for the map???
I use photoshop for the assets with qbam as a base map (references in the description). After effects for the animations and premiere for the editing!

what tool do you use?
I replied to your other comment, cheers!
thx@@LoreDad
I know it's late but after my knowledge Switzerland strictly refused to Annex Vorarlberg because the Region was too poor and would weaken Swiss economy
So... Franco-Italian Axis, vs British-German Alliance? Heyo, I am onboard with this!
do you think a Austria would still gain Hungarian lands after the first world war in this timeline because I know they took a little piece of hungry
Yes I have the land Austria took from Hungary subtly changing over. Frankly, I forgot Hungary owned the burgenland. They try to reclaim it later on so I hope you stay tuned to see!
@@LoreDad another quick question what happens with the Saarland in this world?
Its withdrawn and nothing comes of it. I figured that it would have not changed in its outcome in this timeline. Thanks for the comment!@@randombread7535
I like this video
Id say its kind of weird for Austria to succeed just after joining Germany? But still, good video overall!

Germany would have a 3 party fight instead of CDU vs SPD
which are CDU vs SPD vs DNVP (the party supported by Prussian aristocrats)
Thank you for your comment. I think you’re absolutely right. I will attempt to give more insight into germanys political situation in the next episodes. Hope you have a good day!
@@LoreDad sure, tq
Don’t you mean the Zentrum ? The CDU was formed after WW2
@@karlfranzemperorofmandefil5547 oh yea, mb. I think i write this just kicking the Zentrum out of mind
Pls fix mic
Don’t worry, I fixed it by stresa 4 / 5. Hope you stay tuned
@@LoreDad Yes, the series is very good so far
explore if the swiss annex the landlocked liechtenstein please
I will probably do that in a post-discussion, but I had them annexing Lichtenstein off screen
I swear i read it as 1991
Italy was the guardian of Austria
Yes, which is why they take the ascension so hard and fund secessionist Austrians. I hope you stay tuned to see what happens next!
saarland should have remained a protectorate, too soon for the french to let it go
That’s good feedback. I figured it would have been conceded after French involvement in Rhenish separatism was proven
I know you wanted to remove hitler from the picture, but it would have made more sense to have him serve his original five year prison sentence in full

@@LoreDadi understand
You're welcome :)
prussia should become limited to east prussia
Thank you for your comment, I will respond to each now
I decided to not go with further german concessions for the sake of preserving democracy in Weimar Germany. Losing more land would have only caused more far right presence.
