What if only Warsaw Pact Countries won Eurovision? (1993-2024)

- The results if the only countries eligible to win were from the former Warsaw Pact [excluding USSR]. Kvalifikacija za Millstreet included.
Included countries in alphabetical order: Albania, Bulgaria, Czechia/Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia.
For those wondering, no, I haven't included the ex-USSR states. They are so numerous that, even when taking into account just the participating Eurovision countries, they'd rather have their own video, and the difference between a standalone vid and them being included here wouldn't be much. It would have also caused me more problems than I already had while editing...

can you one for the Benelux as well?
You forgot about Soviet Union! Where are Ukraine, Russia, Estonia, Moldova, Latvia, Armenia and the others?
I wrote a reply earlier to someone who asked about the ex-USSR countries
The USSR was comprised of more states than the rest of the Warsaw Pact put together, including Albania and the part of Czechoslovakia that is Slovakia, and if I were to include the ex-USSR participating countries, I'd have a video *too* inclusive, with only 6 winners still being from what's otherwise the WP, whereas the rest would just be the ex-USSR states, at which point they may as well get their own video
@@PenguinESC OK. You only should emphasize that there is Warsaw pact in the video without ex USSR. 🙂
@@andrijadjordjevic9584 there's a separate video for the ex-USSR countries who competed in ESC th-cam.com/video/g8Z0kOugiuA/w-d-xo.html
Albania was not a member of WP
It was, but Albania is the only country that withdrew from the Pact during its existence
At last my country (Poland) doing well in something Eurovision related, especially when they’re only one competing
Poland definitely had the advantage in the 1990s, from the 2nd place debut to just...being above the relegation line, I guess.
Other countries, especially Romania, were more successful since 2000 but didn't beat Poland in terms of high placements
I'm a little confused why you decided to have Czechia and Slovakia competing but not the ex-USSR countries.
It's gonna be a bit of a read...
The USSR by itself had more republics integrated into itself than the entire rest of the Warsaw Pact, and that is still true if you include just the countries that have participated at Eurovision at least once, to the point where they'd rather have a separate video.
It'd be too inclusive to also have Moldova, Ukraine, Russia, the Baltics, the Caucasus and Belarus, and dare I say a tad bit...boring, especially since the winners would still be from the USSR in the majority of enlisted years (barring 6, which would be 1993, 1994, 2005, 2010, 2017 and 2018)
By that logic, I shouldn't have included Slovakia, but there's not a major difference between having 6 countries and 7, especially when both Czechia and Slovakia were still part of the same country, being *equal bodies*, not to mention that they were actually still eligible to participate together from 1990 to 1992, and there would be no difference from what the video actually ended up being, barring 1993, whereas it'd be night and day between having 7 and *17*, and those 10, while being part of a single nation, had nowhere near the level of equality, and the states split as early as the Spring of 1990...
So with that, I can draw my conclusion that the countries included in this video make sense, no more, no less
I would love to see Albania as a winner for 4 times, even more, especially in 2019
