6:17 well, Poland was also on the allies side, polish people cracked the enigma, literaly ww2 only happened because the allies guaranteed Poland's independence but did nothing when the soviets attacked and after the war they recived the same "reward" as axis countries (Hungary, bulgaria and romania) get as punishment (soviet occupation), so if anything this french map is very possible
2:58 Honestly, the most unrealistic part about this map is the straight line border. The only reason it ever existed was because of the US being separate from Canada.
That border gore one with all the countries becoming just… weird.. has one other problem. Ireland has united, but Strangford Lough has dried up. I like seeing a lough out my window 😢
Transylvania actually makes sense as a local name. "Sylvania" means "forest land" which makes sense as an early name. So Westsylvania means west (/of) forest land. And the "Trans" just means across. So "Across the forest lands".
6:23 so a similar situation almost happened in French Indochina (Vietnam in particular): after WW2, the Republic of China (KMT-led) poured a million troops into Tonkin (North of VN) under the justification of "disarming the Imperial Japanese Army", as the IJA had took Indochina from France prior to this moment so the newly form Việt Minh government had to negotiate with the French to repel the KMT troops out; who knows what China could do once they got hold of the land - it could very well become Chinese territory like how the North of France joined the Warsaw pact in this scenario
They're basically what-ifs though. The American Transylvania could have been what Kentucky is now. (A funny side effect is that KFC could have been TFC instead, since it refers to Kentucky).
Petition to make Drew put the flag of Wallis and Futuna, and the flag of River Gee county in Libera, the worst flags on the planet, in the background. Day 80
Petition for Drew to make a series covering Ace Combat and its multiple universes: [Day 319] The Airbus A319 is a member of the Airbus A320 family of short- to medium-range, narrow-body, commercial passenger twin-engine jet airliners manufactured by Airbus. The A319 carries 124 to 156 passengers and has a maximum range of 3,700 nmi (6,900 km; 4,300 mi). Final assembly of the aircraft takes place in Hamburg, Germany and Tianjin, China.
It looks more as though the French Cold War map could be from a timeline where France did that No-No Germany role instead. The Free French state could well be formed from anti-totalitarian dissidents who previously took control of the colonies during the rise of No-No France and later joined WW2.
Britain would still have colonised all of that because of British colonization being done through the general population getting grants for exploring and colonising
The alternate Austria seems to have kept the provinces it already had, which may be why. Bohemia and Lower Silesia also use coats of arms from those regions, while Sudetenland uses symbols from the Sudetendeutsche Landsmannschaft. I'm not sure about Upper Silesia though.
Transylvania almost became some kind of American territory. Colonial America featured lots of what were basically real estate corporations for settling west of the Appalachians, and the Transylvania Company was one of these, in what became Kentucky. Its neighbor on same map is Franklin, a failed effort to form a state in what became Tennessee.
2:57 I doubt France would even want the territory from Spain as they would know the British would just take it. Also in a world where the British Empire never lost the Thirteen Colonies, they would probably not colonise Australia, or at least not to the same level like they did in our timeline. However, they would absolutely take India. At the time, India was the crown jewel of the empire. Egypt, Singapore, Sri Lanka and more colonies were taken just to protect British trade interests in India. There is no way the British let France or some other power take India. This is not even mentioning the sheer amount of wealth the British had to gain from India.
Day one of asking drew to make a romanian plushie Man please I begging ya WORSE SOVIET COLLAPSE ITS SO GOOD PLEASE WHY CANT WE JUST MAKE IT NOW ITS GREAT
4:09 Oh, frick, we're doomed. 🇨🇭 7:09 Wonder, how Switzerland would politically and culturally evolve. 8:44 Maybe give Danzig (and a bit more than that) as well, so there won't be an exclave.
Napoleon: You need to conquer parts of europe by turning the French into deamons I conquered all of mainland europe while using reguler frenchmen we are not the same

yeah if anything the british would get the french colony and later probably get in a war with russia and mexico at some point getting more land
4:58 the map of africa being written in hungarian caught me off guard
Fun fact: in 1926 Poland actually discussed purchasing Madagascar from France, but they decided against it
That is so weird
That border gore one with all the countries becoming just… weird.. has one other problem. Ireland has united, but Strangford Lough has dried up. I like seeing a lough out my window 😢

Drew did not realize the translavania and westlavania are real counties next to each other in the usa
They're basically what-ifs though. The American Transylvania could have been what Kentucky is now. (A funny side effect is that KFC could have been TFC instead, since it refers to Kentucky).
Petition for drew to make a Malta countryball plushie (Day 13)
Yeah
Yes
signed
Sure
Yea
10:12 if US and Canada actually combine it would be the largest country on Earth not the exact same size as Russia though
3:40 difference is, the East India Company and South Africa Company still exist
9:14 they wouldn’t sell Alaska, because they originally sold it to not give it to the British.
The US is independent and won the war 1812 and controls Canada’s land. So Russia would still sell it to the US since it wasn’t Britain.
@@Anonymous999-US Why would they need to sell it? There is no threat of losing it to the British, because there is no border with the British.

How Drew starts a video is just crazy to me
hey drew, fun fact most of the coat of arms from the austro_prussian federation thing are the actual ones of the austrian provinces of today
The alternate Austria seems to have kept the provinces it already had, which may be why. Bohemia and Lower Silesia also use coats of arms from those regions, while Sudetenland uses symbols from the Sudetendeutsche Landsmannschaft. I'm not sure about Upper Silesia though.

Coming from Istrian heritage, I see zero downside for anyone in that scenario.

Colonial America featured lots of what were basically real estate corporations for settling west of the Appalachians, and the Transylvania Company was one of these, in what became Kentucky. Its neighbor on same map is Franklin, a failed effort to form a state in what became Tennessee.
And after pausing the video to make this comment, Drew then proceeds to say what I was thinking.
