What if the Ottoman Empire Collapsed in 1878?

- You won’t believe what would happen if the Ottoman Empire collapsed 40 years earlier than in our timeline. This would drastically change the outcome of the First World War, due to them no longer existing as a nation.
The Ottoman Empire once controlled a large chunk of the known world. They stretched from Austria up to Ethiopia, and from Morocco to Persia. They also were very well established in 3 continents, [Continents.png] these being Europe, Africa, and Asia.

I took notice that many of you did NOT like the new editing style, and this is fine! My job is to deliver videos that YOU will watch, as a result, I will make sure NOT to use AI videos and this overly-edited style. My next video will be out in 3 days, and it's like my usual stuff, hope to see you there!
I can't speak for everyone else, but personally, I loved the editing here
Well, typical dividing of lake Van between Armenia and Kurdistan , this is a bad quality of border actually, try avoid this and do the border on the mountains souther than the lake
i personally very disliked the implementation of ai media, it feels less genuine and very artificial in a bad way (idk thats just me buit rahhhhh)
i think the editing was fine, but the use of AI was really jarring and off-putting
Look good but maybe don’t use it as much (it was kinda distracting considering some images and videos didn’t look good)
Scenario Idea: What if the Pope accepted the Italian unification proposal in 1848, thus creating an Italian Empire under the Pope?
OMG yes
The proposal was to create federation, not empire.
The Holy Roman Empire if the name was true
Papal State of Italy
-Strong Bulgarian Accent
-Strong Bulgaria in alt hist
I wonder where this person is from 😂
Still, pretty nice scenario 👍
To be fair be does tons of big Greece stuff, so he's a based bulgarian
Only thing I can say is infinitely unrealistic is the British allowing anyone to contest their dominion over Egypt, especially when they didn't really lose on any of their fronts and the Russian alliance is nowhere near Egypt. Otherwise not terrible, but you were extreme in the war results in general
*the ottoman empire collapses*
serbia, greece, bulgaria, arabs & kurds: oh boy this is were the fun begins
Don't forget about the Armenians! But yeah, I totally agree, the balkans would just explode like never before
Scenario idea: What if the Mughal Empire defeated the Marathas, thus keeping India strong enough to resist European colonialism?
Still wouldn't be close to being strong enough to beat the British Empire.
Or to even put much of a fight to be honest.
They were strong, just not *this* strong.
It wasn't just marathas that hated the mughals. Afghanis, sikhs, bengal, nepal, and deccan sultan all hated the mughals.
Love how there is no bias at all for Bulgaria 😂
i feel like the new editing style could lead to something nice, but i think that especially the first parts of the video are edited way too much, though there are some good things like the highlighting of lost territories in a span of time.
i think it's a step in the right direction, but should be done less excsessively, and in a way so it doesn't overwhelm the people watching, just my opinion.
Yeah I agree with you! We made sure that the first part is the most engaging, but it maybe became over-edited and this turned people away. Need to experiment and figure out a better style
The amount of AI generated images and videos is crazy
I took notice and I will step back from it, while also making my videos not that overly-edited. Thank you for your feedback!
Comment for algorithm
Edit: Those AI animation are. . . 🤮
The long awaited video is out!
Trueee! It took me a while, but it's finally here!
bulgaria getting the special treatment
Unpopular Opinion: If the Ottoman Empire had won the Great War, it would still collapse some time later.
I don't think that this is an unpopular opinion, most people share this thought, together with Austria-Hungary also collapsing, even if they had won WW1
@@rewriting-history Austria-Hungary is more popullar.
._.@NAXALAKhalistanCommunist
I feel like I dropped acid watching this video.
My two cents on the AI videos - yes the eyes look very disturbing and straight out of Uncanny Valley but the battle depictions are much better. And the style of editing doesn't matter because his storytelling is on point
Been waiting for this vid! Glad it came
Edit: Great narration and editing!
I loved this video
I have an idea what if the first Bulgarian empire never fell
why do i feel like i get sensory overload from this editing style?
We tried something more edited to see how people like it and if we should do that more in the future
@@rewriting-history I would say that you gotta tone it a little down, but i see why you picked it for. No hate.
Bro...did you use AI to make those ottoman troops in bulgaria? Not that I complain it just looks very funny when you talk about something brutal like that and then it's just AI
This is like Bulgaria but if everyting went perfect for them .
Kind of, yeah, I don't see how they could get even more!
What if the ottomans modernised after their loss at vienna? I think it would be interesting
Great suggestion! I will save it and could make a video on it later
I already know this’ll be a fire video!!
Thank you very much, hope you liked it!
@@rewriting-historyYou rock man😊😊😊
I love how the last traty was just a reversed Treaty of Paris(at least for Romania)
Is it only or the editing became amazing ?
The AI videos were a little unnerving lol
Love your content man! Suggestion: What if the United states of greater austria succeeded?😊😊😊😊❤❤❤
What if Ottomans had adopted the cult of Makima, Revy, Cutie Honey, Marin Kitagawa, Trixie Tang, Judy Neutron, Marge Simpson, Wendy Corduroy, Lois Griffin, Sailor Moon and Maddie Fenton instead of Abrahamic shit?
Why did you change your editing style to this tiktok cringe like thing ?
Amazing work as always! Suggestion : Napoleon III doesnt take the bait and no franco-prussian war Hearth please❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good video , my friend!
Good video but awful division of Africa the borders make 0 sense he’s officially lost his mind or perhaps he just loves the curse that is Border gore
Thank you very much, glad you liked it!
@rewriting-history you're amazing
A captions option would really help your videos
Your video : What if Ottoman Empire collapsed earlier
Every Turk : 😡🤬😡😡🥵😡😡🤬🤬🤡
I didn't get any Turkish hate, I think, maybe the comments got held for review! :D
@@rewriting-history Ofc no hate i just joked about how partriotic turks are
why does ur editing style look like mrbeasts 💀💀💀
Tried something different, maybe it will work out good
Today: I ll give a share of Ottoman empire to whoever wants it!
@@rewriting-history just keep going, it looks good, but also kinda mrbeast stylisch but it will surely turn out good
Bro love the vids but the ai makes the video seem choppy
The AI videos are really cool, I like the addition to your videos!
Glad you like them! Since I lack stock footage, this is good to break the video up and make it more interesting, so it's not just maps
@@rewriting-history it's a shame other people don't like the editing style. It seems like with some refinement it could be really good.
This sure would change things a lot especially since the technology was changing right around that time
I think Germany and Austria- Hungary would have been neutral. After all Austria and Prussia were neutral during the crimean war. Also Bismarck declared Germany as saturated and wanted to keep a balance of power (in germanys favour). I think he would be the person who would have negotiated with both factions.
wow your editing has gotten much better , congrats dude!
Thank you very much, I got a lot of outside help on this one!
0:17 from here I can notice it @rewriting-history
What if the Neapolitan Republic of 1648 survived?
i think that madagascar would be too hard to protect for the russians because of the distance from russian mainland ports (thats just my opinion but nice video i really liked the scenario)
I have an idea : What if Europe at that time was Anti-Ottoman , but Pro-Russian ?
What if Austria Hungary joins with Russia but Germany joined the western allies?
Lovely, though the new editing style is a little odd.
great video, but let me give you an idea "what if Levsky wasn't caught and he managet to free Bulgaria by himself and other revolutionaries
Finally someone who actually knows about the almost Russian Madagascar being a thing
I have heard it many times, I think it's a famous concept
What’s up with the editing ? There’s something off about it. Also, why are there random parts of the video where every single sentence is written out in big letters across the screens and why is everything flickering ?
Tried a different style, it clearly didn't work out, so I will not do it anymore.
I think the video is a little overedited, but the ai stuff is great!
Some people like it, some don't. I think I will stick to my older editing style, as not as much people complained about this
Interesting scenario, I am sure you liked this as a Bulgarian
Part 2!
The second war would be possible if the first war was possible, but the British and French wouldnt risk colapsing ottoman empire this fast because of the balance of Powers, exactly why they didnt do it in real life, good video!
old style of videos were way better but i like the experimentation, but it feels like those historical videos you see on yt shorts that also use ai…
I feel like we should a scenario where there is someting similar to american revolution in india malaysia and other British colonies
W video!
Glad you liked it!
:D@@rewriting-history
Ok I have realy boring sinario : What if Republic of Crakuw was't anext by Austria?
I have actually thought of an interesting Topic, what if Hungary Declared full independence when WW1 started?
You should do what if the first Saudi State was victorious against the Ottomans and never collapsed as they did IRL. IRL they did very well conquering Mecca, Medina, lands in Iraq, Syria, Oman, Yemen and as far as Persia but lost after an invasion by a massive egyptian army under the general Muhammad Ali who would himself try to rebel against the Ottomans.
The A.I stuff is shit
Depends how you look at it, some were really cool and break the video a bit, so it's not just maps all the way
Instead maybe try using historical photos to breaak it up@@rewriting-history
That spiraled out of control real quick, tho honestly I don't think Greece of Serbia would declare war on Bulgaria if they took parts of Albania (which they did in our timeline) since Serbia didn't really care about Vardar, they just wantwd a seaport and the Greeks were already stretched thin on two continents with a massive Ottoman border that needed to be patrolled. I'm also guessing that in this timeline the allies would be ok with that.
Kind of weird how Britain got all the west African desert, but still didn’t get Nigeria. Doesn’t make sense in my opinion
The AI stuff freaks me out.
This is the stuff I dream about.
Your Bulgarian was really showing this video
Unfortunately yes, it was an older video script that doesn't match my current style. I will not commit such mistakes in the future
@@rewriting-history lol it's alright as a balkaner myself I can understand occasional bout of patriotism. On another note wow I didn't actually expect you to respond so quickly to a comment on a several day old video it's cool how interact with your community keep that up.
I feel like the amount of expansion especially italy made into anatolia is very unrealistic
I feel like editing is really distracting, the subtitles, shakes, sound effects distract me from the scenario.
Really not a fan of the use of AI and I gotta say the overall scenario near the end is…very Bulgaria biased. I can't see Germany and Austria-Hungary joining the Russians, they'd be more likely to remain neutral and let their two enemies fight it out in a second Crimean War style conflict which Russia and her allies lose causing a need for more reform in Russia just like after the first Crimean War.
I agree with you, this scenario is 4 months old, which is before I actually got good at making videos. I should have thrown it at the bin, or refined it heavily. Now my content is actually decent and I don't commit such stupid mistakes. Thank you for the visit!
I loved the video. wich program did you used for the ai content?
Bro had Italy on austrias side against france
One immediate thing is that Britain would not colonize half the Sahara like that, especially after just losing a major war
Lore of What if the Ottoman Empire Collapsed in 1878 momentum 100
Why standing with the Entente would make France stronger is unclear to me. It seems that they may not gain anything significant from the war, and, considering that one of the main German rivals at that point was Russia, aligning with the Entente might inadvertently help the Germans achieve two objectives with one move, potentially allowing them to gain land and weaken a key adversary.
OMG IS SO GOOD ❤🎉😊
Appreciate it very much!
Benjamin Disraeli...
It's always them. 109 countries and counting
Overall, an interesting scenario, although my head canon for the alternate Balkan War does go differently.
Because Serbia, Romania, Montenegro, and to a slightly lesser extent Greece were all also allies or friendly to Russia, the priority of the Russians would be to prevent the countries in their sphere of influence to fight each other for too much of a prolonged period, hence for the sake of the Balance of Power Russia would take a backseat, but send some armaments to their preferred ally of Bulgaria.
For Italy, the gaining Tunisia, though important for the Roman larp, would not really be a ride or die sort of demand and could be satisfied by the French and British by allowing the Italians to form a protectorate over Albania, with the gain of Durrës as a treaty port if they intervene on the side of the Greeks, Romanians, Serbs, and Montenegrins.
Result, Bulgaria loses as a result of the immense pressure, losing:
Dobrudja to Romania
Parts of the Macedonia region to Serbia
Now onto Greece. Greece would carry more diplomatic weight in negotiations because of the second front in eastern Thrace that they would open by performing an invasion from the Asia Minor territories. This would cause Bulgaria to divert troops from other fronts with the Greeks, Romanians, and Serbians, then resulting in a collapse within the Bulgarian army as a result of the maintained pressure. Hence, Greek weight in negotiations would be greater and used to gain Constantinople as well as Thessaloniki and Gallipoli, with other territories such as the other northern Aegean islands of the Bulgarians being given to Greece, as well as parts of Macedonia up to Serres. Although, crucially for now, Bulgaria would retain some access to the Aegean
I prefferred your videos wothout, the ai generated video clips inbetween
OMG IS SO GOOD❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
4:20 i have a feelin bulgaria is still salty about the april massacre.
Wouldn't the USA intervene if the German Empire and Austria Hungary joined?
There was no Albanians in Kosovo in 1878…
I used this map, I can clearly see a lot in Kosovo

Yo i like the ai clips
Отлично 👌
U should do what if the partition of India did not happen
Am I the only one who liked the AI editing lol
What if Phoenicia industrialized??
Tbh it doesn't seem realistic for Albania gaining Kosovo, as having small claims over it, as of being majorly Serb by that time.
I love this just because Kurdistan is independent!
Glad you liked this one!
I love Ferrets
edit style is not great bud i would consider making a second account where u play hoi4 custom scenario
the ottomen empire would have attacked Bulgaria and Russia would have supported Greece and Serbia as it did in the balkan wars more over Italy would attack AustriaHungrary to win back its promissed land
are you bulgarian ??
Yes, I'm from Bulgaria
@@rewriting-historycooool
Epic Bulgaria
10:48 Why do Germany and Austria have to join. This seems like some perfect timing for them to chill out and not fight for a bit, considering niether have a lot of reasons to fight. Germany has united all of its people, and yeah the French do have a grudge on them, it isn't worth going in a war unprovicated. Their expansion wouldn't add any Germans to Germany. Austria would suffer from any more expansion, as they are already too ethnicly diverse. And at the end of the day, why would Germany and Austria go in a war to help Bulgaria. I don't see them wasting man to fight for the sake of Bulgaria. Yes they are in an allience with Russia at the moment, but I still don't see them doing it.
W scenario
Appreciate it, glad you liked it!
I cant watch this tf is up with the blinking,the video is way over edited
👍
Russia by the 1950 if nothing bad happens most likely would GDP and Population a Few times bigger than in our Timeline USSR had and be a Champion of the world for a century or half
admit it broski this video was only made to make bulgaria great again 🔥
A much better world
Least Nationalist Bulgarian.
What if all Slavic people were Russian and we're all orthodox
I disagree with your opinion, with Germany joining the Russians because of the Russians being much more powerful in this scenario as well as that germany just steam rolling france a few years ago. They would benefit more from taking over Russian land as it would make them more self sufficient and give them an empire like the french and British as well as having a trade block for recorces.Also they had otto von bismark still as chancellor meaning they would most likely stay neutral as otto didn't want German colonies until practically every great power had one.Which led up to the wvents of the scramble for africa.But since the scramble for Africa hadn't happened yet they wouldnt be able to gain necessarily any important land and the only great power they could over take during this war would be russia from taking their land as britain navy would allow them to keep the raj and their empire.But Germany could gain resources near the area of alsace Lorraine but their would be more recources in the bread basket of Europe Ukraine and trading right over Russia.
Uh sorry I realised that it just a what if
