Funfact: Despite having an even more spread out and isolated society than the rest Europe, Norway lost 70-75% of its population. To this day "Abandoned farm" is a very common last name in Norway. (Ødegård)
I would guess the northern parts survived best. I think it would be harder for the plauge to spread in colder climates. But maybe the people there was so dependent on trade so they could not avoid it.
@@r.chamaemorus8025 Yeah, Trondheim and especially Bergen were crucial trading centers in Northern Europe. Bergen still ended up as one of the largest cities in Scandinavia throughout the 15th and 16th centuries.
Norway was actually experiencing a golden age before the Plague. Trade increased, Population tripled, and peace, but then the Black Death hit like a truck.
the plot of the film does not coincide with the comic canon. In comic book, Thanos want to murder the entire universe, because he loved death, and he intented to impress her.
I had a hard time watching that. Like....you KNOW its monsterous what Thanos did....but at the same time.....less people....soooooooooooooooooo....and I mean....its not discriminatory....so equal oppertunity death for all. No single group is spared......honestly....its fair.....problem is that Thanos never seemed to realize culling humanity and all other races of being would be a stop gap measure.

Actually, many civilizations would start seeing themselves overpopulate by that point, natural instincts not being compatible with advanced progress. If he had instead created more resources, aka. reward a bad behavior. People would continue, maybe more so, because they'll be rewarded again. But he killed half of everyone. He punished a bad behavior, overly harsh, but still, an example. And he didn't spare any one group, everyone was punished, everyone learns their lesson. People don't want this to happen again, so they'll keep their numbers manageable. If they don't learn their lesson, then they'll repopulate and exterminate themselves. Natural selection. But he gave the intelligent a chance to learn. It is cruel, but it works. Better solutions may exist. But it is a solution.
@themesongfan No, they'd keep their population manageable because they just got punished from up high. They can't justify it being targeted at them if everyone suffers equally, friend or foe, rich or poor. And they'd do it for the sake of their kin. Because as a general rule, people want their children to prosper. And if they choose to squander this opportunity, they'll die. They were given a chance, but refused to take it. That just means they'd keep consuming no matter what. The problem is over-consumption. You don't solve over-consumption by encouraging consumption. If they're punished, they'll try to find out why they got punished, so they can avoid it. If they continue their behavior, then they're unfit for survival, and nature will run it's course. And if they're so disproportionately powerful that they can wage war and gain (civilizations set up webs of alliances because they work), then they'd do it anyway, snap or not.

Yeah, what he is saying is crap imho. I mean, many historians agree that the black death was what delayed the Renaissance in Italy (Renaissance began in Italy before the rest of Europe and actually before the black death: the first cities were devastated, leaving only Florence to spread it a long time later). I think it's kind of ridiculous to think the exact opposite would happen, but well.

On the Mongols launching their plague dead into the enemy city: I just want to imagine the launchee NOT being dead first. The fleas will leave a dead body, after all, but not one five days into a seven day inevitable death. So, Mongol warrior struck down by horrid disease blisters, go out with a bang! Use the last of your strength to climb into the catapult arm, and let loose a battle cry as you fly over the rampart, on your way to becoming a flea-shrapnel grenade.
The Japanese in WW2 had the same idea. They had developed a flea-bomb in China / Korea that spread the plague. Had the US gone further and farther into the home islands - it is likely they would have used the bomb. Fortunately, the US had its own bomb... and the flea bomb "disappeared" into the US military arsenal.

It’s not some catastrophic plague like super virus every smartass ever seems to think you can look that not even 1 million people have died and more than half of the people who got it have recovered and the cdc says that 94% of their Covid-19 diagnosis’s could be caused by underlying heath conditions look at the facts before you post
Dude ,imagine walking down a trash ridden sstreet,full of guts from the butc her shop,horse shit ,rotting food,and people throwing their "chamber pots out the window ,right down on your head!? Nice day!!!!!
Axis would have won without question. Britain survived on the supplies that came from the Lend-Lease Act. The Soviet Union caught a break from the Lend-Lease act as well, they used American Shermans and half tracks while they allocated their factories and workforce to produce an unstoppable war machine.
Well, America (LOVING FREEDOM) I don't think they would defend a dictatorship or betray some of there alies. BUT if they did help the axis powers, well we would probably be in WW 3 or 4.
The "Black Death" was more than just bubonic plague.. It was a mixture of pneumonic plague (which is transmitted from person to person via microscopic saliva droplets expelled during coughing) and septamatic plague as well as bubonic plague.. In fact pneumonic plague would've been the most prominent variation in cities like London and Paris.
@@captainayaaya28 And come on, how many people are dying? A fraction of a percent? Now, what is that compared to the roughly 50% of the Justinian one, and 1/3 of the Black Death? Nothing, they wouldn't even notice this "pandemic" in the Middle Ages.
This pandemic doesn't compare to the black death, it's true. But the circumstances that enabled Covid-19 to rise will enable the same for deadlier pathogens... Even a Spanish Flu-scale pandemic would be very traumatic.

+Generic Weeaboo It scares you because they scared the peasants too. Our fear of crow like men and distrust in doctors can be traced back to the back plague. This infection influenced European culture at levels that a Europe without the plague is unimaginable at times.
Actually, they did not have such terrible sanitation back in those days. They never took baths that often, but they did wash up with a basin of water and a cloth every day, and even had methods of cleaning their teeth. The reason we now think they were all gross and unkept is because movies and books always like to show the peasants as being dirty to enforce how poor they are.
+Robert Gronewold You're half right, well more like 90% right... I completely agree with all of your statements however the reason their sanitation was horrible wasn't mainly about their human sanitation, but with their animal sanitation (Go go cow poop all over the place). A filthy human can get sick and die, but only a mutated cow-poop (or any kind of animal poop) virus could spark a pandemic.
+Kobi Libero That is very true. They were quite good at cleaning up manure and carting it around, but that still left them with a lot of contact with it.
Zackoshi I'm aware this is a joke, but the 'Plauge' It speaks of is in fact not the Bubonic plague OR the black death, the original writer of the SCP has not yet confirmed what the 'plauge' is.

If trotsky came to power instead of stalin he would've supported international communism more. Countries like spain would've likely become communist instead of facist. In Germany the communist party competed closely with the national socialists. If trotsky was in power she would've bank supported a communist take over of germany potentially altering the entire history of world war 2. That said though the USSR ecnomically would likely be worse of as trotsky would sacrafice russain progress in exchange for the spread of communism. Militiarily it is debatable because Stalin and his supporters were better generals but troksy is unlikely to have ever purged the officer cores of the USSR meaning if a war did come around the USSR would've been better prepared. Overal however i think the USSR would've been better off under trotsky. The Germans argueably wouldn't have pushed into Russia as much if hitler still came to power because there would'v been competent soviet officers to counter an invasion because trosky wouldn't have purged the officer core.
The thing is, no trade between the Mongols and Europe would mean at least 75 million wouldn't have died, but gunpowder wouldn't have been traded, meaning no guns or delayed guns. Maybe less deaths.
Omid Tajik Most interesting hypothesis, care to elaborate? I personally assume that we would have video games already, maybe not as advanced yet, but still have them
There can be entire episodes based on theories like "what if this one person was never born." History could take an entirely unrecognizable rout if one person did not exist. Now image the millions that were killed as a result of the black death that could have been potential philosophers, scientists, artists, authoritarians, military masterminds, progressive royal family members, fascist royal family members, et cetera. Now imaging all the kids that could have been that may have grown up to be those things. The possible different timelines approaches infinity. We are literally one of an unending amount of timelines, and it just so happens your life is what came to be. The likely hood of that is essentially zero.
That's why I constantly wish that when I died, I became omniscient and omnipotent, and view all parallel universes for our universe. It'd be so interesting!
+iShadowKing That would be a cool episode. The most impactufull thing would be warfare. We would be still using swords and melee weapons, heavy armor, horses on battle. One thing i belive it would also happend, on this case wouldnt happend, would be the industrial revolution, or the very least, it would heavly delayded. Sorry for my english.

What if the Germans Refused to honor the alliance with Japan after Pearl Harbor? So rather than join WWII the US fights Japan alone and lets the European Conflict sort itself out.

+Guy On A Computer The US wanted to stop the Nazis already we wouldve fabricated some BS and went to war
+Robert Allen Incorrect. The president wanted to fight the Nazis, Congress wanted to stay neutral. FDR was desperately reaching for anything that he could do to help the allies.
but remember, the enemy of my enemy is my friend
+Robert Allen Actually before PH the US was gonna stay out of it... other than the arms dealing... huh sounds familair...

Those fucking plague doctors. They freak the hell out of me. I have nightmares about them all the time.
They look kinda scary, but not enough to give me nightmares
Wat
+Generic Weeaboo The worst part is that they weren't actual doctors. They were just people that wanted to prove they could be doctors -_-
Ring around the Rosie...ring around the Rosie...☠ (yes that song is about the plague doctors, they had roses in their masks to help keep the smell of the dead away from them as they worked)
+Generic Weeaboo It scares you because they scared the peasants too. Our fear of crow like men and distrust in doctors can be traced back to the back plague. This infection influenced European culture at levels that a Europe without the plague is unimaginable at times.
Actually, they did not have such terrible sanitation back in those days. They never took baths that often, but they did wash up with a basin of water and a cloth every day, and even had methods of cleaning their teeth. The reason we now think they were all gross and unkept is because movies and books always like to show the peasants as being dirty to enforce how poor they are.
Dirty pleb
+Robert Gronewold You're half right, well more like 90% right...
I completely agree with all of your statements however the reason their sanitation
was horrible wasn't mainly about their human sanitation, but with their animal
sanitation (Go go cow poop all over the place).
A filthy human can get sick and die, but only a mutated cow-poop (or any kind
of animal poop) virus could spark a pandemic.
+Kobi Libero That is very true. They were quite good at cleaning up manure and carting it around, but that still left them with a lot of contact with it.
+Robert Gronewold And they hardly had great sewage systems.
Didnt they just shit in buckets and toss it out the window?

"Where we have gone a century without a horrific plague"
That didn't age well
This series has really changed my world view. I now realize that war and conflict Is necessary for growth to occur in the world. Thank you alternate history.
5:01 HAHAHA Wow.
Everything happens for a reason I guess...
+Court Ellis That's definitely not the message of this video
+Court Ellis No. Incentives are necessary for growth and development to occur in the world. War and conflict are extreme incentives*. Doesn't mean they're the only incentives.
I agree with war comes growth and a decline in population
“Where the western world has gone almost a century without a catastrophic, deadly plague.”
Who’s watching this in 2020? Oh the irony…
Rip. The streak was long.
well covid is much less deadly and more managable
the people in these animations are so cute ;w;
Too bad half of the people are probably dead bodies.
lol they are
Or soon to be.
what whould have happened if instead of black death never happening it happens at twice the force
Boncy's funtube then 2/3 of the population would die
About 2/3 or all the population would die. Most likely, we'd all be saying "bye bye, Europe."
There’s a video on that now go check it out
When i looked at the comments on this comment i was expecting idiotts like “hey dumbass there is one” i must say im actually proud of yall in this one lol

Goddam it Potential History you jinxed us
What if the Mongols never went on their conquest.
What if Stalin Never came to power.
What if Lenin didn't come to power and USSR never existed? That'd also mean no communism.
+Damian Strupiechowski he already did that
What if world war 1 never happened
+Damian Strupiechowski i'd rather take lenin still leading ussr still sucks but way better
If trotsky came to power instead of stalin he would've supported international communism more. Countries like spain would've likely become communist instead of facist. In Germany the communist party competed closely with the national socialists. If trotsky was in power she would've bank supported a communist take over of germany potentially altering the entire history of world war 2. That said though the USSR ecnomically would likely be worse of as trotsky would sacrafice russain progress in exchange for the spread of communism. Militiarily it is debatable because Stalin and his supporters were better generals but troksy is unlikely to have ever purged the officer cores of the USSR meaning if a war did come around the USSR would've been better prepared. Overal however i think the USSR would've been better off under trotsky. The Germans argueably wouldn't have pushed into Russia as much if hitler still came to power because there would'v been competent soviet officers to counter an invasion because trosky wouldn't have purged the officer core.
0:05 that aged well didnt it 💀
oh lord... 0:05...this man spoke waaaaay too soon
The thing is, no trade between the Mongols and Europe would mean at least 75 million wouldn't have died, but gunpowder wouldn't have been traded, meaning no guns or delayed guns. Maybe less deaths.
By now Europe would be third world
3:23 ahhh so this is what's gonna happen in Meereen in the Winds of Winter.
Well if it never happened reaper from overwatch wouldnt have that plague doctor skin
Neither would medic from tf2
We wouldn't probably even have games yet.

Coronavirus: Hold my beer
Not a horrific plague.
Fun fact: we are not completely certain that the "Black Death" was in fact the Bubonic Plauge
The Justinian Plauge was still the bubonic plague, infact it was the first recorded instance of the bubonic plague in world history.
There can be entire episodes based on theories like "what if this one person was never born." History could take an entirely unrecognizable rout if one person did not exist. Now image the millions that were killed as a result of the black death that could have been potential philosophers, scientists, artists, authoritarians, military masterminds, progressive royal family members, fascist royal family members, et cetera. Now imaging all the kids that could have been that may have grown up to be those things. The possible different timelines approaches infinity. We are literally one of an unending amount of timelines, and it just so happens your life is what came to be. The likely hood of that is essentially zero.
That's why I constantly wish that when I died, I became omniscient and omnipotent, and view all parallel universes for our universe. It'd be so interesting!

+iShadowKing That would be a cool episode. The most impactufull thing would be warfare. We would be still using swords and melee weapons, heavy armor, horses on battle.

Soon we will see a "What if the coronavirus outbreak never happened"
I know. If corona never happened, I wouldn’t of had a texting debate with my cousin on it. 2020 would be better because the world doesn’t shut down. Toilet paper companies wouldn’t be getting a raise, less memes, , people would still be sane since quarantine doesn’t happen, the XFL 2.0 doesn’t go bankrupt, CHAZ/CHOP probably won’t exist, and rumors of a second American Civil War probably won’t exist.
