Probably because they want to burn Baghdad again.

They probably have that somewhere in Mini Russia (Goa)

Napoleon is just that guy huh

Russia fully embraced Western ideals, it's unfortunate that Britain eas hostile to Russia during the Great Game, eaged the Crimean war against them, refused to partition the Ottoman Empire in the 1800s, then finally German Empire sent Lenin bsck to Russia to finish the job.

pfffft.... you wouldn't say that if you were stuck listening to my drunken ramblings.

By that time, Brandenburg region (Berlin and its surroundings) is already prosperous and strong. IMO even if Prussian/Brandenburg state lost East Prussia and Silesia, sooner or later the rump state that control Brandenburg (i.e. Prussia or its successor state) will rise again as the dominant power in north Germany.

@@ihl0700677525 either way they would've got crushed by the Russians and Western Allies

What are you refering to ? Was it during the Russian Civil war of 1917-1921 ? Never heard of an anglo-soviet open conflict past this date.

Which war

I remember reading in Russian literature about Indian deserters in the service of the Red Army in those years. Such units were called international units.

They want land that isn't freezing. Which is why they don't want Alaska back.

@@Riftrender im 99% sure that Russia completely regrets selling Alaska. Strategically it would be a perfect are for military bases and it has a lot of oil and gold

@@svenxavierniles9211 Well we know that now. At the time, colonies were for resources. Russia never lacked anything except for newer technologies that used tropical resources like rubber. They had all they needed and Alaska was mostly a base to expand to the pacific. But once the US and Britain expanded west, it was really useless. Oil wasn't a thing for industrialization at the time and in any case, they had Baku. They would have either had to really expand Alaska, spending more than it was worth to build it up or sell it.

@@svenxavierniles9211 France was probably also regretting selling the vast Louisiana Territory for 342M, now worth 8.5B

@@eyb0ss313 france had no effective control over the territory anyways.

His son Charles died in the same way, talk about bad luck as Charles' mother took him away from Denmark after Canute / Cnut's death only for him to suffer the same fate in Flanders decades later.

Disagree. If it wasn't possible, the existence of such a plan shows the British clear intent. People don't plan for things they have no intention of doing and are impossible. Nobody has plans to invade the moon for example. The British finding this out , have every reason to act first and are risking a great deal to do nothing.

@@walsh9080 it was only really possible if the Russians were as strong as they thought they were and their enemies in between Russia and India (the afghans and persians) were as weak as they thought they were. Neither of these were true.

@@mappingshaman5280 But isn't that under the assumption the British knew that? To call it paranoia I mean. If it seems possible isn't that just acting first? I'm not saying the British government was right per se, only that they didn't cause it because they had good reason to act. Plus, I can see why "Do nothing" is very hard advice to accept, even if it might have been the best course of action.

@@mappingshaman5280 Plus isn't paranoia by definition baseless? Finding evidence that they've at least thought about it, probably stops something from being called paranoid?

Yeah if UK was afraid, then why Russia sold Alaska?

It didn't fail it was canncled...

Too far to the north to be the Northern Caucasus, but also too far to the west to be Central Asia... just call it the lower Volga. Unless he used the term to mean the Western Mongolian (Oirat) tribes in general, which I believe some Russians and Europeans used to do back in the day. Ethnic nomenclature in the Mongol-Turco-Persian slice of Eurasia can often be confusing. Cossack/Kazakh is just the most well-known of these mix-ups.

did you mean Kumyk? They are a different people and they are of Turkic origin.

Also Indian Soviet Socialist Republic

How exactly they will defend Sydney or the whole Australia from British counter offensive though? The British possess immense economic and militray power in India and the French were pretty much isolated in that region.

@Nathan Taffijn Lol. Don't be silly. Britain kick France's ass in the 7 years war (it was Prussia & Britain vs. France, Austria, and Russia in Europe and Britain vs. France in the Americas and India). Even when Prussia, Britain's main ally in that war, was beaten, Britain still untouchable. France need American rebels, Spain, and the Netherlands to beat Britain. Even then British isle and the rest of British colony was still pretty much intact/untouchable and British economy stay afloat when France (the winner) bankrupt itself. A situation which directly led to the French revolution.

@Nathan Taffijn France always had a better land army than Britain before and after Napoleon. Even the « weaklings » WW1 that ends up as the best army in the world in 1918 was better than Britain. But as long as you can’t surpass the british navy, I don’t see how you can invade the island. A problem that face the Nazis later on.

Weird.

The invasion supposed to be against Britain not India. So even then they would be friends.

awww friends how cute

Well, countries aren't immortal single human beings, are they? This happened long ago with one person

Actually soviet union was indias friend. Russia is just going along. Otherwise the Russian Empire was not really an ally to india. And just like the video said the invading army would've carried out plunder of Indian cities as well just like any other invaders. There could've been a huge chance if that happened then people of India would've been speaking russian.

Again? Proofs?

@@Zapper-kq1zg If you’re on the Internet.

@@heijimikata7181 let him explain to me himself, anyone can use the Internet

​@@heijimikata7181don't believe everything Internet says kid

At least some discussion between Napoleon and Tsar Alexander about those plans, happened at their diplomatic approach during and right after the Treaty of Tilsit where Napoleon tried to bring Russia to his Anti British embargo. The invasion against Russian happent in order to enforce Russia to participate in this embargo.

@@Peristerygr Exactly, it makes a wider sense

yes

Yeah but we are now also flirting with france and isreal

I refuse to recognise the island for political reasons.... or im just bad at making maps in this new way.

Kiev litteraly fell to Mongols

Not really. Also, especially for this video, the Mughuls still held the top prestige in the region in the 1700s, though this influence was dying

What's ur problem with Tajmahal.

well taj mahal was the last architecture holded by one of the most powerful and last empire of indian subcontinent , so yeah it basically represents .

@@opai1821 nope wrong

Lol Muslim also watch Prashant Dhawan? You hate Prashant?

Modern Russia already have warm-water ports, and the russian empire had more in the baltics and black sea

@@yangyigao8158 The Baltics aren't really warm water ports and the Russians are trapped in the Black Sea as the Bosphorus and Dardanelles can be easily blockaded.

Technically until 1814 Marathi empire was independent so yeah

Well Khiva did became part of Russian Empire ( during 1873) 1831 was internal revolt ( Because Poland was part of Russian Empire)

@@Theworldsucks-kg5jv It may look like that now, but it was not like that at the time. Kingdom of Poland, as declared at Congress of Versailles, had it's own parliament, army, constitution and Monarch. That monarch was to be Tzar of Russia. Hence when parliament officially dethroned Tzar and declared war and there were regular large scale battles - I allowed myself to call it a war. There is a trend in some polish circles to consider entire 1830-31 situation as a British provocation to delay Russian expansion towards India (as you said they incorporated Khiva 40 years later). Interesting concept if nothing else. I personally think it is better for Indians that Russia never really took hold of any India.

@@andrzejadamowicz3753 Just as for Polish Russians are occupiers, for Indians British are also occupiers, if not worse than that I have heard that Tsar Alexander III, Had quite developed Warsaw city Warsaw was one of the Russian Empire 's best city But which was British Empire' s best city? Britain's capital London ( difference - some different city is better than capital city in case of Russian Empire) The British looted it's colonies Atleast Russians weren't looters ( yes when it comes to crush revolt they might be cruel but atleast Tsarist Russia was not a looter like British Empire) Sorry if you got offended but this is what I observed If I remember,Congress Poland didn't had that much famine ( despite famines being common in Imperial Russia) But famine was a common occurrence in British India and British African colonies But there had been no famines in British Canada or Australia

@@Theworldsucks-kg5jv Thank you for your honesty. I never intended any malice towards you. Also I am in no way offended. For me, history is to learn from, and "what ifs" are nice mental exercises. How different world would be if so called Great Game would see much more Russian gains, no one can really say. One is certain I never wish for India a fate of Kazakhstan. Place is crippled and peoples broken due to first Russian and finaly Soviet experiments (mostly Soviets). If I recall correctly Yurii Bezmenov defected to the west because he fell in love in India and couldn't stand seeing what commies were doing there.

The idea was the same, indirect fightings and supporting locals during civil wars. There were no ideological rivalery though, at least not as clearly as in the Cold War. Beside, the opposition was really local, while the Cold War was global.

Dude wtf

💀😭 Bro what

No Russia wants warm ports.

Moscow, as agglomeration, is 20 million people city.. And it's too cold in winter for cows here :)

I thought Russia warred with Turkey, not only city of Moscow

@@Admin-gm3lc Muscovy is the original name of "russia" was in use until 19-20c. Ottomans used it in 1914. the Muscovy neighbors are still use it daily

@@eugenlitwin5887 "Original" name of Russia was the Rus. Later divided Russian principalities were conquered by the Grand principality of Moscow. "Moscovy" is a polish name of Russia just like Venaja is a finnish name of Russia. Later some Polish nationalists tried to install it worldwide, but they failed. Nobody uses "Muscovy" in modern day lol. Like some europeans used to call Siberia "Tartaria" but now nobody does that.

@@Admin-gm3lc Rus´ was name of ancient Ukrainian state which collapsed in 11c . Juchi ulus (Muscovy in northern part of it) was a despotic - mongol state (created in 13c. from 16c M. is de fact independent ) , Much like Muscovy today . try to read T Snyder before post nonsense here

@@eugenlitwin5887 Rus was the name of ancient Russian state created by Rurik in city of Novgorod, Russia. Ukraine was created by bolsheviks in 1917. The Kievan principality was part of Jochi along with Moscow principality, later absorbed in despotic pagan Lithuania lol. Try to read wikipedia first and history books to not shame yourself. There arent any "Muscovy" today. Modern russians and medieval citizens of Moscow principality are genetic successors of rus people, proven by DNA(Russian DNA 46% slavic, 21% finno-ugric, Ukrainian 43% slavic, 36% semitic(turkic)) and they look european, not mongol lol.

The west is more barbaric. Since they destabilise countries and kill innocent civilians. Which is their tradition

Lol Russia always was deeply connected with Europe. Why do you hate city of Moscow though? "Barbaric" russians invented a lot of things, you know. Russia even supported american independence and north in civil war, Russia sold Alaska and still was betrayed by America.
