What if ALL Revolutions of 1848 Succeeded? 

I find it funny that a video talking about the 1848 revolution is, well, 18:48 minutes long.

The fact that this video is 18 minutes and 48 seconds makes this video even better

*VIDEO IDEA:* What if Austria-Hungary went through with the Sixtus Affair _(where austria tried to betray germany in 1917)?_

1848: exists Monarchies: “HERE IT COMES!”

fun fact: there was going to be a revolution in britain but it was cancelled because it was raining that day

That thumbnail is PERFECT! Loved the video! Suggestion: What if Austria won the wars of italian independence?

Extremely nice touch that the video is long exactly 18.48😁

Albania in this timeline: "Thank you Napoleon, you are my best friend"

Realism 3, Ottoman is the sickman of Europe, they couldn't start such a war. Also Walachia annexing Hungarian land early is ridiculous, they were way too poor and their army was bad.

I love how you can clearly tell where the creator is from after he gives Bulgaria Constantinople after a single war.

been waiting for this for a while!

Hey! One thing I wanted to mention in connection of the Hungarian uprising and revolutionary war of 1848-49, and just share my opinion (as a Hungarian, who's grandparents are from Transylvania): Hungary made an alliance with the Slovaks (who were called "tótok" in Hungarian) in 1848, because the Slovakian nationalistic movement's leaders thought it was their best interest, to be a well respected minority in an indipendent Hungary, than in the large Habsburg Empire. After some time - and at the end of the conflict, -Transilvanian Hungarians and Romanians made peace with eachother for basically the same reason. The biggest problem was with the Croats and Serbs, because they were very much influenced by the Austrian leadership. Croatia was in a Commonwealth with Hungary from 1091 (when St. Ladislaus the I, the king of Hungary occupied the region), so they could've achived the same status of indipendence within the Kingdom of Hungary, as Hungary wanted to be within the Habsburg Monarchy. So I think even tho Hungary became multiethnic (mainly after the XVIII. century), the minor nations' leaders could've made a long-lasting pact with the new Hungarian government.

Is it purposely exactly 18 minutes and 48 seconds long?

Realism: 7/10. The idea the russians and ottomans would effectively establish non agression is ridiculous. Russia was too heavily invested in pan slavism and the ottomans just united the south slavs (well except slovenes but nobody cares about them) under their oppression. There's no way they're just going to sit on their hands. Also the ottomans shouldn't have been strong anyway. They were the sickman of europe, their army was outdated, so was their political system and their economy etc. I think even a new hungary would at least be able to secure status quo antebellum. Also im pretty sure the independence of poland in galicia and prussian poland would have led to a general rebellion in congress poland

I love this idea! It’s kinda like if we skip forward a few centuries in terms of self determination and independence

Omg great touch having the video be 18 minutes and 48 seconds

suddenly hearing a bulgarian (I assume) accent after hours of listening to people with Canadian, American, British, and Australian accents is... interesting, his accent practically woke me up from a dead sleep (not, of course, to say that the accent is painful or bad, I find it quite nice, it's just a stark contrast.

9:10 Actually during the 1848 Revolutions in Spain, yes a Carlist War was going on, but it wasn't this time to put some '''Carlos'' in charge, actually the ''Second Carlist War'' as it would be called, was more like a little insurrection in north Spain, mostly in Catalonia. The reason the war occurred was that Isabel II refused to marry Carlos María Isidro son. So if the Second Carlist War was a success, which is veeery unlikely, the result would be that Isabel II agrees to marry Carlos ''junior'', or as the carlist called him ''Carlos VI''. Thus unifying both Carlist and ''liberal'' dynastic lines.

0:31 ah yes, my favorite military general, Napoleon Bombombparta (this isn’t a hate comment, just found it funny)

NO WAY! I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THIS YESTERDAY!!

But Hungary withstood Austria and had to fight the Croatian rebellion Slovakian rebellion and the ban at vojvodin rebellion considering by this time the Ottoman Empire was in decline and wasn’t there an Albanian revolt , also they had problem collecting taxes due to armed rogue militias in the balkans meaning it will be 3 times more dysfunctional than it was irl

Can you make what if lndia was independent in 1859

One of the best videos you've made yet in my opinion

I love how wild these scenarios are!

That intro was so cool!

Great video. Here when this has just 11,6k subs

Only downside, the Belgians still exist.

As a Czech, im a bit dissapointed that Bohemia didnt became independent, as there were some revolutions aswell, but when he said Austria-Bohemia, i was like: I mean its alright like🤷‍♂ (great video as always)

As a Pole, I agree with most points you made about my country's fate should these uprisings succeed. The Polish client state would be very likely indeed, considering that just 20 some years prior a Russian client state did indeed exist in Poland before rebelling and losing. The only difference I think would happen, is that in my opinion Russia would attempt to weaken this new Polish client state by separating the eastern, Ukrainian part of Galicia, and annexing it directly into the Russian Empire. Maybe they'd also give Germany back some of the land, but it's much less likely. P.S: Now that I think of it, there was an (unsuccesfull) attempt to start a Polish uprising in Russia between the years of 1846 and 1848. I wonder if it's success would change much, probably yes since newly unified Poland would, as per the rules of "All uprising succeed", win against Russia.

Funny fact:the video has 18:48 and the year also are 1848

My man is uploading a masterpiece after masterpiece

It might seems like a short video but youtubers like you put days or weeks into the effort.

NICE as usual Suggestion:What If Franco prussian war never happened

Very good video but I have know idea how the Ottoman Empire is supposed to beat Hungary. At that time the Austrian army was probably better and more advanced than the Ottoman army but they still wouldn’t have beaten Hungary without Russian support. Meanwhile Russia would have invade the Ottoman Empire.

Kinda funny that the video is 18:48 minutes long good detail!

Also , The ukranians rebeled in galicia to in 1848, also eastern galicia was Majority ukranian , Only Lwow was polish. So it doesnt make sense "Creating a country based on nationality.", and also romanians in south bukovina

Hey! Wonderful video. Can you make a video about what if the Ottoman invasion of Italy in 1480 had succeeded?

Video idea: What if the Italian Rebellion of 1831 succeeded?

Ah yes! Lets never forget the Good ol' tradition of Making Greater Bulgaria in every Alternative History Scenario!!!

Have a wonderful day

got an idea "What if Naples formed Italy?", really unrealistic but still a cool idea since naples was a lot different and less republican to the rest, and more opposed to unification

As a Hungarian, this version of Hungary is a sight for sore eyes! 🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺

2:04 they were like that Covid meme with North Korea,ypu know one infected kext moment,0 infected,one ainfected again 0 next moment Same here except they would kill every bit of rebels on sight instead

Many Austrians also wanted to be part of Germany, that only failed because there were too many non-german ethnicities in Austria and because the prussian and austrian monarchies absolutely didnt want to. But if the non-german ethnicities would gain independence from Austria, and if the Revolutionists would be way more powerful than the rulers, Austria would have joined germany.

1) What if Italy was restored in 1400s 2) What if Holy Roman Empire never collapsed

I’m pretty sure an earlier unified Germany would include Austria. Prior to WW2, Austrians were considered as German as Bavarians and Prussians. It was only due to a certain mustache man that Austrians tried distancing themselves from being German. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Empire_(1848-1849)

As a Czech - I love this timeline

I just thought of this before I saw the notification

It wasn't Austria who ruled other nations, it was the Hapsburgs, the power behind the throne.

the fact its 18 minutes and 48 seconds long

I think it's worth noting that an Austrian empire without Hungary is more successful in industrializing, as hungarian nobles won't block reforms anymore, which would make them stronger compared to their size (of course their military strength may be weaker or similar as a lot of soldiers are missing). An Austria without Hungarian territories could also mean that the idea of Großdeutschland could succeed, which would lead to an interesting central European superpower (potentially also a big Germany ruled by Habsburgs or at least a common descendent of the Habsburg and Hohenzollern dynasty

Hey Rewriting History can you do a scenario where Chan Santa Cruz succesfully seperates from Mexico and the Yucatan briefly its quite underrated as the Mexican-American War overshadows it and its the closest thing to a Mayan state in the 19th century well I think

As a Belgian, it makes me happy that Limburg is coming back to us 😊 .The Netherlands did not want to give them to us even if this region wanted to be part of Belgium.

Wow, you really put a lot of time making the Ottomans look competent by feeding their vassals Hungarian land and then just let them crumble like a brittle cookie, I think the Hungarians would have done better considering how well they have done in the actual revolution against the Austrians whom would have been stronger than the Ottomans, even if the Ottomans had the numerical advantage, I highly doubt that they would be able to conquer significant portion (and certainly not all of) Hungary. It's really interesting to think about all the Hungarians who wouldn't have left because of the success, fun fact: Hungarians who fought in the revolution and emigrated fought in the American civil war

3:29 bro went from 1848 to the day when ironland conquered ireland

Austria also dealt with the 1848 revolutions that wanted to unite Germany so they would have joined Germany as well, especially after losing half of their empire in the east.

In an alternate timeline where all the Revolutions of 1848 succeeded, the landscape of Europe and the wider world would be dramatically different. Here's a detailed speculative timeline: **1848 - The Year of Victorious Revolutions:** - Across Europe, the people's demands for liberal constitutions, national unification, and social reforms are met with success. - Monarchies concede to the formation of constitutional governments, and a wave of democratic fervor sweeps the continent. **1850s - A Decade of Reform and Unification:** - The German states unify into a single democratic nation, becoming a leading power in Europe. - Italy also unifies, and with the support of its people, it becomes a hub of cultural and economic progress. - The Habsburg Empire is restructured into a federation of equal nations, each with its own constitution. **1860s - Industrial Expansion and Social Change:** - With political barriers removed, a surge in industrial development begins, bolstered by the free movement of people and goods. - Workers' rights are advanced, leading to the establishment of the eight-hour workday and the end of child labor. **1870s - The Rise of International Cooperation:** - The success of democracy in Europe encourages the formation of an international body to promote peace and cooperation. - Colonized nations in Asia and Africa begin to push for independence, inspired by the European revolutions. **1880s - A New World Order:** - The international body evolves into a proto-United Nations, mediating disputes and fostering global collaboration. - Scientific and cultural exchanges increase, leading to breakthroughs in medicine, science, and the arts. **1890s - The Dawn of a Progressive Era:** - Social welfare systems are established, providing universal healthcare and education. - Women's suffrage is achieved worldwide, marking a significant step towards gender equality. **1900s - The Century of Peace:** - With the mechanisms for peaceful conflict resolution in place, the world avoids the catastrophic wars of the 20th century. - The focus turns to environmental conservation, and significant efforts are made to combat climate change. **1910s - Technological Revolution:** - Technological advancements accelerate, with the invention of the internet coming decades earlier. - Space exploration begins in earnest, and by the mid-20th century, humans land on Mars. **1920s - A Global Community:** - The concept of nation-states begins to fade, replaced by a global identity and citizenship. - The world's languages blend into a universal tongue, facilitating even greater understanding and unity among people. **1930s - Utopia or Dystopia?** - The rapid changes bring about a philosophical debate: has utopia been achieved, or has humanity lost something vital in its quest for perfection? - A movement to preserve cultural heritage and diversity gains momentum, balancing the global identity with local traditions. This speculative timeline imagines a world transformed by the success of the Revolutions of 1848, leading to a more united and peaceful global society. However, it's important to remember that history is complex, and such sweeping changes would bring their own set of challenges and unintended consequences.

It's funny how the video is 18:48 long lol

how coincidential that the vid lasts exactly 18 minutes and 48 secs lol

4:17 thats how the german empire worked irl

but you forget the 2 Italian cities Trento and Trieste after the rebellion and you get Trento, Trieste and maybe Caporetto would most likely not stay neutral in all 2 world wars (maybe)

Great video. You forgot that there was a republican revolution in Vienna as well, so if every revolution succeded Austria would have became a republic and joined to Germany. Maybe also Bohemia but not sure about that.

Bohemian revolution of 1848 would mean that czech kingdom would became indepedent

Suggestion: What if France invaded Germany through Belgium in World War I as part of "Plan XVII"? Would Britain support the Central Powers?

Posen gaining autonomy under Prussia seems far more likely, and the Ottomans were partitioned way too hard while the Russians didnt even try to take advantage of that? Balance of power politics are still a major factor here to boot, at most the Ottomans go to something resembling the aftermath of the Russo-Turkish war, with Greece and Russia gaining a bit more border territories on top.

1848 video being 18:48 minutes is amazing suggestion: what if Novgorod united Russia instead of Muscovy

After these vids i think theres no senario that will save the ottomans in 19th century

The Bulgarian peace deal was only SLIGHTLY biased

Video Idea: What if Chiang Kai Shek was assassinated during the Xi'an Incident?

Video Idea: What if Serbia and Bulgaria united after Serbian victory at Battle of Velbazhd 1330

I like how video is 18:48 minutes long

Glory to Austria-Bohemia 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯

Amazing thumbnail

6:41 it would be easier to unite with the bourbon sicily tbh

The german 48'ers includes the Deutschösterreicher, in the discussions for a more confederated germany or more centralized the Austrian delegations prefered loose confederation. In saying that the german states would retain a lot of autonomy you would probably have to add austria, along with bohemia and moravia to the german confederation

note that the sicilian rebellion was made by the brithis since they wanted to annex it , and the ''sicilian'' state was higly unstable this is why the borbouns reconquerd it . its a native sicilian here speaking from palermo

Can you do what if England won the 100 years war PLEASE

16:00 Bulgaria getting all the lands there is just stupid considering the bulgars were just an uprusing here

cool, the video is exactly 18 minutes and 48 seconds long, cool coincidence

>ALL Revolutions of 1848 Succeeded >Galicia is somehow fully polish

The video length bruh

Also it always feels like every alt timeline is the ottomans lose Constantinople earlier, realistic, but the irony of it all is that Constantinople is supposed to be extremely defensible

Most normal Victoria 3 gameplay:

I think that the Italians would've asked for some cities in the Adriatic in terms of awardings for their involvement in this Balkan war, together with a struggle with France and Greece over the overlordship on Albania

16:04 Maybe greece might have a corridor so Thessaloniki is connected to the rest of the country

What if the Bulgarian-Romanian union actualy happened?

Here's an idea: What if Czechoslovakia had gotten togo? (No seriously it's actually a real concept)

As a 1/4 Hungarian WHEN YOU SAID BUDA AND PEST YOU SAID PEST WORNG 7:30

I love your accent!

Nice to see Italy unity in advance

my brother i christ austria would be part of that german unified by the 1848 revolution and bohemia also rebelled. DId you even research this topic fully or did you just gloss over it?

Why are the balkans peacefull? That litteraly impossible

As the requester of this scenario. WHY DID IT TAKE YOU 7 MONTHS TO MAKE THIS KSJFKDKCJFK

- "what if all revolutions succeeded" - Poland still not free

Constantinople might be international

Here is a cursed idea, Denmark forming Germany

Those thin polish borders sure are something

You did not mention the revolution in Galicia in 1848 during which Ukrainians also tried to create their own state

Are u Bulgarian?

the video is 18 min 48 s the irony
