What if Germany captured Paris in 1914 | Project Kaisertum Episode 1 

Hey, join my Patreon, where I will give you early access and some spoilers to future videos on this series! www.patreon.com/RewritingHistory

Well, now you're just spoiling us with great content

My only point of contention is how much British land was taken in the treaty, I would imagine the Germans would avoid taking excess British possessions, especially bigger ones in east and Southern Africa, given it would easily make them a mortal enemy when they could have been turned to isolation if escaping relatively unscathed. Otherwise I like everything about this one and am eager for the continuation of the series.

I’m a simple man, I see a RWH WW1 video, I press like

Correction: It's unlikely the baltics would gain those borders like they did historically. There would be an United Baltic Duchy--since the germans wanted to create a baltic-german country--maybe even including Lithuania, too.

The ottoman lore will be crazy

5:44 bro was playing hearts of iron 0 💀

The fact that this was released on the French national day is just 😂

Did i just hear "kaiserreich isnt as interesting" 😱

"The Germans are near!!" The kid (1:35): 😀

For such an excellent alternate history RU-vidr. It's a crime your this underrated.

I would like to point out that the border of Bulgaria and the ottoman empire is wrong. Bulgaria owned the southern part of western Trace, including Alexandroupoli, then known as Dedeagach and the ottoman empire owned only the northern chunk of western Trace, which they gave to Bulgaria in 1915. Regardlessly I am excited about the series!

How does attacking the Netherlands make a shred of sense when A) the Netherlands already let Germany move troops through it to attack Belgium despite being one of the countries guaranteeing Belgian neutrality B) they now have to waste troops and time fighting the Netherlands C) fighting to gain access to the railroads (that they already had access to) doesn’t speed up their path to Paris, it just delays their advance on Belgium that’s between the Netherlands and France anyways

A mini-series , a surprise to be sure but a welcome one

This is so good; The quality of maps and animations make one stick to the video every single second.

What If Asian nations (China 🇨🇳, Japan 🇯🇵, Manchuria, Mongolia 🇲🇳) colonized Siberia instead (assuming had Russia 🇷🇺 never annexed it and hadn't conquered it)

One thing about Karl I of Austria is that he never wanted a "Danubian federation" he only proposed this after the U.S. declared that they wanted self determination, Karl actually held more to the idea of creating a third crown in the Balkan for the southern Slavs.

A series?, interesting we don't see many of them

This looks intresting and I'am going to watch second episode.

Great Video Rewriting + interesting Titel since “Kaisertum” isn’t even a (to me (I’m German)) known German Word but it would probably mean something like “Kaiser cult” since -tum often means religion/cult (e.g. Christentum is Christianity)

Another great from rewriting u make my day better

your content is top notch man

Love your content! Thanks For this ❤❤❤❤

My Favorite What ifs are the projects that have more episodes in them

Amazing thumbnail 🔥🔥🔥🔥🎉🎉

You're my favorite alt history channel, excited for this series

We can no longer say french or the trench

Great video! Maybe the war spoils in the east are a bit too much though.

Yo new series? Lets go!

New series let's goooooooooooooo

I'm hooked! I'm subscribed!

It is almost assured for Italy to join the Central Powers at the last second as in our timeline the Austrians offered italian the italian speaking part of south Tyrol if Italy remained neutral and there were a lot of negotiantions between Italian and Austrian diplomats to decide the price of an Italian entry in the war on the side of the Central Powers. These negotiations were however cut short due to the hate the italian goverment and monarchy had of Austria and because almost every Italian general and strategist was sure of an Entante victory, leading to Italy joining the Entante. So yes, in this timeline the goverment would be adviced by it's generals to join the Central Powers, leading to Italy gaining Savoy Nice Corsica and Tunisia.

As an Armenian, I am horrified by this scenario.

This Video felt different than the others from rewriting historys channel Idk maybe its only me

Love the random coin flex in the middle of the video.

13:31 *Northern Epirus. Actually Germany promised Northern Epirus, the Dodecanese islands, and respect for the territorial integrity of Greece in Macedonia and the Aegean Islands. They also promised Bitola (Monastiri), Doirani and Gevgeli in Southern Serbia. But Cyprus was promised to the Ottomans. All of these were promised by the Kaiser for Greece to simply stay neutral

You should make a video about "what if WWI started in 1911 due to the Agadir crisis" (if you didnt make the video on it yet)

cool scenario, I wonder if a french hitler would rise to power and try gaining lands to recreate a massive French Empire like what Napoleon did 🤔

Underrated RU-vidr. To be honest, even though this universe probably isn't the most realistic, I love the idea!

LoreDad influence right here, it looks cool tho

6:36 France just spamming Last stand... never gonna run out of command power

i love your hoi4 jokes they always make me laugh and the scenario was very good and interesting

I think that making AH more competent for this scenareo is realistic because in our timeline they declared parcial mobilisation before the war making that a disaster for them.

9:46 The red in this specific slide is supposed to represent the wealthy/industrial regions of France, yes? It's a bit confusing since that is also the color used for land taken by the Germans. Maybe in the future, use a different color to make it clearer? A golden color might be good to highlight the wealthy regions as it's the color of gold, as gold equals wealth.

Project kaisertum? This has to be inspired by loredad

14:23 The Austrians had the city of Kotor even before the war. Almost all of the Montenegrin coast (except the cities of Ulcinj and Bar) were under the Venezian Empire which was annexed by Austria after the Napoleonic wars. The Montenegrin King, Nikola I, specificly said that Montenegro's goals in this war, was to retake those territories, plus Herzegovina (now a part of Bosnia)

I feel like Britain would lose neither Gibraltar nor Malta as these were of similar importance to the suez to the Empire, as they needed bases for shipping in the Mediterranean. Malta could maybe be lost though it’s a stretch but Gibraltar would be fought for tooth and nail just as much as the Suez Canal, maybe even more.

I think we can all agree on 1 thing that isn't alternate history... that your videos are awesome!

The UK would not agree to these terms.

As soon as I see a new rh video go up, I click it, no matter what it is about. I am glad I clicked today!

You can make another scenario: what if the Netherlands cave in to the Germans by offering them Belgium, Luxembourg and some lands from France (Maybe French Low Countries?)

*random video* Rewriting history: let me show this club I have from this country from ….

Sweet! A new series!

16:51 they're not communist actually in the mod. They're syndicalist

if you wanted another idea you could try what if the ottomans pushed the British out of Egypt

this whole video felt like I was playing hoi4

It actually looks like a hoi mod where Germany still won ww1, without Belarus and Ukraine west of Dnipro 😊 There is one, by the way. Also, I like this idea of yours 🎉

It's a pretty interesting scenario. But I think Cyprus could be given to the Ottoman Empire since they had a claim and de jure ownership of the island till the end of WW1.

Holy shit this video is amazing

Multi episode? That's new.

16:44 bro didn't have to insult the balkans like that 🙏😭😭

You tell me, my Alternative scenario "What if Prague was capital city of Habsburg monarchy in 1526" don't change anything, but I don't thing. This is my idea: If Prague was the capital city of Habsburg monarchy, then in year 1619, durig the Bohemian Revolt in Prague, then the rovelters conquered the capital city of Habsburg monarchy - Prague and Ferdinand 2nd surrendered and Frederick 5th of Palatinate become king of the Habsburg monarchy. In year 1685 when Frederick's grandson Charles 2nd died without sons, his brother-in-law (brother of his wife) Christian 5th Danish and Norwegian king became king of Danubian kingdom (Habsburg monarchy). In reality in year 1740 Frederick 2nd (Prussian king) attacked Silesia because of destability of Habsburg monarchy and because of someone's non-recognition of Maria Theresa as queen, but in this alternative history it didn't happened, because Oldenburg monarchy (Habsburg monarchy and Denmark-Norway) was stable, everyone recognize Christian 6th as king and Oldenburg monarchy was more times bigger than Prussia. In year 1814 after the unsucceful Norwegian war of indepence the Oldenburg monarchy became federation of three states - Norway, Denmark and Danubia. After 50 years in year 1867 the federak state Danubia splits into 2 federal states - Bohemia and Hungary. In this alternative history duke Franz Ferdinand wasn't assassinated, but successor to the throne and first born son of Christian 10th - Frederick instead. The great war was going on just like in Reality. If the great war win Triple Alliance, then Knut Christian (second born son of Christian 10th) ruled the Denmark-Norway and the part of Oldenburg monarchy in Central Europe (Federal states Bohemia and Hungary) was split like in reality, but Silesia and North and South Lusatia were part of Czechoslovakia. You can edit it a bit. If you make video about this I will be happy.❤❤❤❤

OMG, new video🥰🥰🥰love it, if i had a bank account o would 100% buy"president of Bulgaria"membership ! And btw when will rp bot be update in dc?

ooooooo more then 1 episodes?

Wouldnt Belgium getting to keep Limburg and gaining Northern Brabant make it easier for railroads in this scenario be more realistic tham invading the Dutch

And thats how kaiserreich was born

Not sure about Spain getting Gibraltar as It is a very important territory for the uk and Britain Still has Naval control

Finally a series from a big alt history channel

W content also i have a question where do you find these maps,do you make them,find them, or is someone sending it to you

I highly doubt Germany would fracture Russia that much, IRL during the treaty of brest-litovsk they only initially negotiated for Poland and The Baltics to become independent, and even then the Russians ruled by the communists, who were anti-war, were reluctant to give up that much. Finland and Ukraine pretty much only became independent because they had declared and fought for their independence before the treaty was signed. The Caucasus would for sure then become Ottoman, but maybe not in its entirety as even IRL it didn't. Good video though, really well made on all technical aspects.

Lol, the hoi4 joke was super funny and accurate.

Was the second coin minted with the hole through the middle or was that made after?

1:38 why did you use that stock photo in that context lol

Here is a small improvement to the lore Considering Gibraltar is a very important territory for the British to connect them with Egypt and by proxy their whole empire I have doubts the British would give it up so easily to a neutral country So instead what I would do is I would have Spain declare war A little bit after Italy And Capturing Gibraltar, forcing the British to give it up in the peace treaty

Vid idea: what if the Netherlands joined the central powers

Now, make a mod of this. 😂

This is awesome

Mods, turn this into a hoi4 mod

Someone is going to make this a HOI4 mod, just give it time to flesh out.

Idk if Britain would really lose this much. I mean they are probably still the most powerful country by then and it's not like any of their land was invaded or ever even threatened.

why would greece get cyprus if the ottoman empire had claims there

I also want of strange reasons a mod for this. But Kaiserreich will als ways be in the center of my gaming heart

I think the treaty is too harsh in Russia, the irl treaty was only so harsh because the Russians refused to surrender as the allies kept promising them gains. This resulted in Lenin getting set to Russia and the very harsh treaty of Brest-Litovsk. If we look at the historical initial peace offers they only wanted Poland, Lithuania and Latvia. While something harsher is likely I think adding Estonia, Finland, Ukraine (even if only the Russian conception of Ukraine, ie not including Novorossiya), AND the caucusus is realistic. Especially since the ottomans were both losing to the Russians and committed genocide. I think taking Poland the Baltics and the caucasus as independant states is likely the harshest it would get in a timeline where France is impotent.

@rewriting-history what happens to the Dutch east indies if Germany invaded the Netherlands in your series

I think, as like as in The Great War redux Hoi4 mod, After taking Paris, they would sign a white peace, with some condition.

"Thats it ? That was the video ? That was just the Kaisserreich universe !"

Nice

13:44 its not possible! The balkans are stable!

How many coins does this man have?

Imo Ukraine and Poland are more likely to be swapped, with Ukraine being ruled by a Hohenzollern, and Poland "electing" a Habsburg king (maybe in return for the already very autonomous region of Galicia and Lodomeria going to Poland so that the Poles there aren't a problem to the Austrians and in Poland itself the people see a reason to ally a former occupant) since the Germans and the Russians were much less liked by Poles (due to their internal policy towards Polish people being a lot harsher in the second half of the XIX century than the Habsburgs who just gave them some autonomy) whilst the Habsburgs were the "lesser evil". Germany also had more plans towards Ukraine than the Habsburgs did, and they saw Ukraine as an important ally not only against Russia, but also against Poland or Austria-Hungary if they "tried anything"

Rewriting coins collab

Germany capturing Paris in 1914 wouldn't be a world war, it would be short war, pls make my vid

Not very realistic. I doubt the borders would have changed much, if the war ended so early. Only when the stakes are higher would the borders change alot. Thats is, when you have invested millions of lives.

na if germany retreats from east prussia it would give them buffs

why Bulgaria never gets danube delta

Here from discord 🗣️

Bro is not loredad 😭🙏

11:15 And f-ck his communist calls? 💀

Honestly interfering scenario, I would play this if it were made as a Hoi4 mod

Even When Making A Series This Guy Still Shows Off His Coins, May i Ask What Kaisertum Means?
