If you're still interested in WWI, I have a video about why Zeppelins Always Sucked, on my second channel KnowledgeHub ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pY6U0mj3e5Q.html
While this video and the last was very interesting, it still didn't answer a question I had: What happens in Asia? For one you have the British in India. How would a German victory affect British rule? Would the Germans try and grab land in India or French Indo-China? And what about Japan? Would they still go for China despite Germans holding land there? Not only that but Japan was on the side of the British during the war, what would they have to pay because of their defeat?
Until you realise the large culture of so-called 'scientific' racism and anti-Semitism that would flourish under the continuing Militarist-imperialistic culture that Germany was the centre of in the 1900s that would only be reinforced by its victory. OHL wouldn't be so quick to give up it's power that it had gained in the war you know.
Around 1900 rasism and Anti-Semitism were spread around whole Europe and Nothern America, the whites always thought to be something better than people of other skin color. And there has been a mistrust against Jews for hundreds in whole Europe because they had a different religion than the Christian majority. Saying that Racism and Anti-Semitism is something typicall German it stupid, have look at the former apartheid in South Africa and in the US. This scenario would be a far more better timeline than our history was. The lives of nearly 100 Million people and even architecture, art and other culturals objects would be saved.
Weltreich, an alternate history where Germany wins WW1 by gaining support of the Italians and Americans. But is a book written in Führerreich which is an alternate history of what if Germany lost WW1, only thing is that that is a mod inside of Kaiserreich where Germany wins WW1. Just a suggestion. Please someone make this modception happen.
Darth Vader wait wait wait, so Weltreich is a mod where Germany wins WW1, an alternate history of Führerreich, which is an alternate history of Kaiserreich, which is an alternate history of our world
Without the UK and USA in World War I, the USA or Canada would not have had food shortage in the late 1910s. Grain shortage was a main reason for the 18th amendment (prohibition), which would not have happened in this timeline. No prohibition means no mob rule, and probably no FBI. With surviving German heritage and without prohibition, American beer would have remained at the high quality it used to hold until the 1910s. German dominance over Eastern Europe, and no Soviet collectivization of farms, would mean that beer would replace vodka in much of Europe. Over the following decades, the rest of the world would adapt Western drinking habits. It would be a world of beer.
Also: The Ottoman Empire went through a secular revolution, which would in this timeline include most of the Middle East. Without Lawrence of Arabia, no Saudi Arabia, and no Wahhabism. The Muslims would be more liberal, and drink more beer.
Okay, call me crazy but this timeline actually sounds really good! I mean, no nazis, almost no communists, no holocaust, no second war (because the loser simply can't start one), Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire broke down in a much better way, so stable Middle-East and Central-Europe, far less civil wars...not to mention no nuclear bomb. Even if there would possibly be a cold war between someone, I think it actually would be better XD
You'd still have invention and innovation. Nuclear weapons (and power) would still be developed. Technologically, we'd probably be about where we are now, just possibly with more German influence on the world market. Yes, the United States would be different, but I don't think in a bad way. Heck, we may have even had our own little war with Japan, given their ambitions following World War I.
@@PanzerVII-df8hg America could have developed a strong economic relationship with Germany as they have with China in our timeline and since most Americans are German desceny,, it would have been a more stable relationship. Plus Japan would still be as imperialistic
Gabriel Angelo Well for one thing, those things would’ve probably been invented anyway because Germany isn’t known for anything if not it’s ingenuity and America wasn’t big on imperialism or colonialism or whatever ism you want to pull out of your ass that has lost all meaning because it’s used so frequently and that those words carry no weight anymore. And besides, the Europeans were far more heavily invested. To spell it out for you, Intervening in foreign wars and propping dictatorships ≠ Imperialism or Colonialism
There’s a novel in the Kaiserreich universe (a mod for the Hearts of Iron games) about if Germany lost, and then somebody made a mod about that book as well which of course has another alt-history novel inside its universe. So there is now an alternate history of an alternate history of an alternate history.
An important note: The german empire wasn't an absolute monarchy, but rather a constitutional one somewhat similar to that of Britain's (the aristocracy was still generally more powerful than in britain, but there was universal male suffrage, with a capable and powerful parliament). It wasn't fully democratic, but it certainly wasn't autocratic, or even an aristocratic oligarchy, but rather a weak democracy.
@magicblanket Well, sometimes it's a mistake, sometimes not. On one hand, Wilhelm should have listened to Bismark about an Russo-Germanic alliance, on the other hand, Bismark at his old age was raving about the liberals and workers rights and wanted to preserve the old at the expense of Germany.
Germany actually had a different type of constitutionalism (Prussian Constitutionalism) than most other constitutional monarchies, in this system, the Kaiser was able to intervene in politics unlike England/UK, in which the monarch is purely symbolic and has no political power other than shutting down parliament. Yes, I am late to this.
Bro, Platoon said in Republic, that aristocratic government, it's the neste government. So, did not existe an oligarchy and aristocratic country at the same time. The democracy it's the worst type of tyranny so. Your comment is just American think, not philosophical, democracy doesn't work.
@@lucasanonimo1070"i rather listen to some dude that lived 2000 years ago and also thought our sun had a soul and write his name wrong when citing him rather than considering modern philosophers because they dont support my point of view"
Honestly, I think this alternate world is pretty dang interesting, someone should write a book about something like this. Personally, I find it fascinating to think of a timeline like this.
Gray Tide in the East by Andrew J. Heller. The book follows a path for German victory as spelled out in the Part 1 to this video. Germany doesn't violate Belgium neutrality, and concentrates it's armies in the East, defeating Russia rather easily. England stays out of the war, and France exhausts itself in one disaster after another. There are I think two sequels to this book, which I have not read, but which go into the growing international tension between Germany and the United States after the war.
I am currently writing a dystopia about what would happen if the war in Ukraine causes WW3, from a German perspective. I absolutely love history, and I am one of the few Germans who recognises the German empire as the first United German state and not as just some anti-democracy. So I may do that as well. Maybe in the Midwest of America and in Germany itself when one of the characters goes to study in a German city like Köln, Berlin or München. That's actually a pretty good idea, I might do that after the nuclear dystopia.
Also the world in general would probably have a more sophisticated culture, though I wonder if we would still have heavy metal music in this time line as well
Just imagine a midwestern American walking his dachshund to the next bakery to get some fresh Brötchen and greeting with a nice "Guten Tag" quite amusing imo
Western propaganda against Serbia is terrifying, we are presented as a monsters but in the ww1 half of our people sacrificed themselves for allies and in the ww2 we were the only country to fully liberate themselves from the germans.
Captainwilts "What if Captainwilts wasn't a twat and understood Cody has a life outside of RU-vid and wasn't obligated to make a video for them every week?"
Yuh YuhYuh ooooo. I'm so offended. how dare you imply I'm a young child.... and what do you mean mavericks suck? my name isn't related to any kind of maverick in that way.
Captainwilts Then the channel would suffer from Channel Drift as the videos become lower quality and attracted a dumber, younger auidance. Cody eventually ends up spending about 20% of the time he does per video currently and uses clickbaity trends to compensate for the poor quality. Eventually we get clickbait titles based on trending issues with stupid thumbnails. I.E: DONALD TRUMP IS MUSLIM?! WHAT IF ALTERNATE SCENARIO. You can problem say goodbye to the cartoon characters as we get emojis. Terrifying isn't it... So be thankful high quality education channels like this exist and quit complaning.
Honestly in retrospect, this outcome, considering a catastrophic random event [i.e, some austrian painter] didn’t occur, this timeline doesn’t seem THAT bad.
What if we lived in an inverted earth? All the land would be water, and all the water would be land. and the depths would be inverted too, like the peak of Mount Everest would be the deepest point in the ocean and the deepest point of the Mariana trench would be the highest mountain in the inverted world. Please consider making a video on this scenario, Cody, it'd be so interesting and it'd make my day.
Mblocky Bloks one main issue is that with a lot less water on the world, the climate, weather itself will become so much different to our own world, it'll not only alter the history of human but the entire history of life. plants, dinosaurs and we mankind may not even exist in this alternate world at the first place
Filimon Abundis Superiority complexes, racism, endless wars in Europe due to bitterness and hate, colonialism still a thing, women’s rights would not be a thing until waaaaaaaaay in the future.....(maybe a good thing considering where that shit went in our timeline), Slavery etc. There’s many more issues that could rise up from this alternate timeline that no one will ever know for sure. It looks bright but the underlined problems are still there. But again “Who knows?” is the question. It could either be the best damn thing that could’ve happened or the worst of two evils.
Jorge Antonio Arreaga Germany had a lot more rights for Frauen (though for what I heard for Prussia and I don’t see how it would be pushed to a later date), slavery wasn‘t that big in the 20th century anyway (even then we have slavery modern day), bitterness because the French can’t get over losing Elsass-lothringen and probably there colonies, Colonialism would probably end around the same time or maybe a bit later down the line, and the ethnic borders would be redrawn as the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire would face collapse bring life to Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Bosnia, the mid-East would be colonized way less with Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Iraq, and Cyprus being free and untouched by British and French hands. But as you stated, we will never truely know.
It would've been wonderful for the Germans. I can't say the same for the French, Russians and everyone living under Germany's puppet states and colonies.
Facism would still come, probably in France since it nearly happened in reality (a failed coup in 1934). But you have no institutionnalised liberalism to face it. Worse still : Germany's ambitions for after the war were huge ! They wanted Belgium anexed, all of French Lorraine and a part of the Meuse + Belfort (a fortified town that stoped them in 1870 and 1914), virtually surrounding Switzerland. In time you could bet one aggressive general would just think "Warte ! Why don't we anexed those German speaking people too ?". Russia would never have been stabilized, if you look at the white leaders it was just another revolution in the brewing. And the US would most likely still be in very bad terms with Germany (anti German pressure mounted in 1915 and war was declared in early 1917, even without direct fights between armies, it was too late for the two countries to just "be friends" anymore). The matter of Japan remains unchanged, and the Pacific War still has to happen. All in all I think that except (and that a big EXCEPT) there might be no Shoah, this timeline might be even worse than ours, with longer, unending revolts and wars.
Zacharie Guillerey Keep in mind. no soviets. no facists (that matter at least, france and italy are too weak) Colonialism ends sooner from overstretch. and even if communism returns to russia its too weak to have much influence
He isn't saying that, Soviets might still win the war like they did in our timeline! Who knows what might happen to France or Britain due to the economic impacts and how might the world cope with the Great Depression in a time when the most powerful nations are still obsessed with empire building! (Unlike in our timeline where Britain and France had colonised all the land really available it could lead to another war with Germany over mittleafrika)
Just to add something here, Cody: If Germany took Poland, there would have been a continuation of massive Slavic immigration to the United States (and possibly even to German colonies). The reason the United States did not become more Slavic is that the First World War cut off the tap, but between 1890 and 1915, massive numbers of eastern Europeans entered the US. Then, with Poland being independent for three decades, immigration tapered off, except for a mostly Jewish blip after the second war. If Germany kept Poland, a traditional enemy, they would have encouraged this emigration, as the thirty percent German minority and twenty percent Jewish minority would have been the ones to benefit (and people forget that before the Nazis, Jews were heavily pro-German/ pro-Austrian, as these empires were good for business). Moving past Poland, Ukraine would have also continued to be a massive source of new immigrants. This is because the ethnic Ukrainians have never been more than about half of the population, and being empowered by German backing, they would have encouraged the continued departure of minorities. The Austrians and Germans have always regarded Ukrainians as just another Slavic race, but they used them to fight against Russians, Poles, Czechs, etc. It is doubtful that Germany would be concerned with the internal policies of Ukraine after the war, as long as the resources kept flowing west. Furthermore, with the Soviet Union not rising- or at least the Russian civil war continuing for decades- it is possible that Russia as well would have seen a continuance of this trend. One of the least discussed topics in history, is how Slavs became the predominant source of new immigrants after 1890. Obviously, while the Kaiser was not a believer in lebensraum per se, Germans would not have to leave Germany to have land to farm, something that caused massive numbers to migrate to the Midwest. They could simply use things such as legal manipulations, or in the case of Poland, declare that the Russian owned estates were now to be redistributed to millions of German veterans. Illiterate and uneducated Slavic minorities, such as the Poles, would not exactly be able to suddenly seize the lands of the Russian nobles, as they did after Poland became independent in 1918. They would not exactly be able to take the jobs in factories, as they were too uneducated, and millions of Jews in the pale of settlement could have easily helped the German cultural conquest of Poland (and would have been more fitting to work in a factory, as most were not farmers, and had a rudimentary education). Just as millions of Americans look to Ireland now, would a more Slavic United States have a different relationship with a German Europe? Would there be race riots in places like Milwaukee, between the constant stream of dispossessed Poles and earlier German immigrants? Would these Slavs get along with the Jewish communities in the United States, which were very pro-German until the Balfour Declaration? Furthermore, I think you forget that Austria Hungary's main issue was that each ethnicity in the Empire wanted the same relationship Hungary had, to be an equal partner. When Hungary became elevated to that status, they began to force non Germans and non-Hungarians to assimilate in their half, which also caused massive emigration to the United States. If the Empire would have been triumphant, who is to say that they would not continue these policies? The neat little ethnic boundaries in western Europe are nothing like those in the east, where dozens of ethnicities always lived in scattered pockets (such as Ukrainians in Serbia, or Germans in Rumania). It was the same in the Ottoman Empire, where Turks were all over the place, but so were Greeks, Armenians, Assyrians, and many others. Instead of those two countries dying, there is a definite possibility that by winning the war, they would have simply continued their policies of forced assimilation. Serbia would almost certainly be absorbed back into Austria-Hungary, and there is a good probability that the Turks would have at a minimum gained political control of the Caucus and Greece. The Turks still had a caliph in 1918, and it was only the war that ended this institution. A Turkish victory could have convinced millions of Moslems that "Allah had willed it." People forget that the Arab rebellions against Turkey were based on the fact that secular Arabs convinced the religious majority that the Caliph was corrupt and not truly Moslem. A major victory would give the mullahs (who were paid by the state), the popular authority once again. Just as Ataturk rose because of the Ottoman Collapse, and that is why modern Turkey is a secular Moslem state, the literal "Young Turks" would have been harshly dealt with. And as long as German companies were allowed to do business in the empire, the Turks would have been propped up as a useful ally. The Germans ignored the massacre of Armenians all along, so what did they care if the Ottomans built their unity on a resurgent religious faction? As you say, Germans feared an unstable Russia, but they would not have wanted to see their two allies collapse, either. Not for economic reasons, as more countries are harder to deal with then two clear cut states. Not for political reasons, as Germans are not stupid, and they know that the UK and France would be out to get them. A German superpower would be more like that of China, then that of the US. China does not interfere in the policies of African states, as long as the Chinese are making money, and Germany would not care what Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, Ukraine, or any other pro German state did within its borders, as long as German banks controlled the capital in those countries. The German Empire was not Nazi Germany, but that did not make them overly concerned with human rights, either. While Prussia stopped racial discrimination against Jews in 1867, France had the Dreyfus affair thirty years later.
Dude I'm begging you please don't call us Moslems, its seriously so cringy that it's makes my stomach feel like it's being dipped in acid. It's Muslim or Muslims.
@@yeetersaurusrex9142 not particularly, it just makes me and other seriously Muslims cringe. I'd even forgotten about this. However some of us just get unnecessarily mad at this
I know this timeline sounds better on the outside, but there is definitely a variable we aren't seeing that definitely would screw everything up completely.
As one of many German Americans, I would like to personally thank you for bringing up what happened to us during WWI back at home. because sadly this subject is kept under covers and is for the most part very unknown. I personally believe it should be spoken of more and taught in American schools, for the many German American children to learn and know and maybe even gain a new interest in their cultural background.
@@luftwaffle4327 I have no idea I wrote this 5 months ago and I just came back and saw this comment and I am so shocked that I actually understood him.
Depends on ideology really. This would result in a much more politically conservative and traditionalist than a "modern" Liberal/Democratic and Progressive world. Personally I'd prefer modernism over traditionalism.
I dunno. Germany was on an endless quest for expansion and through expansion of occupied territory comes war. I doubt the timeline would have changed much like he states here but merely prolonged WW2 to perhaps a larger and more catastrophic war ending in more deaths and most likely more suffering. Better for the ruling elites sure. For the rest of us, not likely. The monarchs have complete control and democracy would almost be a thing of the past. IT would in fact be a lot worse. A lot.
+Crafty Veteran Pre-WWI most European countries were on an endless quest for expansion. The reason that changed is because of the horrors of modern warfare and the vilification of the title of "Empire". Germany did end it's quest of expansionism, but after the Great Depression hit and with all the economic problems Germany had, someone with ideas like Hitler's probably didn't sound so bad at the time, and such with the rise of Fascism in Germany that quest for expansionism was reignited. In this timeline that AlternateHistoryHub (AHH) provided you would likely have seen a similar thing happen with the vilification of Empires since the war was still terrible, and caused by Imperialism. WWII, if it were to happen in this timeline, would likely be fought between The Central Powers + USA and France + Britain (+Russia?), I'm not sure how Japan would fit into this war if it did fit into it at all, but if it was in the war, it would most likely be a third pact or with France and Britain, judging by their relations with basically all of the Europeans, with the only cooperation being with Britain prior to WWI in our timeline. So assuming Japan ignores European affairs that just leaves Europe as the only theater of war in WWII. It is impossible to gauge how bad the war would be and who the victors would be, but it would likely be on the scale of WWI in terms of how bad it would be. Also Democracy wouldn't become a thing of the past. The United States wouldn't give up it's entire history and culture simply because Germany was monarchist, so democracy would not die out.
I love watching these videos knowing that every single subject matter is something I can search for on the steam workshop and immediately find 100 mods for on Hearts of Iron 4.
Watching this a year later, there is a beautiful mod for the game Hearts of Iron IV, called Kaiserreich, that sets the scenario to a post WW1 europe with germany having emerged from the war victorious.

@@ceoofantifa7270 First of all, sending most of their men to die in WW2 cus of commie organization in the military, which would cause lots of unnecessary deaths, worst case of this seen in Finland. Also commies are pretty shit at bureaucracy, which caused most famines in the USSR. Lots of such problems they would outright deny to keep on the appearance of their ideology working. Also would be good to mention the ideological persecutions, Russians being killed, peasants being taken their lands by force, etc. The cost of course being Russia being left with a stagnant economy, an aging population, shit commie-block streets, sometimes empty shops cus od lack of product. Also the widespread corruption of the leadership. Of course, also the fact that they've violently subdued the growing Russian culture and faith. If not for commies, Russia could have become one of the greatest countries the world would see, instead of devolving into a second world country.
@@elvir7292 Well if the Ottamans join maybe but if not I don't think the coalition can do anything to Bulgaria especially when they lose big chunks of their territory to either Bulgaria or Austria-Hungary(if they are not outright annexed and split between the 2) ,forced to demilitarize,give reparations and probably also lose strategic points on the borders(like what happened to Bulgaria in Treaty of Neuilly).
Здравей. Anyway at least we showed our worth when in Bulgarian occupied Macedonia the Serbs, Greeks, French and English Combined attacked from the Greek border and we still held our ground.
Yuh YuhYuh No need to insult, first because I'm pro Putin and this isn't a suggestion to make him look bad (or good); second because it's just ALTERNATE history, search on the vocabulary the meaning of that word.
1. He isn't communist. 2. He was a secret Christian during the USSR. 3. He is religious. He wouldn't remake the USSR, but if he wasn't so heavy handed in elections a communist could have been elected instead and may have tried to remake it.
+Il Capitalista he's certainly shown interest in the former republics I could see it happen probably without the Asian republics maybe just eastern Ukraine, Belarus, Transnestria, the Georgian states.
themutantlizard Think about what "leftist ideoligies" means in that context. It means Liberalism and Social Democracy (if you think of the Democratic Party after reading the world Liberalism you should google what it actually means). Women's rights would take much longer to be strengthened even in more progressive countries (women couldn't even vote in most western countries in 1914). Workers Unions, social safety nets - all these basic things would take much longer to be implemented, if implemented at all. Racism and anti-semitism would still be an issue in Germany and with larger influence it could stay an issue around the world for even longer. As already said above, Colonialism would be a much bigger issue and it would take longer to come to an end. The resulting wars would still be fought at some point and if anger built up even longer, it could get even messier than in our timeline. If you think about the actual historic context, you wouldn't be as sure as you seem that this alternative world would be better.
The Jamaican Republic Hitler wouldn't but I think at some point fascism would still rise in Germany. It's history of nationalism, a kind of perceived backwardness compared to France, Great Britain and later the US, anti-semitism, militarism, conservatism and feel of superiority towards most or all other countries nearly demands it. WW1 wasn't the reason for the rise of Fascism in Germany, it was only the triggering event. The reasons would still exist without it or after a german victory.
You may have a French Hitler-like Napoleon wannabe though, considering France would get extremely reactionary after losing to Prussia twice! Oh yeah and the Ottomans would still be free to genocide it's population nonstop.
ShantyIrishman oh look, another American who think they're still Irish. Britain will give back Northern Ireland to the Irish when the US gives back America to the Indians.
As someone from Belgium I can only say that this doesn't sound bad. My country is left alone for 2 wars, yes France might be unhappy but think about all the positive things... jews are happy, no war's in the middle East, Japan and Korea are happy, Vietnam would be happy as well... all would be good in the world. America would be more cultural. Everything would be great. Modernising would have taken a bit longer but not sooo much (wou could be in the 70's freedom by now maybe) I'm loving this. Ofcorse still people died ..but that's the human race ...we are dumbasses
It sounds good, but the human race has a habit of fighting. I don't trust perfect rosy predictions. We are def missing any random wars that spontaneously pop up because.... because human nature
Wait, I just realized I misread your comment. Everyone would be happy in this alternate scenario (I read as they would not be happy). And that changes the meaning entirely
Mussolini’s would have probably stayed a socialist tho, until WW1 he was part of the Italian socialist party (he was kicked out because he was pro-war). Fascism, like we know it probably wouldn’t have happened or would come much later. People like Hitler and Mussolini just profited off the instability of the economic crisis, the soldiers being out of jobs and the nationalism in both countries. Without the Italian people being enlisted/conscripted into the army, the number of unemployed soldiers after the war wouldn’t have been as high in this timeline. Also the Italians wouldn’t have the feeling of being betrayed by their allies in that timeline (after WW1 the allies didn’t give all the lands the Italians wanted) diminishing the radicalization of Italian nationalism.
Hey cody, could you please make a video "what if Hillary Clinton or Burney Sanders won the presidential election?" because I'm damn curious to find out.
Kevin Poppe we are not whining we are protesting which is a right protected in the constitution. and we have EVERY right to protect and or whine as he has already broken SO many laws
@MarkoWasHere Hmm, funny, cuz in our timeline the Germans got completely fcked over after WW1 4 times (After losing the war, dozens of attempted coups by communists and fascists - Huge reparations leading to massive inflation leading to massive famine - Occupation of the Ruhr by the French - And the Nzs), yeah, losers lose in wars, that's how everything worked until that point. But the world would've been much better, there wouldn't be such a Ism problem, decolonization would be much smoother without the pressure from USA, avoiding a lot of the wars that's happening to this day.
And then would immediately fall apart as no one wants to rally against a powerful imperial Germany. Not to mention the crown in italy would get full support from multiple monarchies to quell any fascist uprising.
What would be bad here? That’s the question. I mean, the only problem in the West would be with France and England who are salty about their loss, especially France. But will that really be such a problem later on? Both of these countries are incapable of doing a world war 2 like the Germans did, so at least in Europe, yes it would be A LOT better
Kein radikaler Islam, keine Wirtschaftszusammenbrüche, kein zweiter Weltkrieg und kein kalter Krieg, keine DDR und Sowjetunion und vor allem kein Nazi-Regime, NSU und Hooligans in Ostsachsen. Ich würde dort gerne leben. Aber es gibt wahrscheinlich eher keine Demokratie und immernoch Kolonialisierung.
That would be cool, as German is kinda easier to learn (with grammar and pronounciations that actually make sense), is far richer than the English language (Weltschmerz, Lebensmüde, Kennen/Wissen...), and makes alot more sense ("a" is not always read in the same way in English, but almost always read as A in German)...
Ironically, a German-dominated century (at least the one described here) would probably have been a better timeline. Now, I’m not those Germanboos that I keep hearing about, but it legit sounds like it could have been nice. Especially as Germany becomes less of an absolute monarchy, not having to worry about what Wilhelm wants to do.
Yeah I agree too. Unlike WW2, Germany was not led by an inherently violent ideology, and they don't aim to straight up delete any group of people from the face of earth. Germany was not that different from Britain or France, except maybe the harder to learn language
+Dan oz pretty easily, the nationalists had the upper hand for the length of the war, if Chiang Kaishek simply made better decisions and didn’t place such significance on the Communist witch hunt over administrating his nation, or the US intervened to some small degree either by helping administer the nation or end the communist goose chase earlier then the nationalists would’ve won
Then I would be rich (My grandfather who lived through the civil war was a neurosurgeon, and they would have made bank if it weren't for those darn communists)
Well, - Ottoman Empire was much more tolerant to ethnics and religions than Turkey in our days - Ireland proably became a united state as Germany wanted the English kept busy with their western coast - Arabs were betrayed in both scenarios but could expect to have more homogene boarders, so less conflicts than today - kind of cold war today England/France vs. Achse powers - USA history wouldn't have change much but investigated much more into pacific area. Perhaps first man on moon an european? - colonies were no economic win indeed and would became indepandent over the years. But German language still spoken in some parts of african continent. - open question: could Germany Austria-Hungary solve the internal natinalities struggles? In a good way the monarchie became a role of representers for all their peoples and political power shifted completly to local and Reichs parlaments. In a bad way, Wilhelm II and Co. kept in Deutschtum that would have lead into another Sarajewo for sure. BTW I wouldn't exist as my parents fell in first love in a shelter during allied air strikes at the end of WWII. So for me is hard to say Yes or No only ☺
assuming that technology would have still advanced as it did in our lives, germany would have been first on the moon and than possibly the US afterwords
Yes, it would be more peaceful until like the 60's, but nowadays we live in the most peaceful era in all times. on the other hand, the world will be less populated, and with less pollution as well since globaliztion wouldn't happand which means some places like China for exemple would have better history then the modern day china, and less slavery under globalistion, but more slavery under german imperlism, global warming wouldn't happand and alot more stuff about how such a victory would infulence the world for the better or the worse. Welp as for me, I wouldn't exist without allies victory on ww1, so I guess its better for me that the allies had won the war.
In this scenario, if Austria-Hungary were to break apart, there would be a 100% probability that German speaking parts of A-H would be absorbed into the German Empire.
Question: I wonder what the Bundesliga would be like in an alternate timeline...? Answer: Probably even more awesome than it already is! ⚽🇩🇪⚽🇩🇪⚽🇩🇪⚽🇩🇪⚽🇩🇪⚽🇩🇪⚽🇩🇪
there would be no europe and usa , there would be germany and the usa . the european union is trying to become the big european state . but it is failing . the eu is trying the same thing . not with a war , but with diplomatic tools . but is fails as well . and america has a presedent now who understands that .
Why not venus? Mars is also hard to colonize. Venus has a certain height in its atmosphere where the pressure, gravity, etc is similar earth. Sure we need protection from solar rays from the sun and acid rain but no more bulky astronuat suits? Life Noggin: hey! Why did ya copy me? Me: cause i can.
As a Pole, this timeline is pretty good. (Besides the polish borders) Made me realize how lucky we are that after all of this. Poland is Still indepedent, and doing well.
This is probably the best alternate history of a German World War I history I've yet encountered. I wish there had been more on what would have happened to the Austro-Hungarian empire, though.
Amy Snapp nah they would’ve if America was on the Germans side. And they should’ve been on the German side since the last country to Attack the US before WW1 was the British
@The Paranoid the thing is, that we can never be sure what would have happened. WW2 could still happen, maybe later on mayve not as bad but maybe even worse than it was in our timeline. Also there will probably be many other bad things avout germany winning. Not saying one is better, but both will have their pros and cons.
Thatscrazy Too bad idc bruh Germany send a message to Mexico to attack the US and the Brits intercepted the message and send it to the US. Thats why they joined the war
Hey Cody, simply love your channel. However, I do think you missed out Bulgaria as a part of WW1 which plays a big role in Central Europe and the Balkans, along side Ausria-Hungary and the Ottomans. I'm Bulgarian and i'd simply loved it if you'd just mention us, as i believe that the balkans would look a bit different in an alternate scenario with that topic
If I could go back in time I would either prevent World War 1 or make Germany the victor. Only time I've ever daydreamer about going back in time. Europe has been ruined ever since
how? and you name two bad guys that wouldnt arise. but im sure that eventually others would in their place. or maybe the world destroys itself via nuclear war
@@Jebu911But to take British colonies Germany needs a way to get military forces to Africa and the British navy just isn't going to allow that. Since the germans really wouldn't be able to threaten the home islands or britains empire I see no way the british just willingly giving up a massive part of its empire. The most likely thing that would happen is that the two sides go back to how it was before the war (not including the new land in Russia) and germany retains its existing colonies in Africa and probably takes some French colonies and Britain keeps hers.
This timeline doesn't sound too bad. I think that seeing how Britain treat their monarchy Germany would take that root and use them for the tourism industry. It's a win win really, they get to keep their power and work on public relations but have every moment of their lives shared Nationally (and with the eventual rise of the internet, Globally)
Is everyone going to brush over the fact he was talking about the horrors of post ww1 in Germany and Austria-Hungary, but not in the Ottoman Empire. In my opinion, we had it worse. A civil war, War against Greeks ans Armenia in 1920, Bullied by other nations and of course debt. The Ottoman Empire is barely spoken about when this subject comes up. The battle of Gallipoli, the Russian front where almost 1,000,000 men died from being left behind. My ancestors deserve more consideration and thought when this topic comes up. Of course when Ataturk ruled and war in all fronts was over, we got back up on our feet and pushed forward, but it took a lot of doing to do so. Thank you for listening and i hope you take some consideration and sympathy towards our fallen ancestors.
Austria would still have collapsed, it was inevitable no matter what happened because by 1914, the various ethnic groups in the empire were all becoming increasingly self-aware and making gains in their own self-determination. The Czechs and Serbs particularly were unruly and not keen on living under the thumb of the Germans. Hungary even was moving away from the German populated Austria and soon broke away as Austria-Hungary disintegrated. The Poles, Serbs, Romanians and Italians in the empire all wanted to break away and join their brethren and all did so once the monarchy collapsed. The borders would have been very different though, Hungary lost about half of its territory to Czechoslovakia, Romania and Yugoslavia and would have been far better off in every sense if the central powers had won. France would have been the biggest loser of the war, having to give up much of its African empire, pay huge reparations all over again and massive social upheaval at home, a French Hitler is not as unlikely as some would think... as France had already something similar in Napoleon.
I was thinking if Austria-Hungary would annexed Serbia,Montenegro and Albania into the empire and complete ArchDuke franz ferdinand dream of "United States of Greater Austria-Hungary" the empire could have last longer. If they took out Romania before she entered the war. If possible to get italy on central powers side(give them Greece and Cyprus) and Turkey gets India.
+DamuEmran So true. Everybody's so much looking WWI from a WWII perspective they miss these things. Like that Austria-Hungary was the 2nd largest country in Europe after Russia and it did pretty well economically too.
They've been allied with Italy by the Triple Alliance of 1882. But the same Hötzendorf who pushed this war so badly, forced a preemptive strike against Italy, their own ally, in 1911, ruining the alliance. That bloke made some much damage to his own empire...
Not for the Armenians in the long run and most Middle Eastern people since they'd live under a Caliphate that was Turkish nationalist (most ME people are arab IIRC)
4:10 Wait why Belgium colonies? If Germany never invaded through Belgium then Belgium would've been neutral the entire war, and therefore wouldn't have been affected, and the UK and Germany came to a ceasefire, so Germany wouldn't have gotten British colonies, just French colonies
A ceasefire? UK would've interfered when the French are losing (Since they don't want a single dominant power on the Mainland), and Belgium would've joined the UK in the war.
It would probably be more of a diplomatic seizing of the colonies rather than because of invasion, for Belgium at least. The type of thing like "give us yer colonies and we wont invade you" and in this case i think the Belgians would agree seeing their military might being showcased right on their border. As for the British Colonies they would probably have been seized via border conflicts since the Germans could get troops their easier. Either that or a war with Britain afterwords for the colonies where Germany would seize the colonial lands then probably hold against the British, Britain would probably not get a lot of support so it would likely end up with most fighting in Africa, which Germany would occupy as they would be able to mobilise a larger army there with their allies or them blockading the Mediterranean so Britain would have to sail down to south Africa at which point Germany would likely have or be close to full occupation. at least that's what i think.
@@michaelwilkinson2484 Not necessarily. Britain isn't going to suddenly start a war they know they can't win. And even if they did, there's actually very little that either side could do to each other. The German's were no real threat to the British Home Islands and their war machine wasn't capable of doing much in Africa, mainly due to their limited navy and ocean access (and even if they try and invade through the Ottoman Empire, the British could use the Suez and Egypt as a strategic choke point and deny the Germans any access to Africa via land). The reason why Germany suffered through the Treaty of Versailles is because the Allies literally occupied Germany so they had no choice but to accept the harsh terms. If the German's cant invade and occupy Britain or it's colonies, then they're not going to be able to force them to give them up. The only thing that could realistically happen is that the British and Germans sign a white peace when both sides realise that they're not going to be able to do much to each other. Maybe a few colonies are exchanged between the two empires so that Germany can form it's large African colony, and the British are allowed to occupy a couple of French colonies. But no way is Germany going to be able to inflict a Versailles-level harsh treaty on the British, as the only way they'll be able to do that is if they invade and occupy the Home Islands, which is simply not going to happen.
if Britain joined the war to France's defense, it would leave Belgium with no protector that wasn't already in the war, leaving them free to German invasion (or leaving them to allow German troops to move through their territory)
Personally, I think it's near impossible to know for sure. It's easy for us to laser focus on all the bad things in our timeline and stack it against all of the good things in this alternate timeline where in fact history is just a huge and complex entangled mess of good and evil deeds/events bred from older good and evil deeds/events. In terms of predictability, it's basically the weather. Who knows, maybe sooner or later on such alternate timeline, some terrible shit might go down that would make the Nazis and both world wars look like a sunday morning cartoon show. Living on that timeline might even make you wish you could live on our timeline.
I think that the emperor was not a bad person. Maybe he let the military take him by surprise and was a bit naïve. But his well-known saying: "The world should heal through the German spirit" doesn't sound oppressive to me.
Austria-Hungary was very close to collapse, getting more territory would only worse the ethnic tensions. It was doomed to fail, unless they press the Genocide button
Maybe,but it would still collapse, but in a more discipliniced way. Hungary would become independent, but more bigger, it's likely that Austria stays with Slovenia, Croatia and some italian land in a governement form of trialism. The other states would become independent with strong relations with Austria.
Not likely. Austria could barely hold the lands they already possessed much less annex new ones. A Ukrainian puppet is more likely as that's what the Germans wanted.
@@acatthatlookslikehitler1277 you are being will fully stupid if you cannot see the peace this would bring. without the rise of nazi germany the middle east wouldnt be nearly as unstable as it is today, with more stability comes a more prosperous world economy and market. there would be no cold war which would mean the us government would be more restrained in its countless violations of the constitution.
