He could distract the Central Powers armies tactically by having them redirecting their attacks against him. Of course, being invincible, those attacks would have no effects on Rasputin
Fun fact: You can like a comment by double tapping(not on laptop).You probably know this ,but did you know that you could triple tap to like and reply?
I discovered your channel when you had like 6 subs, the Liechtenstein video showed up in my recomendations and since then I liked your channel. You put my comment asking for a second part in the second part of that video. I don't know why I never bought a membership but I finnaly did it!
I didn't remember, but I'm glad you managed to make it to one of my videos. Since I don't do this format anymore you're special and I most likely won't do it again.
There was also French plans for after the war where Germany is dissolved but both the British and the American refused so maybe in this timeline this treaty is possible
True... and the AI didn't build military factories, it just bought from the international market... We all know you just do heavy tanks behind the Dniper line
Hungary having a full-blown rebellion against Austria in the middle of WW1 is an interesting idea for me. I imagine it would give the Entente reason to be more merciful towards Hungary now that they'd been a de-facto ally instead of a defeated half of an enemy. It's a general alternate history scenario I'd like to see more of.
Russia did do well in WW1, like all powers they had setbacks but there enemies were overstretched and they had considerable staying power. The stereotype of Russia in ww1 partly comes from the mismanagement of the military that started under the provisional government and majorly because of Soviet propaganda. Historians think that without the revolution the war probably would have ended in 1917, indeed this was a motivation for the revolution, victory would lead to the political death of liberalism, the Tsar would most likely have used his reinforced position to get rid of the political concessions, on top of this Britain and France were heavily involved, they wanted Russia to transition over to liberalism and were terrified of Russia owning Constantinople and thus breaking out of the black sea into into the Mediterranean. The ottoman empire had long been propped up by the rest of Europe for this exact reason. The revolution had considerable organisational support from Britain, once it happened however the duma quickly proved themselves clowns, they introduced democracy to the army, gave contradictory orders and sidelined skilled officers and generals as politically suspect, they also allowed the enemies to the left to set up parallel government organisations. Even before Lenin overthrowing their government was mostly a matter of getting troops to the capital, railway workers were a considerably more effective force in the preservation of the government than any military one. Russia could have fought the war on better terms, but to do this they would have had to have had different people in leadership positions, the Tsar lacked initiative and was overly suggestable, and to be frank if that or the quality of higher officials were better then not only would Russia have beaten Japan in 1904 but Russia probably would have allied with Germany given that that is explicitly what Tsar Nicholas and Kaiser Wilhelm had wished for, being close friends, and politically similar in their views. The other method would be reform of the army system, but to be frank that would have taken a genius imbued with unchecked power and a pretty good idea of how things would pan out and which senior officers were reliable. For the most part was the revolution, a junta plot by high ranking generals, the poor quality of the garrison of st Petersburg and the lack of a man of action on the ground nearby that spelled doom for Russia's military effort. As a purely military force they showed themselves more than capable.
I’m actually so thankful for how everything played out in ww1 and ww2. Even if Romania no longer has Bessarabia, atleast we still have a majority of all regions.
Honestly, I enjoyed this video more than your other recent videos! Idk what it was, this was just better I guess! This could really use a part two, either detailing what Russia did in Asia during this video, or an outright sequel scenario! I said it once and I will say it again, I really like this new map! Great video, keep it up man!

It's not that Nicolas wasn't interested in ruling. It was that Nicolas wanted all the power for himself. He was surrounded by people (his wife) who had urged him to maintain his authority. Had his father had taught him how to rule Russia and at least gave him a more active role in government, perhaps the czar would have ruled Russia better. But I need to research if the previous czar's had any such experience.
@@rewriting-history Maybe a failed revolt at worst. Supply and industrial problems being fixed would make the people a lot happier. Not exactly saying losing a war would be great, but if they fought well enough and had decent supply the monarchy would still be in place.
One mistake i saw is that Japanese imperialism and expansionism was a concept and was in practice way before ultranationalists rised in Europe. So East Asia would not be changed
With the threat of Russia and Germany, I think France and UK would push for milder peace for Austria Hungary to preserve balance of power. I would only see the seizing of Pozen and Alsace Lorraine from Germany. Italy get everything they promised but Triest in London agreement and surrounding Slavic populated region. Triest had been habsburg’s for 500 years and can provide sea access to them.
@@rewriting-history I can tell that, your videos slowly upgrade and become a better version than their last videos, the map, your voice, your sub count everything is increasing, you inspire me to the moon, keep up the good work, i repeat, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
I will keep doing that, but obviosly I cannot read a book just to write 1 accurate script, then I would need to upload once per 2 weeks. I will still use wikipedia and other sources, but I have started reading a lot of history books, which should greatly improve the quality of my videos
This is an intresting scenario, just one minor thing. Even if the italians were awarded dalmatia, I still believe because of the italian economic crisis, as well as other problems with the government at the time would still see mr fascist pizza man taking charge of the country.
I have heard this argument many times before. I still don't know if this is a fact, or a popular concept. We cannot ever know. I will do a RU-vid poll in the near future and see what people think. Thank you for the feedback!
@@rewriting-history Okay i'll check it out i just discovered you're channel and i'm already in love with the content and i myself collect Historical Hats uniforms guns scrap swords helmets grenades ammos and Coins (my rarest is Finnish coin from 1930)
Yeah I considered that too, but not a whole lot would change, they simply get Dalmatia and maybe Anatolia, they join the Allies in WW2 and I already have a video on that
What if Austria was competent. Getting mega boosted by the congress of Vienna and having a secure hold over Germany and Italy. Then it industrializes but also efficiently grants rights to minority in the region. Austria by ww1 then being an actual great power
@@rewriting-history i understand and im not saying borders are bad, for the matter of fact they are very clean. But you have to see the Croat perspective of being splited by 3 countries
after capitulation of Austria-Hungary i see Germany capitulating itself. In real life, even when they won russia and expanded in east, they still decided to capitulate to Antente
Maybe with a more powerfull russia the french and british try to not beeing too harsh with the germans hopping that they could become and ally against the russians in the future
@@rewriting-history this was a pretty interesting scenario but this shows how incompetent austria is Like austria got pushed back to Galicia in actual history now imagine a good russian empire
Even if Russia had generals twice as brilliant as the German ones they would still have lost the war. Very little industry, mostly centered around St Petersburg (Petrograd), Moscow and Kiev at the time. Russia had to export vast amounts of wheat and barley to Britain and France to get rifles and ammunition from them, because the smallness of their industry doesn't allow to produce them the adequate amount of weapons and ammo that their huge but poorly equipped land army needed. Its tiny industry also doesn't allow it to fight a long modern industrial war despite its immense geographical size. Ironically, Germany with Europe's largest economy and industrial output had a better chance fighting a long modern war than Russia ever did. Even when they have somehow successfully occupied East Prussia, there is no way they could have advanced all the way to Berlin without having to fight half the entire German army which had more machine guns than those of Britain and France combined, the best, and also the biggest caliber of, artillery on the planet and with the advantage of the world's best rail system. The Russians would be in for a suicide if they ever tried. Only realistic chance for them to win is to concentrate on weak Austria-Hungary. But even trying so would run the risk of a powerful German counterattack somewhere, one that even in defensive battles the Russians would still suffer heavy losses due to German heavy artillery (like in the case of Vistula River and Lodz). Perhaps the only truly realistic option for the Russians to win is for the Germans to raise the white flag after failing the Marne offensive and losing East Prussia (the ancient heartland of the German Empire) to the invading Russians, seeing the destruction of Austro-Hungarian forces by the Russians in Galicia, and for the British Royal Navy to set sail successfully crush the entire German High Seas Fleet off Bremen. That way, Russia could declare and achieve victory without having to go, or before going, through the stress of severe economic duress which caused the 1917 Revolutions in the first place.
Great video! I think it could be interesting to make more scenarios where infamously incompetent countries were more competent, like Italy, Ottomans, or Austria-Hungary were more competent in WW1, or if Italy was more competent in WW2
Yes I loved this idea and came up to these scenarios, so I will consider them. I already have a video where the Ottomans are "competent", or at least never collapse. Need to think of something for Italy
i think commie germany would be able to atleast reunite al of german little states because the allies in our timeline did nothing when germany remilitirised and when the anchluss happend so yeah
Yeah hungary wouldn't surrender if they got near budapest, remember in the ww1 of our timeline, it was austria that surrendered, making hungary surrender to. In this timeline, with vienna safe, and serbia fallen, austria-hungary keeps the fight going
No reason to doggy the Hungarians, Hungarians would anyways lose slavic lands due to Romania joining the war, Serbs would be unsatisfied and Russia would much gladly have a slavic and romanian orthodox ally in the balkans thqn a Hungarian
@@rewriting-history First Preminster Russian Empier was Peter Stolypin He was shot by the gentleman gunfighter Dmitry Bogrov during a theater performance in Kiev.
huh? Russia fought on three fronts Advancing in the Ottoman Empire and Austro-Hungary and also taking the Germans by surprise Russia is actually one of the most useful countries in the First World War, although it would be more accurate to say the most useful
I mean. Obviously you don't have the same humoristic POWER oversimplified has, but with some training you can do that. This is already much funnier than the previous one. Alt history being funny? I mean what more can you ask?
@@rewriting-history Guuud. If I can give you a tip, I think when you become better you should reduce the number of humoristic moments and spread them throught the video,like a "quality>quantity" thing. Good video btw
