As a Romanian, the Romano-Bulgar Union of Magna Vlachia and Bulgaria looked cool as hell. But I assume Carol would have taken an Imperial title after the Balkan war, and had gained also Adrianople just as Bulgaria did
I am really glad you liked it! I personally also like this turn of events and might make a full video about it. As far as Carols titles I left it out of the video but at first he will just ne King of Romania and Bulgaria as a personal union. After the Balkan war he would probably proclaim the union Kingdom and maybe upgrade his title to go along with that. As far as taking Adrianople goes they could probably even take Constantinople 8m the war if they wanted to but I already had a different ending where that happens and realistically the GPs won't allow it. That's why I chose to have than focus on retaking Macedonia.
@@InAeternumRomaMater nationalism is a diesease (empire was vlach lol) alright lol tho i do agree carol would easilly have taken ottoman thrace i feel like they wouldn't keep due to pressure from the great powers of europe
@@yoghurtmaster1688 It is even more nationalistic to call the Empire 'Second Bulgarian Empire' than the "Vlachian Empire" which is a historic name used for the Empire just how the Empire was indeed as well called "Bulgaria". Now, if you go to Bachkovo Monastery in Bulgaria, where the fresco of tsar Ioan Alexander is and the one of Ioannitsa Kaloyan (also nicknamed the "Vlach"), they are called "Tsar's of Bulgaria". But..the Empire was called Bulgaria just how the Holy Roman Empire was called Roman Empire by its German Emperor's. You can't argue against the fact that Kaloyan ("the Vlach") used _"translatio imperii"_ in his letters to Pope Innocent IIIrd to legitimise his rule over his lands and his Imperial title. He indeed say that his Empire was successor state to the old Bulgarian Empire and he is descendant of the old tsar's, which is what translatio imperii is and also is the reason they used the name "Bulgaria" to legitimise those claims just how the German Empire used the title of "Roman Empire" (later "Sacrum" during Frederick Barbarossa) in the name, to legitimise their imperial claims. Now if you read the works of Geoffroy de Villehardouin, Henri de Valenciennes, Robert de Clari and Philippe Mouskes (the same people to call Kaloyan as "John/little Ioan the Vlach", among being Niketas Choniates) you can see how they refer to the "Holy Roman Empire" as the German Empire, the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantine Empire) as the Greek Empire and the Bulgarian Empire as Vlachian Empire (Kingdom in the text, the imperial claim is not recognised). If you read the writings of Niketas Choniates (1155-1217) in his chronicle of "O City of Byzantium" and in "Europa" you can realise how the revolt of 1185 was a Vlach revolt, the Asănesti were Vlach's and that the Empire was Vlach.
No your mistaken, Greece was given Constantinople but because the treaty of severes was completely unfair the Turks fought back and was able to get a decent territory and prevented themselves from becoming a rump state due to colonialism.
I think Romania-Bulgaria would have been a banger in history and maybe even become an empire, which could have potentially lived up to this day. As a Romanian, I would have approved a union between Romania and Bulgaria
Despite all that, I think it is high time to make it clear to everyone that Bulgaria is leaving the war with the same territory it entered with. It is not the only country that lost the war and won something. The return of Southern Dobrudja took place before Bulgaria entered the war and with the consent of all the major powers at that time.
The Third Bulgarian Empire could have gone into Libya and purchased Al Uqaylah from Italy. Thus, marking Bulgaria's entry into Africa. Plus, they could have even bought Dominica from the UK.
I will consider your suggestions if I make a full length video on Bulgaria in that time period. It's gonna be kind of like an Easter egg for the people who have read this comment.
I do have plans for making these types of videos a series but I am not sure if I should keep the commentary. I was playing around a lot with the music volume because its hard to know if it's too loud when you are editing, so thanks for the feedback!
Kingdom of Romania and Bulgaria was not a bad idea. In the First Bulgarian Empire, Wallachia was part of Bulgaria. During the Second Bulgarian Empire, the Wallachian territory was a vassal of the Bulgarians and one of their staunchest allies. Also, the Bulgarian revolutionaries (hushes) in the middle of the 19th century founded their revolutionary committees and printed newspapers precisely in Bucharest, Romania, and this is not accidental. So that the Romanians are much closer culturally and historically to the Bulgarians compared to all the southern Slavic peoples.
It is very important to state that Bulgarians never wanted to "expand" towards Macedonia and the Aegean coast in Thrace or Dobrugae. They wanted to *free* those territories that were inhabited by Bulgarians since before the Middle Ages.
I like the idea of Romania-Bulgaria, but that modern flag is just bad as a flag. It looks more like abstract art then a serious flag design. Anyways great video and I like the idea of the voice overs to give nations more depth because history is complicated.
Oi you should make a video on what if Tsar Simeon I’s Bulgaria never falled, let’s say for example Bulgaria somehow keeping itself apart, while it is inevitable for the ottomans,Dacians, Serbs, Greeks, Magyars, it would be an interesting idea that no one tried to cover, I maybe got a few ideas, either let’s say that the dacians are somehow assimilated into Bulgaria or like really I have no idea how can you actually make this work but it would be a very interesting idea
You could make Bulgsria with their North Dobrudja territory thaz Russia stole and gave to Romania North Macedonia is Bulgarian , period also North Dobrudja
Romania,or walachia used the bulgarian language in the administration up to 18th and may be later century,and was part of bulgarian empire to her end in early 15th century,bulgarian tzar was calling himself tzar of bulgarians,vlachs and greeks on his seal,also count vlad cepesh or dracula was writing in bulgarian
Fun fact: there was an organisation which wanted to have a similar to the Austria-Hungary dualistic country with the Ottomans. Something like Ottoman-Bulgarian empire.
Yes I do use it as a base for my WW1 scenarios but here I just use a blank map to make the country and than slap it onto a another map if I need the scene.
I tink that romania-bulgaria could acually save the russian empire if they capitulated austria-hungry since russia could then send its toops to the now much smaller front whit germany
Yes IF Romania-Bulgaria is competent they could majority change WW1! A-H actually got basically saved by Bulgaria when they attacked Serbia and prevented their army of retreating to the Allied government in Greece. A-H had a very small army for it's size and couldn't handle the front alone. The reason I stuck to the "historical" WW1 is because I didn't want Romania-Bulgaria to take up half of the video.
Bulgaria has to be one of the most interesting counties in Europe.
Bulgaria does have a long and complicated history.

There was already a Wallacho-Bulgarian empire during the middle ages
@@vassildimitrov274 The Empire was Vlach not Wallacho-Bulgar. The Empire was Vlachian Empire

Bro, you were cooking. Those crazy timelines (ottoman Bulgaria and global warming) were wild.
I am so glad you enjoyed that! I personally enjoy the more goofy timelines.
Banger video! Make more videos like this, but for different nations!
Maybe Germany or the US would be interesting
egypt
Bro actually you make the video 100 times better with commentary thanks
I appreciate the feedback! I am going to continue with the commentary format.
Good stuff! Can't wait to see it!
I don't doubt you will like it.
1:16 Turkey surrenders in the War before we could take Constantinople, we WERE going to take it, but others didn't want us to.

I think Romania-Bulgaria would have been a banger in history and maybe even become an empire, which could have potentially lived up to this day. As a Romanian, I would have approved a union between Romania and Bulgaria
It would have been better for both countries
we (bulgarians and romanians) are brothers, descendants of the Thracian tribes - Mizis, Dacians, Getae, Tribals, etc.
Yes tjere was Bulgarian empire tho not a union
I love this format, although I would recommend adding timestamps
Oh yhe that's probably a good idea. Thanks !
great vid good job keep up the good work

Sultan Musk please no take my son 😢
I'm also from Bulgaria and had two channels dedicated to making alternative history one was ebazel and the other tatar khan
What happened to the channels?
Bulgarians are ready for 2nd of June (I know it cuz I'm bulgarian)
You just earned a subscriber. Amazing video, keep at it!!!
Welcome aboard!

2:55 this looks similar to the Vlaho-Bulgar Tsardom/ 2nd Bulgarian Empire
Well it is basically that but with a different dynasty.
if u make this a series i will watch you, music is a bit too loud and distracting so play around with it a bit
I do have plans for making these types of videos a series but I am not sure if I should keep the commentary. I was playing around a lot with the music volume because its hard to know if it's too loud when you are editing, so thanks for the feedback!

Really cool video, what would the 3rd Rome be in the "4th Rome" timeline?🤔
Depends on who you ask the Russians say it's themselves and the west says it the HRE.

Yo yes please do other videos like this
This video was great !
Thank you very much!
@@Porphyrios.History You're welcome
What nation on region should I make a video on next?
Lithuania would be interesting.
You can also take a look of the idea of United states of Osterreich.

It does sound intriguing.I will look into it but in the near future I will be moving to other nations. I don't want to cover just Bulgaria.
@@Porphyrios.History Alright... Looking into the other vids I guess
Very cool video
Thank you!
Make more of these. Do a United Kingdom one
I Will!
By the way the title of tzar,wich originates from 9th century bulgaria,is equal to emperor and is slavic word for caesar
