i have no clue what you are talking about, my videos always 100% reflect the power of the church
@@Videntis.Historyneed a part 2
That was interesting
Alternative history/reality vids like yours is more facilitating than what actually took place a century ago 😂
“Instead of listening to any of the valid complaints of the revolutionaries: Germany, known for its totally chill and reasonable response to political turmoil, decided the best way to fix things was… more monarchy”
Peak writing. You get my like, sir
Honestly, would've been better than the Weimar
Agreed. Weimar Republic was like the thunder dome.😅
are you saying Socialists and Nazis have valid complaints??
@@krisp1871 to some degree. yes. but most of it is literally just a power grab
@@Themrine2013 where there's smoke, there's fire, but nazis and socialists are revolutionary fanatics
This so needs a part two with a WW2 between The Anglo-German-Habsburg alliance vs Commitern.
Epic
Please, I need to see the third part of Italy-Spain restoring the Roman Empire 🥺🥺
Same i need it,
I see greece going fascist in that timeline, they got screwed over badly
Not possible, the last remnants of the Roman empire (the HRE) dissolved in 1806, but it had been defunct long before that.
To restore the Roman empire, we need to change the outcome of the 30 year war (1618-1648) that ended up neutering the HRE.
We need to have a convincing Catholic League victory, leading to all Protestant princes being forced to convert or abdicate.
Sweden, Denmark-Norway and the Dutch Republic would be isolated from imperial affair while France becomes a new intricate part of the empire, France is key so lets say that the king of France are offered the imperial crown.
Honestly, I'd say the German Monarchy surviving The Great War would've actually been a very good thing;
Germany wouldn't have lost as much as it did (pride especially) in our own timeline, and means the Weimar Republic doesn't rise to power in this scenario either, which was its own mistake of an administration. Which then means the National Socialist Party we all know doesn't end up taking power in the same light either.
Churchill actually thought removing the Kaiser from power was a mistake. Of course, America thought it was all good... but, the Weimar Republic proved to be a failure, go figure 😅
Here's hoping for the restoration of Monarchy someday. And not just for Germany either
I agree on the concept of monarchism being supreme, but if you are talking about Germany not losing stuff because of kaisers remaining on throne, it is a wish full thinking, Germany would loose the same amount of Land and recieve the same sanctions, only difference being that there would be a central figure to rally behind or against, depending on his leadership skills, but I think Germany would be more stable then still, just more mopping up Socialists and very uneasy peace with democrats
Just like the maintenance of the Italian monarchy kept fascists from taking power over there!
Thanks For this videntis! Love your vídeos ❤❤❤❤
Glad you like them!
@@Videntis.Historywhat happened to the premiere
PLEASE MAKE A PART 2 this is to good
@@Videntis.History make a part 2 Please
I love this video style where he just goes straight into it without any of the real life context. Just makes it feels so much more fast and easier to watch.
Let me know if you liked the new video style, i'm trying to make it more engaging
This video is great
Can we get a vid about the Jacobites in Ireland and Scotland plz
@ShaunGuyton-er6qc no one’s finished the video yet
Yes I like
I loved it. Great work once again Videntis ❤
I love the new video style!
Amazing video as always! ~ I love the new style you've incorporated and can't wait to see more :D
P.S. What maps are you using for your video???
i make them myself
another Monarchist Germany peak from Videntis
Great video! love the new style and can't wait for a part 2
He was forced to abdicate even before the war was officially lost, I really doubt there's ANY way for him to keep power after Germany gets as humiliated as it was by the versailles. Nonetheless a super fun scenario, I love how you make these pretty unrealistic but fun scenarios totally flat-faced and seriously.
when you described thorez i actually imagined that scarred and deformed speech palpatine did, great reference😂
Great video
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!
Make what if India ( with Pakistan Bangladesh and Myanmar) became British dominion in 1929.
Part 2 immediately,this is fantastic
Love the edits

song in intro: Die Grenzwald Hielt im Osten
song starting 3:22: Freikorps Voran
song around 6:00: not sure, has the rhythm of Lied der Legion Condor or SS marschiert in Feindesland (Teufelslied)
song around 9:00: Wo alle Strassen Enden
i dont know whats at 13:26
song at 15:29: Die Eisenfaust am Lanzenschaft
song at 18:28: Fuer Deutschland Kamerad
Why does every Videntis video start as reasonable and then quickly devolves into an acid trip?
Not an acid trip dingus, a hoi4 ahistorical game. He's a hoi gamer who got into alt-history is my guess

The Comintern seeing Britain join the Central Powers and suddenly see a LOT of colonies coming to fight them: ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️
I loved the jokes and straight up hilarious script lol
Edit: we need a part 2!
I have an alternate history idea, what if Germany kept the territories given by Brest-Litovsk?
If they had tried the Entente would have invaded Germany. There would have been a much harder peace, because the war took longer and cost more lives.
a perfect video as alway, Lele21
@@LéoBAKIR-p5l damn forgot I have commented with the wrong account
I have an idea for a video. James II (The Jacobites) due to being catholics stay being king of Ireland, this could be a interesting one since the Jacobites connect to the Bavarian royal family
honestly Central Powers Would win because they have a lot more support and comintern is far more unstable.
Would love a part 2 lol
it a good video it so so good
Pls part 2 with both endings I really like this scenario
Please make part two
The Best book covering the horrors and stupidity of the first half of the 20th century I've read so far (audio book while at work) is "Churchill, Hitler, and the Unnecessary War" by Patrick Buchanan. If you haven't heard of it yet, I recommend it.
The videos length is 19 minutes and 18seconds, which coincidentally makes the number “1918”. I bet this isn’t a coincidence, am I right?
it was a coincidence, but its cool nonetheless
also idea: what if austria hungary and german empire united as one empire under a diarchy between the two kaisers
My man, we’re in real need of “what if Serbia saved Constantinople part 2”!!!
P.S: I also love that you’re mixing universes with the Poland video 🙂↕️🔥
I would love a part 2 where there’s no winners
i think what could happend is that since britan will ally to germany they could restore the old titles of england that were taken from them for the great war and became a good family again
I need the second part NOW
Oye gracias por la traducción en español ❤
What's the news about the 3rd part of the recent United States of Poland series?
PS. Superb video as always
WE WANT PART 2 NOW!!!!!
How glorious Kaiser is he.
Make a part 2
Man what greatness it would be to see a video on “what if everything went perfect for Russia” seeing how much they were advancing and progressing towards what could have been very assuredly a Russian 20th century, I think they deserve that what-if. Tsarist Orthodox constitutional monarchy, maybe?
I'll make a guess for WW2:
Great Britain will of course ally to the Central powers, joined tentatively by Greece and Turkey, will Benelux claim neutrality. War begins for whatever reason as you said, wether the Tyrol or perceived breach of treaties made when Germany remilitarized the Rhine. But as both sides are willing for the war, no one is caught unguarded and the combats quickly evolve into a grind along the borders. Communists will launch an invasion of Belgium and Luxembourg, forcing Benelux into the war on the side of the Central Powers, now renamed the Coalition of Crowns.
Central powers will have a hard time resisting, being on the backfoot from day one. However, you can trust Great Britain to mess with France in the colonies, probably going for the liberation of the places where the political opposants are held. Also British navy would help secure trading lines with Germany, and while the western Mediterranean seems incredibly hard to hold on, it'd be different for its Eastern Counterpart. Turkish, Greek and British forces would quickly seize Syria and Lebanon from France and organize defenses in Egypt to protect the Suez Canal.
Djibouti and the Italian Horn of Africa woudl similarly fall quickly while Indian and Japanese forces take Indochina. Since the Japanese are now allied to the other monarchies, the taking of Indochina doesn't really provide cause for the USA to impose sanctions on them, who'd rather fight the commies. However, the Americans would have a hard time entering the war without Pearl Harbor. On the contrary, the European Monarchies could push the Japanese to negotiate with the Chinese Nationalists so they can focus on the communists and the soviets.
In this timeline, the Crowns would try to hold against the Soviets, seeing its vast lands as really hard to conquer, especially through winter, while campaigns in Italy, Iberia and France would be more feasible considering past occurences. Moreover, the liberation of French Conservatives from sized colonies could help bolster internal struggles for France. Finally, the real deciding factor for this conflict would be the completion by German Scientists of Project Gotterdämerrung. I coudl see the A Bomb being used on the soviets, as the invasion of the entirety of Russia would be deemed unrealistic, while the massive destruction would help shatter logistic lines. On the same day, the Luftwaffe would conduct three nuclear bombardments, shocking the communist world not only because of the power displayed by the bombs, but also the proof that they can be deployed at several instances simultaneously.
Communist powers may not surrender immeditely, but further bombardments on key positions for logistic, and the addition of sirens similar to the stukas would create rumors from the survivors. The playing of the sirens anywhere else would lead to chaos and fear, the whole frontline collapsing from the terror the Bomb would command. The western nations of the Cominterm would collapse and surrender. Stalin may believe he can still hodl thank to the winter and the sheer size of the nation, but repeated bombardment, first on military and then civilian target would push to an assassination attempt, leading to chaos and a second Russian Civil War, leaving the country ripe for the conquest.
Ashes would fall on a world where the USA did not fully commit to war, but economically benefitted from it. Europe would be scarred from the battle and let's say two dozen nuclear bombardment. As Germany retake many French Colonies and monarchies are restored throughout Europe, an uneasy feeling would settle over the world. American Republics may band together, fearing the hegemony of European Imperialists, which are quick to reorganize the continent under a loose Confederacy dubbed the Pan European Empire (pun intended). A new cold war is about to start ...
grecce is comunist, so they wouldn't join the central powers...
6:58 I might sound stupid for this, but why would this humiliate Italy when Gabrielle d'Annuzio did it independently without support from the Italian government?
shh, trust
@@Videntis.History Oh, I thought there was a reason mb
Finally three empires - German, Austro-Hungarian and Polish-Litchuanian stand against the World (with Romania, Yougoslavia and Bulgaria at their side, and potentially Finland and Turkey)
More memes. I havent laughed like this in a while

Wilhelm II would have abdicated for his oldest grandson: Wilhelm - not for his 4th son August Wilhelm
Please do a scenario in where everything went perfectly for Russia
This should become a Hoi4 mod
Lavader ahh scenario😭💀💀
lavabro would be proud
Please make part two where like the Ottomans come back?
Great scenario
what companies think men want vs what men actually want:

Still waiting for italo-Spanish union part 3
WHAT IF HORTHY DECLARED HIMSELF KING AND MARRIED INTO THE HAPSBURGS?!?
Reds in France--- I would really like to see how an organization that condemns imperialism reconciles imperialism in Africa and Southeast Asia. What? Politics is the never-ending quest to justify double standards.
Give me part two, now!!!
You forgot to color syria red
I do not know if August William ever get to spend time with the workers like his father or not but at least in the aftermath of the Marxist rebellions, he might make sure it will not happened again by making sure the demands of the working-class peoples are met one way or another.
Also, I think Yugoslavia will be facing a lot of resistance from Bosnia and Croatia because they are still loyal to the House of Habsburg even after the Great War. But since they have no relations to the Marxist nations, what will happened between the rebirthed Austria-Hungary and Yugoslavia will be just the local war between both sides if Yugoslavia is being "super unhappy" if Croatia and Bosnia secede from Yugoslavia and rejoin Austria-Hungary, of course.
And in case of Japan, I believed they will be on the side of the New Central Powers if another global war broke out. And in this scenario, they most likely will attack the Soviet Union with the pretext of restoring the Tsar's government if even one member of the House of Romanov, the in-laws included, somehow escaped to Japan. But in reality, Japan simply wanted the secret agreements between themselves and Russia to be restored so they can legally carved up China and to regain the alliance with Russia.
By the way, is the Ottoman Empire still a thing or not in this timeline because you mentioned only that Hellas lost the war with the Turks but said nothing they became constitional monarchy with Mustafa Kamal became the Grand Vizier that is the Head of Government or not.
Why the French and the Italian governments did not escape their homelands to elsewhere after they lost against their own Communist Revolutions? I can see the previous French government escaped to Algeria while the Italian government escaped to Sardinia when they lost the fights against the Marxist rebels in their countries.
But who will win if another war break out for real between the New Central Powers and the Communist Allied Forces? Personally, I believed it will be the Central Powers, especially if the United Kingdom, Portugal and the United States are on their side. But if it's just the United Kingdom and Portugal, then there is still the possibility for them to win because there is no way Britain and Portugal will stand by and do nothing as such an ideology being spread.
Now that I have said what I wanted to say, please do part 2 of this!
I help videntis to avoid any attempts of a political dissension inside of France and Italy
@@erangon66bakirleo60 You mean you helped write this scenario?
@@lerneanlion and for Japan the question would be more complicated than just a direct attack against the ussr
@@lerneanlion yeah I wrote the rise to power of the communist in France and Italy, for the video, everything isn't represented about the lore of the scenarios
@ Well, I simply wanted to point out that if Japan is preoccupied with the plan that operated on legally seizing territories in China by restoring the secret agreements they had with Tsarist Russia, there will be no attacks on the United States anytime soon. And I think the U.S will be okay wih that and so does The Netherlands, who happened to be ruling The Philippines and Indonesia respectively at that moment.

I feel like in this scenario Central Powers would win World War II. Germany would have hard time on the western front because they would need to hold off combine forces of France and Spain. So I expect Germany to loose some ground but not allow enemy to dug deep into German land.
On the southern front I believe that combine forces of Austria, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia would be to much for Greece and Italy to make any real dent in the frontlines. Only way I see them gaining any real victory would be only if Turkey would join the communists in exchange for promises for their old territories in the Balkans. Tempting but I don’t really see that happening.
In the east I believe that Poland, with Baltic State and Romania would be able to hold on Russia or at least slow them down dealing a lot of damage to the Red Army. We know from our universe that Poland spend almost all Interwar period preparing for the next war with Russia, creating forces and strategies to counter the Red Army style of fighting. And in this scenario, Poland has more land between the border and Warsaw + the help from two other countries with potential help from Germany. So I see this front as more or less clear victory for the Central Powers.
better world
Woohoo! AUSTRIAHUNGARY IS BACK BABEEEEEEEEE!
