I like the video,don't take me wrong...but your premise is wrong from the start because ultimatum was mostly accepted,save for 1 demand Serbia was willing to negotiate about. The truth is,Austria would have started the attack on Serbia anyways. I say Austria because Hungary didn't want the war and only agreed after Austrians promised not to annex a foot of Serbia after the war
@@rewriting-historyActually, it is not alternative, it is what happened basicly. Serbia did everything to prevent the war, just like it did when accepted Austrian anexion of Bosnia and Hercegovina
In case someone is not aware of some history facts. 1. Serbia actually accepted the ultimatum! It did not reject, it just asked for clarification for the 6th point, and it offers a Court in Hague as a mediatory to help with the clarification (after consultancy with France and Russia how to avoid the war, as it just came after two Balkan wars with a lot of casualties, it wasn't realistic to fight someone 15times larger than you). 2. As a matter a fact, K&K (AH) at first accepted the response! A trivia: Serbia's intelligence informed Austro-Hungarian intelligence just before the assassination that they have information about the assassination plot (*another complexity is that the assassination was plotted by an organization called "The Black Hand", a very dangerous organization that the King of Serbia could not have control of, since they already killed a previous King of Serbia, Aleksandar Obrenovic. Another fun fact is that the King of Serbia Petar Karadjordjevic then had a parallel counterintelligence called "The White Hand". Go figure.) Austrian intelligence disregarded those treats about the potential assassination of Duke Franz Ferdinand (later confirmed to be truthful), as an insult to their superior intelligence service. 3.Just after the Germans intervened Austro-Hungary declared the war! Cheers! ps. now 100+ years after the Great War we have amazingly good Dumpling Shop called "Ferdinand" in a street called by his assassin Princip in Belgrade. Very droll.
Austria-Hungary: We’ve got a list of demands we need you to accept. Serbia: Ok, done. What now? Austria-Hungary: I don't know, I never thought I'd get this far
Britain never guaranteed Belgium they just had the right to intervene if they were invaded if they thought it was in their interests to do so. However they weren’t obliged to do so
@@rewriting-history yes but when teaching history it’s important not to be inaccurate with phrases since many people don’t look into specifics and get a warped perspective. For small details like this it’s not that important but for larger details people can build systems ideas or constructs based off of misleading data. So it’s just better to aim for accuracy
Loving the new style where we have military officers, monarchs, peasants etc talk, it really helps bring more life to the video haha Great video as always!
It is not a well known historical fact that Serbia did accept Austrian ultimatum. A grand son of one of Serbia's politician who was present at the moment of writing the response from Serbian delegation notes. Response from Austrians was that it is too late and that the call to go to war has already been made. After the war a part of propaganda was made that the ultimatum was not accepted.
I heard that the serbians basically said that the request for giving austia-hungary judicial oversight was something that they had to ask the Justice department about, which the austrians took as a rejection
This is a very interesting way to do alternate history, I wasn’t sure how the oversimplified part would go into but it is awesome! Keep up the great work!
It did not happen like that. Serbia was issued an ultimatum by AH and urged by Russia and France to accept it, which it did, in totality, including the sixth point you claimed they didn't accept, but they did. And in accordance with Russian and French suggestions, they asked for Russian, French, British and German prosecutors to be included along with the AH prosecutors in finding and prosecuting the perpetrators of the assassination. German Kaiser was pleased with the Serbian response and went on a vacation in the Baltics where he was unpleasantly surprised by the news that the AH has decided not to accept the Serbian response and declare war. This prompted the chain of events that lead to WWI.
Serbia didn't accept clause 6, stated reason was that it would violate the constitution. Serbia did however say that it was willing to cooperate on it further if AH was unhappy with the response but AH just declared war.
@@teamacio9043 Serbia accepted all of the terms and asked for the clause 6 to be amended to extend to some further nations other than AH. That's my final answer and whatever you write I'll just copy this again.
@@radunMARSHAL You are wrong, Serbia rejected article 6. Here is the official repose from 1914: wp.stu.ca/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2015/08/Serbian-Reponse-to-Austro-Hungarian-Ultimatum.pdf
As a serb who was a fan of you when you were making the monaco forms france videos. I can agree the quality of your videos is much better now. Especially in this video.
Really fun watch. PROS: No hatred, minimal biases, intellectual what-if scenarios CONS: No mention of central bankers, the "Money Power", and the effect of the time period (1900-1920) post British World Empire, with still dozens of remnant major UK secret societies still influencing elections and events worldwide
It still baffles me that people put blame on Germany for giving a blank cheque, like sure, it gave them the confidence to pursue war, but ultimately it was their decisions to do it, not Germanies. That is like blaming the husband for giving his wife his credit card, when she was the one that spends all the money on it within a week. Like sure it might have not been a great Idea, but he is not at fault for her decisions with the card.
@@VojislavMoranic Unless the wife is known for buying Anthrax whenever she gets the card it is still not the Husbands job to check everything she buys, nor his fault when she buys the wrong thing. she is a adult and responsible for her own actions, not some infant.
I do really like this style of video aswell and i think this channel will blow up to potentially 500K subs in a year or two from now, maybe even months from now
Fun fact: In reality, Kingdom of Serbia did actually accept the ultimatum, but A-H monarchy did not care. Mr. Stojan Protić wrote the answer to Vienna. His great grandson Milan St. Protić is a historian in Serbia and he told this story in 2017.
the Germans weren't exactly rearing for war. Wilhelm might have been short sighted, but he and many other Germans were looking to avoid a complete implosion. He wrote a letter to Tsar Nicolas trying to de-escalate after he returned to his palace. The blank check was only given because he was on vacation and didn't have all the info yet.
I watch your videos for a couple of weeks now and I thought you had 100k+ subs. I´m surprised you got so few. Your videos are really really good, keep it up man
The problem was that the Austrian government never wanted to accept any answer. Also, don't forget that Konrad von Hoetzendorf asked over 20 times for War with Serbia years before the assassination.
Most of the people does not even know for that fact. They were told that the only reason for WW1 was Sarajevo murder. Sadly, they were told so by many so called Historinas truing to rewrite History.
I think the dialogue scenes were cool, but the ones that didn't use AI were way better then the ones that did, for example 0:39 compared to 2:10, the first one is definitely better. Overall tho this was one of your best videos.
Well, the other alternative is that i spend a lot of time drawing these characters, only for them to appear in 5 seconds of the video. This is the best I can do as with the resources that I have right now
The problem with your new history of WWI, is that the Shlieffen PLan was based on a weaker Russia needing more time to mobilize. Since Russia is alot stronger in this Scenario, I believe Germany would maintain a defensvie posture in the west along the shorter border. Therefore the majority of German forces would strike against Russia trying to defeat the Russians before they can mobilize their industry for war. With no invasion of Belguim, Britain stays neutral for now. Without war with Britain, there'd be no blockade so that Germany could import the materials they need from America. And they would have good relations as they did historically until unrestricted submariine warfare turned American opinion against the Germans. Without British active support the Allies can't stop Germany. The French fleet isn't strong enough to blockade the Central Powers.
Sorry for spoiling all the fun but Serbia accepted Austro-Hungarian ultimatum. Serbia accepted everything. Austro-Hungary only needed an excuse to attack Serbia. Ultimatum in 1914. was the fourth Austro-Hungarian ultimatum since 1908. Serbia accepted all of them. In 1914. Serbia was exhausted from the Balkan wars (1912-1913). All politicians and intellectuals talked about 30-50 years period of peace that is needed for Serbia to recover from that. That's the reason why Austro-Hungary decided to strike even if Serbia accepted everything in the ultimatum.
Heres a suggestion for the next video: What if the Christmas Uprising (1919) was a succsess. Pretty much this would result in Yugoslavia never to be formed, and maybe it would even result in a war between Montenegro, Croatia and Serbia.
Whether realistic or unrealistic, whichever scenerio happens, this guy never let the German empire on winning/advantageous side. What if the German empire was ruled by a more competent Kaiser during the events?
@@rewriting-historyNot only this video, I was just saying in general. Whichever is the scenario, the German empire would be on the losing side in your videos. 😃
"fun"fact for you my Russian friend - many Serbs lived in Austria-Hungary and they were in fact mobilized and sent to fight against Russia. they were even sent to fight against Serbia in 1914
I love the segments with people talking lol. it makes me want an alternative history channel in the style of oversimplified and instead of saying things like “unlike in our timeline” they’d act as if the scenario is our timeline taking a inside view of the various universes. And if the internet doesn’t exist in that timeline? Then the script should be read as if it’s written on paper.
In our reality Austria when it's two invasions get defeated in Serbia: huh? That wasn't suposed to happen, Germany get your a$$ here In alternative reality: geramny help Ahh some things never change
Serbia had accepted all terms of the ultimatum except one, which was damaging to its sovereignty. The ultimatum was written in such a way, knowingly, that Serbia would reject it. The Ambassador of Austria-Hungary to Belgrade left the country even before the ultimatum had been handed over. This means... Austria-Hungary had known of the outcome in advance, and it had been planning to attack Serbia, regardless. Even if there were no assassination in Sarajevo on Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sofia, it would have found another justification to attack. Proof of this are the events before the assassination - the so-called pig wars, the annexation of Bosnia - knowing that this would greatly upset Serbs, etc. I think WW 1 was unavoidable.
Sorry but I had to stop right in the first ten seconds because this misconceptions really annoys me - The Great War couldn't be avoided, just postponed until something else triggers it. Ever since the unification of Germany into the German Empire, multiple cracking points began to show in the Great Compromise (Congress of Vienna) and the fragile peace of Metternich. New weaponry, German inferiority in colonial possessions and aspirations of Austria-Hungary to be more then just a regional player and have colonies of its own mixed with growing hostility of already established imperial powers towards the new players is what ultimately led to it happening, assassination of archduke that not even his family loved was a convenient thing for Austria-Hungary to expend in the Balkans, which could've been local conflict if Austria-Hungary didn't pulled Germany into it and if Russian Empire had fallen into a revolution few years earlier.
10:00 I think the Entente would do this, but wouldn't promise Montenegro. Montenegro is an independent kingdom at this point, and except if the king of Montenegro isn't brought into the conference, and if he lets them do it, Entente won't be promising Montenegro.
Another big difference would be all of Ireland remaining in the UK to this day as the Home Rule Bill would have been implemented on time. Also with Germany’s much sooner defeat in the west conscription would never have been implemented in Ireland, which is why Sinn Féin gained so much support during the 1910’s.
Hi rewriting history,I am italian ,love your content ,love from italy♥️🇮🇹,i know you are bulgarian and that you hate bulgarian nationalism, but for curiosity, what do you thinck about about a possible peaceful union between the two countries of bulgaria and north macedonia in the future because of language similarities ,do you thinck it could happen?
I love Italy, will visit the far-north this september. A union between the two countries would be cool and make sure we prosper in the region, not die divided, but our politicians hate each other over 5 key issues, but we have 95% similarities. It's a shame we cannot have better relations...
Not very realistic. If Serbia would accepted, Italy would Focus to the Ottoman Empire to Break their Support for the Partisanen in Libyia. Russia would Ally with Italia forfilling the old Dreams of conquoring Istanbul.
Personally I don’t think the British would join the French because they didn’t really care about Belgium they would probably prefer to just meditate a peace even if they technically guaranteed Belgium mostly because the odds are already stacked against Germany and the only thing the brits wanted was no side becoming more powerful than the other on Europe so join a war that is already in France favour doesn’t seem like something they would do
Didn't Serbia accept everything, but one or two minor and unimportant points? They've could even surrender unconditional and offer to join the Empire, to no avail... the Old Man from Vienna just wanted his revenge and blood anyway!!!
As a serb, i have to admit without help of allies we could hold out for like maybe max year or 2 then we would simply ran out of resourses and menpower
As a Hungarian, this is the most JUST division of A-H I have ever seen, I wish it was like this, then we would have these conflicts as today. Mainly due to the greed....
Surely the next event that would be a candidate for sparking WWI would be the delivery of the Reşadiye and Sultan Osman (OTL HMSes Erin and Agincourt) to the Ottoman Empire from Britain in late 1914, which would have given the Ottomans naval supremacy in the Aegean (instead of Greece) and would have allowed them to start a Third Balkan War.
5:40 "The future of Serbia is not looking to bright:" You don't say. Is it not bad enough this way? There is no way that we would still be existing today if this scenario happened
@@rewriting-history just watched it. i think that your newer videos are much more polished, however i find the overlays on the map in your first video charming. i feel like your current videos are somewhat bland with their flat, textureless map.
The allies just, did not give Italy what they wanted. Which lead to an angry population, which then led to a dictator. The allies did not actually honor most claims of land to the people that they claimed were "Minor powers" in the great war.
As a Serb I must say this is very interesting scenario, but I think we wouldn't create Yugoslavia. Serbia will for sure expand on Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Southern part of Dalmatia (Dubrownik) probably getting Skhöder from Albania because Antante want to satisfy us after losing half of Macedonia and for sure Srem and bit of Banat will be ours because of serbian majority there. Croatia and Slovenia will be independent or maybe create a federal state together. Maybe this would be better case
You forgot that Britain joined the war on the side of the entente because of the Belgians but their relations with Germany were growing closer because Germany stopped their naval army expansion and the British would probably be scared of an industrialised Russia bcs they were rivals and the British didnt want a powerful Russia. But thats just my opinion
Last night I was talking about the Cold War to my little brother and forgot that Bulgaria was named Bulgaria and called it Moldova I’m very sorry and I relised it when I was trying to sleep

Ever since the unification of Germany into the German Empire, multiple cracking points began to show in the Great Compromise (Congress of Vienna) and the fragile peace of Metternich. New weaponry, German inferiority in colonial possessions and aspirations of Austria-Hungary to be more then just a regional player and have colonies of its own mixed with growing hostility of already established imperial powers towards the new players is what ultimately led to it happening, assassination of archduke that not even his family loved was a convenient thing for Austria-Hungary to expend in the Balkans, which could've been local conflict if Austria-Hungary didn't pulled Germany into it and if Russian Empire had fallen into a revolution few years earlier.
10:00 I think the Entente would do this, but wouldn't promise Montenegro. Montenegro is an independent kingdom at this point, and except if the king of Montenegro isn't brought into the conference, and if he lets them do it, Entente won't be promising Montenegro.
Yeah you're right, it makes more sense now that I read it out
@@rewriting-historyWow that was a quick reply👍
How do you have so many random coins That Scenario was really fun lol
I'm a coin collector, so I have 600+ unique coins, this is just a very small portion of it.
Wow I’m a hobby coin collector as well but I’ve got 70 maximum
Another big difference would be all of Ireland remaining in the UK to this day as the Home Rule Bill would have been implemented on time. Also with Germany’s much sooner defeat in the west conscription would never have been implemented in Ireland, which is why Sinn Féin gained so much support during the 1910’s.
Hi rewriting history,I am italian ,love your content ,love from italy♥️🇮🇹,i know you are bulgarian and that you hate bulgarian nationalism, but for curiosity, what do you thinck about about a possible peaceful union between the two countries of bulgaria and north macedonia in the future because of language similarities ,do you thinck it could happen?
I love Italy, will visit the far-north this september. A union between the two countries would be cool and make sure we prosper in the region, not die divided, but our politicians hate each other over 5 key issues, but we have 95% similarities. It's a shame we cannot have better relations...
good video!
Glad you liked it!
Special thanks to Jed from the RH discord
Serbia: Accepts the ultimatum
Conrad Von Hötzendorf: Well We Dun Goofed Up...
Nice video
Glad that you liked it!
Not very realistic. If Serbia would accepted, Italy would Focus to the Ottoman Empire to Break their Support for the Partisanen in Libyia. Russia would Ally with Italia forfilling the old Dreams of conquoring Istanbul.
I love when you show-off your historical coins lol. They are very cool!
Glad you like them!
7:49 I did not expect that 😳
I hope you had a good laugh there
1:17 they didn't reject it as much as asked it to be reviewed by the Hague. Europe saw this as reasonable, Austria-Hungary did not
Personally I don’t think the British would join the French because they didn’t really care about Belgium they would probably prefer to just meditate a peace even if they technically guaranteed Belgium mostly because the odds are already stacked against Germany and the only thing the brits wanted was no side becoming more powerful than the other on Europe so join a war that is already in France favour doesn’t seem like something they would do
great editing
Didn't Serbia accept everything, but one or two minor and unimportant points?
They've could even surrender unconditional and offer to join the Empire, to no avail... the Old Man from Vienna just wanted his revenge and blood anyway!!!
But I did say in the video that they accepted 9/10 proposals and were willing to nagotiate.
As a serb, i have to admit without help of allies we could hold out for like maybe max year or 2 then we would simply ran out of resourses and menpower
As a Hungarian, this is the most JUST division of A-H I have ever seen, I wish it was like this, then we would have these conflicts as today. Mainly due to the greed....
As a serb from germany i asked this question my self multiple times
Surely the next event that would be a candidate for sparking WWI would be the delivery of the Reşadiye and Sultan Osman (OTL HMSes Erin and Agincourt) to the Ottoman Empire from Britain in late 1914, which would have given the Ottomans naval supremacy in the Aegean (instead of Greece) and would have allowed them to start a Third Balkan War.
Good one, it's also possible, but would still result in a similar outcome
very interesting way to look how germany and AH meeting be like
It really is!
As Serb i know why Germans don't come to tekerish
5:40 "The future of Serbia is not looking to bright:" You don't say. Is it not bad enough this way? There is no way that we would still be existing today if this scenario happened
2:50 Bro got some bars💀
serbia: *accepts terms*
austrian emperor: *well this didnt go to plan*
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
Really glad that you liked it, I loved making this scenario
what if bulgaria and romania united into one country in the 19th century
There you go, it's my first ever video: ruclips.net/video/nezyMwORg68/видео.htmlsi=MKx8LNe0j8sKi_kJ
@@rewriting-history just watched it. i think that your newer videos are much more polished, however i find the overlays on the map in your first video charming. i feel like your current videos are somewhat bland with their flat, textureless map.
A masterpiece of acting
I really appreciate that, I tried my hardest!
Babe, wake up, alt-history kaiserreich just dropped!
No way
you know it's a good video when he shows his coins
I will start buying coins again, just so I can show even more!
Erm..🤓 actually👆Romania had a treaty with the Entente that promised Transilvania
Yes, and Italy had a treaty that was supposed to give them parts of Dalmatia
The allies just, did not give Italy what they wanted. Which lead to an angry population, which then led to a dictator. The allies did not actually honor most claims of land to the people that they claimed were "Minor powers" in the great war.
As a Serb I must say this is very interesting scenario, but I think we wouldn't create Yugoslavia. Serbia will for sure expand on Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Southern part of Dalmatia (Dubrownik) probably getting Skhöder from Albania because Antante want to satisfy us after losing half of Macedonia and for sure Srem and bit of Banat will be ours because of serbian majority there. Croatia and Slovenia will be independent or maybe create a federal state together. Maybe this would be better case
You should do a video counting how many coins you have
I don't think this would interest more people than my usual content. That being said I'm considering some cool coins content
You forgot that Britain joined the war on the side of the entente because of the Belgians but their relations with Germany were growing closer because Germany stopped their naval army expansion and the British would probably be scared of an industrialised Russia bcs they were rivals and the British didnt want a powerful Russia. But thats just my opinion
Can you do what if William duddly Pelly won the 1940 presidential election
Make video about what if Belgium joined the central powers or accepted the German ultimatum
I have had this idea for centuries, so I will make a short about it first. I really like the idea
Last night I was talking about the Cold War to my little brother and forgot that Bulgaria was named Bulgaria and called it Moldova
I’m very sorry and I relised it when I was trying to sleep
Serbia accepted 9/10 demands with a proposal that international tribunal or comission of great powers decide on the only one that remained.
I love the storytelling part
Thank you very much, I will work on improving it and adding it to future videos.
0:45 oversimplified napoleonic wars reference ?
Yes!
