These series of videos are really phenomenal alternative history of "if the axis won" or what their plans were typically er on the side of the fantastical. It's refreshing to see someone do the research to see what the war goals were, what was thought up and what was possible. WW2 is a very politically and emotionally charged topic and it's rare to see someone lay out the facts in a very objective way. Even going back to centuries old actions which influenced the decision made in the war. You put everyone else who has touched on this topic to shame, keep up the great work.
Jabzy is by far the best youtuber who talks about history in detail that I have ever found as well as probably alike with his ability to keep us entertained for longer periods than the content of others
It's History Matters. His videos are short but his goes into detail. He's probably the most highly educated YT historian too. He has a masters degree from Trinity College, Cambridge University (UK). A Dutch news channel even used one of his videos on the Crimean war to explain Russian goals with the invasion of Ukraine. Plus, I find his sense of humour hilarious. I love Jabzy but History Matters is the peak tbh.

I’m curious, would italy staying out of the war have made britain peacing out more likely? If there is no African front after the fall of France, the prospect of continuing the war might seem a little pointless.
It would be cool to see what the different entente members wanted out of the treaty of versailles, or what Napoleon wanted if he won the napoleonic wars and wasn't exiled.
He wanted to unify Europe under one emperor, and accomplish the french crown objective : reconstitute the Roman Empire under french culture. Then after conquering Russia, he would have conquer India.
Their dreams of empire would be short-lived. Like how The Man in the High Castle depicted it, they would've gone to war with each other, destabilizing themselves and fomenting revolutionary movements all around the world.
That is just about exactly what my older brother said in the 1970s a couple of times relating to TV fare about the War. " They wouldn't have held the world for ten minutes. There would have been revolutions and counter-revolutions. ". Even in this upload there is all these variant contentions around what everyone might or might not want.
They would have held it for years, but ultimately your brother was right. Hitler ironically wanted resistance groups and partisan bands, as long as they were controlled. He thought it would keep his military and police on alert 🚨 and keep the general population militaristic. The natural human inclination is to peace ☮️, quiet, and order. It would have taken a long time for resistance groups to gain support. More likely the Axis powers would have gone to war against each other first.
Depends. If they took over Western Russia, to the Urals, Germany could be pretty stable. The problem is, who has power after the Nazi ideology fades. Likely a civil war, even in Hitler’s lifetime. The Russian Reich, would want independence, Western Europe would look down profusely on heartland Germany. And Germany would spend an eternal war, trying to control Europe. Inevitably, it will end in Germany losing. A bunch of radicals being swept away by the tides of history like so many others.
Only reason Brazil joined the allies was due to a steel industry. Hitler said "Hey, we can give you a steel industry AFTER the war", but USA said "We can give you a steel industry RIGHT NOW", so naturally we joined the allies. There was also a couple incidents of brazilian cargo ships being blown up by Germans, but hey. Also, Integralists did not wear black shirts, they wore olive green shirts. It's interesting to note that the Sigma symbol of integralism represents the mathematical "somatory" symbol, therefore representing union. The salute and "hail" were a tad bit different from Germans or Italians, they would raise their hand up like in a "stop!" motion, and yell "Anauê" which meant something like "Hail" or "Hello" from indiginous language.
That doesn't tell the whole story, the war effort improved ports, modern airfields, railroads, stimulated manufacturing, agriculture and mining. Also their current standing army/ air force really had no experience this was a huge opportunity on the main stage ;)
This series was absolutely fantastic and I enjoyed watching the crazy ideas the axis empires had in mind. Hopefully you would make a series similar to this but for possibly medieval empires in certain wars or under the rule of ambitious leaders
Women and religion..... then greed and conquest, then as in the british empires cowardly case, conquest and taking of other peoples land to save their own cowardly asses resulting in the deaths of many many american soilders who needent of died.. Research "The Balfore Agreement" to learn why... Then go and learn about the people whos relidgion thinks its a race, and that you all harbour and worship that much, thinks about children and you. You're after "The Babalonian Talmud" (not the normal one as there are 2 or even more? talmuds)....... I think those 2 subjects will open your eyes allittle more then they have been....... Welcome to the "blue pill" of your life.
1:57:0 Finns weren't forced to accept Friedrich Karl of Hessen as their king. Finns specifically requested candidates from Germany to be their king. First they asked for Prince Oskar, but after the Kaiser rejected, Finns asked for Friedrich Karl. It was the Finns that wanted a German king, the germans didn't ask for it.
3:43:30 - Australia divided up between Italy and Germany. The Italians get the Northern Territory, Queensland, and New South Wales. The Germans get Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria, and Tasmania. The Aborigines get most of the place back in that scenario because the Germans were interested in pan-Germanism in Europe and the territorial consolidation of a single Reich and not going back to any sort of colonial policy. And the Italians pre-occupied with a Roman Empire around the Mediterranean. So you'd have had a Mad Max environment in Australia of white Australian ockers clandestinely hiding in bushes and behind rocks whispering, " Look, over there. The Luigis and the Fritzes mining for cobalt. ". You have the collapse of British administration and the elimination of Westminster.
I knew much of the background history, but I really appreciated you filling in all the gaps in my knowledge, instead of just jumping straight to WWII. The map work was excellent; again, I knew where most of these countries were located, but it was good to see them in relationship to each other.
Napoleon had ambitions to form and empire in many places: Americas, Middle East and Europe. He went for Europe as it was the most feasible option considering everyone wanted to fight him there
Norway gaining Kola peninsula is unrealistic. Hitler on purpose did not allow Norwegian SS troops to fight in Finland in order to prevent any claims by the Norwegians on the Kola peninsula.
@@zed3443they always say he was but looking at this Video with the help of Germany he wasn’t that Crazy he nearly Made it. Not the Roman Empire of course but a big sphere of influence
@mercurio7424 what Language is this? Learn english before Making fun of people. And no he didn’t come Close to the Romans since they conquered Egypt, all The Balkans, Turkey, England, France, Spain, Portugal… Mussolini only got Albania Greeece Lybia and Ethiopia. Compared to the Roman territories a total joke.
If Spain had joined the war early possibly in 1941, Portugal would have most likely sided with the Axis in the case of a British defeat as well. It's hard to say what the borders of Africa would look like after an alternate WWII but I'm pretty sure that anyway it ends Portugal would still keep her colonies in Africa. I highly doubt Hitler would approve of taking the Portuguese colonies of either Angola or Mozambique. I believe if the Axis won that Portugal would have kept her colonies and annexed the modern nations of Malawi and Zambia to connect them as was the original agreement of the Berlin treaty which Britain violated.
Or Portugal annexes all of Africa according to the treaty of Tordesillas 💀... which they actually tried to do in the 1884 Berlin conference after their ambassador got upset after the other powers rejected the pink map.
Actualy Portugal and Spain had a Non Agression pact signed to stay out ofvthe war, cuz Portugal would be siding with the Allies and Spain with the Axis and the Allies didn't want Spain in the war. Salazar (the portuguese dictator) disliked Mussolini because he belived Mussolini was leaning to paganism, and he disdained tha Nazis because they were definetly pagans and he thought the nazis were nothing but thugs. Besides that there is the Windsor treaty sign with England in the XIV century that mafe Portugal and England BFFs, fun fact that treaty is still active.
So detailed historical video, kudos for your 4+ hour struggle. Incredible! Adding small points. The movie portrays Japan as having consistently aimed to dominate Asia since Meiji era, and in fact there were always people out of power with such dreams. But as Jabzy also pointed out JP govt actually hadn't any master plans, just been fighting enemies it faced at each time. For ex although Tokyo's propaganda most of emmigrants simply had crossed the ocean to survive not to watch US, even in the Mukden Incident cabinet debated to punish IJA (nothing good happened because the Army's independence threatened govt). Only then did IJA/N take direct control of grand pictures
Wow, over 4 hours, but interesting enough of a topic to watch the whole thing! To get the discussion going as we all watch, how possible, if at all, was an Axis victory? At what moment was the war definitively lost?
I´d say the war was lost when Germany invaded the Soviet Union. Perhaps a white peace would have been possible with Britain after a few years of fighting.
@@HistoryandHeadlines Italy perhaps longer but Germany's economy was in a debt spiral as the government re-armed. They planned to fund themselves with war gains (ie foreign gold reserves and confiscated property of certain population groups). They would have faced rebellion as soon as that bubble burst. And if they hadn't rearmed, been peaceful, sought good trade relations with the british and french? Then it wouldn't have been a nationalsocialistic dictatorship.
The piece that's missing in your account of Nazi racial theory, what makes some of their judgments confusing and contradictory, is that they developed an alternative theory of master races vs. slave races that partly displaced Aryanism. This is how the Japanese got declared "honorary Aryans". But it went much further than that. I was startled to learn a few years ago that during the campaign for North Africa, the SS recruited black African volunteers on the theory that membership in certain tribes that the Germans considered exceptionally vigorous and warlike implied "master race" status.
Germany also had ties to certain Arab communities and countries like Iraq, Iran and others. They were united in their opposition against French and British. And obviously hating Jews. Hitler and other people from his circle both praised islam for it's militaristic approach, but also looked down on them from racial point of view. So contradictions again. I would say it was just realpolitiks going on. Germans and Soviets hated each other with a passion, but that didn't stop them from signing secret pacts, joining forces and trading.
Probably someone already said it but to add to 6:25, the triple alliance wasn't an alliance but a defensive pact (against France mostly). Since Germany and Austria attacked first, Italy remained neutral... for a while
As a Nikkei from Perú and descent of a half Japanese half Peruvian(Arequipeño) who fights in the fall of the dictator (leguia), in the Spanish civil war and In the Japanese wars. I can say that part of the Japanese community in Peru was divided an expected. In my family for example they see like an insult to the Japanese blood the fact to try mixing with blacks. There was no some kind of racist cause we fight along side and give blacks a place to live but there is the concept of good blood and bad blood. And in the possibilitys there was a rumor that says that Japanese wanted invaded Perú using the south sates that were more militarist.
Just looking at that map, idk what Japan's long-term goal was. That's an impossible amount of land to hold, even if they took it. Even if you take out everything except China, idk how they'd hold it indefinitely.
Small correction about the Integralists: They used Green shirts, and were (mostly) anti-axis. Both Vargas (the Brazilian dictator) and Plínio Salgado (the Integralist leader) didn't like nazism nor Hitler, but were sympathetic towards Italy. In an Axis victory scenario, Brazil would disapprove the new European leaders, independently if it were Integralist or Varguist.
If this had been the outcome of World War II, then I'd be in my birth state of New York sitting and thinking about how luck I am to have been born in a bastion of freedom and democracy in a dark world.
the good news is that it more or less could not have been. neither Germany nor Japan really had the resources to fight the whole world, and even though they respectively rolled over France, Poland, China, and southeast Asia, the former started losing as soon as they attacked the USSR and the latter as soon as they attacked the US. in other words, any scenario where they actually try to conquer Eurasia would inherently end in defeat. it's not helpful in my opinion to see the Axis powers as a real threat to the world order, but rather as a genocidal temper tantrum that shook it up and forced it to adapt after an immense amount of carnage had been sown.
Yeah they talk about how they would have split up Australia, but considering it would have been absolutely unfeasible for the Japanese to do so (which they acknowledged during the war) I’d say I’d be in the same situation
Thank you so much for just giving the facts and information without subtly or blatantly telling people what/how to think. Too many history people used words such as, ‘evil’ ‘monster’ etc. which isn’t the job of a historian. Their job is to tell us what happened, not what to think of it. I always try to tell people that VERY VERY seldom is there “good vs bad” in war. It’s simply you vs us… Hitler/Stalin/Roosevelt/Putin/Sadam etc. DONT think they’re the bad guy… they think who they are fighting is. It just becomes a big mess… and when people look at things as good vs bad… what eventually happens is you dehumanize your enemy. Hitler believed what he was doing was best for his people.. right or wrong. The same way we colonized the Americas was best for our people we felt.. same as the British, French etc etc. So I just really appreciate that you don’t try to make history simplistic (good vs evil) but rather… this is what happened… and THEN the viewer can come to their own conclusions/
Frankly, what you're telling me is quite similar to historical revisionism, especially in regards to your judgement towards the British. Italy intervened in Turkey because of the 1915 London Agreement, not because of the right to self-determination. The British were responsible for several famines around the world, killing millions of people while continuing to export food from those territories. It was called the British Empire, not the "Let's all love each other" Republic. The British and French did not respect the agreements and Italy acted alone. Greece, which was only a pawn of the two powerful nations (UK and France), had the task of invading as much territory as possible while they held the Pasha hostage. Italy invaded various cities, but reached an agreement with Turkish nationalists who wanted to create a modern European state. The Italian army trained and armed Turkish volunteers against the Greek invasion, and in return for winning the war, the Turks recognized Italian sovereignty over Libya and the Dodecanese Islands.
If Britain had aligned itself with the Nazis then that partnership would have been unbeatable. Particularly with the Anglo Saxon descent present in England and the fact that Germans have always been the most similar to the English, more so than any other nation.
Germany "Portugal is to weak to maintain such a big colonial empire." Portuguese Privat Anibal Milhais: "Hold my wine" For those who don't know the history of Portugal in WWI, this privat killed hundreds of germans in the battle of La Lis in order for his batalion to retreat. The man got back only when everybody was gone, rescuing a scotich Doc on the way. He lived up until his 90's.
I wanna see the actual map that was found at the Eagles Nest which divvied up who got what after the war. PFC Vincent Speranza actually talked about finding a map at the Eagles Nest.
Here is why and how WW1 started, ended and finally caused WW2. Russia wanted to get a port in the Mediteranean Sea and therefore supported the murder of the Austrian crown prince by serbian secret service. Austria had no interest in territorial conquest, solely asked for the murderer to be punished. Germany had no conquering in mind. Germany had a growing industrial production and was hindered by the british Navy to access international markets. That was all Germany wanted. France wanted revenge for their 1871 war defeat. The USA were dragged into WW1 without any desire for conquest. Italy stayed out of WW1 from 1914 to 1916, being a close ally of the Axis powers. Only in 1916, seeing that the Axis chances decreased, and mainly because the Brits offered Austrian territory conquest to Italy in case Rome sided wirh the Allied forces, Italy joined into the war. The main british war goal was to continue cutting Germany off from any access to the international markets for their superior industrial goods. Given the above situation of competing interests and "the great war" lost by the Axis powers, Austria was cut into 10 countries and Germany should pay war reparations beyond any reasonable mind. The UK and US governments warned France's prime minister that such a cruel peace will bring radical politicians into power in Germany and Austria, but Clemenceau proceeded nontheless and caused WW2.
With all things consider, it is very unlikely that the Axis members would remain allies for very long after the war. The Nazis viewed all non-Northern Europeans (including Italians and Africans) as inferior and deserving of extermination, the Italians were disgruntled by German influence around the Mediterranean and wanted to colonize Africa, and the Japanese wanted total racial equality for all people of color and were against the colonization of Africa. Germany and Italy would fight over influence in Southern Europe, Germany and Japan would fight over influence in Siberia and the Muslim world, and Italy and Japan would fight over the question of African self-determination.
They didn’t view non aryans as deserving of extermination, they just say them as less human and in their society would have less rights. Except for some groups of people who they wanted to exterminate
You have no idea what you're talking about Let me show you what the nazis said about the Italians According to Hitler, Germans are more closely linked with the Italians than with any other people: From the cultural point of view, we are more closely linked with the Italians than with any other people. The art of Northern Italy is something we have in common with them: nothing but pure Germans. The objectionable Italian type is found only in the South, and not everywhere even there. We also have this type in our own country. When I think of them: Vienna-Ottakring, Munich-Giesing, Berlin-Pankow! If I compare the two types, that of these degenerate Italians and our type, I find it very difficult to say which of the two is the more antipathetic. Despite their weaknesses, the Italians have so many qualities that make us like them. Italy is the country where intelligence created the notion of the State. The Roman Empire is a great political creation, the greatest of all. The Italian's people musical sense, its liking for harmonious proportions, the beauty of its race! The Renaissance was the dawn of a new era, in which Aryan man found himself anew. There's also our own past on Italian soil Kind of contradicts your claims don't you think
The people who are saying the axsis shouldve won probably werent paying attention in history class when they talked about the Holocaust,Nanjing Massacre,Unit 731,Comfort Women and all the other atrocities committed by Germany and Japan.
Have you paid attention what the allies did? British empire enslaving 1/3rd of the world? A minimum of 7 million people died under Stalin, estimates go as high as 40 million, oh and don't forget the gulags. USAs enslavement of africans for centuries, the (almost) extinction of the native americans? The war in korea and especially vietnam. The massacres of civilians, agent orange mutilating people for generations? Complete systematic destabilisation of the middle east with countless people forced from their homes, millions of dead civilians? Guantanamo bay, people without any rights on leashes? You really think the U.S. government did not any similar crude "testing" on humans? And all of that in the name of right and justice. You can't mention one without mentioning the other. Please don't be so naive and pretend one is better or worse than the other.
So you intentionally only mention the bad things the Axis did? Should I even mention the nuclear bombs. The soviet gulags and mass rapes, the bombing on civilian targets by the British, the bengal famine?
Well the biggest what if is what if the King wasnt forced to abdicate before ww2 given that the king of Britain and the defacto head of the british empire marched in 1936 with Hitler as a guest of the state he might of been able to convince him to ally with germany automatically giving the axis powers more than half the world in one swoop
Germany was worried about missing out on colonies because of all of the "free land"that other European countries were getting they didn't want to miss out an opportunity but all the land that was offered to Bismark Germany would have been great for U-boat bases which was a huge mistake for rejecting the offers
During 1940, before Nazi Germany turned on them, the Soviets were negotiating formally joining the axis as a fourth axis power and they had some territorial ambitions in addition to what they got out of the pact. Those included Bulgaria and Romania or at least bases on the coast and in addition to that they demanded the Turkish straights. The Soviets also had ambitions regarding northern Iran and wanted to create a puppet republic (or even Soviet republic) out of Turkish and Iranian Kurdistan. Unofficially they had ambitions in India but those were not brought up during negotiations. Additional point during negotiations was a second attempt to conquer Finland. The status of jews in the Soviet Union was not discussed officially although removing them from high positions was considered a confidence building measure and was according to Stalin's long-term plans anyway. The Nazis thought those demands were too much as the Soviets were already given half of Poland, Moldova and the Baltics. The Nazis thought to give the Soviets Iran and Afghanistan under the vague wording of access to southren seas and wanted to keep Bulgaria,Romania and Turkey in their sphere. In the east the Soviet-Japanese status-quo was to be maintained with Soviet influence in east Turkestan and Mongolia while the rest going to Japan. After the war the Soviets retained ambitions in Turkey and Iran but were threatened by the US to get out. They didn't have nukes then and after the huge losses in the war and internal strain believed they aren't ready to confront Truman. Stalin had some thoughts of preparing for world war 3 over those areas (and was preparing a second great purge to be done at 1953-1955 as preparation to ww3) but he died before really starting to implement his plans. After Stalin's death and the military installing Kruschev the strategy changed to and indirect approach in the post-colonial regions (with the goal of denying resources of the post-colonial space) without immediate plans to annex territories and avoiding a nuclear war .
I've been trying to map this all in a strategy game I play and oh sweet jesus this is cursed Doesn't help with so many regions being left up for grabs lmao
My thoughts when watching this “Oh cool how long will this go for?” “Err where is the marker?” “4 FUCKING HOURS???” I was not prepared for a whole ass documentary
Sicily Strait, not Messina Strait. Messina strait is between Sicily and the continent, where the town of Messina is located. The strait between Sicily and Tunisia is called Sicily (Sicilian) Strait
To all of the "would be good" comments: I really hope it's the ignorance speaking and it wasn't clearly stated in the video but a large portion of the Earth's population would be dead based on their race by either gas, shot or burnt alive. Tens of million of civilians died during WWII because of that, people who just wanted to live but Nazis came, goated them into a church/barn and set it on fire. If it continued the numbers would be close to a billion. If that's your "would be good" scenario then you're a sicko!
Did you see it all from the movies and thought, "it was real", because your (completely politically unbiased, I'm sure🤡) government approved it? Some of you Russians are alright, especially from the St Petersburg, but when the close-minded attitude sets in, the urge to perform world's first involuntary skull transplant, it becomes unbearable.
So I live in fayette county Texas mentioned during the German colonies section and let me say lots of German and Czech family names. Also in fayette is a schulenburg and down the road is a weimar tx.
Japan's win in the Russo-Japanese war still stirs up powerful emotions as an Asian myself. While yes, it was horrible what they did during the war but the call of Asia for Asiatics reverberates to my mind to this day - especially as I still see how the west still controls so much influence in our country (and they dont even show us that they actually need us). If this is what I feel centuries after that victory - I can only imagine what the people of the past felt.
My two main take aways from this were 1) Hitler was an even bigger moron than I thought 2) Hitler and the Kaiser before him both were weirdly reverential of Islam despite hating pretty much every other non European Christian group
Nice Video ! But just a little mistake at 6:07. You have to switch Nice and Savoy! Nice is a city on the Mediterranean coast. Savoy is a border region with switzerland From a guy who live in Nice:)
You know iran was never called persia at any time in history. Aryans migrated to iran, defeated the civlizations there and claimed the land for themselves. Later named it "iran" which means "the land of aryans". This name was never changed to "persia" or anything else. Even during the time of the persian empire, it was called Iran.

Only reason Brazil joined the allies was due to a steel industry.

It's interesting to note that the Sigma symbol of integralism represents the mathematical "somatory" symbol, therefore representing union. The salute and "hail" were a tad bit different from Germans or Italians, they would raise their hand up like in a "stop!" motion, and yell "Anauê" which meant something like "Hail" or "Hello" from indiginous language.
That doesn't tell the whole story, the war effort improved ports, modern airfields, railroads, stimulated manufacturing, agriculture and mining. Also their current standing army/ air force really had no experience this was a huge opportunity on the main stage ;)
Spineless Brazilians as usual
holy hell this guy didn't need an introduction he just started spitting facts
This series was absolutely fantastic and I enjoyed watching the crazy ideas the axis empires had in mind. Hopefully you would make a series similar to this but for possibly medieval empires in certain wars or under the rule of ambitious leaders

1:57:0 Finns weren't forced to accept Friedrich Karl of Hessen as their king. Finns specifically requested candidates from Germany to be their king.
First they asked for Prince Oskar, but after the Kaiser rejected, Finns asked for Friedrich Karl.
It was the Finns that wanted a German king, the germans didn't ask for it.
Thank you
Funny how right of the back, he already madeistakes which in turn breaks the rest of it. Very badly researched
3:43:30 - Australia divided up between Italy and Germany. The Italians get the Northern Territory, Queensland, and New South Wales. The Germans get Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria, and Tasmania. The Aborigines get most of the place back in that scenario because the Germans were interested in pan-Germanism in Europe and the territorial consolidation of a single Reich and not going back to any sort of colonial policy. And the Italians pre-occupied with a Roman Empire around the Mediterranean. So you'd have had a Mad Max environment in Australia of white Australian ockers clandestinely hiding in bushes and behind rocks whispering, " Look, over there. The Luigis and the Fritzes mining for cobalt. ". You have the collapse of British administration and the elimination of Westminster.
I knew much of the background history, but I really appreciated you filling in all the gaps in my knowledge, instead of just jumping straight to WWII. The map work was excellent; again, I knew where most of these countries were located, but it was good to see them in relationship to each other.
The video I've been waiting for a year has come
Never seen your channel before and kinda shocked about it your videos are really informational def subbed
wow I've followed many historians and youtube history people and you really know your stuff in deep details
You should do a video on what Napoleon would have wanted if he were to have won. 😁
He won. He turned Europe into republics.
Napoleon had ambitions to form and empire in many places: Americas, Middle East and Europe. He went for Europe as it was the most feasible option considering everyone wanted to fight him there
Norway gaining Kola peninsula is unrealistic. Hitler on purpose did not allow Norwegian SS troops to fight in Finland in order to prevent any claims by the Norwegians on the Kola peninsula.
Great explanation on Italy's end goal. Cause I never understood how Mussolini wanted to recreate the Roman Empire
Basically they didn’t want anything but a share of what France and the Uk already had
He was delusional
@@zed3443they always say he was but looking at this Video with the help of Germany he wasn’t that Crazy he nearly Made it. Not the Roman Empire of course but a big sphere of influence
@mercurio7424 what Language is this? Learn english before Making fun of people. And no he didn’t come Close to the Romans since they conquered Egypt, all The Balkans, Turkey, England, France, Spain, Portugal… Mussolini only got Albania Greeece Lybia and Ethiopia. Compared to the Roman territories a total joke.
@@marcobelli6856Ethiopia alone is as big as Italy, Germany and the UK put together. It was a huge empire
If Spain had joined the war early possibly in 1941, Portugal would have most likely sided with the Axis in the case of a British defeat as well. It's hard to say what the borders of Africa would look like after an alternate WWII but I'm pretty sure that anyway it ends Portugal would still keep her colonies in Africa. I highly doubt Hitler would approve of taking the Portuguese colonies of either Angola or Mozambique. I believe if the Axis won that Portugal would have kept her colonies and annexed the modern nations of Malawi and Zambia to connect them as was the original agreement of the Berlin treaty which Britain violated.
Or Portugal annexes all of Africa according to the treaty of Tordesillas 💀... which they actually tried to do in the 1884 Berlin conference after their ambassador got upset after the other powers rejected the pink map.
@@sebastiandomingos335 Would you care to cite or reference the 1884 incident? Never heard of that before.
@@Tripartite1937 Well it's been a while since I've heard about so I'll try to find it
Actualy Portugal and Spain had a Non Agression pact signed to stay out ofvthe war, cuz Portugal would be siding with the Allies and Spain with the Axis and the Allies didn't want Spain in the war. Salazar (the portuguese dictator) disliked Mussolini because he belived Mussolini was leaning to paganism, and he disdained tha Nazis because they were definetly pagans and he thought the nazis were nothing but thugs. Besides that there is the Windsor treaty sign with England in the XIV century that mafe Portugal and England BFFs, fun fact that treaty is still active.
@@samuelteixeira8251 I agree with all of that that’s why I said Portugal would only do so in the case of a British defeat. Even then probably not.
A+ work have watched a few of the parts several times learned a few things which is very rare for RUclips . Thanks .
Now, although minor we need to talk about Lichtenstein.
I feel like that sums up Lichtenstein quite nicely.
So detailed historical video, kudos for your 4+ hour struggle. Incredible!
Adding small points. The movie portrays Japan as having consistently aimed to dominate Asia since Meiji era, and in fact there were always people out of power with such dreams. But as Jabzy also pointed out JP govt actually hadn't any master plans, just been fighting enemies it faced at each time. For ex although Tokyo's propaganda most of emmigrants simply had crossed the ocean to survive not to watch US, even in the Mukden Incident cabinet debated to punish IJA (nothing good happened because the Army's independence threatened govt). Only then did IJA/N take direct control of grand pictures
0:11 THE WHATBAR ISLANDS?
when you've already watched all of these but then your boy makes a megacut and releases them all as a 4.5 hour video that you need to watch again
Most people watching this video would have never been born. Scary to think of a Germany ww2 victory
The nazis in ww2: a german dude lived in this village in the middle of russia one time for about a month so we basically should own it
Wow, over 4 hours, but interesting enough of a topic to watch the whole thing! To get the discussion going as we all watch, how possible, if at all, was an Axis victory? At what moment was the war definitively lost?
The moment that they started the war.
I´d say the war was lost when Germany invaded the Soviet Union. Perhaps a white peace would have been possible with Britain after a few years of fighting.
@@yaldabaoth2 How long would the Fascist and Nazi regimes have survived without the war?
@@HistoryandHeadlines Italy perhaps longer but Germany's economy was in a debt spiral as the government re-armed. They planned to fund themselves with war gains (ie foreign gold reserves and confiscated property of certain population groups). They would have faced rebellion as soon as that bubble burst. And if they hadn't rearmed, been peaceful, sought good trade relations with the british and french? Then it wouldn't have been a nationalsocialistic dictatorship.
@@yaldabaoth2 What would have been Japan's fate had they not engaged in World War II?
The piece that's missing in your account of Nazi racial theory, what makes some of their judgments confusing and contradictory, is that they developed an alternative theory of master races vs. slave races that partly displaced Aryanism. This is how the Japanese got declared "honorary Aryans". But it went much further than that. I was startled to learn a few years ago that during the campaign for North Africa, the SS recruited black African volunteers on the theory that membership in certain tribes that the Germans considered exceptionally vigorous and warlike implied "master race" status.
Citation? What negro volunteers are you referring to?
Yeah it's almost like it was all bullshit that a bunch of weirdos made up which had no practical application on reality.
Interesting. I just found a new topic to research. Thanks man
Germany also had ties to certain Arab communities and countries like Iraq, Iran and others. They were united in their opposition against French and British. And obviously hating Jews. Hitler and other people from his circle both praised islam for it's militaristic approach, but also looked down on them from racial point of view. So contradictions again. I would say it was just realpolitiks going on. Germans and Soviets hated each other with a passion, but that didn't stop them from signing secret pacts, joining forces and trading.
“Honorary Aryan” is a myth and was never an actual thing.
I am a NS.
I think italy would have only been made into a rump state if germany somehow won after 1943
Probably someone already said it but to add to 6:25, the triple alliance wasn't an alliance but a defensive pact (against France mostly). Since Germany and Austria attacked first, Italy remained neutral... for a while
I've seen all these individually but just came here to drop a like for the content. Great stuff!
That's why the house always wins.
As a Nikkei from Perú and descent of a half Japanese half Peruvian(Arequipeño) who fights in the fall of the dictator (leguia), in the Spanish civil war and In the Japanese wars.
I can say that part of the Japanese community in Peru was divided an expected.
In my family for example they see like an insult to the Japanese blood the fact to try mixing with blacks.
There was no some kind of racist cause we fight along side and give blacks a place to live but there is the concept of good blood and bad blood.
And in the possibilitys there was a rumor that says that Japanese wanted invaded Perú using the south sates that were more militarist.
This body of work is far from being trivial RUclips videos; rather, it stands on par with well-known historical books.
Just looking at that map, idk what Japan's long-term goal was. That's an impossible amount of land to hold, even if they took it. Even if you take out everything except China, idk how they'd hold it indefinitely.
I feel like they wanted to create puppet states. Though I agree, holding that much even with a police force would be a recipe for disaster.
"its rihgt when we do it" england and france owning all colonies
tbf england and france didnt start the fucking holocaust
I love how this isn’t the usual overalls liberally slanted WW2 documentary and is just accurate to information
Small correction about the Integralists:
They used Green shirts, and were (mostly) anti-axis. Both Vargas (the Brazilian dictator) and Plínio Salgado (the Integralist leader) didn't like nazism nor Hitler, but were sympathetic towards Italy. In an Axis victory scenario, Brazil would disapprove the new European leaders, independently if it were Integralist or Varguist.
Yeah, I like to say that they like spaghetti but hated strudel.
@@Gustavogukpa Ah ah, wait for the cream *evil hans landa smile*
If this had been the outcome of World War II, then I'd be in my birth state of New York sitting and thinking about how luck I am to have been born in a bastion of freedom and democracy in a dark world.
the good news is that it more or less could not have been. neither Germany nor Japan really had the resources to fight the whole world, and even though they respectively rolled over France, Poland, China, and southeast Asia, the former started losing as soon as they attacked the USSR and the latter as soon as they attacked the US.
in other words, any scenario where they actually try to conquer Eurasia would inherently end in defeat. it's not helpful in my opinion to see the Axis powers as a real threat to the world order, but rather as a genocidal temper tantrum that shook it up and forced it to adapt after an immense amount of carnage had been sown.
ahahahah
Yeah they talk about how they would have split up Australia, but considering it would have been absolutely unfeasible for the Japanese to do so (which they acknowledged during the war) I’d say I’d be in the same situation
I have to say that this dedication and hard work is very impressive and I'm sure your channel will go far
Thank you so much for just giving the facts and information without subtly or blatantly telling people what/how to think. Too many history people used words such as, ‘evil’ ‘monster’ etc. which isn’t the job of a historian. Their job is to tell us what happened, not what to think of it. I always try to tell people that VERY VERY seldom is there “good vs bad” in war. It’s simply you vs us… Hitler/Stalin/Roosevelt/Putin/Sadam etc. DONT think they’re the bad guy… they think who they are fighting is. It just becomes a big mess… and when people look at things as good vs bad… what eventually happens is you dehumanize your enemy. Hitler believed what he was doing was best for his people.. right or wrong. The same way we colonized the Americas was best for our people we felt.. same as the British, French etc etc.
So I just really appreciate that you don’t try to make history simplistic (good vs evil) but rather… this is what happened… and THEN the viewer can come to their own conclusions/
Your music and voice are independently soothing. In concert, impeccable.
I got more history knowledge in this video than my entire school
I watched all of these before but we do love to see it
Ah just in time for my Japan playthrough on Hoi4. So good.
Great Video, thanks for making them
Frankly, what you're telling me is quite similar to historical revisionism, especially in regards to your judgement towards the British. Italy intervened in Turkey because of the 1915 London Agreement, not because of the right to self-determination. The British were responsible for several famines around the world, killing millions of people while continuing to export food from those territories. It was called the British Empire, not the "Let's all love each other" Republic. The British and French did not respect the agreements and Italy acted alone. Greece, which was only a pawn of the two powerful nations (UK and France), had the task of invading as much territory as possible while they held the Pasha hostage. Italy invaded various cities, but reached an agreement with Turkish nationalists who wanted to create a modern European state. The Italian army trained and armed Turkish volunteers against the Greek invasion, and in return for winning the war, the Turks recognized Italian sovereignty over Libya and the Dodecanese Islands.
THANK YOU FOR THIS I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
You’ve made me aware of the global interconnectedness of the politics of the era. Nice work!
Really emjoyed this, thanks mate brill vid.
If Britain had aligned itself with the Nazis then that partnership would have been unbeatable. Particularly with the Anglo Saxon descent present in England and the fact that Germans have always been the most similar to the English, more so than any other nation.
The world would have been a better place too!
The united states had more potential still. The Cold war would have been united states vs Germany/UK

I wanna see the actual map that was found at the Eagles Nest which divvied up who got what after the war. PFC Vincent Speranza actually talked about finding a map at the Eagles Nest.
Here is why and how WW1 started, ended and finally caused WW2.
Russia wanted to get a port in the Mediteranean Sea and therefore supported the murder of the Austrian crown prince by serbian secret service. Austria had no interest in territorial conquest, solely asked for the murderer to be punished. Germany had no conquering in mind. Germany had a growing industrial production and was hindered by the british Navy to access international markets. That was all Germany wanted. France wanted revenge for their 1871 war defeat. The USA were dragged into WW1 without any desire for conquest. Italy stayed out of WW1 from 1914 to 1916, being a close ally of the Axis powers. Only in 1916, seeing that the Axis chances decreased, and mainly because the Brits offered Austrian territory conquest to Italy in case Rome sided wirh the Allied forces, Italy joined into the war. The main british war goal was to continue cutting Germany off from any access to the international markets for their superior industrial goods.
Given the above situation of competing interests and "the great war" lost by the Axis powers, Austria was cut into 10 countries and Germany should pay war reparations beyond any reasonable mind. The UK and US governments warned France's prime minister that such a cruel peace will bring radical politicians into power in Germany and Austria, but Clemenceau proceeded nontheless and caused WW2.
With all things consider, it is very unlikely that the Axis members would remain allies for very long after the war. The Nazis viewed all non-Northern Europeans (including Italians and Africans) as inferior and deserving of extermination, the Italians were disgruntled by German influence around the Mediterranean and wanted to colonize Africa, and the Japanese wanted total racial equality for all people of color and were against the colonization of Africa. Germany and Italy would fight over influence in Southern Europe, Germany and Japan would fight over influence in Siberia and the Muslim world, and Italy and Japan would fight over the question of African self-determination.
They didn’t view non aryans as deserving of extermination, they just say them as less human and in their society would have less rights. Except for some groups of people who they wanted to exterminate
You have no idea what you're talking about
Let me show you what the nazis said about the Italians
According to Hitler, Germans are more closely linked with the Italians than with any other people:
From the cultural point of view, we are more closely linked with the Italians than with any other people. The art of Northern Italy is something we have in common with them: nothing but pure Germans. The objectionable Italian type is found only in the South, and not everywhere even there. We also have this type in our own country. When I think of them: Vienna-Ottakring, Munich-Giesing, Berlin-Pankow! If I compare the two types, that of these degenerate Italians and our type, I find it very difficult to say which of the two is the more antipathetic.
Despite their weaknesses, the Italians have so many qualities that make us like them. Italy is the country where intelligence created the notion of the State. The Roman Empire is a great political creation, the greatest of all. The Italian's people musical sense, its liking for harmonious proportions, the beauty of its race! The Renaissance was the dawn of a new era, in which Aryan man found himself anew. There's also our own past on Italian soil
Kind of contradicts your claims don't you think
@@IrishCinnsealachHe said Northern Italy you know Southern Italy exists too right?

The people who are saying the axsis shouldve won probably werent paying attention in history class when they talked about the Holocaust,Nanjing Massacre,Unit 731,Comfort Women and all the other atrocities committed by Germany and Japan.
Have you paid attention what the allies did?
British empire enslaving 1/3rd of the world? A minimum of 7 million people died under Stalin, estimates go as high as 40 million, oh and don't forget the gulags. USAs enslavement of africans for centuries, the (almost) extinction of the native americans? The war in korea and especially vietnam. The massacres of civilians, agent orange mutilating people for generations? Complete systematic destabilisation of the middle east with countless people forced from their homes, millions of dead civilians? Guantanamo bay, people without any rights on leashes? You really think the U.S. government did not any similar crude "testing" on humans? And all of that in the name of right and justice.
You can't mention one without mentioning the other. Please don't be so naive and pretend one is better or worse than the other.
@fox2920 so you support axis
So you intentionally only mention the bad things the Axis did? Should I even mention the nuclear bombs. The soviet gulags and mass rapes, the bombing on civilian targets by the British, the bengal famine?
@HetzrrCry Nazi lol.
Well the biggest what if is what if the King wasnt forced to abdicate before ww2 given that the king of Britain and the defacto head of the british empire marched in 1936 with Hitler as a guest of the state he might of been able to convince him to ally with germany automatically giving the axis powers more than half the world in one swoop
Such great content, keep it up!
4 hours and 32 minutes of top-quality content. Don't mind if I do!
Germany was worried about missing out on colonies because of all of the "free land"that other European countries were getting they didn't want to miss out an opportunity but all the land that was offered to Bismark Germany would have been great for U-boat bases which was a huge mistake for rejecting the offers
Magnificent presentation
During 1940, before Nazi Germany turned on them, the Soviets were negotiating formally joining the axis as a fourth axis power and they had some territorial ambitions in addition to what they got out of the pact. Those included Bulgaria and Romania or at least bases on the coast and in addition to that they demanded the Turkish straights. The Soviets also had ambitions regarding northern Iran and wanted to create a puppet republic (or even Soviet republic) out of Turkish and Iranian Kurdistan. Unofficially they had ambitions in India but those were not brought up during negotiations. Additional point during negotiations was a second attempt to conquer Finland.
The status of jews in the Soviet Union was not discussed officially although removing them from high positions was considered a confidence building measure and was according to Stalin's long-term plans anyway.
The Nazis thought those demands were too much as the Soviets were already given half of Poland, Moldova and the Baltics. The Nazis thought to give the Soviets Iran and Afghanistan under the vague wording of access to southren seas and wanted to keep Bulgaria,Romania and Turkey in their sphere. In the east the Soviet-Japanese status-quo was to be maintained with Soviet influence in east Turkestan and Mongolia while the rest going to Japan.
After the war the Soviets retained ambitions in Turkey and Iran but were threatened by the US to get out. They didn't have nukes then and after the huge losses in the war and internal strain believed they aren't ready to confront Truman. Stalin had some thoughts of preparing for world war 3 over those areas (and was preparing a second great purge to be done at 1953-1955 as preparation to ww3) but he died before really starting to implement his plans. After Stalin's death and the military installing Kruschev the strategy changed to and indirect approach in the post-colonial regions (with the goal of denying resources of the post-colonial space) without immediate plans to annex territories and avoiding a nuclear war .
Germany and Japan didn't like communism

top, pinned comment.
To all of the "would be good" comments: I really hope it's the ignorance speaking and it wasn't clearly stated in the video but a large portion of the Earth's population would be dead based on their race by either gas, shot or burnt alive. Tens of million of civilians died during WWII because of that, people who just wanted to live but Nazis came, goated them into a church/barn and set it on fire. If it continued the numbers would be close to a billion. If that's your "would be good" scenario then you're a sicko!
I was about to say the same. Really hope they're trolls... I somehow doubt it.
no they definitely mean it history channel comment sections are filled with nazis
It would be good, you’re the ignorant here, just for what you said… you really took that from your ass 🤦♂️ pure nonsense
Did you see it all from the movies and thought, "it was real", because your (completely politically unbiased, I'm sure🤡) government approved it?
Some of you Russians are alright, especially from the St Petersburg, but when the close-minded attitude sets in, the urge to perform world's first involuntary skull transplant, it becomes unbearable.

Japan's win in the Russo-Japanese war still stirs up powerful emotions as an Asian myself. While yes, it was horrible what they did during the war but the call of Asia for Asiatics reverberates to my mind to this day - especially as I still see how the west still controls so much influence in our country (and they dont even show us that they actually need us).
If this is what I feel centuries after that victory - I can only imagine what the people of the past felt.
Who is this Hitler guy? He has some interesting ideas.
Those weren’t his own ideas. Just rehashed old nonsense
My two main take aways from this were 1) Hitler was an even bigger moron than I thought 2) Hitler and the Kaiser before him both were weirdly reverential of Islam despite hating pretty much every other non European Christian group
I found it weird that they liked our religion but also imagine how nice if both of them converted.

But just a little mistake at 6:07. You have to switch Nice and Savoy! Nice is a city on the Mediterranean coast. Savoy is a border region with switzerland
From a guy who live in Nice:)
You know iran was never called persia at any time in history. Aryans migrated to iran, defeated the civlizations there and claimed the land for themselves. Later named it "iran" which means "the land of aryans". This name was never changed to "persia" or anything else. Even during the time of the persian empire, it was called Iran.
The name Persia came from the Greeks
its almost like this language is “english”, not “iranian”. Its not for foreigners to decide how stuff should be referred to.
