The Italians war of unification will be the same, but with the monarchy being less oppressive and mis treating of the south afterwards,during Africa partition Italy starts faster and get Tunisia (maybe allying with Britain or Germany as way to convince the French to do so) and also to support them in invasion of Ethiopia (maybe dividing it into Eritrea colony, that is larger , larger Somalian colony and and puppet state of Ethiopia from what left), during the post wars against the ottoman they are able to keep more of the land (maybe aligning more with Greece making them their ally and both able to keep the coast at least) during ww2 they still go with entente but compensated with Croatia and Albania . In ww2 Mussolini was one of the few that opposed Austrian annexation and feel like Italy that feel less cheated would probably do the the same , he and up aligning to the Germans because he burned all the bridges with the Ethiopian invasion, initially they keep neutral but later (around 1942) start helping the allies with the promise to get Corsica and the region they gave to France after the war and maybe able to get their monarchy on some of the countries. When decolonization hit they still leave their empire but there still less bad blood because irl Italian nationalism considered all people in Italy Italians so with better and stronger Italy area like Somalia might feel it
Why would Germany lose territory after the war against the Entente when they've occupied large parts of western Russia and northern France? A return to status quo would be way more likely, but I could maybe see the French getting Alsace-Lorraine to lower the tensions with the Germans, but Russia gaining Posen? No way in hell. In what position would the Russians be to annex Posen when the Germans have pushed them to Kiev?
The dude just hates Germany it's very obvious they and Japan almost always lose in his scenarios while the Soviet Union almost always since he doesn't believe lend lease was important to them.
@@Lp-army1 in 1941-1942 over 40% of soviet supply trucks were given to them via lend lease, it was absolutely essential for them to survive, 1942 was the most important year in the eastern front, the soviets receiving only 60% of the supply they got irl could mean the germans getting the caucasus

Your predictions for the advanced war in the "Germany rejects British mediation" scenario in the "late war" option do not match the reality of the scenario, yes, Germany is devoid of its Habsburg ally, but this alliance was more relevant at the beginning of the war where had to deal with both Russia and enemies in the Balkans at the same time, historically, after the Russian revolution, the Habsburg usefulness and effectiveness was more than questionable, whether in the east or on the Italian front. And now we must acknowledge the obvious, the Habsburg potential was not completely denied to Germany, on the contrary, most of it was granted directly to Germany, in the form of the German parts of the Habsburg rule, its suzerainty over Czechoslovakia and even better, an alliance with Romania, not to mention not having to deal with the BEF in France for a good part of the war, so, with Germany having somehow survived the first few years of the war with gains similar to historically, we are now dealing with a Germany much more capable during the Kaiserschlacht than historically, so, with a French army in worse shape, a less powerful and mobilized BEF due to the late entry into the war, it is possible that Paris will be within Heer's reach after all, if this will result in victory It's debatable, but that's my reading.
Yeah, like wouldn't germany be in much better shape without the 2 or 3 years of naval blockade from Britain? It seems like PH has a phobia about Germany winning WW1 if Britian joins, even if every advantage is given to them.
@@astillia6073 Also Russia collapsing after it has further modernized & stabilized after 1905 would be unlikely, the collapse & revolution was something that happened due to sheer incompetence, miscommunication, and was very much dependent on the people in charge at the time. Even a few extra years of peace in Russia could alter the timeline so much that the same revolution just wouldn't happen.
Yes, Germany wouldn't have the same economic collapse and social turmoil that lead to it's surrender in our time line and they would still have a strong grip in the east. I can see a peace deal were Germany looses the minor Territories under Italian control and have to pay war reps to France. But I can't see why the Germans would do an unconditional surrender and accept a complete fragmentation.
@@nitrrogen2628 It took Lenin and Stalin 20 years to industrialize Russia at breakneck speed with no regard to the cost of life. A "few" more years wouldnt change the backward nature of the Russian Empire.
I think the moderate entente victory is the most interesting scenario, would be interested in seeing a follow up as I think this is the only scenario where you have made an Anglo-German alliance possible Although the heavy entente victory is also interesting because of the powerful Italy, possibly without Mussolini which is also something we don’t see often
I like the scenario overall, but I think you are underestimating germany a bit. Germany isnt blockaded while France may be and the Ententes War effort isnt payed for by the british in the beginning. As a result Germany would perform way better and I would expect a peace in favour of germany (8:42), Germany to gain a bit more land or maybe some french colonies (16:26) and a longer stalemate with maybe a even peace (20:24) (Germany might even keep one or two puppet states stripped from russia. Alternatively I could also see France completely collapsing if germany can manage to blockade France resulting in a complete German victory.
So the entente loses Britain and the central powers loses Austria Hungary? The central powers nearly won in our timeline, seems like a central powers victory is all but guaranteed here. Britain far surpassed Austria Hungary in strength. The German fleet was also far stronger than the French and russian ones combined. So no blockade, no starvation, etc. I disagree with Germany losing the first scenario.
Well Millions of Hungarian and Serbian Soldiers soldiers that used to fight on the side of the Central Powers were now fighting for the Entente, so it really isn't an easy victory for Germany.
@@hatefulgaming1800They really did nearly win though. If the US doesn't join, the central powers might actually have a shot at victory. Russia was dead and the primary reason for Central Power weakness at this point was the blockade of Germany. Without more American support Germany could hold out maybe long enough to gather up more resources from the east and push back. There's also morale to consider here. While yes the CP's victory isn't assured, unlike in WW2, Germany and the rest of the CP actually has a major chance at victory assuming they could get even a quarter of the luck that the Nazis got in 40-41. (France falling shouldn't have been possible. 40-41 is literally a German wank)
They did effectively beat the Russians so in this timeline where it's just France and Russia if Russia also fell in this timeline France is probably screwed. If Britain stayed neutral uber-germany (as German speaking Austria was given to Germany) imo would beat the Russians even without Austria-hungary. So while the Central powers didn't nearly win in our timeline they did still beat Russia and that is in this scenario nearly half of their opponents strength.
Why would germany be under more pressure in the first scenario they have all of austria and czechoslovakia about 20 million more people to fight with and both of those countries were fairly industrial in that time it doesnt make any sense. Germany got a subject and more people that speak their language while russia got more disgruntled polish nationalists that possibly will revolt and sabotage the russians, in real life czechoslovakia with half the population of poland switched sides and joined russians to fight against austrians and the germans so why wouldnt already rebellious poles do the same but for russia?
Also, Germany doesn't get blockaded because the British stay out of it. The French navy has no chance blockading German trade against the German navy. If anything, the German navy will disrupt French trade. Germany meanwhile will fully trade with the UK and US. I see no way how France wins this without Britain.
if I had to make a guess: in our timeline, germany and austria-hungary have two separate militaries with their own commanders doing their own things, though working together in this timeline, germany's military leadership would have to basically carry every front at the same time, without having a second large military to lean on this alternate timeline's germany would have a bigger army but it also has more fronts to cover as it can't rely on austria-hungary in the south
@@Megukagi They more or less did that anyway. After one or even two years of war the Austrian army was completely done and not really able to stand up to Russia anymore. They barely held the Italian front. Everything else was led and mostly defended by German troops, with Austria just doing auxiliary work.
@@Megukagi The Austrian army would be rolled into the German army though and be much more effective. Germany would most likely field 3 armies. One for the french front, One for the Russian front and one for the Balkan front.
Germany does have more resources, but maybe only on paper. I would assume the recent Austrian collapse meant that the actual integration of their infrastructure, manpower and industry could proof complicated and reduce the efficiency of them. At the same time it's very important to look at the military spending. From 1910 to 1914 German anf Austrian military spending doubled, while Frances stayed on the same level and Russias only increased 33%. So this earlier war means Germanys army is not nearly as well equipped compared to our timeline
Video suggestions: 1) what if Germany concentrated in attacking Russia first instead of France and Belgium in WW1? 2) What if NATO's able archer exercise in 80s triggered WW3? 3) what if Stalin listened to his spies of the Axis army build-up near its border and acted accordingly? 4) What if the French had listened to Belgian intelligence of possible German invasion through ardenne and reinforced it? 5) what if Hitler never redirected the german panzer divisions of the central army group to flank Kiev and just continued to Moscow? 6) what if the Belgians let the Germans pass in WW1?
So in short, 1) What if Germany won WW1 2) what if WW3 started in 1983? 3) what if Stalin wasn't a jerk? 4) what if the French weren't French? 5) what if Hitler listened to his generals?
i think the third one is the most interesting here. i could be a double sided sword tho. more divisions at the Start of the invasion. isnt all good. especially because the soviet Union still suffers from the purges during this time. and would cause more starting losses.
So, wait, Germany has more land and population directly integrated into its industry and army, pretty much all the Balkan nations are on the Central Powers' side, the British are not in the war and as a result, the Ottomans are in a much better position... and somehow, the Germans are in the same situation in the same timeframe that they were in OTL's WW1? With the wider front against Romania and more Ottoman troops in the caucasus, the Russians should be folding a lot faster, while the French are left without British reinforcements for the first half of the war. How does this result in the war going the exact same for Germany unless they end it early? Yes, the Austro-Hungarians are gone, but apart from Hungary, every nation that used to be a part of Austria-Hungary is on the German side, plus Romania.
Croatia was a part of Austria,same with bosnia or Galicia all of them are not in the German alliance,plus the thing is Germany has the new land but it doesn’t have the troops of Austria Hungary.And the Ottomans surrender because of a siege of Constantinople the troops in the Caucasus don’t matter that much,because you can’t really push there
@@Das-ist-k-ein-VIRUShow would it not have the Austro-Hungarian troops, they're literally all organized under their own ethnic armies now, minus Hungarians and Croats, and the Croats aren't fighting germany.
@@astillia6073 Most of the Austro-Hungarian Army (88%) were a part of the K.u.K. Heer were 25% were Austrian and would stick to the Germans the other 75% were Hungarian,Romanian,Croatian,Italian and others and wouldn’t stick.
Because he hates Central Powers victory scenarios. Britain not being in the war means no blockade, even possible American investment and loans. It also means the removal of a million troops from the Ottoman Empire. So imagine if 300,000+ soldiers under Mustafa Kemal were fighting in the Caucasus instead, which would again require Russia to divert more forces there. The US would be reluctant to join as well if the UK isn't. This should be a pretty confirmed Central Powers victory but sometimes people can't envision things they hate, even in fictional scenarios.
@@shamsishraq6831This isnt HoI4. You cant just send millions of men to the Caucasus. Or instantly somehow benefit from annexing Austria. The austro fascists for instance werent quite eager to become german
the main thing i dont understand is at 15:49 where romania gets more of hungary instead of getting moldova from russia? why would they want to add even more hungarians instead of romanians/moldovans?
Moldova may have been desirable but Transylvania and a few bits beyond were always the big prize for Romanian nationalists, even if some of it wasn't even inhabited primarily by Romanians. They already saw no problem with annexing majority Hungarian areas in our timeline just for national pride.
First scenario would be the most interesting for a follow up, a German-British alliance is something that I don‘t see explored too often so it has a lot of potential
Please continue the first scenario with the German-British Alliance. I mean the German and British Empires working together is a very rare possible history theme and I‘d love to see a continuation of it.
Wouldn't the Schliffen plan be more successful? The Russian economy and mobilization would be worse and they would be slow to get to the front. Without British support, the Belgians might be more willing to let the Germans go through their country. The French wouldn't have the British troops to help them slow down the initial Greman advance. Germany would be able to harass French shipping very effectively. There is a chance they could knock France out of the war in the first year.
The scenario where there is a moderate loss for Germany looks the most interesting as ww1 didn’t have to be the war to end all wars and could have been just another European War like Crimea or Franco Prussian War
I don't think the Germans would allow their nation to be completely humiliated considering there where the one who was winning the war on the map. I think Germany would still accept to a peace deal with Britain and also give Possen to Russia and Alsace and the Saarland to France, but in return they would ask for concessions. Likely in the form of one Luxembourg and an expansion of their colonial territories against France, like an expansion of German Kamerun and Togoland.
Saarland and Posen hell no they were key industrial bases of the east and west and would've weakened the Germans for the next war also Russia was in no position to take Posen
Germany not being tied to the dead weight of Austria definitely opens up a lot more diplomatic possibilities. Primarily, they can hold the balance between Britain and Russia, and benefit from that flexibility. Awareness of this fact may lead to better decision-making concerning the naval arms race and their stance towards the Balkans. Italy being a strong German ally is almost a given in this scenario - they also have interests to East and West, and little to gain from conflict with Germany once the return of Italian territories held by Austria is accomplished.
I'd argue that without Britain joining, Germany's Schliefen plan would've worked better than IRL. IRL the French begged the British to hold their left flank with the BEF (without telling them that they would have an open left flank in turn) against the right flank of the Germans and they did holding them at the Battle of Mons. Without the British to hold that part of the front Belgium might have been overrun and there is every chance that the Germans might have reached Paris and forced a surrender from France.
@@hatefulgaming1800 The loss of a capital a second time (first time being franco-prussian war) would devastate french morale and weaken the army significantly, which would either have the french surrendering to get a less worse deal or getting fully occupied by the germans.
@@Gvazdika. That was a much weaker France fighting a war the people weren’t particularly interested in, Unless Germany is able to somehow take Paris in 1914 and not only continually hold off Russia but also not have Britain get involved the war won’t be over so quickly.
@@hatefulgaming1800 Considering that is damn near exactly what happened in the Franco-Prussian war, I'd say it's a fair possibility. Not to mention the fact that with taking or surrounding Paris, the Germans would put a major strain on the French supplyline and industrial capacity. As for if they could hold off the Russians in the east? They did that IRL. The German high command pulled several hundred thousand men from the western front because they thought they needed to hold back the Russians, but before those men had arrived the Eastern Generals had defeated-in-detail several Russian armies.
@@enderkatze6129 Honestly fair enough lol, shame we cant get more expansive hour long alt history videos but thats not exactly the most rewarding thing to put out as a youtuber especially for alternate history id imagine.
In the aggressive scenario, the schlieffan plan likely would have been MORE successful, not less. With some of Russian manpower being tied up in the baltics combined with the increased manpower of Germany due to an increase in size, they likely would be able to hold the Russians in favorable terrain. Especially considering that Britain isn't helping France. Italy would definitely not side with the Entente. The entire reason why they joined in our timeline was because the Entente offered them more land. At the very least they would stay neutral, if not join the Germans. Normally your videos are quite on top of the scenario, but this one seems to be out of your grasp, sorry dude.
18:20 this is complete bullshit. I know it's voter If Italy side with Germany they would get a lot of territories like Nice, Corsica, Savoy, Tunis, Djibouti, Somaliland they can even take Piedmont and this is only direct control. They can puppet Serbia and Montenegro, their puppet states of Croatia and Albania will grow significantly. And they can also require war reparations from France and Britain. Italy would get good allies like Germany and Ottomans. Italian influence on countries like Greece, Bulgaria would be significant. I highly doubt that any amount of money can surpass all of this
Amazing and delightfully through. Perhaps you vould collab with other youtubers and make a series of all of the outcomes? I think it would make for some awesome storytelling
I think I'd like a follow up to either the first or third outcomes. Both seem the most interesting with the Anglo-German rapprochement in the first or the very much empowered Italy in the third.
I really don't think that's how the last scenario would play out. Firstly the absence of AH would be arguably much beneficial to the central powers instead of this invaluable loss the video presents. To simple put AH was a failed state leaded by a bloated monarchy and extremely inefficient in dealing with it's resources and man powers. The army was a mess composed of different ethnicities that didn't have any real incentive to fight for a country that didn't represent them. On this time line however, Austria is fully integrated on the hands of a far more competent Germany, the Czechs and Slovaks have their own stable state that at least have something to gain out of this war. Now, sure, the Central power would lack the Croatians and Hungarians, but that would be a worth price for having a strong Bulgaria and Romania at their side. The central powers were also in a much worse strategic position in our timeline, AH and the Ottomans were both surrounded and fighting a shit ton of different countries at once. In this time line however, with Romania being in the central powers Hungary will quickly fall and Serbia would be the one cut out. Italy would either remain neutral in the early stages of war or actually help the central power carve up Serbia without actually entering the alliance. Serbia would fall much quicker and now we have a stronger Germany, Romania and Bulgaria invading Russia with some help of the Ottomans. So the Russian campaign should be even better for the Central powers than in our time line. Now this is the time the UK would join the entente and I think we are neglecting the consequences of a delayed British intervention. Without a blocked in the early years, German economy isn't collapsing and the France campaign would have been better so there isn't the social turmoil and collapse of German living standard as in our time line. There is also no way Italy will be joining entente, Britain was strongly opposed to an Italian Tunisia and France would under any circumstances accept to give up Niece, Savoy and Corsica. Even in a very unlikely scenario that they accept to just give up all of that to Italy, is still very unlikely that the Italians would join, considering that the Germans have just finished off the Russians and the central powers have Hegemony under Balkans, in this time line Germany is also a far more valuable ally to Italy and joining the entente would also shock the Italian economy, so they would stay neutral. With a neutral Italy, a better win in the russian front, a still functional German economy, a total hegemony in Balkans and no capitulation by any of their allies there is simple no reason for a German surrender. They would push into France and defend the Ottomans. The Germans are still not likely to make into Paris and there is no Ottoman revival, but they would be able to force a favorable peace deal. That I imagine could look something like this: - Germany Annex Luxembourg. - The entente recognize German east claims. - France and Britain pay war reparations. - The ottomans annex the rest of Arabian peninsula and the Sinai region. - The ottomans annex Cyprus - The Suez canal become controlled by both the British and the Ottomans in order to ensure neutrality. Maybe Italy would join the Central Powers after the Russian collapse leading to it annexing Malta, Tunísia, Nice and Savoy, maybe even Corsica if they perform well enough.
What if the Papal States pushed for unification of Italy instead of Sardinia?(highly improbable, but interesting idea, especially if they do more crusades against the ottomans)
(Potential) feedback: the music at the start is somewhat distracting, its a good song and would love to hear it midway, but it's a bit hard to follow over
11:10 I doubt that the second balkan war would happen, because Serbia, despite german backing of italian claims on albania, still manages to get coastal access. A major part of the escalation between the two states, was that Bulgaria didnt back Serbia on their albanian claims and when they were forced to give them up in return Serbia decided to not respect their agreement with Bulgaria over Macedonia. Forcing the bulgarian leadership to act now and not wait for russian arbitration over the matter. Overall i highly doubt the starting of the second balkan war in this scenario.
heres a wierd what if: what if luxembourg, denmark, belgium and the netherlands tried to join german, germany refusing and then the benelumark fight germany to be a part of them or at least semi-integrated? its wierd but might be worth checking out
My favorite branches were: Germany intervenes militarily into the Balkans, and Germany doesn't intervene in the Balkan war, and accepts British demand during the Hungary-sparked war
germany losing land on both sides while beating both sides is a bit weird. Britain asking germany to give posen to russia? feels super strange to reinforce on of their "ennemies" and weaken the only other country capable of opposing them, all that while germany pushed 1000km or more in russia's territory.
Wait, why exactly does the Schlieffen plan go more badly? "They don't have Austria Hungary". Yeah, but they have Austria and Czechia. Their Armies didn't just disappear but most likely got merged into Germany. The same goes for their mobilizable population. What I see is a Schlieffen plan with a smaller front in the East, one central Command instead of Two and a Western Front without Britain.
I wish that you would have given a more active role to Hungary, the only thing they do is being a target but considering how their position was precarious they should have done everything possible to expand the revolution just to survive, perhaps by pushing for a revolution in Germany or Czechoslovakia while they were losing. As a viewer I don’t mind unrealistic outcomes if they make for an interesting yet relatively balanced scenario
Easily one of the best videos you've made, good job PH I hope you continue this scenario! IMO the first timeline is more interesting than the second, considering it's quite a lot different. 👍
Im most interested in a follow up for the German Victory (number 2) as it is not an Entente Vicory and is like a Quick CP victory in WW1 except nothing drastic changed (apart from partition of A-H)
9:30, Russia would've also probably taken Memel, and Denmark would've been forced by Britain, France, and Russia to reannex Schleswig. Otherwise the treaty makes sense as a mild treaty.
You forget without Britain Paris would have fallen in our timeline it was mostly due to British troops diverting forces from the direct advance on Paris that the last bit wasn’t archieved. Also without Britain the German Navy can start to Blockade France while all the dispersed fleets can safely return to Europe. German industry isn’t crippled yet due to continued commerce.
I think the 1st scenario, with Germany suffering minor losses is the one that would be the most interesting moving forward. the 3rd one is too similar to our timeline and the a german victory makes them too powerful imo
Alternative history channels when redrawing eastern europe: Option A:Poland being under full german/russian influence Option B:Poland gains more lands, becomes hegemon of the east, sometimes getting the same border with germany as today Option C: Poland is annexed by russia
If you continue any of the time lines, please continue the one that does not end up horrifyingly for Hungary :D (almost in all of your videos we get fucked up pretty severely)
I think the first senerio would be the most interesting, seeing a sort of Cold War dynamic with the 1930s attitude would be fascinating, plus 7 years war call back with Britain and Germany teaming up
One of these days I really wanna see an alternative history video where Czechoslovakia isn't formed and what is now Slovakia remains a part of Hungary.
Italy would probably still go fascist, people often think that Mussolini's rise was just due to "vittoria mutilata" and that a greater italy would prevent fascism. While the rethoric of the "vittoria mutilata" was a strong propaganda point for the fascists, the main reason for the rise of fascism was the "biennio rosso", basically, for 2 years the country was full of strikes and protests and Italy came really near to a communist revolution. If the scenario does not change this, then the rise of fascism is still very likely
I'd actually love a continuation to the last sub-scenario, ut gives solid fundament for nazis to come to power while also making important shifts between great powers. This world looks so similliar to ours, yet it differs so much
I want a video where Germany doesn't follow the Schlieffen Plan and goes on the defensive in Alsace, never attacking Belgium and instead focussing on Russia.
I mean, I am nut sure how big of an impact Austria Hungary not being there would have made in that Scenario. Especially considering that the Schlieffen Plan very nearly succeeded in real life, and that was with Britain helping on the Western Front. If they didn’t join immediately upon the invasion of Belgium (which is also very unrealistic) France would most likely fall in the first few months.
7:27 "makes some minor victories" procceds to take half of poland

When decolonization hit they still leave their empire but there still less bad blood because irl Italian nationalism considered all people in Italy Italians so with better and stronger Italy area like Somalia might feel it

Yes, Germany wouldn't have the same economic collapse and social turmoil that lead to it's surrender in our time line and they would still have a strong grip in the east.
I can see a peace deal were Germany looses the minor Territories under Italian control and have to pay war reps to France. But I can't see why the Germans would do an unconditional surrender and accept a complete fragmentation.
@@nitrrogen2628 It took Lenin and Stalin 20 years to industrialize Russia at breakneck speed with no regard to the cost of life. A "few" more years wouldnt change the backward nature of the Russian Empire.
I think the moderate entente victory is the most interesting scenario, would be interested in seeing a follow up as I think this is the only scenario where you have made an Anglo-German alliance possible
Although the heavy entente victory is also interesting because of the powerful Italy, possibly without Mussolini which is also something we don’t see often
I want see the ww2 version
@@omarahmad7335 Agreed as long the painter with a funny mustache doesn’t get invited.
I like the scenario overall, but I think you are underestimating germany a bit. Germany isnt blockaded while France may be and the Ententes War effort isnt payed for by the british in the beginning. As a result Germany would perform way better and I would expect a peace in favour of germany (8:42), Germany to gain a bit more land or maybe some french colonies (16:26) and a longer stalemate with maybe a even peace (20:24) (Germany might even keep one or two puppet states stripped from russia. Alternatively I could also see France completely collapsing if germany can manage to blockade France resulting in a complete German victory.
So the entente loses Britain and the central powers loses Austria Hungary? The central powers nearly won in our timeline, seems like a central powers victory is all but guaranteed here. Britain far surpassed Austria Hungary in strength.
The German fleet was also far stronger than the French and russian ones combined. So no blockade, no starvation, etc.
I disagree with Germany losing the first scenario.
Well Millions of Hungarian and Serbian Soldiers soldiers that used to fight on the side of the Central Powers were now fighting for the Entente, so it really isn't an easy victory for Germany.
Yes, but millions of Brit’s who fought on the side of the entente are no longer there.
Both sides are less powerful but the entente more so.
The central power did not nearly win mate. You’ve been playing too many video games.
@@hatefulgaming1800They really did nearly win though. If the US doesn't join, the central powers might actually have a shot at victory. Russia was dead and the primary reason for Central Power weakness at this point was the blockade of Germany. Without more American support Germany could hold out maybe long enough to gather up more resources from the east and push back. There's also morale to consider here. While yes the CP's victory isn't assured, unlike in WW2, Germany and the rest of the CP actually has a major chance at victory assuming they could get even a quarter of the luck that the Nazis got in 40-41. (France falling shouldn't have been possible. 40-41 is literally a German wank)
They did effectively beat the Russians so in this timeline where it's just France and Russia if Russia also fell in this timeline France is probably screwed. If Britain stayed neutral uber-germany (as German speaking Austria was given to Germany) imo would beat the Russians even without Austria-hungary.
So while the Central powers didn't nearly win in our timeline they did still beat Russia and that is in this scenario nearly half of their opponents strength.
Why would germany be under more pressure in the first scenario they have all of austria and czechoslovakia about 20 million more people to fight with and both of those countries were fairly industrial in that time it doesnt make any sense. Germany got a subject and more people that speak their language while russia got more disgruntled polish nationalists that possibly will revolt and sabotage the russians, in real life czechoslovakia with half the population of poland switched sides and joined russians to fight against austrians and the germans so why wouldnt already rebellious poles do the same but for russia?
Also, Germany doesn't get blockaded because the British stay out of it. The French navy has no chance blockading German trade against the German navy. If anything, the German navy will disrupt French trade.
Germany meanwhile will fully trade with the UK and US.
I see no way how France wins this without Britain.
if I had to make a guess:
in our timeline, germany and austria-hungary have two separate militaries with their own commanders doing their own things, though working together
in this timeline, germany's military leadership would have to basically carry every front at the same time, without having a second large military to lean on
this alternate timeline's germany would have a bigger army but it also has more fronts to cover as it can't rely on austria-hungary in the south
@@Megukagi
They more or less did that anyway. After one or even two years of war the Austrian army was completely done and not really able to stand up to Russia anymore.
They barely held the Italian front. Everything else was led and mostly defended by German troops, with Austria just doing auxiliary work.
@@Megukagi The Austrian army would be rolled into the German army though and be much more effective. Germany would most likely field 3 armies. One for the french front, One for the Russian front and one for the Balkan front.
Germany does have more resources, but maybe only on paper. I would assume the recent Austrian collapse meant that the actual integration of their infrastructure, manpower and industry could proof complicated and reduce the efficiency of them. At the same time it's very important to look at the military spending. From 1910 to 1914 German anf Austrian military spending doubled, while Frances stayed on the same level and Russias only increased 33%. So this earlier war means Germanys army is not nearly as well equipped compared to our timeline
Video suggestions:
1) what if Germany concentrated in attacking Russia first instead of France and Belgium in WW1?
2) What if NATO's able archer exercise in 80s triggered WW3?
3) what if Stalin listened to his spies of the Axis army build-up near its border and acted accordingly?
4) What if the French had listened to Belgian intelligence of possible German invasion through ardenne and reinforced it?
5) what if Hitler never redirected the german panzer divisions of the central army group to flank Kiev and just continued to Moscow?
6) what if the Belgians let the Germans pass in WW1?
You give interesting questions especially the 1st and 3rd one
So in short,
1) What if Germany won WW1
2) what if WW3 started in 1983?
3) what if Stalin wasn't a jerk?
4) what if the French weren't French?
5) what if Hitler listened to his generals?
i think the third one is the most interesting here. i could be a double sided sword tho. more divisions at the Start of the invasion. isnt all good. especially because the soviet Union still suffers from the purges during this time. and would cause more starting losses.
@@TheMormonGuy-ph that's the most American frame-up of questions with context LMFAO
@@TheMormonGuy-ph Germany definitely wouldn't have won ww1 by focusing on Russia lol
22:02 the last one look more interesting as it look like prequel for red alert game with soviet starting second world war
So, wait, Germany has more land and population directly integrated into its industry and army, pretty much all the Balkan nations are on the Central Powers' side, the British are not in the war and as a result, the Ottomans are in a much better position... and somehow, the Germans are in the same situation in the same timeframe that they were in OTL's WW1?
With the wider front against Romania and more Ottoman troops in the caucasus, the Russians should be folding a lot faster, while the French are left without British reinforcements for the first half of the war. How does this result in the war going the exact same for Germany unless they end it early? Yes, the Austro-Hungarians are gone, but apart from Hungary, every nation that used to be a part of Austria-Hungary is on the German side, plus Romania.
Croatia was a part of Austria,same with bosnia or Galicia all of them are not in the German alliance,plus the thing is Germany has the new land but it doesn’t have the troops of Austria Hungary.And the Ottomans surrender because of a siege of Constantinople the troops in the Caucasus don’t matter that much,because you can’t really push there
@@Das-ist-k-ein-VIRUShow would it not have the Austro-Hungarian troops, they're literally all organized under their own ethnic armies now, minus Hungarians and Croats, and the Croats aren't fighting germany.
@@astillia6073 Most of the Austro-Hungarian Army (88%) were a part of the K.u.K. Heer were 25% were Austrian and would stick to the Germans the other 75% were Hungarian,Romanian,Croatian,Italian and others and wouldn’t stick.
Because he hates Central Powers victory scenarios. Britain not being in the war means no blockade, even possible American investment and loans. It also means the removal of a million troops from the Ottoman Empire. So imagine if 300,000+ soldiers under Mustafa Kemal were fighting in the Caucasus instead, which would again require Russia to divert more forces there. The US would be reluctant to join as well if the UK isn't.
This should be a pretty confirmed Central Powers victory but sometimes people can't envision things they hate, even in fictional scenarios.
@@shamsishraq6831This isnt HoI4. You cant just send millions of men to the Caucasus. Or instantly somehow benefit from annexing Austria. The austro fascists for instance werent quite eager to become german
The scenario with Britain and Germany aligning seems the most interesting
the main thing i dont understand is at 15:49 where romania gets more of hungary instead of getting moldova from russia? why would they want to add even more hungarians instead of romanians/moldovans?
Moldova may have been desirable but Transylvania and a few bits beyond were always the big prize for Romanian nationalists, even if some of it wasn't even inhabited primarily by Romanians. They already saw no problem with annexing majority Hungarian areas in our timeline just for national pride.
Calamus?
First scenario would be the most interesting for a follow up, a German-British alliance is something that I don‘t see explored too often so it has a lot of potential
10:00 Bro really said ,,Hungary lost cuz why not"
Please continue the first scenario with the German-British Alliance. I mean the German and British Empires working together is a very rare possible history theme and I‘d love to see a continuation of it.
Wouldn't the Schliffen plan be more successful? The Russian economy and mobilization would be worse and they would be slow to get to the front. Without British support, the Belgians might be more willing to let the Germans go through their country. The French wouldn't have the British troops to help them slow down the initial Greman advance. Germany would be able to harass French shipping very effectively. There is a chance they could knock France out of the war in the first year.
The scenario where there is a moderate loss for Germany looks the most interesting as ww1 didn’t have to be the war to end all wars and could have been just another European War like Crimea or Franco Prussian War
Even tho It was delayed, I think it will be a Great Video
I don't think the Germans would allow their nation to be completely humiliated considering there where the one who was winning the war on the map. I think Germany would still accept to a peace deal with Britain and also give Possen to Russia and Alsace and the Saarland to France, but in return they would ask for concessions. Likely in the form of one Luxembourg and an expansion of their colonial territories against France, like an expansion of German Kamerun and Togoland.
Saarland and Posen hell no they were key industrial bases of the east and west and would've weakened the Germans for the next war also Russia was in no position to take Posen
Germany not being tied to the dead weight of Austria definitely opens up a lot more diplomatic possibilities. Primarily, they can hold the balance between Britain and Russia, and benefit from that flexibility. Awareness of this fact may lead to better decision-making concerning the naval arms race and their stance towards the Balkans. Italy being a strong German ally is almost a given in this scenario - they also have interests to East and West, and little to gain from conflict with Germany once the return of Italian territories held by Austria is accomplished.
I'd argue that without Britain joining, Germany's Schliefen plan would've worked better than IRL. IRL the French begged the British to hold their left flank with the BEF (without telling them that they would have an open left flank in turn) against the right flank of the Germans and they did holding them at the Battle of Mons.
Without the British to hold that part of the front Belgium might have been overrun and there is every chance that the Germans might have reached Paris and forced a surrender from France.
The French aren’t going to surrender simply because Paris is taken. This is real life, not hearts of iron.
@@hatefulgaming1800 The loss of a capital a second time (first time being franco-prussian war) would devastate french morale and weaken the army significantly, which would either have the french surrendering to get a less worse deal or getting fully occupied by the germans.
@@Gvazdika. That was a much weaker France fighting a war the people weren’t particularly interested in, Unless Germany is able to somehow take Paris in 1914 and not only continually hold off Russia but also not have Britain get involved the war won’t be over so quickly.
@@hatefulgaming1800 Considering that is damn near exactly what happened in the Franco-Prussian war, I'd say it's a fair possibility.
Not to mention the fact that with taking or surrounding Paris, the Germans would put a major strain on the French supplyline and industrial capacity.
As for if they could hold off the Russians in the east? They did that IRL. The German high command pulled several hundred thousand men from the western front because they thought they needed to hold back the Russians, but before those men had arrived the Eastern Generals had defeated-in-detail several Russian armies.
@@sander0209and that was a year after this timeline 1 year is a lot so i could see a slightly weaker russian army

He is a Kaiserboo lmao, he made Germany do the same against Russia though the war was after 1917, the end of their Grand Modernisation Program.
In the aggressive scenario, the schlieffan plan likely would have been MORE successful, not less. With some of Russian manpower being tied up in the baltics combined with the increased manpower of Germany due to an increase in size, they likely would be able to hold the Russians in favorable terrain. Especially considering that Britain isn't helping France. Italy would definitely not side with the Entente. The entire reason why they joined in our timeline was because the Entente offered them more land. At the very least they would stay neutral, if not join the Germans. Normally your videos are quite on top of the scenario, but this one seems to be out of your grasp, sorry dude.

If Italy side with Germany they would get a lot of territories like Nice, Corsica, Savoy, Tunis, Djibouti, Somaliland they can even take Piedmont and this is only direct control. They can puppet Serbia and Montenegro, their puppet states of Croatia and Albania will grow significantly. And they can also require war reparations from France and Britain. Italy would get good allies like Germany and Ottomans. Italian influence on countries like Greece, Bulgaria would be significant.
I highly doubt that any amount of money can surpass all of this
Austria: *collapses*
Germany: "free real estate"
I love how EVERY SINGLE OPTION is WAAAAAAAAAAY better for Germany in this set of timelines, regardless of any other outcomes.
Your videos are amazing! I really enjoy listening to all of your ideas for how things go! its really smart
The last scenario is interesting,a part 2 would be cool
Love your content! Thanks For this ❤❤❤❤
I hearby crown this man, as actually being first
“Honey, possible history just uploaded the follow up”
I would love to see a continuation
Amazing and delightfully through. Perhaps you vould collab with other youtubers and make a series of all of the outcomes? I think it would make for some awesome storytelling
I think I'd like a follow up to either the first or third outcomes. Both seem the most interesting with the Anglo-German rapprochement in the first or the very much empowered Italy in the third.
I really don't think that's how the last scenario would play out. Firstly the absence of AH would be arguably much beneficial to the central powers instead of this invaluable loss the video presents. To simple put AH was a failed state leaded by a bloated monarchy and extremely inefficient in dealing with it's resources and man powers. The army was a mess composed of different ethnicities that didn't have any real incentive to fight for a country that didn't represent them.
On this time line however, Austria is fully integrated on the hands of a far more competent Germany, the Czechs and Slovaks have their own stable state that at least have something to gain out of this war. Now, sure, the Central power would lack the Croatians and Hungarians, but that would be a worth price for having a strong Bulgaria and Romania at their side.
The central powers were also in a much worse strategic position in our timeline, AH and the Ottomans were both surrounded and fighting a shit ton of different countries at once. In this time line however, with Romania being in the central powers Hungary will quickly fall and Serbia would be the one cut out.
Italy would either remain neutral in the early stages of war or actually help the central power carve up Serbia without actually entering the alliance.
Serbia would fall much quicker and now we have a stronger Germany, Romania and Bulgaria invading Russia with some help of the Ottomans. So the Russian campaign should be even better for the Central powers than in our time line.
Now this is the time the UK would join the entente and I think we are neglecting the consequences of a delayed British intervention. Without a blocked in the early years, German economy isn't collapsing and the France campaign would have been better so there isn't the social turmoil and collapse of German living standard as in our time line.
There is also no way Italy will be joining entente, Britain was strongly opposed to an Italian Tunisia and France would under any circumstances accept to give up Niece, Savoy and Corsica. Even in a very unlikely scenario that they accept to just give up all of that to Italy, is still very unlikely that the Italians would join, considering that the Germans have just finished off the Russians and the central powers have Hegemony under Balkans, in this time line Germany is also a far more valuable ally to Italy and joining the entente would also shock the Italian economy, so they would stay neutral.
With a neutral Italy, a better win in the russian front, a still functional German economy, a total hegemony in Balkans and no capitulation by any of their allies there is simple no reason for a German surrender. They would push into France and defend the Ottomans.
The Germans are still not likely to make into Paris and there is no Ottoman revival, but they would be able to force a favorable peace deal. That I imagine could look something like this:
- Germany Annex Luxembourg.
- The entente recognize German east claims.
- France and Britain pay war reparations.
- The ottomans annex the rest of Arabian peninsula and the Sinai region.
- The ottomans annex Cyprus
- The Suez canal become controlled by both the British and the Ottomans in order to ensure neutrality.
Maybe Italy would join the Central Powers after the Russian collapse leading to it annexing Malta, Tunísia, Nice and Savoy, maybe even Corsica if they perform well enough.
What if the Papal States pushed for unification of Italy instead of Sardinia?(highly improbable, but interesting idea, especially if they do more crusades against the ottomans)
The Empire has fallen. Millions must be annexed.
20:00 there is simply no way Hungary wouldn't get the entire Transylvania region along with atleast a border correction with Croatia and Germany
(Potential) feedback: the music at the start is somewhat distracting, its a good song and would love to hear it midway, but it's a bit hard to follow over
Love this channel
11:10 I doubt that the second balkan war would happen, because Serbia, despite german backing of italian claims on albania, still manages to get coastal access. A major part of the escalation between the two states, was that Bulgaria didnt back Serbia on their albanian claims and when they were forced to give them up in return Serbia decided to not respect their agreement with Bulgaria over Macedonia. Forcing the bulgarian leadership to act now and not wait for russian arbitration over the matter. Overall i highly doubt the starting of the second balkan war in this scenario.
heres a wierd what if:
what if luxembourg, denmark, belgium and the netherlands tried to join german, germany refusing and then the benelumark fight germany to be a part of them or at least semi-integrated? its wierd but might be worth checking out
Really dropped the ball with this one man. Do you have some vendetta against a German ww1 victory? lol
15:45 isn't more likely that Romania would demand Bessarabia from Russia instead?
Yeeeeeah Again very interesting, Perfect, geography video
I feel the moderate German victory with British oversight was the most interesting.
A pretty signifficat improvement in quality!
I still have no idea which scenario I'd like to see a continuation on. But I really wanna see it!
If you’re going to continue this one, I find the idea of the British German alliance to be the most interesting timeline
My favorite branches were: Germany intervenes militarily into the Balkans, and Germany doesn't intervene in the Balkan war, and accepts British demand during the Hungary-sparked war
The German victory seems the most interesting alternate history wise.
The heavy entente victory would be the most interesting to me, due to its similarities to our timeline on the map, but the totally different history
Great video idea
Its so obvious this guy hates central power victory scenarios 😂
I love that you don‘t say, this would happen and give us a few seperate timelines for many different outcomes.
germany losing land on both sides while beating both sides is a bit weird. Britain asking germany to give posen to russia? feels super strange to reinforce on of their "ennemies" and weaken the only other country capable of opposing them, all that while germany pushed 1000km or more in russia's territory.
The german defeat scenario is so interesting, can you please make a part 2? (or is it 3?)
The last strategy seems very intresting
If you continue this scenario (which I hope you do) I personally would like you to continue either the first or the last scenario.
Wait, why exactly does the Schlieffen plan go more badly?
"They don't have Austria Hungary".
Yeah, but they have Austria and Czechia. Their Armies didn't just disappear but most likely got merged into Germany. The same goes for their mobilizable population.
What I see is a Schlieffen plan with a smaller front in the East, one central Command instead of Two and a Western Front without Britain.
I wish that you would have given a more active role to Hungary, the only thing they do is being a target but considering how their position was precarious they should have done everything possible to expand the revolution just to survive, perhaps by pushing for a revolution in Germany or Czechoslovakia while they were losing.
As a viewer I don’t mind unrealistic outcomes if they make for an interesting yet relatively balanced scenario
Video 2 of asking for What if everything went perfect for Scotland
Easily one of the best videos you've made, good job PH I hope you continue this scenario! IMO the first timeline is more interesting than the second, considering it's quite a lot different. 👍
Well made, with the oversight on all different outcomes
Im most interested in a follow up for the German Victory (number 2) as it is not an Entente Vicory and is like a Quick CP victory in WW1 except nothing drastic changed (apart from partition of A-H)
actually Number 1 would be great as well
Attempt 5 of suggesting: what if everything went perfect for Switzerland?
What if Argentina and Latin American Countries were as Wealthy as Canada, the USA and Australia? 🇦🇷
9:30, Russia would've also probably taken Memel, and Denmark would've been forced by Britain, France, and Russia to reannex Schleswig. Otherwise the treaty makes sense as a mild treaty.
You forget without Britain Paris would have fallen in our timeline it was mostly due to British troops diverting forces from the direct advance on Paris that the last bit wasn’t archieved.
Also without Britain the German Navy can start to Blockade France while all the dispersed fleets can safely return to Europe.
German industry isn’t crippled yet due to continued commerce.
How do i get you're map, because i remember that i had done it before but i can't remember.
I think the 1st scenario, with Germany suffering minor losses is the one that would be the most interesting moving forward.
the 3rd one is too similar to our timeline and the a german victory makes them too powerful imo
Definitely follow up on the last scenario.
I think the early war, after which Germany and Brittain allign with one-another, would be the Most interesting to continue
Alternative history channels when redrawing eastern europe:
Option A:Poland being under full german/russian influence
Option B:Poland gains more lands, becomes hegemon of the east, sometimes getting the same border with germany as today

It's almost like he hates Hungary, for whatever reason.
I think the first senerio would be the most interesting, seeing a sort of Cold War dynamic with the 1930s attitude would be fascinating, plus 7 years war call back with Britain and Germany teaming up
15:58 “De-FUCKto ruler” I like this better
I need to see a follow up video for ALL three scenarios
One of these days I really wanna see an alternative history video where Czechoslovakia isn't formed and what is now Slovakia remains a part of Hungary.
Italy would probably still go fascist, people often think that Mussolini's rise was just due to "vittoria mutilata" and that a greater italy would prevent fascism.
While the rethoric of the "vittoria mutilata" was a strong propaganda point for the fascists, the main reason for the rise of fascism was the "biennio rosso", basically, for 2 years the country was full of strikes and protests and Italy came really near to a communist revolution. If the scenario does not change this, then the rise of fascism is still very likely
11:26 wth is Québec doing there
I'd actually love a continuation to the last sub-scenario, ut gives solid fundament for nazis to come to power while also making important shifts between great powers. This world looks so similliar to ours, yet it differs so much
Make a part 2 for the first round
I want a video where Germany doesn't follow the Schlieffen Plan and goes on the defensive in Alsace, never attacking Belgium and instead focussing on Russia.
Love voting content. Excited for the Soviet Union one.
I mean, I am nut sure how big of an impact Austria Hungary not being there would have made in that Scenario.
Especially considering that the Schlieffen Plan very nearly succeeded in real life, and that was with Britain helping on the Western Front. If they didn’t join immediately upon the invasion of Belgium (which is also very unrealistic) France would most likely fall in the first few months.
You should continue doing the 2
Still love the lounge music
France wouldn't withstand the onslought of the schlieffen plan without british help.
1918 plc is defenitly the most interesting idea
As a polish person I see this as a absolute win
