This scenario is rather beatiful. But come on, why bother making seperate west Ukrainian and Belarussian national identities .. After all, Belarus woudl be fully unified under USP.
When you, a German, get hired by the Brits to fight in America against the local colonists, and somehow find yourself fighting against Poles and Irishmen:
Poland won the War with the Bolsheviks. Polish soldiers wanted to fight, but society wanted peace. Likewise, Lenin wanted peace. Being Polish is like being an American today, you have an identity from Texas, Hawaii, New Orleans, but I am an American. That's why Lithuanians (Belarusians) and Ukrainians said they were Poles. Unfortunately, Germans and Austrians supported nationalism and the awareness of being Polish, Lithuanian and Ruthenian at the same time as a citizen of the Rzeczpospolita, died. Additionally, Piłsudski's idea was not a federal state like the USA, but like Switzerland with cantons. The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth did not have a national character, but a cultural one regarding freedom and rights.
it was because of politics. Who knows what could've happened if they took the Soviet deal, and had a natural border along the Dnieper, perhaps they could've held out long enough for France to enter
@@Videntis.Historyi think they sent the dmowski guys for the peace talks and they took the land they deamed small enough to polonise fully bc they had the ethnicly pure poland in mind for some reason(i read it in some book so dont take it seriously)
I would consider the fact that Poland didn’t get reconquered by the Russians as a victory so why is the title the way it is? Maybe something like “what if Poland had an even greater victory in the Polish Soviet war”
Well before the war poland actually had bigger borders. Just because poland survived does not mean they won. That would be saying that mexico won the mexian american war because they didn't get completely annexed..
@@Lazardeve2 the difference with that is the USA had no intention of annexing all of Mexico the Soviets did want all of Poland that’s why people see the winter war as a Finish victory
@@Lazardeve2 Poland did not exist before then for 123 years and the demographics changed substantially during that period (and even before as Poland was in a union with Lithuania)
Ekhem, as a Polish person I can say it: We WON Polish-Bolshevik war. We've secured our independence, gain HUGE amount of territories AND show the WORLD that we don't ONLY LOSE conflicts. After warsaw miracle we made counteroffensive which resulted bolsheviks suing for peace and signing peace treaty at 18th of march 1921 in Riga.
Amazing video, needs a part 2 (for ww2) and possibly part 3 (for afterwards) too, kinda like the Neo-Byzantine trilogy Loved all of it, awesome video like always
I'm currently writing a story similar to this mine is a little different and set during and after WWII but it's kinda of crazy to me that both scenarios are so closely related in the timeline.
Finished watching this video, and I cannot wait for a part 2! Your maps are just amazing, so detailed with rivers and such! I wonder, what kind of maps do you use in your videos? Are they your own, or are they found online?
Hey Videntis, i have this funky idea: What if the Holy Roman Empire was ITALIAN and not German? I even have some key elements: -Instead of the Franks and Saxons, this alternate Holy Roman Empire was founded by the Longobards where a devout Catholic Noble, Valderic, usurped a firm arian King who threatned to destroy the Pope. -Valderic, seeking an alliance with the Pope, became the sworn protector and received the honourable title of 'Duke of Rome'. And moved the Empire's main Capital to Rome where he rebuilt the city from the damages of the Gothic Wars, was crowned Emperor by the Pope in Saint Peter's Basilica and proclaimed "Augustus" by the People in the Forum. Becoming Valderic I Augustus, moving his official residence to the Domus Tiberiana in the Palatine Hill, once the residence of the byzantine governor in Rome. -The Franks, who felt betrayed by the Pope made their own AntiPope and Marched towards Italy. The Longobards, helped by the Saxons and internal anti-Frankish resitances, mainly led by the Burgundians, defeated the Franks at the Battle of Turin, thus beggining the re-stabilization of Italy and the Valderican Renaissance. -The Valderican Renaissance is marked by a revival of Roman Artisian Craft, Roman Infrastructure and Roman Institutions. A new Roman Senate made of enriched Plebeians and Longobard Nobles was formed. -Valderic adopts a Golden Banner with a Black Eagle made with mixed Germanic and Roman Artwork. The Eagle, known in our timeline as a German Symbol instead, is cemented as an italian symbol.
Korona (Crown) Korona Królestwa Polskiego (Crown of the Kingdom of Poland) In Poland, the term "Crown of the Kingdom of Poland" first appeared in royal documents during the reign of Casimir the Great (1333-1370). However, at that time, it did not carry a coherent political ideology, serving rather as a substitute for the name of the Kingdom of Poland.
The term Corona Regni appears only three times in the documents of Casimir the Great, and all three instances are used by foreign chancelleries in connection with international treaties, which was common at the time.
The term "Crown of the Kingdom of Poland" referred to the state as an institution independent from the ruler, no longer, as in the era of patrimonial monarchy, his personal property. The name "Crown of the Kingdom" defined Poland as an indivisible entity, governed by laws and constitutional principles that stood above the person of the monarch.
Under Louis of Hungary, the ideology of the Crown of the Kingdom had already taken on a fully developed form. This term was primarily used to secure the position and independence of the Kingdom of Poland, which was in a personal union with Hungary.
In the times of the Commonwealth, the Crown was divided into the provinces of Greater Poland and Lesser Poland, which were further divided into voivodeships, and these into counties. After the union with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the formal term "Crown of the Kingdom" became a popular and convenient way to refer to the Kingdom of Poland. The ideology of the Crown of the Kingdom also influenced the terminology used at the court. From the late Middle Ages, state offices previously referred to as "royal" began to be called "crown" offices (e.g., Grand Crown Chancellor, Grand Crown Hetman, etc.). During the period of partitions, the term "Crown" was used as a common colloquial designation for the Polish lands.
Rome would've survived longer, may have been able to retake Anatolia fully when the Mongols collapsed. They'd be a lot stronger to repel early Ottoman (if they do form) attacks thus leaving the Ottomans weaker and possibly easier to conquer and Christianize. After 1453? Well I doubt Rome would be interested in colonization but They'd probably be forced to have colonies. Since even Austria and Germany were forced to have colonies, even Belgium
Every single time that the Czechs and Poles stabilize and enter an age of progress and success, the West and the East always has some hand to play to supress us even when they're our "allies"
Great video! I an saddened that there is no Ukraino-Polish cooperation and federalization, but you can’t have anything. Jeszcze Polska nie zginęła! Niech żyje Polska!
@@Videntis.History Polish politicians has different views of the country post war. The end result was a 30% of population that were ethnic minorities and many did not speak Polish. So the outcome was not great for stability.
not sure, here is the full paragraph In May 1921, the domestically divisive Peace of Tallinn was signed, ending the Soviets’ conflicts against Poland and Latvia, a valiant effort at detente. Russia was more than happy to cede all of Belarus to end the war, fearful of the Poles reaching the Black Sea, and being “persuaded” by France to aid Wrangel. Although the Black Baron was losing to the Bolsheviks, he remained strong in the South, and the Franco-British aid scared Lenin, who grew paranoid that the capitalists would discover a means to quell the revolution as they were already being trounced by the Poles. Poland expanded all the way to the Desna River, acquiring important cities like Chernigov, Bryansk, Smolensk, and Vitebsk, leaving Minsk far west of the border, easing Belarusian worries. Żytomierz, with its sizable Polish population, rejoined Poland, but Poland dropped away from Kiev to the Teteriv River. The southernmost border was along the Southern Bug River, with Winnica remaining in Polish. The Ukrainian fears were realized as Poland recognized the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, and couldn’t rename the Kingdom of Halych to Ukraine, secretly agreeing to distinguish any Ukrainian identity to a new Halician one, better for Poland and the Soviets. Latvia’s new border remained at the Velikaya, easily defendable. France was irritated by the Treaty, but Wrangel was all but defeated by the time the Treaty was ratified, so came to understand the Polish rationale. Although some in the military were disappointed by the result, they realized the holdable borders they secured, and Poland became the strongest state in Eastern Europe. Now the time had come to rebuild their lands they fought so hard to preserve.
@@Videntis.History the large gap of audio starts at 19:39 and stops at 20:19 thanks for filling in the audio cuts out this is what audio is missing In May 1921, the domestically divisive Peace of Tallinn was signed, ending the Soviets’ conflicts against Poland and Latvia, a valiant effort at detente.

Americans and English "repaired' the mistake. Poland showed in 1920 that it's motivated greatly really greatly to stop the communism. And then WW2 and Americans together with English helped Stalin capture large part of Europe to enforce communism in countries that didn't want this criminal regime.
@@goofyahh2243But it's not a war, it's a special military operation, my friend. Zelensky is a nazi and Ukraine is just a made up word. By the way, Putin the Great won 90 percent of the vote earlier this year.
Ruthenian was term (latin itself of Rus-Rusian, not Russian) for Ukrainians and Belarusians as Poland, nor Ukrainians and Belarusians recognized Muscovy's claim as heir of Rus, Poland refereed Ukrainians and Belarusians as Rus, while "Russia" was refereed as Muscovy, also Cossacks were mostly Ukrainian, only Don, Terek and Past-Ural cossacks were Russians, Kuban, Sloboda, Zaporizhian and well Hetman Cossacks were Ukrainians.
To me. Dmowski will always be a traitor. Instead of us getting more land and also having better relations with the Ukrainians and Belarusians(Pilsudski made a promise to save them from the Soviets), he sold them out and decided to settle for less. Pilsudski made his mistakes too later on when we had to modernize our military to prep for Germany but Dmowski really screwed us early on.
@Videntis.History To me(Im Polish) he was a traitor to Pilsudski's plan for what Poland was as the Commonwealth, a multi-ethnic nation/region where was Dmowski's group was nationalistic that would form the foundations of a Falangist ideology later on up to WW2 and wanted Poland and all new territory to be Polish and Catholic only.
@@Captpolak Też tak myślę. Dmowski robił krecią robotę Piłsudskiemu. Do dziś nie mówi się prawdy, szkoły lecą programem nauczania jakby wymyślonym w Moskwie. Cały czas trwa zmowa milczenia a nawet czynne szkalowanie polskich patriotów zawsze na korzyść Moskwy i jej wspólników w zbrodni.
But who Polish army was fighting against on south-eastern front beginning November 1918?:) Poland was fighting against Ukraine Republic for the most of 1919. The ugly truth.
So you claim that Ukraine Republic under bolsheviks rule was already considered a free country by Ukrainians? Ukrainian understand Kyiv under bolsheviks as their free capital? I thought so. Ukrainians do not see the difference between Ukrainians and Russians. One of the recent proof was when Zelenskyy called the missle that killed two people in Przewodów as Russian while NATO recognized it as Ukrainian missle.

Primarily, it was the West that was pushing for peace, fearing that "the balance of powers might get destroyed".
Definitely need a part 2. Happy Independence day Poland! 🇵🇱🤝🏻🇺🇸
4:48 Made me cry, I’ve never cried like that in any other alternate history video. My condolences to Poland.
Yeah the last radio transmission in 1939 always hits so deep
And knowing that they would be and 6 years under nazi and 37 under the soviets

Poland did win, but Dmowski and his nationalists fucked it up in the peace deal
Great Video, but not gonna lie Poland beeing called Wielkopolska (Greater Poland) and having capital in Małopolska (Lesser Poland) is ironic

Def need a PT.2
How kind of him for posting this video in this exact day. Niech żyje Polska!
