- Опубликовано: 6 ноя 2024
- After the end of the Prussian-Austrian War, Otto von Bismarck planned to join the Kingdom of Bohemia to the North German Confederation.
However, he was well aware that if he did so, he would make Austria his arch-enemy, who could oppose him in the following conflicts.

Austria is basically a domino
Push one and u push all of them
Really 😂
Best way to put it lol
Love my country
You are always using "lol" in comments its already annoying@@rewriting-history
Hungary being the most important domino
I think that the kaiser wanted to annex Bohemia, but Bismarck refused because he wanted to make Austria an ally. It could be also intresting, because in this scenario, after WW1, Bohemia could get back Silesia or at least parts of it.
Oh yeah, but I couldn't explore this aspect as I am working only with 60 seconds
@@rewriting-history recently youtube allowed shorts to be up to 3 minutes long, i already have seen multiple shorts that are longer than 60 seconds (like 1:30-2:00)
i think you could experiment with that, ill watch all of it 🙏
I think Prussia would indeed allow the Czechs to speak Czech because at the end of WW1. When Belarus gained independence the Germans funded and helped them reintroduce the Belarusian language.
They didnt want beef with austro hungary
King Wilhelm and his military officers did want to push forward for a complete and thorough victory. Bismarck had to restrain them
Yes, but if this happens they can ally France (or Russia) instead of Austria, which is really cursed, yet really interesting
@@rewriting-history highly doubtful that'd be the case.
Napoleon was adamant to curtail Prussian power. His grip on power hang in the balance: if he wasn't able to humble France's overreaching east neighbour with a decisive diplomatic or military victory, the inner opposition would find the opportunity to depose him
@@ΧΡΗΣΤΟΣΑΜΑΝΑΤΙΔΗΣ-β7μ probably russia
More over, Italy would easily take Trento, Bolzano, Trieste and dalmatia
For sure, Austria would be screwed.
Somebody commented that Austria-Hungary was like a domino, you push one piece and the whole thing collapses
Prussia could ally with Hungary, cause the second one would need protection against Russia, Romania, the Ottomans and Serbia.
It could even take place an earlier Anschluss, letting Italy to take some regions.
Well no, the czechs were opposed to an integration into a german nation. During the 48/49 they even tried to create there own state.
That’s true, they were offered to join in 1848 and strictly refused.
Yo he will annex the broken austrian empire then he can unite and make a holy Roman empire 😂
Possibly as it's already too unrealistic either way
not only kingdom of bohemia but also margrave of moravia
"Hungary would gain independence" I mean that's not really that different from our timeline is it not?
The real challenge Prussia would face in this alternate timeline is that, if Germany does annex Bohemia and Moravia, most European powers would immediately become opposed to the state and the alliance structure of our timeline may unfold much sooner and WW1 would likely break out much sooner too
I see the Austrian portion collapsing, so I can see Hungary getting total independence, but as they won't have a king that is not Habsburg, Europe can suffer a Hungarian Succession Crisis, which I really cannot explain in just 60 seconds
Prussia could try to get a Hohenzollern Prince on the throne and get an ally in Hungary, And could try to Ally with russia by helping them recover from the Economic Crisis caused by Crimean War
@@TEKerbalWouldn’t the Russians also try to get a romanov on the Hungarian Throne
Idea for a video:what if Kingdom of Two Sicilies united Italy?
I should do what if X united italy as a mini series in youtube shorts
Yeah like what if the papal states united Italy
@@rewriting-history
Yeah that would be extremly cool. @@rewriting-history
Yo a smaller version of this is my favorite alt history scenario.
To sum it up, Prussia, Italy, Romania, the Ottomans, and Russia invaded Austria and take some land, including Prussia, with small parts of the sudetenland, (I dont know how spell that) and then fight the French in the same way. The new factions are Russia, Germany, Italy, Serbia, Romania, Greece, Montenegro, against the UK, France, Austria, the Ottomans, Japan, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Bulgaria, with Murica joining later. Who wins? Idk.
honestly a scenario like that with an alliance between imperial France and imperial Germany I don't see who could oppose such alliance
Maybe they would ally with russia instead? IDK
It's basically just the Anglo-Japanese alliance plus Italy.
Austria could then re-unite with Bavaria, that could be a pretty functional state, provided they get to keep Slovenia and Trieste!
And Czechs, Poles (including Silesians who would form a distinct identity in this scenario) and Sorbs could then push for national and religious recognition within Prussia. I imagine that the Czechs would be pretty happy within Prussia, if it gave them cultural and religious freedom and some degree of local autonomy. Not sure about the Poles, though.
Eventually Prussia might split into German vs Slavic parts, or if it played the national cards well, it could become a bigger Switzerland, mostly German but with federatee West Slavic provinces. I imagine that if successful, such a federation might get also the Balts from Russia, all Polish regions from Russia, and potentially also win Galicia from Russia. But that’s probably a stretch.
Could you please make a video of what if romania joined the allies to regain territory lost in the Vienna Awards and even potentially Bessarabia
with this, ww1 would never happen and subsequently all these empires would still exist (maybe not russia but idk).
It most certainly would happen because at its core, it was a fight between Germany and Russia over eastern Europe, with the key prize being Ukraine and its fertile soil. Don’t forget this was the time when food was still scarce and having Ukraine basically meant being able to feed almost unlimited population, or in Germany’s case, allowing your entire population to work in industry.
WW1 was additionally an attempt of Germany to break through to the atlantic and get colonies, but this was always doomed, so the ultimate goal was domination over eastern Europe. Which was bound to conflict with Russia’s interest to do the same.
As ww1 didn’t actually resolve this conflict, we got ww2, which was fundamentally again about the same: Germany trying to wrestle eastern Europe (mainly Ukraine) out of the USSR.
It’s fascinating that the typical perception is that ww1 was about bosnia or balkans, and ww2 was about france. At their core, both wars were about eastern Europe, chiefly Ukraine, that was the war aim at least.
@ pretty sure germany would ally russia and france
Bismarck was very wise, but he was ultimatly in the wrong side of history
I think franco prussian war still happened but Austria will allied to napoleon III
Hmm. I think this would be a nice (unrealistic) starting point for a Franco-German alliance during an alternate WW1. At a minimum, you'd have Britain and Italy against France and Greater Germany because there's no way an early Anschluss doesn't happen here once the south German states are subjugated.
It'd be interesting material for a full video if you weren't busy with Red World.
Extremely risky as it breaks the balance of power and could lead to outside intervention.
Though if they successfully did so, they would likely also take austrian silesia and need to co-operate with Russia in the short term to avoid an eastern front.
What if the Anarchists won in Ukraine during the Russian Civil war
I think Germany would move in to Seize Austria and unite with the Southern States, still leading to a Franco-Prussian war that would end relatively the same way.
i was thinking of that today
Make a full-length video on if it happened and we still got the IRL Franco Prussian war with its German Victory. Maybe an Anglo-German, or a Russo-German Alliance. @rewriting-history
I personally think one interesting possibility is if they decided to pursue Große Deustchland and annex all German speaking Territory in Austro Hungary, and giving some of the land Italy wanted to them as long as there were no German speakers, of course Hungary becomes independent and Galicia is given to them because no power wanted to see the already massive Russian state get even stronger altought perhaps the Germans push for it to get the Russians on their side. and the Czechs are given their own nominally independent state under the Germans while Serbia eats up most southern Balkan Territory. With Romania taking advantage and seizing south transylvania while a compromise is forced keeping north transylvania in Hungary. This would probably not lead to a Franco Prussian war as Bismarck would be too scared that Britain would join. If they did however they would probably bring in the Italians promising them Savoy and Corsica, and maybe Tunisia, although they hadn't taken Libya yet they could still make use of it. Italy would likely perform as well as they did in the Brothers war but still get what they were promised to keep them an ally, as Germany without Austria Hungary wouldn't have many allies.
Although I did just think such a move would drive the rest of the German states into opposition making the unification tricky, but possible if he can play his cards right like he did Irl
I think that it would be more interesting if austria survived and then when prussia attacks France they interve on the war on the side of France now if that would be enough for a Prussian defeat I don't know but it would be something an Austrian French Aliance if they do win
Pretty sure a sunken battleship can’t take over a landlocked country
So Czech Republic/Bohemia is Op ,I will take it as a compliment
i always do this in vici 3
germany forming would just a huge blob
What if they only took the german parts, sudetenland
austrian problems
I want Bismarck's Bohemia
But what if Austria was destroyed fully after Prussian-Austrian war?
Topic for another video for sure
@ like, annexing German speaking lands, Russia occupying Galicia, Independent German allied Hungary, Maybe independent Croatia.
@@АнуарКажибековwouldn’t Croatia just become part of Hungary maybe in a Personal union with whoever becomes king of Hungary .
The Nprth German Confederation wanted to join the kingdom Of Bohemia but they Wanted to stay Indepent
Why no franco Prussian war I mean Bismarck still wanted a unified German empire which included alsace Loraine
I think in this scenario where Hungary breaks away and Russia takes Austrian Galicia , Austria would be too weak to resist unification with the German empire thus I think it becomes a kingdom within the German empire , thus Bismarck after the Franco Prussian war would get his unified German empire .
With Austria taken out of the picture in the Balkans this strengthens the Russian Position in the Balkans , since the Germans were more interested in competing with Britain for a colonial empire and with no Austria in the Balkans, this prevents the Great War
And ww1 wont happen
Ofc most based country in Austria-Hungary was glorious land of Czechia👑❤️🗣🔥 (least nationalist Czech tho) xd
We are all czech nationalists
@@rewriting-history and Bulgaria lovers❤️🔥
انا خسرت اول ٥٠/٥٠ و أرلي بعد 😢
What if Bavaria joined Austria-Hungary
i think prussia would ally Russia and italy in this scenario
.....
ال c6 بهذي اللعبة مرة sus
It’s delusional to think the Czechs would see this as liberation, they would be oppressed far more than under the Habsburgs, they were able to speak czech anyways and there is no Protestants in czechia
The script was written by a Czech, who gave this opinion. I guess he knows better and has done his research
Oppression wouldn't be too unrealistic, given the fact that Bismarck hated Slavs and wanted to eradicate them completely. It's not unlikely that the Czechs would face the same oppression and Poles and Sorbs
@@stegosaurus-wm1kh exactly, just look at Poland, Catholics were also oppressed, and czechs were Catholic not protestant like this youtuber claims
@@rewriting-history well your friend clearly hasnt bothered to actually research German history, German oppressed Catholics and treated the Polish verty bad as Slavs and Catholics, guess what Czechia is....
Bismarck had the chance to end France but he didn’t take it.
Britain and Russia would never allow a complete and thorough destruction of France.
The key to Bismarck's success was the fact that he always made sure to isolate his target from intervention from other great powers
@ This was a joke about hating the French People
Wow
Ok
Victoria 3 ahh peace deal
Yeah lol
