      @@patrioticbritishmapper8352 oh yes please, the point of changing the franco prussian war is to see how to goes (most likely) until WW2.
      Maybe communism would take control in france in opposition of british liberalism. (I know that in France communism was a real possibility and with a defeat around 1815 it would be very likelly instead of the classic fascist uprising wich is possible but as the empire would have lost prior it traditional values would be too close to the fascists.
      Yo do how you feel it of course just saying it can be super intersting

    Love the video! I definitely hope for a part 2.
    If you're taking ideas for scenarios, an interesting idea I've had is: "What if the Taiping were not beaten on the road to Beijing?"
    If that were to happen, and they'd take Beijing, then they'd have a shot at toppling the power of the Qing. It might be an interesting scenario. There was even a sort of line of succession from Hong Xiuquan to his son in place. The interesting thing would be to see how the "God Worshipping Society" develops, and how China as a whole develops, as the Taiping were in many ways even more isolationist than the Qing.

      Thanks. Interesting idea, plus it'd be a good way for me to learn more about the Taiping Rebellion, since aside from a brief summary from WhatifAltHist, I don't know too much about it.

      @patrioticbritishmapper8352  Год назад +4

      Interesting concept but I don't think it's very plausible, in otl the Hungarian half of the empire prevented them helping the French in the Franco-Prussian war and I don't think they really have a lot to gain from joining this timelines ww1, in all honesty I'd say that for Austria Hungary to join ww1 something has to happen to them, which I can't see happening in this world, though if Princip still assassinates a certain archduke in 1914... things could get interesting

    This is a very interesting timeline and hope for a part two.
    Here are some other suggestions for other alternate timelines
    What if Britain joined WW1 in 1916
    What if WW2 started a decade later (1949 - 1955)
    What if War Plan Red Orange happened (US war plan for war with The Anglo Japanese alliance)
    What if the Anglo Japanese Alliance remained post 1920
    What if the Empires of Europe survived to the modern age
    and What if the Cold War never ended.

      Most of all, I like the continued Anglo-Japanese Alliance idea. Looking at the impact of that on the world might be really interesting since this friendship between Britain and Japan faced opposition from Britain's dominion governments and the US. Choosing Japan over them could spark some real diplomatic strains.

    Also, I just found out something that you might find interesting: (North) Macedonia almost gained independence in 1912 as a monarchy, with Prince Harald of Denmark intending to be its king. Would this be something you’d wanna do? I feel like it could have big implications for the Balkan Wars and WW1.

    There's definitely potential for a part two in this scenario. Could we see the Third French Republic go the way of Weimar; toppled and replaced by a brutal totalitarian regime? Will the Anglo-Prussian Alliance be the start of this world's Allies? And what roles could Russia and Austria play in the future? I really hope we get a continuation here.

And I definitely want to give Austria a bit more screen time in the next one, safe to say a part two is coming, thanks for the support.

    This timeline is far better than our reality mostly because even though France is unstable it has not lost anywhere near as many lives as ww1 and same with the rest of the countries, and russia didn't fall to communism and if the next war doesn't happen for a while then Russia should be strong enough to survive and Britain should keep its colonies without ww1
