@@aaronTGP_3756 Just Poland in general, it’d just depend on how long or in depth the video would be. Even before those eras there’s a lot of opportunities to change things with the Teutonic Order, Russia, and a potential union with Hungary.
“Against all conceivable odds, the Polish Calvary charges routed the German panzers when Jesus Christ himself came down from the heavens and blessed the Pope’s rifles.”
I think this would boost Sweden's chanses at winning the Great Norther War because with habsburg domination lowerd/gone The Ottomans would be in a stronger position and it was close that the Ottomans joined Sweden's side in the great nothern war. Plus with Gustav Adolf not dying in the 30 years war he would be able to rule and possible create a stronger Sweden
I figured something similar, I can see Sweden and the Ottomans actually materialising their good relations into a permanent military alliance to counter Russia and keep the HRE/Germans in check. Frankly, I even see France and Sweden deciding to work together rather to ensure the British, Prussians, Poles and Russians do not eclipse their dominance instead of becoming rivals - thus creating an informal triple alliance between them as France and the Ottomans were already established longstanding allies.
If anyone's interested in Early Modern German warfare I warmly recommend Schwerpunkt's videos, in this case the one of the battle of Freiburg and Wallenstein but also (mostly focused earlier of course) about the Landsknechts. PS the reflections on tradition and modernity in function of the confessional struggle are also powerful
Who do you think you're going to convince on this channel? Honestly, you would have more chances if you went to a Mr Beast video than in this "history" hole.
We shouldn't forget the still large presence of the Hussites (radical Christians who came before the actual Protestants in the 1300's) within Bohemia (aka now Czechia 🇨🇿) and how their church could survive and possibly spread out as they thrive.
@@richarderikssonhjelm8838 Fair point and there was actually a point in time where both Orthodox AND Protestant Christianity could have united as a singular church structure! Unfortunately, both sides saw eachother as equally heretical and ejected such proposals! :(
Hi! I know your channel through Videntis! And this video is amazing! And I like how much more possible it is for the Ottoman Empire to survive into modern age in this timeline! Thank you!
There is no chance an Ottoman Empire of that size would survive, particularly retaining its more volatile Slavic and Greek territories. Inevitably, the Russians will come knocking at their door. Assuming Russian expansion occurs similarly in our timeline, the Ottomans and Swedes would likely work together as another comment pointed out, so perhaps Russian expansion into Ottoman territories may not be as expansive or even repelled. Despite the Tsarist threat, the rise of ethno-nationalism and an unclear path to building a unified national identity amongst the multicultural citizens will result in quite a fair bit of nationalist revolutions. We simply cannot predict whether the Ottoman administration will be able to figure out a way to appease all of its citizens - regardless if they were able to industrialise alongside with the other European powers.
@@Noor-rk9sf Well, they do not needed to keep the entirety of the Balkans. Just Albania and Bosnia are fine with me. What important here is that the Ottoman Empire continued to exist to make sure that the Middle East is stable.
@@lerneanlion fair enough. The state of the Middle East completely depends on three main factors: 1. Whether Turkish nationalists still hijack the Ottoman government and subsequently allow Turanists and fellow Turkish nationalists to oppress the non-Turks. 2. British, Russian and French colonial ambitions and if the Ottomans, through diplomacy and military might can successfully subvert these ambitions. Perhaps in this timeline, the French revolution resulted in a Bourbon constitutional monarchy, thus, the French military and elite were restricted in jeopardising their relations with the Turks unlike what happened in our timeline. 3. Arab nationalism, albeit, this was a direct response to the weakening Ottoman military, the sudden oppressive policies by Turkish military governors in late 1800's, ofc, British meddling and Egypt achieving full autonomy.
@@Noor-rk9sf If the Arabs wanted to leave, then a war between them and the Turks is inevitable. But as long as the other European powers did not come to mess things up, the Arabs may be able to draft the nation according to their own desires and as long as they recognized the Sultan in Constantinople as the Caliph.
@@lerneanlion that was already the system in place for Hejaz, Egypt and a lot of Arab vassals though. The Turks didn't directly governed Arabia outside of Levant and modern day Iraq. It was British intervention and a direct reaction Turkish nationalist elements in the Ottoman military governors that led to the upper class of these Arab states to declare sovereignty. Similar occurrences happened in the Balkans with either Russia or Austria-Hungary as the agitators instead of the British.
A great video idea would be what if Manuel Komnenos won the Battle of Myriokephalon and completed the Komnenian restoration of the Eastern Roman Empire
Honestly, that's not the PoD I would go for for Manuel Komnenos. Winning that specific battle and taking Iconium (which was the original goal of the campaign) would not have changed things overly much. It would've weakened the Sultanate of Rum for a time sure, but it would not have led to the natural restoration of Roman control over the Plateau. This is because the Turks weren't overly reliant on cities and were steppe horse archers and you generally don't beat steppe horse archers in set piece battles. And frankly, the setup for the Battle of Myriokephalon was terrible and the campaign was almost doomed from the start. The better PoD would be 15 years previously when Manuel chose to make peace with the Turks and shift his focus westward for the next fifteen years and make him choose instead to keep grinding on the Turks. Because that's how you defeat them, by ingloriously grinding away at them by campaigning into Turkish held lands year after year. Even better would be to have Manuel execute Andronikos Komnenos for one of his various treasonous acts. Popular history likes to blame the Angeloi for the 4th Crusade and the sack of Constantinople, but it was actually Andronikos that did the real damage. Isaac Angelos was just the wrong man for the job for dealing with the mess left by Andronikos. He would've made for a decent Emperor in better times.
Better: Manuel Komnenos is just as focused on Anatolia as his father John II, rather than wasting time against Hungarian campaigns and adventures in Egypt and Norman Sicily. Then perhaps, a full reconquest could be done.
I would like to recommend a concept for a new series you could do. The idea is that you take the place of a historical leader, and you choose what decisions to make as that historical leader based on what would be the most beneficial for the nation the historical leader you chose ruled over. The way you would go about doing this is you would base your decisions off of the knowledge you had at your disposal at the time. For example, you could do a video where you take the place of Louis XIV and you choose how you would expand the size, influence and power of France in the 17th and 18th centuries. Or you could take the place of Louis XV and decide how you could preserve the French empire in America and India. Perhaps you could even take the place of Louis XVI and decide how you could prevent the french revolution if you were in his position. A criticism you could levy at this idea is that it’s too similar to the series you’re already doing on “What if everything went perfectly for X”, but I disagree. Firstly, this series is about making decisions as a single person, not for an entire nation over the course of hundreds of years. Secondly, with your “What if everything went perfectly for X” series, you utilize the benefit of hindsight. With this series, you limit yourself to the knowledge of your chosen leader. You Don’t HAVE to do it this way, you could utilize the benefit of hindsight for this series too, but limiting yourself this way would help differentiate this series from your “What if everything went perfectly for X” series. You might as well try this idea on for a video and see how it performs. If it performs badly, you don’t have to continue it. But if it performs well, you could have another successful series on your hands. It is low risk, high reward. With how many historical leaders there are, the possibilities for this series are limitless! Some ideas for historical leaders to make videos on are Seleucus, Justinian, Louis the Pious, John I, Charles V, Phillip II of Spain, Charles XII, Peter III, Napoleon, Charles X, Napoleon III, Kaiser Wilhelm II, and so many more!
I would love to see a timeline where england is bound to the HRE, so much could be possible, imagine a giant germany stretching from prussia to england
@@buni1934 I watched it two months ago, I forgot most but I remember it was very bad. He basically made a big introduction, the treaty and then "we will literally never know".
This is a great video, Mr. Possible History. The Protestants winning the 30 years war made the Habsburgs lose their power and position in Emperorship of the HRE and not to mention paving the way for France to become a dominant power in Western Europe but being checked other European powers for fearing Europe being dominated by the French. I love your collaboration alternate history scenario with Videntis, for you two are perfect for these videos. This is an excellent masterpiece, my friend, and please keep the great remember you are worthy of the respect and recognition you deserve and always keep sight of who you are, and remember it! Here are some engaging scenarios for future videos: What if Shedaze Musfta, son of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, had never been executed in order by his father and instead succeeded his father as the new Sultan of the Ottoman Empire? In what direction would Mustafa as Sultuan lead the Ottoman Empire? To what direction and how his reign be different than his predecessors? What would laws, reforms, and policies be like, and how beneficial would it be for the Ottoman Empire? What if Herny VIII was elected to become the new Holy Roman Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire? How would the HRE be different under Herny VIII? Would the HRE and England unite some empire, and would there be a dual monarchy or personal union between the two countries? How did this affect the history of the British royal family? What if the Mughal Empire never fell but remained stable, able to unify all of India and expand South Asia? Could a mighty Mughal Empire take some influence in the Middle East along with Africa and conquer Persia with its might? If so, what would be the consequences of Persia under the Mughals' control, and would there be a conflict with the Ottomans in the future? Which of the three scenarios do you like best, Mr. Possible History? Which of the three of them are your favorite and why?
I'm almost certain that this scenario would lead to Sweden 🇸🇪 becoming a European juggernaut, if not on the continent, then on the Baltic as a whole. They already proved themselves empire material with King Gustavus Adolphus, so it's likely that the Swedes would be more prepared if the Great Northern war were to happen. The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth may also be more weakened with this victory, leading to an earlier partition perhaps.
Not necessarily. Bohemia had close ties to Poland for centuries, meaning that with the removal of the Habsburgs and Poland-Lithuania's far more lenient religious policies, it is not impossible for the Bohemian nobility to elect the king of Poland as king of Bohemia, considering a Polish prince was elected king of Hungary and Bohemia after George and Mathias died and the two kingdoms could've stayed united if not for Mohacs. And even without that, sandwiched between Austria and Brandenburg-Prussia, Bohemia is quite likely to align with Poland, threatening Brandenburg and Austria, while also providing a distraction to let Poland fight any attackers on more equal grounds.
Fun facts the aftermath of the 30 years war is when my family immigrated from Germany to the US, they lived in the northern part of Germany at the time, Holstein-Kiel i believe
Interesting, but I really feel this tips the timeline towards Spain, Austria, Poland, and Russia teaming up against the Ottomans, while the HRE, Sweden, and England are busy in a staring match with France, while tentatively agreeing to leave Spain, Austria, Poland, and Russia alone, for the sake of weakening France by weakening the Ottomans.
Honestly I would see kind of the opposite effect. Like, Spain and Austria would probably be nearly completely focused on France, because a weak HRE means free space for France to expand into, so any major military action against the Ottomans could probably be exploited by an opportunistic France
Awsome video, I'am from Czech republic, and i would say, that the estates would get power, if Czechia was reconuered by the protestant powers, and king would be elected, like with Fridrich of Falc. Also, i have seen some stock videos, and i want to tell you that i don't like them, the videos where are only maps, or some pictures is better.
Would love to see a what if everything went perfect for Canada. Alternate history doesn’t often cover Canada unless it’s being annexed by America but I think there’s so really interesting possibilities. If Britain had been far more dominant in the war of 1812, that likely would’ve only led to minor territorial exchanges and really only northern Maine but it would’ve put them in a far better position for negotiations regarding the Columbia District a few years later. I would also assume that in the scenario where America doesn’t have any of that land, they don’t buy Alaska leasing to Britain annexing it from Russia during the Crimean War. Just some food for thought off the top of my head but it would definitely be an interesting scenario to look into
I find it interesting that you didn't really comment on religious tensions going forward. Protestant Bohemia and Catholic Poland especially would be interesting states to consider when going into the modern era. Perhaps in an attempt to keep Silesia in the days of rising nationalism, the Czech people would more widely embrace a pan-western-slav ideology, they might even be the power to ally with the Russians, possibly even the Prussians, in an attempt to divide Poland. The Prussians want the coast, the Russians want the Ruthenian/Orthodox areas and Bohemia could possibly claim central Poland and try to make a pan-nationalistic union state that could see them target Slovak and Sorb areas as well.

Concludion: if protestants would have won the 30 years war, the Holly Roman Empiere would have deceased earlier and not in 1805, Napoles would have become independant from Spain and probably absrobed by France, as well as half of Belgium and Luxemburg with the cooperation of the Dutch and Catalonia and Milan would have fallen in French hands
For who would rule Bohemia, personally I think the choice is obvious in your scenario. The Swedish, in a sense. If Gustavus Adolphus had remained alive for the duration of and after the war, keeping Sweden in the war for the entire duration and even leading the march on Vienna, he would want a serious concession towards Swedish power within the HRE. The protestant lords within the HRE wouldn't want to give such a concession as the throne of Bohemia to him personally though after his earlier annexations of land. But he had an illegitimate son, Gustav Gustavsson, who served in the Swedish military, and was even the governor of occupied lands during the war. After the war he was recognized as part of the House of Vasa, and as Gustavus Adolphus' son (though his illegitimate birth meant his line could never claim the throne), and he was even given rule of some lands Sweden had taken during the 30 years war, as Count of Nystad. Gustavus Adholphus, as a means to secure influence within the HRE, would have gladly put his illegitimate son on the throne of Bohemia. And I think, that with the provision that Bohemia could not be inherited by the Swedish crown if Gustav Gustavsson were to die without a male heir, the protestant lords within the HRE would also gladly accept this, as it would tie Sweden and the HRE closer to each other, and solidly prevent Hapsburg attempts to reclaim Bohemia.
A Protestant Bohemian king means Prussia doesn't have to fight for it. Royal marriages can eventually cause a Bohemian-Prussian Union. If Bohemia and Prussia cozy up, after this alternate war, Austria probably goes along with it because they know they can't afford to be fighting over that when they have the French to worry about. Either way, there is less pressure on Protestant nobles to convert, as some did in our timelime, and a few more Protestant nobles mean more options for Royal marriages which will also impact things.
Also right after 1620 battle of white mountain and Recatolization with new german settlers that strenght the population of "Sudetenland", wich in this alternate reality wouldnt be case, and only germans would settle from allied protestant countries to help repopulate some areas after 30 year war, wich would be more bilingual when protestant czechs used mostly reformed czech alphabet and literature from Jan Hus. this could led to better connections between germans and czechs, and not execution or deportation of czech nobles.
I thought it would be very likely that a Hohenzollern would be put onto the Bohemian throne right from the start, if just to create a clearer great power in the HRE against Austria. French protestants would emigrate to settle the relatively depopulated eastern and northern german lands, much like what happened in the 18th century. With France clearly on the protestant side, this could happen rather amicably - much like a colonialization of the new world, France would support emigration to further solidify their influence in the HRE. This might also lead to France actually developing a colonializing population, which it severely lacked in our time, meaning that French Louisiana and Canada actually becomes a big and important colony.
@@NeverEverClever No, it would _very_ obviously pass to Friedrich V. And no, France wouldn't "colonize" the HRE lol. And no, you got the French colonies surviving out of your.
@@genovayork2468 Friedrich V died to the pest in 1632, thus would not be around. "And no, you got the French colonies surviving out of your." maybe reread what you write, that is unintelligible.
Going by that graph of population at the 10 minute mark, really concerned by the fact that the low countries have as many people as Poland, but also it's actually a bit curious why Italy, France, and Spain all had populations that fell off a cliff as they're now less than or equal to the population of the UK. Also the really low population of Poland (seriously what are you doing with so much unsettled land?), explains a lot about why the swedes were able to conquer so much.
Ontem eu comecei a ficar interessado na dinastia Habsburgo e tava jogando um jogo com mapa da guerra dos 30 anos, também vi o único vídeo que conheço da vitória dos Habsburgo. Hoje apenas 1 DIA depois vejo dois vídeos sobre isso. Que coisa estranha né?
I'd love to see a vid on if the Great Heathen invasion went even better for the Vikings, giving Denmark full control over Britain. Obviously they wouldn't be able to hold it forever but a Britain culturally tied more to Northern Europe than Western (and one that probably never has the Norman invasion) would have interesting implications going forward
I also didn’t know Sweden fought in the 30 years war. I’d also love an everything perfect for Sweden video, as they once controlled much of Scandinavia and if they kept it I doubt they would have started their neutrality policy. Great vid, looking forward to more
i immagine that the war could end with France enlarging , but at the end fighting against the protestant : i mean fighting against a tired and crumbling complex monarchy like Austria was one thing , fighting against a new german power ( maybe Bohemia would split between Prussia and Saxony rather than be an independent kingdom ) backed by many countries of a different religion with english and swedish support , is totally another thing . Richelieu/Mazzarino would advise to enter the war with the Habsburg this time , in order to not make the Protestants win . So the war would have a different second french phase and will continue and restore the catholics .
Maybe another way Prussia gains Silesia is by taking it during the peace deal, or by appealing to the bohemians by promising then land and/or money and protection against the austrians.
can be true, after 1620 battle of white mountain and Recatolization with new german settlers that strenght the population of "Sudetenland", wich in this alternate reality wouldnt be case, and only germans would settle from allied protestant countries to help repopulate some areas after 30 year war, wich would be more bilingual when protestant czechs used mostly reformed czech alphabet and literature from Jan Hus. this could led to better connections between germans and czechs, and not execution or deportation of czech nobles. so most likely in partition of silesia between upper and lower, or for Slavic Sorbia.
It irritates me that in this timeline Lusatia was still ceded to Saxony from Bohemia, as it makes absolutely no sense. Saxony gained Lusatia for helping the Habsburgs suppress the Bohemian revolts during the 30 years war, but in this timeline both the Saxons and Habsburgs of Austria lost the war, so they have no business having Lusatia, Lusatia should still lay within the Bohemian lands. Also, I highly doubt that Poland would attack Bohemia over Prussia, since Prussia wanted Silesia for its good borders on Poland. It is more likely that Poland would team up with Bohemia to crush Prussia once and for all and end its streak of good luck while also reclaiming their old territories back. I'm also uncertain if this weakened Austria would really want to push its luck by attacking Bohemia again since the Ottomans were still a huge threat to them in the south
what would happen to Denmark-Norway, as Christian the IV didnt lose in Germany. Meaning Denmark-Norway wouldnt be in a large debt that ruined the danish economy.
electors "Hey England, you want the tittle of Emperor?" England "Wait what why?" Electors "France" England "i am the hair to Charlamagne, Augustus and Constantine, hence fourth England is the Empire"
What would relations between France and Spain in the 1500s and 1600s be like if the Habsburgs married into the Trastámara line and gained control over Spain? Besides the following, what else would be different and what would be the butterfly-effects? » No figure as powerful as Charles V? » Habsburgs are confined to Austria? » No close cooperation such as was historically between Spain and Austria?
The idea that the HRE would elect a king of Britain as the emperor is just ridiculous on the face of it. The British monarchs have no connection at this point to the HRE. The Swedish Kings at this time, with their control over territories like Bremen, Werden, and Pomerania might have a chance at being elected Emperor, but the best possibility for an outside monarch to get this position would be the Danish Oldenburg line. However, the chance of the Danish Kings at getting this position is far out classed by the electors of Bavaria of the Wittelsbach line. They are the true contenders to the disgraced Habsburgs for both the tile of Emperor *and* the crown of Bohemia. Their rivalry with the Habsburgs was, ironically, part of the cause of the Thirty Years War and they would most certainly benefit the most from a Protestant victory.
What if Italy didn't join the Axis in WW2? Would Germany have still gone into the Balkans and Middle East without Italian misadventures in those theatres?
is it possible that without other powers to challenge France that they aid Sweden in the northern war to some degree to keep other powers splintered and to keep themselves as the strongest power in Europe?
Ah huuuh, no Like HELL no, for the simple reason that France was ruled by Louis XIV for most of the war and there was the Spanish succession war, which would make an even larger coalition against France. Besides Louis XIV was pious Catholic and the old protestant-France alliance was already broken. Not France itself, however the other protestant states may help Sweden further
Quite a few flaws, firstly the treaty of westphalia would most likely be the same but with much more larger consessions to the protestant league, this means prussia never gets a part of pomerania and it is given entirely to sweden, france would take artois besancon the bishopric of metz but would not take franche comte just yet, this would also mean louis xiv's path pretty much just gets a little bit better as a coordinated alliance would continue between mazarin and adolfus, and in this timeline all of louis xiv's 4 wars would happen the first two being largely sucessful gaining franche comte and flanders and the last two being moderately sucessful which would mean that spain falls on french hands and all of its possetions, as austria is too weak to lay claim to spain entirely, lorraine would also be ruled by frnech influence butnot directly annexed, but russia would still poke little bites into the ottomans making the decline of the empire be a bit faster than what you said in the video, and if the hre was looking for another emperor its first choice is most probably poland despite its dramatic decline, second choice would be the dutch or even the swedish crown, but the english wouldnot be considered as hanover is not yet taken, and therefore had basically no way of even defending the hre

Ottomans touching Naples would break alliance with France however, their alliance is already on shaky grounds since the Habsburgs are weakened but even after the Italian wars France may no longer have such direct interest in Italy because they were kicked out, but they would undoubtedly in an attempt to bolster their hegemonic status protect Italy from muslims. And the Ottomans cannot win such a fight because its France in modern era with 300k men. Same for HRE states paying tribute, besides Austria France would refuse anyone else hitting their possible influence zone and the Ottomans cant stop France especially not if France is on the defensive side and therefore the other possible coalised nations will not be as willing to make the final step of attempting to fight that lol

Similar occurrences happened in the Balkans with either Russia or Austria-Hungary as the agitators instead of the British.

A great video idea would be what if Manuel Komnenos won the Battle of Myriokephalon and completed the Komnenian restoration of the Eastern Roman Empire
Honestly, that's not the PoD I would go for for Manuel Komnenos. Winning that specific battle and taking Iconium (which was the original goal of the campaign) would not have changed things overly much. It would've weakened the Sultanate of Rum for a time sure, but it would not have led to the natural restoration of Roman control over the Plateau. This is because the Turks weren't overly reliant on cities and were steppe horse archers and you generally don't beat steppe horse archers in set piece battles.
And frankly, the setup for the Battle of Myriokephalon was terrible and the campaign was almost doomed from the start.
The better PoD would be 15 years previously when Manuel chose to make peace with the Turks and shift his focus westward for the next fifteen years and make him choose instead to keep grinding on the Turks. Because that's how you defeat them, by ingloriously grinding away at them by campaigning into Turkish held lands year after year.
Even better would be to have Manuel execute Andronikos Komnenos for one of his various treasonous acts. Popular history likes to blame the Angeloi for the 4th Crusade and the sack of Constantinople, but it was actually Andronikos that did the real damage. Isaac Angelos was just the wrong man for the job for dealing with the mess left by Andronikos. He would've made for a decent Emperor in better times.
Better: Manuel Komnenos is just as focused on Anatolia as his father John II, rather than wasting time against Hungarian campaigns and adventures in Egypt and Norman Sicily. Then perhaps, a full reconquest could be done.
Possible History and Videntis. One of the best collaborations ever

I would like to recommend a concept for a new series you could do. The idea is that you take the place of a historical leader, and you choose what decisions to make as that historical leader based on what would be the most beneficial for the nation the historical leader you chose ruled over. The way you would go about doing this is you would base your decisions off of the knowledge you had at your disposal at the time. For example, you could do a video where you take the place of Louis XIV and you choose how you would expand the size, influence and power of France in the 17th and 18th centuries. Or you could take the place of Louis XV and decide how you could preserve the French empire in America and India. Perhaps you could even take the place of Louis XVI and decide how you could prevent the french revolution if you were in his position. A criticism you could levy at this idea is that it’s too similar to the series you’re already doing on “What if everything went perfectly for X”, but I disagree. Firstly, this series is about making decisions as a single person, not for an entire nation over the course of hundreds of years. Secondly, with your “What if everything went perfectly for X” series, you utilize the benefit of hindsight. With this series, you limit yourself to the knowledge of your chosen leader. You Don’t HAVE to do it this way, you could utilize the benefit of hindsight for this series too, but limiting yourself this way would help differentiate this series from your “What if everything went perfectly for X” series. You might as well try this idea on for a video and see how it performs. If it performs badly, you don’t have to continue it. But if it performs well, you could have another successful series on your hands. It is low risk, high reward. With how many historical leaders there are, the possibilities for this series are limitless! Some ideas for historical leaders to make videos on are Seleucus, Justinian, Louis the Pious, John I, Charles V, Phillip II of Spain, Charles XII, Peter III, Napoleon, Charles X, Napoleon III, Kaiser Wilhelm II, and so many more!
This is an excellent idea. I hope PH sees your comment and does as suggested.
Yea this is a really good idea.

I would love to see a timeline where england is bound to the HRE, so much could be possible, imagine a giant germany stretching from prussia to england
you know its a good video when my 2 favourite and underrated youtubers collabe to create absolute masterpieces, Please continue all of your stuff!
Lol, both are bad videos.
@genovayork2468 the catholic video is very bad but this one is still manageable
@@buni1934 I watched it two months ago, I forgot most but I remember it was very bad. He basically made a big introduction, the treaty and then "we will literally never know".
This is a great video, Mr. Possible History. The Protestants winning the 30 years war made the Habsburgs lose their power and position in Emperorship of the HRE and not to mention paving the way for France to become a dominant power in Western Europe but being checked other European powers for fearing Europe being dominated by the French. I love your collaboration alternate history scenario with Videntis, for you two are perfect for these videos. This is an excellent masterpiece, my friend, and please keep the great remember you are worthy of the respect and recognition you deserve and always keep sight of who you are, and remember it!
Here are some engaging scenarios for future videos: What if Shedaze Musfta, son of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, had never been executed in order by his father and instead succeeded his father as the new Sultan of the Ottoman Empire? In what direction would Mustafa as Sultuan lead the Ottoman Empire? To what direction and how his reign be different than his predecessors? What would laws, reforms, and policies be like, and how beneficial would it be for the Ottoman Empire?
What if Herny VIII was elected to become the new Holy Roman Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire? How would the HRE be different under Herny VIII? Would the HRE and England unite some empire, and would there be a dual monarchy or personal union between the two countries? How did this affect the history of the British royal family?
What if the Mughal Empire never fell but remained stable, able to unify all of India and expand South Asia? Could a mighty Mughal Empire take some influence in the Middle East along with Africa and conquer Persia with its might? If so, what would be the consequences of Persia under the Mughals' control, and would there be a conflict with the Ottomans in the future?
Which of the three scenarios do you like best, Mr. Possible History? Which of the three of them are your favorite and why?
It's a very bad video, lol.
I'm almost certain that this scenario would lead to Sweden 🇸🇪 becoming a European juggernaut, if not on the continent, then on the Baltic as a whole. They already proved themselves empire material with King Gustavus Adolphus, so it's likely that the Swedes would be more prepared if the Great Northern war were to happen. The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth may also be more weakened with this victory, leading to an earlier partition perhaps.
They could have leveraged a lot of german allies aswell that viewed them as protectors from the catholics.
i still think swedens population would stunt their growth
@@confusedmango6557Still, they'd be better prepped.
Not necessarily. Bohemia had close ties to Poland for centuries, meaning that with the removal of the Habsburgs and Poland-Lithuania's far more lenient religious policies, it is not impossible for the Bohemian nobility to elect the king of Poland as king of Bohemia, considering a Polish prince was elected king of Hungary and Bohemia after George and Mathias died and the two kingdoms could've stayed united if not for Mohacs. And even without that, sandwiched between Austria and Brandenburg-Prussia, Bohemia is quite likely to align with Poland, threatening Brandenburg and Austria, while also providing a distraction to let Poland fight any attackers on more equal grounds.
Pog!!!
"An unholy amount of pressure on the Catholics." I see what you did there.
Habsburgs leave to the only place not corrupted by enlightened decadence, SPACE!
(Got this on a video about space io game OST)
Fun facts the aftermath of the 30 years war is when my family immigrated from Germany to the US, they lived in the northern part of Germany at the time, Holstein-Kiel i believe
Interesting, but I really feel this tips the timeline towards Spain, Austria, Poland, and Russia teaming up against the Ottomans, while the HRE, Sweden, and England are busy in a staring match with France, while tentatively agreeing to leave Spain, Austria, Poland, and Russia alone, for the sake of weakening France by weakening the Ottomans.
Honestly I would see kind of the opposite effect. Like, Spain and Austria would probably be nearly completely focused on France, because a weak HRE means free space for France to expand into, so any major military action against the Ottomans could probably be exploited by an opportunistic France
You deserve more subs man
I love your channel keep up the great stuff
No way man the 2 of my favorite alt his channels are collaborating. This Is truly a blessed day.
Awsome video, I'am from Czech republic, and i would say, that the estates would get power, if Czechia was reconuered by the protestant powers, and king would be elected, like with Fridrich of Falc. Also, i have seen some stock videos, and i want to tell you that i don't like them, the videos where are only maps, or some pictures is better.
"What if the protestants won?"
"What if Gustavus Adolphus lived"
It's the same question.
i whuld love to see a video on what if denmark beat sweden, curs its a rabbit hole i went down ending in world peace?
Would love to see a what if everything went perfect for Canada. Alternate history doesn’t often cover Canada unless it’s being annexed by America but I think there’s so really interesting possibilities. If Britain had been far more dominant in the war of 1812, that likely would’ve only led to minor territorial exchanges and really only northern Maine but it would’ve put them in a far better position for negotiations regarding the Columbia District a few years later. I would also assume that in the scenario where America doesn’t have any of that land, they don’t buy Alaska leasing to Britain annexing it from Russia during the Crimean War. Just some food for thought off the top of my head but it would definitely be an interesting scenario to look into
he could do a part 2 of the what if britain won the war of 1812
Crimean war was 1853 to 1856.
U.S. bought Russian America in 1867 (Finalized July 1st, 1867)
If Charles I of england becomes HRE like you said, do you think this would alter the eventual outcome of the english civil war?
I find it interesting that you didn't really comment on religious tensions going forward. Protestant Bohemia and Catholic Poland especially would be interesting states to consider when going into the modern era.
Perhaps in an attempt to keep Silesia in the days of rising nationalism, the Czech people would more widely embrace a pan-western-slav ideology, they might even be the power to ally with the Russians, possibly even the Prussians, in an attempt to divide Poland. The Prussians want the coast, the Russians want the Ruthenian/Orthodox areas and Bohemia could possibly claim central Poland and try to make a pan-nationalistic union state that could see them target Slovak and Sorb areas as well.
nice 2 see u 2 get together, back when monziuer z first came out he basically had a monopoly on the alt history thing bro was goated

Concludion: if protestants would have won the 30 years war, the Holly Roman Empiere would have deceased earlier and not in 1805, Napoles would have become independant from Spain and probably absrobed by France, as well as half of Belgium and Luxemburg with the cooperation of the Dutch and Catalonia and Milan would have fallen in French hands
For who would rule Bohemia, personally I think the choice is obvious in your scenario.
The Swedish, in a sense.
If Gustavus Adolphus had remained alive for the duration of and after the war, keeping Sweden in the war for the entire duration and even leading the march on Vienna, he would want a serious concession towards Swedish power within the HRE.
The protestant lords within the HRE wouldn't want to give such a concession as the throne of Bohemia to him personally though after his earlier annexations of land.
But he had an illegitimate son, Gustav Gustavsson, who served in the Swedish military, and was even the governor of occupied lands during the war.
After the war he was recognized as part of the House of Vasa, and as Gustavus Adolphus' son (though his illegitimate birth meant his line could never claim the throne), and he was even given rule of some lands Sweden had taken during the 30 years war, as Count of Nystad.
Gustavus Adholphus, as a means to secure influence within the HRE, would have gladly put his illegitimate son on the throne of Bohemia.
And I think, that with the provision that Bohemia could not be inherited by the Swedish crown if Gustav Gustavsson were to die without a male heir, the protestant lords within the HRE would also gladly accept this, as it would tie Sweden and the HRE closer to each other, and solidly prevent Hapsburg attempts to reclaim Bohemia.
What if Hussite Wars ended differently (Hussite win or religious peace)?
Interesting video. I would love to see u do a video about what if everything went perfect for the swedish empire?
Me seeing Austria in the Thumpnail
My boy! What have you done to my boy?!
we clearly had opposite views, while you for bad for austria, i just was happy czechia exists
A Protestant Bohemian king means Prussia doesn't have to fight for it. Royal marriages can eventually cause a Bohemian-Prussian Union. If Bohemia and Prussia cozy up, after this alternate war, Austria probably goes along with it because they know they can't afford to be fighting over that when they have the French to worry about. Either way, there is less pressure on Protestant nobles to convert, as some did in our timelime, and a few more Protestant nobles mean more options for Royal marriages which will also impact things.
If a PU, much more likely Bohemia would be the major partner.
Also right after 1620 battle of white mountain and Recatolization with new german settlers that strenght the population of "Sudetenland", wich in this alternate reality wouldnt be case, and only germans would settle from allied protestant countries to help repopulate some areas after 30 year war, wich would be more bilingual when protestant czechs used mostly reformed czech alphabet and literature from Jan Hus. this could led to better connections between germans and czechs, and not execution or deportation of czech nobles.
I thought it would be very likely that a Hohenzollern would be put onto the Bohemian throne right from the start, if just to create a clearer great power in the HRE against Austria. French protestants would emigrate to settle the relatively depopulated eastern and northern german lands, much like what happened in the 18th century. With France clearly on the protestant side, this could happen rather amicably - much like a colonialization of the new world, France would support emigration to further solidify their influence in the HRE. This might also lead to France actually developing a colonializing population, which it severely lacked in our time, meaning that French Louisiana and Canada actually becomes a big and important colony.
@@NeverEverClever No, it would _very_ obviously pass to Friedrich V. And no, France wouldn't "colonize" the HRE lol. And no, you got the French colonies surviving out of your.
@@genovayork2468 Friedrich V died to the pest in 1632, thus would not be around.
"And no, you got the French colonies surviving out of your." maybe reread what you write, that is unintelligible.
Going by that graph of population at the 10 minute mark, really concerned by the fact that the low countries have as many people as Poland, but also it's actually a bit curious why Italy, France, and Spain all had populations that fell off a cliff as they're now less than or equal to the population of the UK.
Also the really low population of Poland (seriously what are you doing with so much unsettled land?), explains a lot about why the swedes were able to conquer so much.
Ontem eu comecei a ficar interessado na dinastia Habsburgo e tava jogando um jogo com mapa da guerra dos 30 anos, também vi o único vídeo que conheço da vitória dos Habsburgo. Hoje apenas 1 DIA depois vejo dois vídeos sobre isso. Que coisa estranha né?
Algorithm
I'd love to see a vid on if the Great Heathen invasion went even better for the Vikings, giving Denmark full control over Britain. Obviously they wouldn't be able to hold it forever but a Britain culturally tied more to Northern Europe than Western (and one that probably never has the Norman invasion) would have interesting implications going forward
I also didn’t know Sweden fought in the 30 years war. I’d also love an everything perfect for Sweden video, as they once controlled much of Scandinavia and if they kept it I doubt they would have started their neutrality policy. Great vid, looking forward to more
I recommend looking at History Rhymes video on it. He has a video I think covering this exact topic
The Danelaugh would probably expand and their control would be secured.
@@henrybacolor2782 Sweden had some incredible military leadership, not only Gustavus Adolphus but Torstenson, Wrangel and Banér
i immagine that the war could end with France enlarging , but at the end fighting against the protestant : i mean fighting against a tired and crumbling complex monarchy like Austria was one thing , fighting against a new german power ( maybe Bohemia would split between Prussia and Saxony rather than be an independent kingdom ) backed by many countries of a different religion with english and swedish support , is totally another thing . Richelieu/Mazzarino would advise to enter the war with the Habsburg this time , in order to not make the Protestants win . So the war would have a different second french phase and will continue and restore the catholics .
During all of his European history videos its just europe at war with france or trying to contain france
Being a mix of Spanish and Dutch families, learning my countries history makes my life very difficult
Maybe another way Prussia gains Silesia is by taking it during the peace deal, or by appealing to the bohemians by promising then land and/or money and protection against the austrians.
can be true, after 1620 battle of white mountain and Recatolization with new german settlers that strenght the population of "Sudetenland", wich in this alternate reality wouldnt be case, and only germans would settle from allied protestant countries to help repopulate some areas after 30 year war, wich would be more bilingual when protestant czechs used mostly reformed czech alphabet and literature from Jan Hus. this could led to better connections between germans and czechs, and not execution or deportation of czech nobles.
so most likely in partition of silesia between upper and lower, or for Slavic Sorbia.
I highly doubt that would happen
It irritates me that in this timeline Lusatia was still ceded to Saxony from Bohemia, as it makes absolutely no sense. Saxony gained Lusatia for helping the Habsburgs suppress the Bohemian revolts during the 30 years war, but in this timeline both the Saxons and Habsburgs of Austria lost the war, so they have no business having Lusatia, Lusatia should still lay within the Bohemian lands. Also, I highly doubt that Poland would attack Bohemia over Prussia, since Prussia wanted Silesia for its good borders on Poland. It is more likely that Poland would team up with Bohemia to crush Prussia once and for all and end its streak of good luck while also reclaiming their old territories back. I'm also uncertain if this weakened Austria would really want to push its luck by attacking Bohemia again since the Ottomans were still a huge threat to them in the south
what would happen to Denmark-Norway, as Christian the IV didnt lose in Germany. Meaning Denmark-Norway wouldnt be in a large debt that ruined the danish economy.

What would relations between France and Spain in the 1500s and 1600s be like if the Habsburgs married into the Trastámara line and gained control over Spain?
Besides the following, what else would be different and what would be the butterfly-effects?
» No figure as powerful as Charles V?
» Habsburgs are confined to Austria?
» No close cooperation such as was historically between Spain and Austria?
can you do what if the holy roman empire never dissolved?
What's with the random generic images interspaced between maps? Makes the whole video seem shallow.
The idea that the HRE would elect a king of Britain as the emperor is just ridiculous on the face of it. The British monarchs have no connection at this point to the HRE. The Swedish Kings at this time, with their control over territories like Bremen, Werden, and Pomerania might have a chance at being elected Emperor, but the best possibility for an outside monarch to get this position would be the Danish Oldenburg line. However, the chance of the Danish Kings at getting this position is far out classed by the electors of Bavaria of the Wittelsbach line. They are the true contenders to the disgraced Habsburgs for both the tile of Emperor *and* the crown of Bohemia. Their rivalry with the Habsburgs was, ironically, part of the cause of the Thirty Years War and they would most certainly benefit the most from a Protestant victory.
What if Italy didn't join the Axis in WW2? Would Germany have still gone into the Balkans and Middle East without Italian misadventures in those theatres?
is it possible that without other powers to challenge France that they aid Sweden in the northern war to some degree to keep other powers splintered and to keep themselves as the strongest power in Europe?
Ah huuuh, no
Like HELL no, for the simple reason that France was ruled by Louis XIV for most of the war and there was the Spanish succession war, which would make an even larger coalition against France.
Besides Louis XIV was pious Catholic and the old protestant-France alliance was already broken.
Not France itself, however the other protestant states may help Sweden further
What if everything went perfect for the Hussite?
Quite a few flaws, firstly the treaty of westphalia would most likely be the same but with much more larger consessions to the protestant league, this means prussia never gets a part of pomerania and it is given entirely to sweden, france would take artois besancon the bishopric of metz but would not take franche comte just yet, this would also mean louis xiv's path pretty much just gets a little bit better as a coordinated alliance would continue between mazarin and adolfus, and in this timeline all of louis xiv's 4 wars would happen the first two being largely sucessful gaining franche comte and flanders and the last two being moderately sucessful which would mean that spain falls on french hands and all of its possetions, as austria is too weak to lay claim to spain entirely, lorraine would also be ruled by frnech influence butnot directly annexed, but russia would still poke little bites into the ottomans making the decline of the empire be a bit faster than what you said in the video, and if the hre was looking for another emperor its first choice is most probably poland despite its dramatic decline, second choice would be the dutch or even the swedish crown, but the english wouldnot be considered as hanover is not yet taken, and therefore had basically no way of even defending the hre
Lol, bold of you to say he has quite a few flaws when you give a completely arbitrary scenario, with flaws as well.
1. France had annexed Metz in 1552.
2. Taking Besançon but not Franche Comté is outlandish.
3. Excluding the Franco-Spanish War, Louis XIV had 5 wars, not 4.
4. Your supposition exactly all the same wars of his would take place shows your little intelligence.
5. The faster decline of Ottomania despite the better circumstances makes no sense.
6. It's a condition to have lands in the empire to be elected, your best two options are discarded. Anyway I don't see any future Polish-Lithuanian king being elected. Władysław IV desired Silesia and had also a weakish foreign policy, while Jan II had disasters on his head. The Stattholder is the leader of a republic.
Better shut up than show your ignorance.

Ottoman Empire: Conquer Vienna, Sicily, Naples and possibly the German states of the Holy Roman Empire would have to pay tribute to the Turks
Ottomans touching Naples would break alliance with France however, their alliance is already on shaky grounds since the Habsburgs are weakened but even after the Italian wars France may no longer have such direct interest in Italy because they were kicked out, but they would undoubtedly in an attempt to bolster their hegemonic status protect Italy from muslims. And the Ottomans cannot win such a fight because its France in modern era with 300k men.
Same for HRE states paying tribute, besides Austria France would refuse anyone else hitting their possible influence zone and the Ottomans cant stop France especially not if France is on the defensive side and therefore the other possible coalised nations will not be as willing to make the final step of attempting to fight that lol
