    Rome turning into Greece would be very hard to justify imo. The thing that prompted them to become Greece in our own timeline was the fact that the Romans fighting for independence from the ottomans were physically from Greece, whereas the Romans in Anatolia were more content. This drove the Romans fighting for freedom to distinguish themselves from the Romans content with ottoman rule by classifying themselves as Greeks. With a continuous imperial government in Constantinople, and holding lands outside of Greece (mainly Moesia and Thrace) a Greek identity never emerges because it would be directly at odds with their highly prestigious Roman identity

  • @g.aathoz1211
    @g.aathoz1211 Před 2 dny

    As with many of your videos there is a cool scenario presented but I think you never explain some fundamental assumptions and following outcomes. For example why would Poland be stronger because of a stronger Germany, I get why the Germans may never have pushed on Eastwards into the Baltic and colonized Prussia (although I think this would have happened anyway because the pope still would have wanted to Christianize the Baltic region and it is easier using the stronger German kingdom than Poland) but why wouldn't the German marches still be established and pushed Eastward all the same? The rise of the Turks in Anatolia is also unlikely if you start with the assumption of a stronger Byzantium. France being more successful against a unified Germany is very unlikely, especially if you are going to include Burgundy as a sovereign entity establishing itself. Protestantism would still rise as it has less to do with the HRE and more to do with North Western Germanic culture in combination with the heavy handed response from the Catholics resulting in the schism. I have no problem with the colonial stuff as it is impossible to neither falsify or verify. To conclude I think it would have been rather similar to the alternative scenario of the Kaiserreich, or Austria in our timeline but even larger and similarly multi-ethnic however stronger and more stable. Also I think you missed some things that could have been interesting: - Asian, Australian and North American colonies as the Germans kind of merged with the Dutch (I think a German Australia is more likely than a South American Colony due the Dutch explorers in Oceania and colonial activity in Indonesia). - The Reformation or some similar schism. - Alternative world wars, maybe France and Poland got beaten so bad by Germany and Russia in the alternative timeline so that they turned Nazi instead.

Only region they may have endured a little better is perhaps the Kola peninsula.

      Yeah the difference is the Bulgarians were Orthodox, like the Greeks, and at the time national identity had more to do with religion than language or ethnicity. The Bulgarians, like the Greeks, remained separate during Ottoman rule because the Empire was Muslim and oppressed them. In this timeline Byzantium doesn't oppress the Bulgarians, it simply assimilates them like other Orthodox linguistic minorities

    • @user-yu1jb6de6n
      @user-yu1jb6de6n Před dnem

      @@georgios_5342 It doesn't matter if they were both Orthodox or not, the Bulgarians by then had the mindset that the Byzantines were their arch geopolitical nemesis and similarity in religious sect wouldn't ease that. They spoke two very different languages, had a history and mindset of competition and adversarial attitudes so the Bulgarians would not take too kindly to assimilation. By your standards, Ukraine should have long been assimilated by now but they retain a distinct identity from Russia, despite both being Orthodox, sharing the same alphabet and a nearly identical language with a history of unity and shared struggle, the Ukrainians having a flat land without mountains to make assimilation hard, along with vast intermarriage between the two. The Bulgarians are much less primed for assimilation so they should very much retain a distinct identity.
