For the funny!
@@pieceofschmidtgamersykes-picot but yes
France coming out the treaty chonkier than ever is just 10/10. Its hilarious how they can technically completely partition one of the great power, as long as all the other 4 agree on how to do that.
Austria and chechia to prussia

How did alternate history youtubers create a worse treaty than actual masses of memey viewers, and why do I love it so much?
We started very serious, but in the end we were tired and wanted to have some fun with the scenario. 😂
@@rewriting-historyso that ended up with Austria losing more than France did 😂😂😂😂
This is why you don't give a group of diplomats tons of alcohol and a very strict deadline. While the Vienna conference lasted long enough that if you got pregnant when it started you would have given birth before the end.
@@rewriting-history well if you ever want to make a sequel to this timeline like you did with the viewer’s timeline, just know,
1848’s a coming!!!!!
You answered your own question!!!!!! Everyone loves the BS, and drama.
You guys should've proposed to rename Austria to Australia instead.
This was absolutely hilarious
True btw. I got Australia because it would be funny, but what you suggested is even better! 😂
Austrialia...
less funny too obvious
I suppose with this name change, Austrian Australia from earlier in the video would also have to change its name, to Australian Australia (distinct from the other Australia in the east and Perth).
Perth is surrounded by Australian Australia
Russia: No Austria! No France!
Austria: let me control italy!
France: yay i win despite losing!
Britain: guys please stop

@genovayork2468 bruh they own all of spain, the maghreb and everything west of the rhine directly.
@@mappingshaman5280 Seem like legit, I can't imagine worse territorial losses
@@mappingshaman5280 In 1812 France directly owned all the Low Countries, north Germany, the Rhineland, Tuscany, Latium, Piedmont, Parma, Liguria, Savoy, Nice, Montferrat, Illyria, Swedish Pomerania, Andorra, Monaco, the Seven Islands; occupied four fifths of Spain, which it puppeted; puppeteered all of the Confederation of the Rhine, Portugal, Naples, Warsaw, Switzerland, Danzig, Pontecorvo, Benevento; held Italy in PU; had its dynasty in Spain and Westphalia; had allies in Denmark-Norway, Bavaria, Saxony... and many more I omit.
Please leave history to the knowers so as not to embarrass yourself harder.
@@genovayork2468 you are talking about owning PARTS of other countries and puppeting others (and btw that Spanish puppet was a drain on napoleon because of the insurgency). Let us also not forget what happened in the year 1812 in Russia. Here they just own all of spain, everything west of the rhine and sardinia, Algeria and Tunisia. And who even knows what will be a French puppet
"And Prussia receives Cuba, renaming it 'New Romania'"

How france won the congress of vienna
Can you imagine being a Spanish rebel, who fought for years against Napoleon’s conquest of Iberia, and he’s finally defeated, only for the Great Powers of Europe to not only give full control of Spain to France, but stick another Napoleon on the throne as their ruler. Spain was the most screwed here lol
this reminds me of the ridiculous WWI debate I had in my history class in high school. The teacher divided us into groups representing each country and I was in the Germany group. We were arguing over which country was most responsible for WWI. We somehow managed to convince the class that Russia was responsible for the war cause they backed serbia. It was a ton of fun.
Nah it was Russia fr they had no alliance or treaty with Serbia and thus had no justification for war against Austria
@@roastedturtle0820they had some reason to support Serbia , but just over the fact they were unofficially recognised as the protector of the Balkans , they declared war and brought their ally France in.
Well, that's interesting actually.
Pre-WW1 Russia was definitely one of the more bellicose nations in Europe pre-WW1. Christopher Clarke in his book The Sleepwalkers gives a lot of credence to Poincaré's visits to Russia, and how the Franco-Russian alliance was, in the eyes of the Russians at least, changed from a purely defensive one to an offensive one in 1912-1914. The Russians, eager for expansion in the Balkans, also interpreted his rhetoric as French approval of its mobilization, and Russian mobilization and general Russophobia then quickly led to escalations in Germany and Austria. However, it was the Austrians who sent the one-sided ultimatum to Serbia which was more-or-less an excuse to go to war with them, and they did that because of perceived German support, with Wilhelm II especially bearing a personal responsibility with all his weird, ignorant, war-mongering rhetoric.
Now, that isn't to say Germany didn't cause World War 1, but it wasn't solely responsible as the Entente later claimed. Some part of the blame also rests with the Austrians, Russians, and French, and even the Serbians themselves, who were far from the innocent little helpless country they are sometimes assumed to be. They were staunchly nationalist, proto-fascist even, and there is plenty of evidence that the Austrian claims that the government backed the terrorist Black Hand were true. Even the passive and wishy-washy, vague foreign policy of Edward Gray in the UK bears some responsibility: both Germany and France acted on what they wanted to hear, Germany thinking the UK would almost certainly stay neutral and France thinking it would almost certainly give full support from day one.
As usual, who caused WW1 is not a question with one answer. Each of the main powers bears at least some responsibility, and the systems of the early 20th century in the fields of diplomacy, culture, the views of the world as a struggle between nations or 'races' for supremacy, the opaque way of government leading to decision-making on foreign policy being in the hands of only a few, and the character and upbringing of those few are equally important. The inherent assumption that 'Britain', 'Germany' or 'Russia' were monolithic entities that made decisions as a whole is also wrong; individuals and groups within those countries caused the war.
It's easy to be able to point to a clear aggressor and blame everything on them, like you can do for WW2, but the causes of WW1 are much more complex, and you could make an argument for any country and for dozens of individuals within each country as the 'cause' of WW1.

So France Lost the Final Napoleonic War but also became far bigger and stronger than they originally were 💀
I really hope he does a history scenario off this video.
I predict that France would become more confident due to gaining so much land after their loss, while Aus... I mean Turkey would probably be quite furious at how the Treaty went, especially since they were getting ignored by the second half of the Congress.
@@Hijiri_MIRACHION Hungary rebels against Turkey 1. The new name 2. The humiliation. The other great powers support this as long as Hungary is renamed to the Hungry German Confederation. This ends up being so successful Turkey stops existing. Hungry German Confederation unites the catholic lands. France moves into Italy and renames themselves the "Western Roman German Confederation Empire That Is Holy" Portugal gets Sicily, Syria and the rest of Africa (besides Algeria and South Africa) even though they didn't part take in the war. And Britain unites Australia and renames it Austrian German Confederation. Russia gets Bosnia but not Herzegovina who becomes an exiled Turkish government.
Literally no other country would agree to this and all of The German Confederation ends up in a war larger than the Napoleonic wars before the treaty is even signed
@@Hijiri_MIRACHIONRussia would become the masters of the German Confederation
Everyone claiming the German empire while the 2 Germanies can't do anything because they got stabbed on
This is so far incredibly fun to watch, I can imagine this is what it was like in real life
They started discussing reasonable changes such as the future of the southern lowlands and ended up renaming the whole continent to The German Confederation
I love these types of diplomatic things, it's extremely hilarious how the Germanic Confederation ended up. Honestly I would totally buy a board game style game where you can easily do these types of things. I look forward to more diplomatic discussions, perhaps even a version of this video but with (some of) the minor nations also included. I would also like to see how this would end up in a later video maybe?

Please make a historical scenario off of this like you did with the fans. I want to see how this would blow up
You want to see each power lose in the first hour between 40% and 80% of what they gained?
I love how instead of dealing with France & making sure that a Napoleon never rose up again, they realized that they, being the 5 great powers, were unstoppable if they worked together, thus meaning they could carve up Eur- I mean, the German Confederation, however they liked.
tbf it worked lol

"The German Confederation"
I can't stop laughing 🤣
France in the Viennese Congress having a big-brained Talleyrand as a delegate for the fate of post-Napoleonic War Europe
Talleyrand already was big brained since he managed to turn France from a defeated nation into a victorious one by proxy able to negociate, but in this timeline he just drugged half of the big powers and led them with strings Metternich was like "FUUUUUUU"
*German Confederation
Can you really call it post-napoleonic if napoleon is back in power
This collaboration is even better than that one in year 1900 in China, we need more episodes of this.
Excited for the carving up of Africa video
I love how the Prussian diplomats microphone is extremely bass boosted so he sounds even more like a crackhead 🤣
was looking for this comment.
You should do that and then transfer the borders into a eu4 multiplayer
It’s called GCU4 now
I have been laughing like a madman watching this, but there's just no way to explain what's so hilarious to my wife. Poor Turkey, they invited everyone to Vienna and got absolutely shafted.
I love how it was somewhat realistic in the first half
Something : *Exists*
Prussia : LETS CALL IT THE GERMAN CONFEDERATION
Cuba : *Exists*
Prussia : EXCEPT THAT
Now we need a version for the berlin conference
This is def one of my favourite of your videos EVER cant wait for the next one
So basically, Grance, by losing is now more powerful and bigger.
Austria and Prussia just said "fuck it, balancing? Not in my place, I am going to carve up that sh-".
What an AWFUL partition of Europe.
GG for the in real life master plan of Vienna, leagues above of this... landgrab.
Even the Viewer voted Conference was better lmao
"What an AWFUL partition of Europe."
Did you mean the German Confederation?
Please do more of this. This was both hilarious and interesting! (Maybe with other peace deals or other people)
This was so fun to watch! You should definitely redo this in an alternate scenario, perhaps for the Peace of Westphalia? It would be even more interesting if you got some community members to join you next time, even if they are just minor powers with less rights in talks. Anyway, keep up the great work!
Can you do a Victoria 2 or 3 multiplayer game with the borders and governments from this video.
That would be kinda sick
I think you should do this way, wayy more! This was such a fun video
Europe 0.00000000000000000001 seconds afterwards *HOI4 war sound effect*
You mean the German Confederation
Legit your funniest video
You truly made the German confederation look great 👍
What if the 1878 Congress of Berlin, which mentioned the relatively recent discrimination of Christians within the Ottoman Empire, led to a military intervention that sort of mirrored the Battle of Peking in China?
I like the concept a lot, but for me the video suffers from the fact that France's great negotiating success in coming out of Congress as an equal great power with little loss of territory is the starting point of the negotiations. Of course, France then comes out op, because it simply gets everything it got in RL in the negotiations here at the beginning.
This was great I am definitely looking forward to seeing the Treaty Verisile video. You also should do a redrawn post WW2 map redrawn scenario with the Soviets, Americans, British and French.
"You want all of Spain."
"Yes."
(My brother put my keyboard in French causing me to break on of the keys. It was M BTW)
As a french, i loved it
Absolutely amazing one of the best CZcams formats
this was amazing please make more 👍
please do more this was gold
Austria: "I declare war on Britain."
Metternich is rolling in his grave as we speak XD
The video overall is great and I hope something like this gets done again, but PLEASE make some subtitles for what the other people are saying, it's really really hard to understand them sometimes
Would love to do this, looks immensely fun!
I feel like this is what would happen if all the delegates were had the same mind set as Tsar Alexander.
Can you make more of these? I like watching the map creation. And I like hearing the group discussions.
Only thing I would change is showing the call more with the map drawing
"We did it Patrick, we saved Europe"

this was hilarious. thank you so much
Well i didnt expect france to join the german confederation but here we are.

nobody:
the guy behind prussia for some reason:
"i am gonna name my newborn child.... THE GERMAN CONFEDERATION!"
I love your channel it’s so good.
Tbh the Prussian claim to Spain was very much possible as a Prussian prince was to be the king of Spain but that never happened because the date sent to the Spanish congress about when the prince would arrive was incorrect leading to the Spanish congress being dismissed as they could not wait that long.
Uk would have a heart artack after looking at the gaigantic Russia it would have to face in the Asian Game in Central Asia.
And the Austrian Diplomat definitely didn't learn anything from "Metternich" and now is Turkey😂
Broo love this series already
I love this and I hope you do more
In the Versailles video, you should only refer to Europe as "The German Confederation" for the sake of consistency
And the continent of the German Confederation lived in peace forever
This was so good! Please make another one with the partition of Germany after WW2.
2:40 Imao I can just imagine Talleyrand going "If a diplomat says yes, he means maybe; if he says maybe, he means no; if he says no, he's not a diplomat."
Also, evil Metternich XD
I love It! Make more of these 👍
My favourite aspect of the video is how the Prussian delegate's mic quality dropped everytime the german confederation was mentioned
The request to call the one alliance the German Confederation made me laugh so hard as I was drinking coffee that coffee went everywhere 😂
Awesome, please more videos like this.
Im sorry why did Türkiye never try attempt to claim Dalmatia and Istria. As far as i can tell the territories are still in Venetian hands despite Venice being in under Turkish control
This might be, somehow, _even worse_ than what the viewers did. And I love it. Please screw up -Europe- The German Confederation again.
Your welcome France, I win
Austrian Syria and the attempt at Austrian Iraq was absolutely hilarious
I love these treaty + Peace conference videos!!
France: Oh, look a turd!
Prussia: How 'bout we call it: *THE GERMAN CONFEDERATION*
This became my favourite video!
As a Romanian, now I'm a Prussian and I live in New Romania!
I didn't know i needed this
I want a follow up video to how history would play out in this timeline.
the congress of Vienna has assured peace in the German confederation for 2 months
An optimist I see.
This is hilarious I would love to see more videos like this
The silliness of the Prussian delegate ensured that the German Confederation would prosper for centuries to come
This is truly one of the peace treaties of all time
Just saw the CZcamsr list. I know this is gonna be a great video and I haven’t even watched it yet.
Please do more of this! I enjoyed this so much! Would love to see some more German mind games. Also. Please keep calling Europe the German Confederation for the rest of the series.
