  • Very first alternate history video. This took like 7 hours to make and would have taken even longer without Makhno.

    My very first alternate history video. I really do hope you guys enjoy it. Stay tuned for Part 2. Also, the reason that the Alexander the Great video wasn't uploaded before this one, it all comes down to motivation. I'll try to work on it but I do really wanna work on other stuff, either way I hope you understand. And have a great night everybody!

    I see the inspiration from possible history, but I like how you keep european balance of power somewhat intact (a.k.a the mentality of the period) and focus on realism more.

    Really good and intresting scenario

  • @Tacosmos
    @Tacosmos Před 24 dny +2

    Napoléon II seizing the power in 1830 is quite unrealistic, as he was too young to be powerful enough to become emperor. But he will take the lead of the Bonaparte dynasty and, after the 1848 revolution, become president, and then, emperor of France, as Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte did on our timeline.

    Napoleon 2, seriously, a more interesting question would be, what if Frederick III had lived longer. Imagine if he died in 1910 having reigned for 22 years instead of 99 days and helped shaped Wilhelm the second up to a more responsible ruler while also institution many of the liberal reforms that he wanted, thus lowering the impact Wilhelm II would even have

    • @Caztrion

      @@Caztrion napoleon 2 was irrelevant and napoleon 3 was just a deletable minor villain. He did what the French are so famous for, rolled over and surrendered the moment the Germans were at the door

    • @Caztrion
      @Caztrion  Před měsícem +2

      ​@@rphb5870Well of course Napoleon II was irrelevant. He died at 21. The French were completely unprepared for the war, and Napoleon III obviously wasn't a great diplomat or strategist. If the French were actually prepared, and had better leadership, it wouldn't be so one sided.

    • @Caztrion
      @Caztrion  Před měsícem +2

      Other than the Franco-Prussian War, Napoleon III was quite a good ruler. He brought Paris to what it is today, and put in tons of reforms to strengthen the nation. He's very overhated

    • @Caztrion
      @Caztrion  Před měsícem +2

      And saying that's what the French are famous for is hilarious lmao. They have the most victories out of every country on the planet, defined the 19th century with Napoleon, won the Hundred Years War, and many more. They lost the Franco-Prussian war due to them being very unprepared. They had better Technology than the Prussians. And they obviously couldn't stop the Germans in WW2 by the time of the invasion. Saying that's what the French are known for is ignorant lol

    @spatialex Před měsícem +4

    If Napoleon II conquered the Netherlands, then OTL Napoleon III could be crowned as king of the Netherlands since Louis Bonaparte (Napoleon III's father) was crowned king of the Netherlands after the end of the batavian republic and was considered a good ruler since he was ready to oppose his brother for the sake of the peoples under his rule.

      Don't forget, Napoleon III had a older brother who died in Italy. So had he lived the Napoleon III we know wouldn't have ruled.

  • @Vampirewolfking
    @Vampirewolfking Před 23 dny +2

    There's no way the British would have allowed French annexation of whole Belgium, maybe Wallonia would have been justified. Even so, the whole Prusso-Dutch alliance is unrealistic.
    I also have a slight problem with the whole Rhine river thing. It would have been better for the French to break Prussian power by for example restoring Prussian Saxony to Saxony and create/restore states in the Rheinland with economic ties to France. This would have been enough to give France hegemony in Europe without overly antagonising other powers.
