Drew: *points at Switzerland*
Also Drew: communist sweden
Also, Switzerland's official name is already the "Helvetic Confederation"...
sussy bals
@@elwinowen5469 I was gonna say that

i was gonna say dat
"communist Swedish state" points at Switzerland
1:10 Switzerland: Helvetic confederation
Drew: Swedish city
That's a weird parallel universe
Drew: Swedish state
Lawrence: Swedish city
The Helvetic Confederation is actually just one of the official names for Switzerland... Well anglicized as it's Latin, but still. This is why the abrevation for Switzerland is usually "CH".
@@Mimi.1001 Sweden is the official name of Switzerland?
@@PlatinumPlsOC I was referring to the Helvetic Confederation or the Confoederatio Helvetica.

Drew:
"how they got these random names like this places dont exist"
Also drew:
"show states who exists"
"Communist swedish state" Literally is Switzerland under a other name...
ah i see youre a man of culture
Helvetia Is the latin name of Switzerland
But Switzerland isn't communist
Nevermind
5:06 during the civil war the union seized New Orleans so south Louisiana is part of the union not uninhabited drew.
Yos
well spotted
1:09 "Helvetic" comes from "Helvetica", the ancient name of Switzerland
This is still used by Greece
Using the latin name "Confederatio Helvetica", or CH (the current code for Switzerland), is a middle ground between the different official languages
And also the text font name

But I gotta give the borders a 10/10.

Dutch person here. The Dutch also really like their trains in fact Utrecht Centraal the station of the fourth biggest city in The Netherlands has the biggest parking space for bicycles in the entire world. The royal family also has it's own personal train.

and lets not forget the brazilian capital changing names for no reason at all
@@arvre182 i dont want to comment about it it doesnt even make sense
LOL “Calaisderry” on the tour de crowns map is so funny from an Irish perspective.
As a Hungarian person I have only one thing to say: -rep for that joke, I already accepted the hungry joke and the fact that it will never die. But thirsty is a whole new level
POV: You couldn't have already finnished this video
@vörtex . *Laughs in 2x video speed*
Heh nice joke
pov: now you have already finished watching whole video
In case you're wondering, I posted that comment 34 sec after the video was released. Yeah, 2x speed that I use too does not work
0:41 There's actually a whole series of French comics based on alternate history scenarios ironically called "Jour J" ("D-Day"), and the second volume ever published is literally based on this premise, additionally with De Gaulle having died in a plane accident and the Western Allies having solely landed in Provence (Operation Dragoon).
3:55 I think the great eruption is not a civil war but Yellowstone erupting
7:58
The Netherlands having a very good railway system that's used fairly often used.
Drew: "I think the Dutch would rather bike than ride a train."
🤦♂️
It only is fast up to Utrecht though after that it always seems to be slow.
As a Dutchman, I use this rule of thumb: less than 35 kilometers journey (about 20 miles) = ride my bike / Over 35 kilometers or time constraints: get on the train.
Drew: africa looks pretty much the same
The bigass lake in the Congo: am I a joke to you?
12:00 The British Empire had Hannover under a personal union
9:10 actually the Dutch Railways are some of the most heavily used railways on earth. It’s just that the cycling stands out more since quite a lot of countries have railways but fewer have so much bike infrastructure.
As a Dutch person I wouldn’t mind splitting Belgium between the Netherlands and France they get wallonia and we get Flanders we already call it south-south-Netherlands
That tour de crown might have been something to do with the potential merging of Britain and France during WWII.
Greater Bulgaria is actually once a real thing after the 1st Balkan war Then lost territory to Wallachia, Ottoman Empire, Serbia, Greece In the 2nd Balkan war

I like how everyones just roasting Drew for saying swedish instead of switzerland
9:00 The Netherlands didn't just take Flanders, they also took French Flanders (Duinkerke, Hazebroek) and Waals Brabant (Nijvel, Waver).
From what I can see, it's mostly the current railway, plus a couple of abandoned lines that used to connect Belgium and the Netherlands (maybe other abandoned lines too). For example the Line from Sint-Niklaas (my home town) to Terneuzen (line 54, abandoned in 1952 for passengers and in 1975 for goods). There is another non-existent line, from Gent-Centraal (real name: Gent-Sint-Pieters) to Terneuzen. There currently is a study to create that line, but it doesn't exist yet.
Map at 1:20 at first glance doesn't look too different, but then you realize that Russia is well bigger than it should be, China is missing stuff, the UK still owns everything, and there's a massive french African colony. Obviously if you look closer you'll see a lot more things like weird Europe but from afar those are the big ones.
Drew looks at Switzerland
"ThaT LOoKs liKe a cOMmunIsT SwEEdIsH sTAte"
Trains are really popular in the Netherlands. All trains there can fit many bikes onboard, and have huge parking areas for bikes, sometimes multi level parking areas.
12:50 You're probably more used to Mamluk Australia
1:15 Drew, did you forget about real life East Germany?
How did he completely miss Calaisderry?
Comments:

Stop it...
how do you feel about drew calling you Swedish?
He also called Swiss people Swedes. 1:09 lol.
@@whydidyoueatmycake3019 almost the same, but in a different location.
That Brazilian map is full of filthy-sounding state names like “Tasty Peacock” “Fat Milfs” and “Lesser Pussyland”. There’s a town called “Loose Wood” …I believe you got trolled there
Maybe this is a joke on how we have irl states named “Thick Bush” and “South Thick Bush”, idk…
2:05 Australia has never truely gotten their independence but we became a federation on January 1st 1901
Drew grew a chad beard and now makwa chad dad jokes
Fun Fact: For the Greater Netherlands railway system, the political borders is
possible, the Netherlands in the map took over the northern region of Belgium,Flemish, which is a major Dutch speaking region, so I say that the map is entirely possible.

6:28 Don't be sad drew, 1 guys behind you laughed at that joke

2:08 "But the Philippines was somehow free"
Well... Yeah. We would be in that Alternative Timeline. The Philippines was a US Colony (Not a European one) and they were setting up legislation for us to become either independent or autonomous. That is until Little Nippon decided to give us a little visit. :/
So like he said, the Phillippines would be colonized by Japan.
@@amhendrickson93 I don't know... Would they be able to conquer the Pacific with an Un-weakened Europe and America after them? I guess with they could control Korea and Taiwan and conquer some parts of China but not the Pacific.
Edit: WW1 and the slight weakening of Colonial Europe was what gave Japan an opportunity to rival the Western Powers (aside from their victory against the Russian Empire) and grow as an Industrial Imperial Superpower. Without WW1 or WW2, I don't know what would have happened. They might still have an empire I guess but not enough to rival Colonial Europe, USSR, and the US or enough to have control over Southeast Asia (a.k.a their empire would probably only be in East Asia).🤷♂️
@@amhendrickson93 In this Alternate Timeline/Reality, If Japan touches the Philippines. America would retaliate against Japan. If Japan touches the Colonial Powers Southeast Asian Colonies (a.k.a Britain, Germany, France, Portugal, Netherlands, etc.,) the Europeans would retaliate... HARSHLY and BRUTALLY!
Japan managed to take Europe's Colonies in WW2 because they were weakened during WW1.
The Philippines are named after the Spanish crown of the "Phillips" (Filipes) and was named in their honour because of it. How come was it not a European one?
@@Noone-ii4kv the Philippines was once a Spanish colony but was taken away by the Americans after the Treaty of Paris after the Spanish-American War
5:01 the part of louisiania was still french at the time of the confedereny
no the union controlled it.
7:58 thats straight facts man
6:53 Drew: What are those
*Its Every day bro start to play in my mind*
About the thing of Germany and Britain: The Family who now rules Britain, also ruled some nice states in Germany Coburg, Hannover and Saxony - they only changed the name to Windsor, so it wasn't quit so oblivious, that WWI (or Germany vs Britain) was more a quarrel in the family.
1:08 Drew be like Swedish and Swiss, close enough
0:17 I guess Drew Doesnt like the word Empire
The Dutch did actually take a few villages and a town after world war 2 from Germany but gave it back recently and Belgium took a small part of Germany after ww1
Woah I just realised that with war natural selection used to favour those that fight well
But now due to insane weapon progression the difference in ability is now much less which actually means combat avoidance might actually be the favoured trait to survive.
7:13: *smiles in english
"Guess you have to change your name to thirsty"

8:56 While I am not 100% sure of the Belgium part, that Dutch part looks very much the actual rail roadnetwork today. I wouldn't be surprised if the OP just combined the Dutch and Belgium / Flemish railnetworks together.
8:03 This was actually the thing that we wanted to achieve in WW1. This proposed in The San-Stefano Peace Treaty and covers all of the land inhabited by Bulgarians. ( Don't wonder from where I know this, I am from this place. And also we had a big scary army)

9:25 Drew: "An alliance has formed between The Netherlands, Germany, and Austria." Luxembourg: angry screaming
4:00 i think the yosemite volcano erupted which basically caused the US and perhaps canada to collapse
and btw if you look to the west of the great lakes you will see a region titled "scorched area" which is probably land the yosemite volcano claimed
2:28 Did you know, after WW2 was not only Germany splitet but (for like 2 yrs. also Austria.)
2:54 It's beause the south part was already "good" .
6:46 Vienna may would be a sea trade city.
10:02 I allways like to see in alliances and war maps in Europe, how Switzerland just a hole is in the middle between Germany, Austria, Italy and France. (And of course Liechtenstein but it's quiet a part of Switzerland.
9:54 It's an United-United Kingdom. 😜
10:00 Btw. on this map is Czechoslovakia also united.
Austria got occupied for like 10 years
Everyone knows that Austria was also split after WW2. But thanks, Captain Obvious.
You got to collab with alternate history hub for these sort of topics🤣
On italy part "if italy was punished like germany" i think that brazil could have a part of italy since he battled and won italy
In the extended Brazil map, some of the names were very random like "pavão gostoso" that translate to "tasty peacock"
I didn't expect to see something for Bulgaria on this video
At 2:13, Tibet would be independent. They declared independence in 1911.
@Blaine Brown Other than having recognition from Britain and France …..
9:03 when ur city is in a drew durnil video
@1:05 congratulations belgium, you came yo your senses
Love how the Caribbean confederacy flag has the trident has like the main thing yet Barbados isn’t even included
Surely they meant for Barbados to be included, you just can't see all the little islands on that map
Fun Fact: That part of Louisiana isn’t shown because in the civil war, the union went down the Mississippi River and invaded southern Louisiana, though this invasion was started mainly just to capture New Orleans.
"Switzerland of continents" genious
2:53
7:02 I know that country would be a vibe
1:38
As far as I know, Cameroon used to be a German colony as well.
And why is "New South Caucasus" controlled by Germany but in a different color than Namibia or Togo?
9:10 Drew, believe me, even with COVID we netherlands take the train
4:04 It said eruption, think super volcano. Maybe in that fantastical place called Wyoming?
15:20
Pretty sure this is wrong, many names are there to look like fun, for example, "Coroas Gordas" (one of the fictional states) translates to "Fat Crowns"
Also i dare you to name all Brazilian states AND their capitals
1:32 makes sense wilhelm II got lenin to start a revolution while the tsar and the white army were distracted fighting the central powers
14:50 Imagine the guy who did this map casually naming "Handsome Peacock" and "Fat Crowns" (Pavão Gostoso and Coroas Gordas, respectivelly).
Btw, Coroas Gordas could also mean "Fat Old Ladies"
Time for me to clear up misconceptions about the WW2 "japanese flag". The flag commonly used for WW2 japan was never a national flag, it's the flag for the navy. Of course them being an island nation would lead to their navy being seen quite often, causing the misconceptions.
No, it was the flag of the imperial army. The navy did not have the sun centered. The army had a lot of power, and they are responsible for most of the well known atrocities, causing people to associate imperial japanese war crimes and imperial japan with that flag.
@@__Man_ thank you for correcting me
You’ve got a kind spirit Joe, a rare one to find these days
3:38 if Germany United in 1848 it would likely have been an elected monarchy with the 1st emperor being ether willhelm 1st of prussia or more likely Franz Joseph of Austria.
9:17, the dutch people liketrains very much too
pavão gostoso in thicc Brazil means either "tasty peacock" or "hot peacock" and i dont know which is worst

I'm pretty sure that's where the Aromanians and Megleno-Romanians live. By their name you should be able to tell some consider them to be romanian.
