As a Pole, this is the kind of scenario I was waiting for. Not like I am already creating similiar ones in every possible paradox interactive game...
I think Poland is the easiest state in eu4 tbh
in Eu4, poland is a lucky nation that have a huge Lithuania to help poland❤❤❤

I think that the butterfly effect of the Soviets doing worse in the civil war would lead to Finland getting more land.
Can't expect much from this narrow knowledge youtuber
I don't know, it could be possible, but I think the bolcheviks would secure their border with Finland despite having trouble in Eastern Europe.
Probably, but this video focused only on Poland
@@talesferreiralimadossantos8806 Well, shortly after the Finnish civil war had concluded, groups of Finnish soldiers ventured deep into Russian Karelia.
It could be more than likely that the Finnish diplomates who went to negotiate the border between the two could extract more from the Soviets.
Still, something like Greater Finland would be put a fever dream. The greatest extent I could see the Finnish border expaning would be to the city of Petroskoi/Petrozavodsk/Äänislinna. Though, this would only be possible, if the Soviet were given free access to use the railway there, as it's the only logistical link route between Murmanks and the rest of Russia at the time.
@@_utahraptor They really don't have a reason to cover such a minute and mostly unrelated detail in such a short and focused video.
If this video was 4 hours and covered a lot more of the implications of the scenario, then I would question their critical thinking abilities with leaving this one out.
Poland could potentially sign a defensive alliance with japan as part of their prometheism project of fracturing russia, this could be further reinforced by Hokushin ron supporters in Japan
Polish-Japanese border on the Urals…

Wladislaw Jagiello would be a great diversion point.
He was offered the crown of Bohemia by the hussites, Sigmund of hungary was supposed to abdicate the crown of Hungary after his wife died to her sister (Jadwiga wife of Władysław) who was the other claimant (they had a deal where if one of the queens died without an heir the other would get her throne) but Sigmund didnt live up to the end of his bargain. Novogrod was his vassal for a short time, maybe if the golden horde was pushed back that could be made permanent.
Wladislaws brother Vytautas challenged the mongol control over Rus, althou failed.
If it all went perfect and a strengthened Jaggielonian union attacked the Teutonic order they could wipe it all of the map.
was Jagiello the fella who died at varna?
@@catalyst9955 No
@@catalyst9955 Not that one.
Im talking about his father
When was Novgorod their vassal
Jogaila was kind of a brainlet when you think about it.
There's a theory he deliberately failed at the siege of Marienburg so as not to strenghten Poland, who'd have absorbed much of the Teutonic lands, over Lithuania in the Union (which happened anyway).
Imagine Prussia (the land) being directly annexed by Poland. No Prussia the duchy and later kingdom, no German nationalism in such an aggressive manner, possibly some other nation unifying Germany, if at all. Obviously no partitions either. Possibly no World Wars either.
His brothers Vytautas and Skirgaila kept on rebelling against him, even allying with the Teutons, and he kept on forgiving them. Over and over and over. It's riddiculous when you read about it. I know it's family and all but I mean come on, after the fifth time he should've taken a hint.
Mediocre ruler at best, his only shining achievement is keeping the Union going after the death of Jadwiga.
I’d love one of these for Sweden or Denmark. Both had maximum extensions much larger than we’d expect to be sustainable, so seeing how they keep it or lose it in a beneficial way would be cool.
He's already done a scenario for Sweden.
That would be pretty cool

Suggestion: What if everything went perfectly For Napoleón III
interesting
I don't know much about Napoleon III, but off the top of my head, I see puppet emperor Maximilian I Habsburg of Mexico (at least partially) winning loyalty of the people while remaining loyal to France. I also see an alternate Franco-Prussian War where Prussia's defeat means France either gains Geman territories or lots of payment.
As a French men I see this as an absolute win
Didn’t he already make a video about that
@@TheOneWhoMemes79 Napoleon the first? The one that's the great general? Napoleon the 3rd is a different person
I agree with the scenario in the video. The only change for me would be that in 1934 Polish army was actually very strong (Poland could be called military dictatorship at the time.) while German military until 1935 was absolutely disaster. Poland irl was more powerful than Germany, not to mention potential Intermarium. German army could hold very tiny frontline (it was impossible for the front to freeze) and would be inevitebly crushed.
the issue is, as he said, if Poland had its actual borders, ukraine and belarus would not have joined, which would have led to similar events to our timeline.
@@wizdmovie9957 Polish army in this perfect scenario would be much better-prepared. Ukraine and Belarus had to do nothing, if Poland didn't have border with USSR it's like its army was twice as strong against Germany
@@redguy3256 i just realized i responded to a different comment than the one i wanted to, umm. Oops i guess
It might be a more complex balance than that. Even under the Weimar Republic, Germany's interwar army was set up to allow for massive expansion on short notice, and they also had secret projects for the war machines they weren't supposed to have. Obviously they wouldn't have been as prepared in 1934 as they would be in 1939, but in a situation where they were on the defensive and had a natural border to fall back on (there's a reason the modern border is where it is...), there's a decent chance that mass mobilisation could have held a line long enough for German industry to kick over to a war economy.
Why do we have the same profile picture lol
Curzon line would be a big no no for Poland because you'd leave a tone of polish people outside of Poland. Imo Poland and Galicia and Volhynia alone would either have to be split between Poland and Ukraine or be established as a jointly controlled area of some sort
the issue is, as he said, if Poland had its actual borders, ukraine and belarus would not have joined, which would have led to similar events to our timeline.

@@xaveircombs2690
But its a compromise.
You cant make an alliance without compromise.
Piłsudski wanted to make a larger Lithuania out of Belarus, Lithuania and a piece of Poland, which would be in a federation with Poland, following the example of the Lithuanian Polish Union.
Pilsudski was still thinking in the PLC terms, where "Lithuanians" meant citizens of GDL, most of whom were Polonized Belarussians, like Kosciuszko and Mickiewicz. The modern state of Lithuania was founded by ethnic Lithuanians who didn't want to be a minority in their own state. Larger Lithuania wouldn't work for them. This is why Vilno problem was not resolvable. It was a Polish city in Lithuania.
@@milobem4458vilnius will always be lithuanian, yall destroyed our country and then your new expanded country got destroyed, and now a lot of polish people are nationalistic and want vilnius back
PD: we are far from being a ethnic minority within our own borders, tho we were invaded and in much worse ways than poland and most other countries in the world, and now our country is being fucked because its a post eastern bloc country that has been tryna adapt to the west and our population decline has been second to bulgaria from suicides and massive immigration, so yeah long text but we were far from being russian or polish or any other ethnic group
*happy Eduard Beneš noises*
(Beneš was a big proponent of the "Little Entente" - an economic and defensive pact between Czechoslovakia, Romania and Yugoslavia. In our timeline, it was obliterated by WW2, but in this scenario, it could be folded into the Intermarium, speeding up its expansion.)
Benes was also ekstremly antipolish and was literally sabotaging intermarium buildup irl
It's really no surprise that Eastern Europe got stomped over by the German/Soviet oppressors. Only foolish and unworthy leadership would engage in the petty distraction of regional feuds when they have twin revanchist giants both breathing down their necks. Putting every percent of blame on the west for the east's collapse only whitewashes the reality of it being a "team" effort between the complacent west and the bickering east.

Pretty good video. I'm looking forward to your coverage of the PLC. If I might offer some advice, I think that the best historians writing about this subject in English are Richard Butterwick and Robert Frost (not to be confused with the late American poet). Unfortunately, Frost is yet to finish writing _The Oxford History of Poland-Lithuania_ (fun fact: he's actually professor at the University of Aberdeen but Oxford approached him with this project as they don't have anyone nearly as competent in this area). There is just the first volume available, out of planed three.
It would also be great if you'd get your hands on the English edition of currently the most comprehensive Polish synthesis of the subject: _History of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth: State - Society - Culture_ by Urszula Augustyniak (I understand it's a bit harder to get).
Poczytaj prac Norman Davis, historyk piszący o Polsce.

Ale nie powiedział bym, że Davies jest obecnie czołowym zachodnim specjalistą od dawnej Rzeczypospolitej.
Love your content!😊😊😊❤❤
Im suprised you didn't add Hungary in the intermarium considering Poland and hungary were really close allies at the time to the point when hungary accepted polish refugees into hungary during ww2 during the invasion of poland
I think he viewed it as more of federation/union of slavs+balts, hungary is "too far" in terms of language. Tho in reality they could be included considering close ties and friendship between poland and hungary. Not only through WWII but in history in general, poland and hungary were close friends for centuries and even today.
Both have "Day of Polish-Hungarian friendship" on Mar 23.
There is even a proverb in both languages:
Polak, Węgier - dwa bratanki,
i do szabli, i do szklanki,
oba zuchy, oba żwawi,
niech im Pan Bóg błogosławi.
Lengyel, magyar - két jó barát,
Együtt harcol s issza borát,
Vitéz s bátor mindkettője,
Áldás szálljon mindkettőre.
Pole, Hungarian - two brothers,
both for the saber and the glass,
both lad, both lively,
may God bless them.
hungary wouldn't ally czechoslovakia, romania and yugoslavia without compensation, those are their geopolicial enemies
Exactly. Interwar Hungary really hated those three and no emotional pleas founded in Polish-Hungarian friendship will make Hungary drop its numerous claims against Intermarium members. Hungary was pretty much destined to be Germany's bitch with how much of a massive chip they had against the new order.
Hungary very much wanted its land back. Hence why it joined the Axis in WW2.
hungary would probably have been in the alliance if romania and slovakia were willing to give Hungarian magority lands back,
It's funny how in this perfect scenario Poland somehow still ends up smaller in terms of territory than our counterpart.
It's silly, yeah. I feel like there has been a big drop in quality of AH videos. His old ones were much better researched and much more plausible.
@@Szpareq wdym silly do you not know the meaning of diplomacy and compromises?
If territory was all that mattered then Russia would have always been an unbeatable behemoth. Geopolitics is not a map font size competition. This Poland may look smaller on the map but they're absolutely better off for dropping their neo-imperialist goal and founding a strong bloc against Nazi and Stalinist tyrannies instead. Hence, what if things went perfect for modern Poland.
If you think it represents a big drop in quality of his videos then that's a very blatant You Problem and I'd suggest revising how you view history and global politics.
@@gengarzilla1685 you miss one point, this union would be dominated by Ukrainians (twice as many people there when compared to Poland) who would lay claim to Eastern Poland. There is no such thing as gratitude in geopolitics and Ukrainians wouldn't give a shit about union as soon as Bolshevik threat was dealt with. Just look at the actions of current Ukrainian government - Polish actions saved Ukraine in 2022 and 2023, then Zelensky started screwing Poland over the trade deals. Ukrainians OTL committed genocide against Poles as soon as the Polish government disappeared and they justified it as a historical justice against their colonizers. This scenario is just flat out oversimplified.
what do you mean small? I think this pretty average size for coc.... I mean country

i was watching your other videos about what if everythng went perfect for countriesand thought that you probobabily didnt make a video about Poland and boom, you actually made it
Please do something about romania. You are my favourite alt history creator. I would love to see the same type of video about my country, since it also has quite tragic history
the idea of Poland liberating Finland and it joining the alliance is the most blurst thing ever and I'm all here for it
You should do Canada next. I don't think my country gets enough recognition so it would be really cool to see a CZcams like you cover it.
There’s a couple of videos here that contain what if scenarios for Canada.
@welshlout3400 I know but I just really like this guy so it would be pretty cool you know?
Hey possible history, I have an idea for you. I am from Czechia and I am mad, that my country was never an empire, so I would like to see a video, where everything will go perfectly for Czechia (if its possible). thank you :)
The Hre was sometimes ruled in Prague but I get your point 🇩🇪❤️🇨🇿
Great Moravia maybe
Wouldn't great moravia kinda count as "Czech empire"? I mean, it had Czech lands, was from Czech lands (moravia is like half of todays czechia) and was pretty big, maybe not "empire" like for example french, but still pretty signifficant kingdom looking at the region
Czechia (or maybe Bohemia, idk what's the right English version of medieval Czechia) was a very powerful country is 13th and 14th century. In 1260s and 1270s Przemyslid dynasty struggled with Arpads (Hungary) and Habsburgs for succesion of Babenbergs (modern Austria) and almost won (it took HRE for Habsburgs to defeat Przemysl Ottokar II). Then, in 1290-1300 period, Waclaw II, benefiting from crisis in Poland, which was splitted between rivalizing dukes, conquered most of Poland and in 1300 was crowned its king. Meanwhile, Hungarian Arpad dynasty died out and Waclaw's son, another Waclaw had pretty good chances of becomimg king of Hungary. Unfortunately for Czechia, Waclaw II died of illness and Waclaw III was assasinated, making him only king of Poland, who never was in Poland. Then, Luxembourg dynasty took over. Bohemia was still very strong and Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor was Bohemian king. (This is actually really intresting, because during his reign, all three great medieval central European states - Bohemia, Hungary and Poland had fantastic monarchs, I'd argue two last their very best).
Do you really need an "empire"? Poland certainly not. And as a Pole I can't see the Czech Empire in my imagination. C'mon southern brother! We love you because you are normal. Not an imperial motherfuckers, but relaxed Czechs chilling with beer and knedliki.
Western Slavs should create the Federal Republic of Poland-Czechia-Slovakia. Equal, friendly nations of people with the same ethnic roots.
I adore the way other people pronounce polish names, just brings a smile to my face.
Man i seriously wish for a part two as there is still so much to do in this
I'd love to see this start at the beginning of Polish history
The most interesting alternative history scenario.
My favorite Dutchman uploads again
It's BEAUTIFUL
I don't understand why most people say Poland was one of the "most unlucky nations". Like no, they were one of the most unlucky nations out of the lucky nations which are great powers today. The truly "unlucky" nations/peoples are those which you barely know of today, or nations that were never significant and never will be, or people who rule rump states about to be exterminated. Countries like Armenia, Palestine, most of the Balkans, Paraguay, North Korea, Eritrea (actually, many African states for obvious reasons), Kurdistan and many more come to mind. Poland, in comparison, has done extremely well, with the big exception being the Nazi occupation. But after it was all said and done, they took some extremely rich land from Germany and recovered fast, so it was not all doom and gloom (something the Armenians or the Palestinians cannot say).
What about Ukraine?
@@just_inker2584 I consider Ukraine to have been way more unlucky than Poland, but their current day borders more than make up for it: second biggest nation in Europe behind Russia; emerged independent with land from most of its neighbors: Lviv from Poland, Transcarpathia from Slovakia/Hungary, North Bukovina/South Bessarabia from Romania, and Crimea from Russia.
The country is very rich in natural resources and soil aswell.
Ukraine has a lot of potential, and had the war with Russia not disrupted that, I would've considered them one of the most likely eastern nations to catch up to the west. Right now, Ukraine is doing badly, but if they survive the war, they'll continue going down the path I stated above.
@@kevinboros7427 thank you for your opinion. Ukraine was one of the most powerful countries in Europe in 10th century, but since mongols invaded everything went wrong for the country.
11:00 could make Lusatia independent and join the intermarium
GREAT VIDEO BROTHER
Impossible borders from Polish standpoint, Lwów and Stanisławów were centers of Polish culture and were in Poland for over 400 years at the time, no way we could ever voluntarily give these lands to states that havent existed at this point yet (Ukraine and Belarus).
Poland being is very lucky compared to Sorbia so I want u to make a scenario for Sorbia where the Slavs of East Germany never got taken over by Germanic Tribes
Austria-hungary: (collapses.)
German empire: WHY am I unchained?? Was I not in the treaty?
bro we will bring u to at least 250k this year
I feel like you should do one for Greece, lots of possibilities there.
Awesome video as always! Could you perhaps talk about the consequences that would've happened if the Romanian rulers took up the crown of Bulgaria in the 19th century and then the Hungarian crown following ww1?
One interesting idea that I thought of a couple days ago was the idea for a challenge where one would get a couple other alternate history people together, and they're all given a point of divergence and an end point for a timeline, and they're each given a week to write out how the divergence would lead to said outcome (not like a full story or anything, just a set of relevant events) and are then judged based on how believable their timelines are.
For example, one possible subject (albeit difficult) would be challenging them to write a believable timeline for how Kagamine Rin/Len becoming cultural icons instead of Hatsune Miku ends up resulting in global thermonuclear war by 2018.
For April Fools can you please do "what if everything went perfect for the Emus in Australia"

POLSKA GUROM 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱
Thank you for this intro as a Pole ❤ But Poland break up from Communism in 1989, not 1991
Those near-modern borders in the Eastern Europe after WW I are kind of ridiculous. Western parts (realistically, 1/3 to half) of Ukraine and Belarus were mainly populated by poles
Yes, most of that land had polish ethnic majority that's why in 1943 ukrainians genocided poles there so that germans would secure them ownership of that land after war, our lands in Lithuania and Belarus also were mainly polish, many "belarusians" didn't even call themself that and registered in population censuses as "Tutejszy"
Well, to be honest eastern part of II RP was very mixed up in terms of ethnicity. If we assume borders from this video there still would be a large number of Polish people living in Volhynia, Stanisławów, Vilnius, Nowogródek and so on. I believe that in order to keep peace in Intermarium Poland, Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania should arranged some kind of population exchange, because in other scenario every country that i meantioned before could always demand some of neghbiour land. Furthermore, it doesn't matter how eastern Europe would settle their borders, because there always would be some minority that is going to be unsatisfied. I think that the best opportunity to make such exchange was after Polish-German war. Poland could annexed rest of Silesia and Prussia in order to move people from Vilnus to Królewiec (Kalinigrad) and Polish people from Ukraine to Wrocław. In that case eastern Polish border would be justified, because i think it include Lwów, Grodno and Brześć which were cities ethnicly Polish. Furthermore I would suggest one more idea. After Polish-German war I would establish Jewish state in Pomerania and Lubusz. Since times of PLC there was a large number of Jewish people living in Poland, Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania. Some part of them embraced Polish nationality, but some part of them wiew themself as completly diffrent nation, that has right to self governance and they had very difficult relations with Polish people. So to erradicate tention such country would be usefull as place in Europe where Jewish people from Poland, Ukriane,Belarus, Germany, France could migrate if their not see themself as citizen of country of origin.
@@adamkowalski170 How would polish goverment justify forcefull relocation of 100s of thousands of polish people from their homeland, Also reminder that before WW1 ukrainians didn't have ethnic majority in most regions that are modern west ukraine, that is because there were also ruthenians there, only when combining ruthenians and ukrainians you could get more ethnicy over poles, it all changed after ukrainians genocides poles and ruthenians in 1943 with help of the germans and then after war made deal with Stalin to force all remaining poles to move to new polish lands in germany and rest of ruthenians to western belarus
Man, it would be so interesting to see my country in that way.

I think your off when it comes to German rearmament. If Czechoslovakia.was in the alliance and the Germans began to threaten invasion the Czechoslovakians would completely destroy them. In our timeline if not for the British and French intervention the the Czechoslovakians would have completely beat back the Germans the British and French interference prompted them to give up all their fortifications.
Video idea : What if history went perfect for the visigothic kingdom (or if he survived)
You needed to do a bit more research on this one. Poland actually got almost all of Belarus and Ukraine in RL, including Minsk and Kiev and more, however the ultra nationalists Pole faction dominated the negotiations and actually REJECTED the USSR's offer, since they only wanted Pole and "polonizable" regions.
Can't wait for the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth episode
In this timeline, i could see something very interesting happening after the polish intervention.
At this point, germany would still be in massive economic debt, and if nothing changes on the map, then morale will plummet. So, the leaders of germany might be inclined to change these things. Here's the plan. they'd trade land to have their debt forgiven, and possibly have some land returned to them.
specifically, with poland, germany could offer all of Koninsberg in return for the return of danzig and forgiveness of the debt imposed by the versailles treaty. Poland might go for this, since danzig was a major problem at that point, it would get them similar access to the baltic sea and they wouldn't have to deal with the issues of only having 1 port. Everyone wins in this scenario, but poland wins the most because now they don't have an awkward border with germany, and it would be more difficult for germany to invade as a result.
I love this alternate timeline btw, i hope you make more of them! Specifically, i'd love to know what would have happened if the benelux had the best case scenario. would they try to acquire the rhineland or would they side with germany in order to secure french territory? i'm super interested to see your take on the idea.
at the time gdańsk (danzig) was mixed with german and polish citizens, if poland gave it up for the 95 percent german Konigsberg then they would have a very rebellious and also nazi germany would NEVER wilfully secede any land to poland especially all of konisberg, laybe a lighter version of your ideas would have happened if the polish german war was such a humiliation to hitler and his party that the Weimar republic (or atleast some kind of democratic germany possibly even SPD led but still democratic laybe something like a social democracy) would take charge and give land for the forgiveness of their debts
The perfect scenario need to address Polish internal issues. It took 6 months to foreign occupation to happen since Declaration of Independence which granted equality hence reducing priviledges of noblemen who in response complained to Russia.
Live an Apartheit that may or may not lead to prosperity or witness the crumble that already have

My two main issues with this scenario is the unlikeliness of Poland invading Germany, possibly starting WW2 earlier, and losing support of the eastern Intermarium countries, and not annexing more Ukrainian territories with significant Polish populations
Hell yeah
