What if Austria Rejected Anschluss in 1938?

- 99.73% of Austrians voted on the 13th of March 1938 that they should join Germany, right? Well, this is only the partial truth, as there is more to that. In reality, the Austrian Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg called for a referendum to happen, but due to an ultimatum by the Germans, was forced to resign 2 days before the referendum. After that, Arthur Seyss-Inquart became chancellor and allowed the Germans to walk in and rig the referendum.
So, what if we changed that, and Kurt Schuschnigg didn’t resign? Historically, his resignation was because quote “to avoid the shedding of fraternal blood.” In addition, something I bet you didn’t know is that originally, the Austrian painter and leader of the ultranationalist party ruling the German Reich planned to turn Austria into a client state ruled by Seyss-Inquart, not to annex it.

Hi
12:03 id rate your realism at a 6.5 as the video is good but of course its alt hist making it inherently non realistic any way your vids are great and they put a smile on my face so thx :D
"yo, u cool with germany annexing austria, rite?" best quote of the whole channel ❤
Completely agree!
Channel? Dang!
"Yo, You cool with germany annexing Austria right?!" Best quote yet from your channel 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Right? I need to add more humor to my videos, people really like it
@@rewriting-history yessir
@@rewriting-historyW
For the next video, I’d like to see What if Dollfuss survived from assassination.
It has been done by many creators, so I won't right now
8/10 rating for realism
This is good! I'm glad to see a high rating
Same
Hitler: You wanna join my nation?
Austria in alternate timeline: No
Hitler: No, this isn't how you're supposed to play the game
Haha nice! He was like the meme "wait, that's illegal"
@@rewriting-history yeah lol
0:06 hmmmm looks like average dictatorship vote
Yeah it seems legit
@@rewriting-historydo I hear sarcasm?
TO THE GULAG
9 in realism
In this scenario Hitler can't pretend to be peaceful.
Good score, I appreciate that!
I’m gonna be so fr with you RH, I made an alt history scenario literally two days ago and Czechoslovakia (after kicking German ass in WW2) became the Central European Federation and was a more neutral Cold War faction
Aint no way, I swear I didn't steal lol. It's from my book, which I wrote long long ago. We just arrived at the same conclusion
@@rewriting-history Never knew you even had a book 😭 It’s a very cool coincidence.
How would this central european federation be ruled? A monarchie under the Habsburgs would be my guess since it brings some much needed stability to the region
Thanks for the information 🇦🇹🤝🇬🇧
No problem 👍
Bro just started speaking in bulgarian out of nowhere lmao
Shhh nobody's gotta know
Best thumbnail I've seen on CZcams
Ayy I appreciate that! This is an achievement
The Dolffus one was unrealistic Dolfuss always had close ties with Italy. And im pretty sure if germany did try something italy would be on the austrian side and with italian help the germans wouldent do much in the alps.
And this is also why I didn't go for that option
Maybe a future video could be What If Operation Valkyrie Succeeded?
8:12 Translation from Bulgarian : Or he won't I actually don't know what's going to happen.
no way bro just revealed the secret
Hitler wouldn't have attempted it, and would have been sad, and then moved on.
That's what actually would have happened.
Sorry if I'm being pushy i just want to ask if "what everything went perfect for Serbia" is being planed on being made. Love your videos ❤
This is a Possible History title, I don't steal his ideas
What about the Rome protocols? I thought that if Germany actually engaged in war, at least Italy and likely Hungary would have intervened too
As Italy was the leader, and the Italians wouldn't join, it makes little sense for Hungary to solo-join. The Rome protocols were dead after 1934
@@rewriting-history But why wouldn't they join?
It could have dragged in Czechoslovakia, France and Britain as well. The German Army of 1938 wasn't the German Army of September 1939 or May 1940. They would have been steamrolled.
Austro Facism, Not Nazism!!!
Now, would you QUIT IT with the cuss?!?! My dad hates ww2.
Germany: i want you to join me?
Austria: i will never join. Now, would You QUIT IT?!?
Sorry. At the word "me" it was supposed to be a . Not a ?
"Thats not what I meant by Anschluss!"
-As Austria, reject annexation and capitulate Germany.
I don't mean to offend you, Rewriting History, but your accent often makes it a bit difficult to comprehended exactly what you're saying.
I cant help it, but im improving. My first videos were horrible, after some time, my accent would improve
A suggestion for a video is “what if Austria was competent in ww1”
Actually I was thinking this literally today and looked it up no one has any videos on it just what if Italy was competent and ironically I see this video and your comment and I think it be a good idea
Actualy Austria was about to reject it but when Hitler got wind of this he invaded before any troops could fight so techincaly this is just what if Austria was faster with rejecting
Huge fan of your work! Hearth please ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
There you go!
@@rewriting-history thanks
Can you make a video about what if Tito's plan for greater Yugoslavia succeeded
You didn't consider that Italy probably would have helped Austria.
My prediction is that the Germans after hard time conquering Austria would be too weak to have Suddentenland easily given, and so Germany is Ultra Weak compared to Our TImeline and could be easily beaten by Poland and France
Well you were pretty much exactly right
@@rewriting-history Yeah like Germany for majority of the time was just riding on intimidation since they had problems with money due to militirizing so fast so in a straight fight with someone who could stall they would fall apart due to lack of funds
Cool vid
Noice
Appreciate it!
Lore of What if Austria Rejected Anschluss in 1938? Momentum 100
What if Czechoslovakia took over the world in 1938. Zero historical realism behind this one, but it would be funny.
8:13 hahaha
Shhh nobody's gotta know
I agree 😂❤😊
This is a W vid
Bro Betrayed his fatherland💀
7,5/10. The Belgians still are united. But otherwise not bad, still sad Germany losing land.
Having a witzelsbach on the german throne
I give it a 10.
Ayy this is really good, appreciate that!
If Austria had got to keep the Sudetenland then when Germany annexed it then could the invasion of Czechoslovakia been prevented?
I mean the German ambitions in Poland would still be there but I think it would be interesting to see
Good idea, I can think of something
"Austrian fascism not Nazism"
Never claimed the opposite
@@rewriting-history Exactly, that is what this video made me think of, a lot of the Fatherland front were actively against unification with Germany. Thanks for the entertaining video!
What if Iran had joined the war on the side of the Allies in World War II?
let the video come
8:13 Българин ли си?
За мое съжаление, да :D
@@rewriting-history Epa get well soon, hope they can find a cure🙏🏻
Not rigged fr, Austria is cool
fr fr
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
If they rejected, then they would be almost as based as supreme leader “the based” rat, whoever that guy is
I give it a 7
Please hire a narrator
I won't, people like the voiceover I do overwhelmingly, and I'm always getting better
On New Years 2025, WhatIfAltHist will host a game show and make fun of a map from this video, and also say PH made it. But don't quote me on that, I'm just betting against God
lol
Czechoslovakia could give equal right to everybody without changing name...
They can, but it makes a lot less sense. They need to become a federation for sure
@@rewriting-historyI don't think so
@@rewriting-history For a part of its existence Czechoslovakia, still called Czechoslovakia, was a Federation. No name change needed...
7/10
Still good, love to see this rating, thank you for participating
