      he predicts 1850s/1860s. meaning it predates any american civil war (assuming no major butterflies to usa) and just as importantly there has been no crimean war infact this great war is ALSO this time line's crimean war, same time period and likely same starting causes. except france has been swapped to Russia's side (alongside spain, and possibly a unified italy) being replaced by a unified germany.
      what we saw in the crimean war was still mass deaths in trench warfare, but with worse medical knowledge and techniques [more wounded and sick = dead] and inexperiance facing new rifles and artillery caused mass casaulties. the Death rate for the crimean war was almost 40% compared to ww1's 14% dead (or us civil war's 20%). its basically the us civil war but more brutal (less counters to new techniques, less cultural ties and more animosity between combatants) and more than 6 times the size (almost 7 times infact) due to the larger populations involved.

      ​@matthiuskoenig3378 Well, the death rate for the Crimean War was due to disease, and overall due to poor local conditions and conduct of the war. However, breech loaders are still only marginally in use, and the machine gun roughly 50 years off as only the gatling gun really exists yet. Modern artillery still not really a large factor either. This means that you probably have a less deadly war because what made the war so deadly was industrial technology and scale, which in this timeline, isn't actually yet achievable. Not to mention the industrial population growth hasn't yet occurred meaning there just aren't enough men to create the conditions for The Great War of our timeline.

This leads to a super Germany which when you combine them with Britain, the strongest world power at the time and put them up against a weakened France, Spain, and Russia they most likely win

    The only thing that I'd find unplausible is Spain helping Fr and Ru in a massive European war, because they almost have nothing to gain by angering the two most indutrious and powerful empires. I could also see Germany annexing Courland and breaking Livonia off Russia to cut off Riga and hamper their Baltic Fleet's power projection, but leaving Lithuania as its own separate subservient duchy or under Polish rule is more probable than being annexed by Ge, since there is little to nothing to gain by annexing foreign unruly agricultural land tht gives you a huge border with the power you just declared victory over.

      The Baltic Duchies actually held some German nobility if I'm not mistaken. I don't see Germany annexing Lithuania either though since they actually aren't German, but there is still the possibility that Britain told Germany no on the Baltics so they pushed for Lithuania instead. We have to remember that the Germany of this timeline has an influx of Austrians who are used to accounting for unruly peoples, not to mention that Germany in general is *much* stronger since this is Greater Germany, not Lesser Germany.

    @thinkforamoment770 Před 8 měsíci +10

    Very good video, Honestly it was a very complex scenario and the conclusion was farily realistic. I have, however, two small nitpicks
    1. Brittany and Catalonia would of have succumbed to the liberal revolutions of the early 19th century: Nationalism as a concept began spreading in the liberal revolutions that followed napoleons conquest so I dont think proper separatist sentiments existed in this provinces to keep them separated from their original countries. I cant really speak for brittany (as I dont really know about it`s history and maybe the british would have a special interest in mantaining the independence of a brittanic state and help mantain their independence) but in the case of catalonia, catalonian nationalism didnt appear until much latter, during the 1870´s (after the final defeat of the carlists and a movemet of cutural resurgence spreaded across the catalonian petite bourgeoisie that led to the birth of a proper catalonian identity) so this new catalonian state would be left in limbo, existing for the purpose of being a buffer state between France and Spain and needing of great power assistance to fend of pro spanish rebels. And even so, considering the events that were taking place in spain (The 8 de mayo had just happend, a liberal-patriotic revolution to restore a propper spanish government over spain, and the one that was arround the corner, the "pronunciamiento de riego", a liberal revolution that in our timeline was done to force the king to accept the constitution written by the spanish people during french ocupation and that was surly going to be stronger in this one) for as much assistance as they could get, in the end, the wave of spanish panationalists to appeare in catalonia would probably not be defeated without a full invasion of the province (which whitout french support is almost imposible)
    2. Napoleon the third could of have comed much earlier into power : Considering how humiliating the peacedeal was for France, its almost certain one of the objectives of the bourgeoisie within france (hence one of the factors that will drive the liberal revolutions at the begining of the century) would be to restore the old french borders. Its also posible that amongs fench society (particularly romantic circles), the times of napoleon are remembered with much more nostalgia, as the times when france was at the peak of its power and had complete territorial integrity. As such, its posible that one of napoleons early coup attemps could of have had greater succes than ir our timeline.

    • @matthiuskoenig3378
      @matthiuskoenig3378 Před 8 měsíci +1

      1) Nationalism would have strengthened Brittany and possibly catalonia.
      In the case of the Bretons, they were not really French until well after the 1870s, very few even spoke french as a 2nd language even in the 1870s and their language and culture isn't even close to french (being much closer to Welsh), Brittany was culturally integrated into france by the efforts of the republics and emperors, mostly by the 3rd republic. Being indepedant the nationalists instead push for Breton nationalism and culture rather than OTL french government quashing it. OTL As part of France you had strong Breton nationalist movements, with Breton indepedance movements resisting the 1st republic and aiding the British including literal uprisings in the 1790s (and ahistory of anti-french revolts long before that). breton peasants even in the 1870s were considered too monarchist, separtist and disloyal (and what we would now call concentration camps were actually set up during the franco-prussian war for bretons). Basically what i am saying is the only way Brittany falls to nationalism is an extrnal french invasion driven by nationalism in france (not french nationalims by bretons).
      The Catalonians are much closer to the Spainish then the Bretons are to the french, but even they are distinctly different to the Spainish, we a not mutually intelligible language and a distinct culture. catalan nationalism came later IRL, but indepedance would build it up earlier, although Spainish nationalism is still a possibility.
      2) largely agree

    Nice video as always! I think I disagree, however, that Russia would ever accept 2nd partition borders in the scenario you outlined. Nicholas's throne is unstable as his brother *just* got assasinated for not promoting somewhat hawkish policies and taking over Poland. Between getting overthrown by a coup and securing Russian gains in Poland at a military cost, the Russians would go into Poland; and the coalition of great powers to assemble would be smaller, as I don't think France would *ever* side with the Coalition on a dispute after their mutilated peace treaty. So it'd essentially be Austria, Prussia, and Germany, alongside the UK (and possibly the ottomans or sweden, but sweden's more unlikely) fighting Russia; a fight they could possibly win, if it ever broke out.
    Or maybe the Congress diplomats just back down, which would be a *massive* failure in the eyes of the public (especially in Britain, where this matters), as the Congress of Vienna fails to keep the peace, prosperity & cooperation it has offered to promote through it's signing, but instead has created major enemies within France and Russia that feel their own pride and national honor is wounded.
    In my personal opinion, the major world war we have at the end would either be a rapid Franco-Russian victory, or a sluggish war that ends with their defeat. They can EASILY knock out Germany with their numbers alone, especially as the Prussian army isn't *fully* modernized yet, and the differences in artillery technology/tactical strategy wouldn't be as decisive early on. Plus, some of the major commanders on the French side, including Napoleon, aren't old as fuck, so they should be better players in this war than they were in the 1871 one.
    But I don't think it's a forgone conclusion Germany overpowers the Franco-Russian alliance. The German states are still disorganized after *just* having a revolution, and their military command would need to become one, which can lead to squabbling on it's leader's behalf; whilst Russia already MASSIVELY outnumbers the German forces, and France has more experience and knowledge on logistics & warfare in general. If the battles are victories, I think nothing would stand in the way for a German defeat.

In particular, the US experienced a lot of immigration between 1820 and 1860, especially from distressed areas of Russia, Germany, Italy and the eastern Hapsburg Empire. This scenario could change that human outflow quite a lot and effect the character of the industrializing US in this period.

      It's unlikely that mass immigration from Eastern Europe would be possible in the middle of the 19th century. The main obstacle would be the cost of trans-atlantic journey at that time especially for Eastern europeans that were poorer than your average brit german or frenchman.
      In our timeline mass imigration to US from Southern & Eastern Europe only kicked in early 20th century as trans-atlantic journey became cheaper and Eastern Europeans became wealthier.
      Nonetheless some migrations would still eventually occure but probably in different destinations.

    • @matthiuskoenig3378
      @matthiuskoenig3378 Před 8 měsíci +3

      well there are more wars in this timeline so more immigration:
      -you have a world war in the 1850/60s
      -russian invasion of poland before this
      -Austrian civil war and partision before this (on much bigger scale than irl hungarian revolt, since it isn't crushed easily by russian intervention and combines with the brothers war)
      -French and spainish invasions
      -an earlier pre-1850s Italian wars of unification
      - a larger dutch revolt
      you basically have all the conflicts of IRL europe (and more) in half the length of time, This probably means more people trying to get in the us in the 1815-1860 period, however this is only going to drive up the cost of the movement in a period it was already expensive. meaning its still probably only wealtheir europeans that move across (which means its probably still mostly northwest Europeans), but the larger potential market is likely to drive more investment in improveing trans-atlantic crossings mostly to reduce costs.
