[@lljkgktudjlrsmygilug]

@@dragon55017 What really sold it was the deference to ethnic unity with many of the divisions made. The French parts of France were kept by France, among other things, but almost every single instance where a state had control over an area that was not ethnically the same as the hegemon that controlled it, the state became independent or joined are large group of the same ethnicity. It reminds of things like "Free Palestine" and "Free Tibet" being supported in Western countries, with independence from a different group argued as a principle in and of itself, though there are other reasons to support those movements. Its literally the argument the Nazis made for annexing Austria and the Sudetenland. I wonder if they are trying to accelerate the rise of ethnonationalism. Maybe not, as while alternate history can be pretty Alt-Right, this guy likely presents enough hints of being somewhat liberal that it would deter those elements.

[@genovayork2468]

@@lljkgktudjlrsmygilug You're the prime example of seeing what you want to see. Brittany was majoritarily French, Slesvig - Danish, Liège, Namur, Artois, Cambray, most of Luxembourg and French Hainaut were French; Iceland, Greenland and the Færoes spoke neither Norwegian nor Swedish, Hanover was kept under British PU, Norway remained in PU and this Poland has twice to thrice more non-Polish land than Polish. Meanwhile Provence, Avignon, Franche-Comté and Alsace were kept fully by France, Brescia, Bergamo, Istria and Dalmatia by Venice, Ragusa independent. There are literally, hilariously and ironically more examples that contradict your point than ones that support it. And moreover, even if they'd made it fully ethnical (which would've been impossible, further discrediting you), correlating the whole audience with Nazism is... something by which I question your intelligence.

[@lljkgktudjlrsmygilug]

​@@genovayork2468 Two things. 1: You're right about the ethnicities part, and I will cope that I said something stupid because it was midnight. I also thought that a lot of those places leaned towards one ethnicity over the other, so that is a mistake of my own knowledge. An example would be Brittany, where jumped a few steps and assumed they must not have been properly French because they resisted the revolution. This likely drawing from ethnic separatism often occurring in societies with a major political realignment where a different central authority might take away the rights/privileges of a group, like in South Africa with the White population. I also thought the general French perspective towards Brittany was, to a lesser extent, similar to Algeria to late 20th century France, not as extreme though. Do note that I believe that much of the audience that voted to screw over Russia as a prime directive, over-riding the ethnic claim I made. That is my actual belief, and I should have stated it. 2: For the Nazi bit, I don't think that all people who are Alt-Right are Nazis. I also don't think that the majority of the audience of these videos are either Alt-Right or Nazis, with them usually being no more than a third in the highest prevalence. Any attempt to determine how prevalent a group is obscured by a bunch of different factors, and that is the vibe I get. Mock me as much as you want for using "vibe". I'm Australian, so its part of my heritage. I've been in quite a few alt-hist communities, though mostly viewing rather than commenting, for quite a few years, from KZbin to Reddit and stretching from figures like WhatifAltHist and Mr Z to content creators who cover alt-hist who I'm pretty sure are progressive socialists. You will notice quite the overlap of people who are into alternate history and people who are Alt-Right, at least when it comes to those who are vocal and frequently comment. I don't blame the heads of these communities for actively fostering communities where these people frequent. Its just a matter of fact these communities attract the Alt-Right by virtue of their subject matter, like fitness videos. With that said, a content creator that is ambivalent to and especially those that actively supports logic that is amenable to far right politics leaves the doors wide open for them to flood in. On the inverse, those that actively use logic that is left-wing and those that actively make fun of right-wing logic (Such as PH in his parody of WhatifAltHist) have very few Alt Right fans. I've been on the WhatifAltHist subreddit lately and that place is filled to the brim with people who would get heavily downvoted in r/PCM for being too Far Right. Much of what many people in the sub say, with a high amount of upvotes, sounds identical in language and logic to stuff I have heard in actual self-proclaimed Far Right communities where people freely say what variant of fascism they are. I'm currently studying the rise of fascism, specifically Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy (more towards Italy) and what many in that sub say also aligns with actual fascist regimes, not just those in the modern day that ascribe themselves that title. If I wasn't clear with that typed vomit I gave you, I don't think the audience of PH is Alt-Right or Nazis, and I think that the percentage of his audience that is fascist is very low. Of note, the first comment about the voters hating the Hero of the Revolution was a joke, especially since the question was likely interpreted by many to be a roleplay. I don't think the average viewer or voter in the poll of this channel would prefer absolute illiberal monarchy other the liberal absolutist state of Napoleon. I still stand by my claim about Russia though, and that the voters placed their own feelings about modern Russia into the making of this new Congress.

Say hello to Pacte revanchiste (tiny Pax Brittanica reference) with mad Russia and France. Peace for all times ensured! P.S. You probably should've balanced options due to their popularity - maximalist PLC was supported only by 1/3 jf voters, so to keep majority it probablly should've been merged with more patritionist option.

Hannover not being given to Prussia triggers me so hard

[@pavvmit]

Prussia being given literally anything (especially Schleswig-Holstein) triggers me so hard. At least there is hope of extremely angry Russia burning it to the ground for their betrayal

[@genovayork2468]

Be triggered then.

[@Wendeta-hq2cp]

There will be no Austro-Prussian war though since Prussia is the definitive holder of Schleswig-Holsten, so I see this as an absolute win.

[@genovayork2468]

@@Wendeta-hq2cp You're profoundly in need of help if you think no war Austro-Prussian War would take place because of this.

[@Wendeta-hq2cp]

@@genovayork2468 If it will be it sure won't happen over the Denmark annexed lands. Part of the reason Austria went to war with Germany was because Schleswig-Holsten was supposed to be administered by both Austria and Prussia, which in turn triggered Austria's wrath in response to Prussia locking them out of the North German Custom's union. Also chill man.

Tysm for the Italian peace deals, As an Italian, I appreciate it WE'RE WINNING THE FIRST INDIPENDENCE WAR BOYS Although it probably wouldn't happen, at least not like in our timeline

[@antwerp-six]

never let the youtube rewrite your peace deals☠️

I just found this channel and i am already in love with the content

[@s.m.2523]

...I'd be curious as to the nationality statistics of the poll voters because this "treaty" is a netherlands wet dream.

[@sebe2255]

Not really, every Dutch speaker close to the French language border would know that adding even more French people would be a disaster

[@Red_Duc]

Dang Luxembourg is big but what if everything went perfect for them?

[@ThatOneDudeNextDoor]

Russia doesnt gain very much and in fact loses territory it had before the war? Imagine if in the Peace Deal following WW2, the soviet Union had to give up Belarus and the US had to release California even though these two carried the allies, one in Europe, one in the pacific, because redditors said so

[@kubin226]

0:45 duchy of warsaw never joined anti napoleonic coalition, unless it's red because it was occupied

[@kubin226]

plus if we're resoring poland fully to the pre 1 partition then poland should have Kraków (duchy of warsaw also had it) and Gdańsk but considering it would be an enclave I can understand why it could be a part of prussia

[@aguscm4175]

Any timeline where Corsica and Malta fall into (soon to be) Italian hands, can't be a bad timeline.

We've won.... But at what cost? Literally everything else...

Probably *_the_* only winner of the timeline, because the Dutch and Austrians were bound to collapse hard here.

Well, at least we can hook up Metternich's body to a generator and have infinite energy as he spins in his grave as a consequence of this

[@rafaelokamura]

Democracy is a fun thing, this map caused: - Lots of small states in Germany, more than in our timeline at least = easy prey to Austria, Prussia and maybe the UK - Proud bavarians under Habsburg rule = Revolution in mountain region - Great Poland = not only angry Russia, but also Prussia and Austria, leading to a 4th partition - Small Denmark = annexed by Prussia or Sweden - Great Lowlands = in case of a Belgian Revolution they would have more land and maybe put France in the confusion - New italian states = easy prey for Sardinia and austrian resentment I think by the 1890's WW1 already happened in this scenario.

[@KaiHung-wv3ul]

1890s? More like the 1840s or 1850s.

[@HeadsetHatGuy]

Russia and France would most likely ally together against Europe and cause millions of deaths

You should do if everything went perfect for Austria

[@caroldeac467]

Day 11 of asking for what if everything went perfect for Romania

[@Wendeta-hq2cp]

That would be cool not gonna lie. Greater Romania survives communism either as an ally or as an Axis power with Transnistria and West Banat.

[@Prehistorisch_museum]

This is a great deal thanks guys🇳🇱🇳🇱

[@mksushi5754]

Now do a WW2 treaty! Also, I am excited to see what comes next so I hope you will be able to do more of this.

[@benjaminaraya8073]

Oh god can’t wait to see the chaos that be considering how was made from this peace treaty alone

[@ImperatorAugustus]

From this video I can see why the treaty of Versailles was an utter failure. It gave the people too much power over the peace talks unlike the congress of Vienna.

[@svenneshark1594]

There really should have been a fourth option for Catalonia; Make it in a personal Union with Spain. Just like the Luxembourg was in a personal Union with the Netherlands.

you should do this with the 30 Years' War next!

3 ideas: What if everything went perfect for the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth? (like to see it end at ww1, but hard to predict) What if everything went perfect for the Swedish Empire? This one is a bit more out there, but it's something I'd like to see someone competent's take on, what if Bavaria or some other southern german state united the southern parts of germany.

What could possibly go wrong?

The next one should be a Post-American civil war reconstruction decided by you video. It would be interesting to see how a modern and mostly non-American audience deals with dealing with both the former confederate states and the former slave population of the American south. Along with possible future goals of American expansion.

Welp, was to be expected, give them the same votes in 2 to 5 years, they wouldn't have gone to these conclusions. People now think through emotions and mostly "fear" No logics allowed, which is a shame, but explain the current state the world's in right now.
