Bismarck was dismissed because he wanted to crush a strike with the German army. Bismarck was offered the position of foreign minister after he was dismissed from his chancellorship, but he stubbornly refused to accept it.

[@rewriting-history]

I think that Bismarck refused the position of foreign minister out of pride, as he wouldn't accept anything less than a chancellorship

[@styx544]

could you send a source for this? not saying ur wrong i just wanna read into it more

[@sliftyy]

@styx544 The crushing of the strike is well sourced. I believe I read the foreign minister part on Quora, an answer from Andreas König on the question "Was it a wise, or a foolish, move, and reasons for your answer, when Wilhelm II of Germany dismissed Chancellor Bismarck?" says that Bismark was offered to be foreign minister. I don't know of any other sources which claims this to be true, but I haven't really looked.

[@jgr7487]

The easiest way to make a German-British alliance is that Edward VII was never crowned king, so Wilhelm II's good relationship with Queen Victoria could continue to thrive with George V, and the waters would have never been poisoned.

[@rewriting-history]

But Wilhelm II already blocked many proposals by the British, where he had to just accept. Edward VII came to power in 1902, while this alliance would be formed in 1890

[@jgr7487]

@rewriting-history Wilhelm II wasn't talking out of his rear end when he said that the Germans (mostly the Prussians) didn't like the British. It was a fact of the era, and no effort was made to change it from both sides. Besides that, Queen Victoria was the only British royal with whom W2 had good relations, his mother included.

[@YourLocalPolishPatriot]

Here are some neat ideas you could use in the future: -What if the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth was never partitoned? -What if Germany invaded Czechoslovakia in 1938? -What if The Tsardom of Russia collapsed after the Crimean war? -What if Bulgaria or Italy remained Neutral in Ww1? -What if France never invaded Russia during the Nepolenic wars? -What if Germany was partitioned after ww1? -What if Bulgaria joined Yugoslavia? -What if Hungary was never conquered by the Ottomans?

[@rewriting-history]

I have already done 3 of said ideas, but appreciate the list. I have things planned for the second proposal very soon!

[@RicardinioGo96]

The problem with these kinds of scenarios, is that they are based on a single man. In this case, Kaiser Wilhelm II, where you can make the spin to have is father ruling for longer, or having him develop other tendencies or making him live in a different environment when he was growing up. The video (as always) is well-made. This is basically the best case scenario for Great Britain, Germany and Italy.

[@rewriting-history]

I never claimed for it to be realistic, I think the way I did it maximises entertainment

[@RicardinioGo96]

​@@rewriting-history Yeah, I know, it is really, really difficult for alternate history to be realistic, since an event can spin in an infinite numbers of way. But the thought of the "what if" scenario is always very entertaining.

[@jgr7487]

Yeah, right. Let's ignore the fact that Edward VII absolutely hated Wilhelm II and did everything he could to prevent the alliance from happening. The supposed naval arms race was never a threat to Britain. It was a money sink to Germany. The German state and the Austrian-Hungarian state did not claim one another's territory in the end of the 19th century.

[@rewriting-history]

But this alliance would happen in 1890, Edward VII came to power in 1901, what's the problem? Yes they would be at war together, but they would have already been allied for 15 years

1:19 Wilhelm II didn't dismiss Bismarck, he resigned over not being able to oppress workers in Ruhr and banning leftist parties. 0:50 King Edward VII likely wouldn't let this alliance stand, to make this alliance happen you would need to remove Edward but at this point you don't even need Joseph Chamberlain since without Edward, Wilhelm's attempts of making an alliance can succeed. 2:33 Germany increased their navy to protect their trade not to surpass or challenge the British who were envious of Germany's growing economy. 1:54 Wilhelm 2 didn't even want to sign the Kruger Telegraph so sending volunteers to Transvaal is out of character and i want to know your sources, mine are: "The Innocence of Kaiser Wilhelm II", "Kaiser Wilhelm II: A Life In Power", "The Kaiser's Memoirs", "Blood and Iron: The Rise and Fall of the German Empire", "Germany Under Wilhelm II".

I don think he was really dumb tho, he was kinda smart guy

[@rewriting-history]

@@Syrianmapper1 I agree, if he had won the war, he would seem like a genius. The thing is that most people prefer Bismark over Wilhelm, so Wilhelm dismissing Bismark and going against his policies made him unpopular.

[@Holy-Tiramisu]

As a french it hurts my soul. I didn't know that Great Britain and Germany were so close to being allies, thank god they were not in our timeline. Great video as always

[@TemporalBurger]

Small correction at 10:06, by the late 1800s Austria-Hungary had long renounced all serious claims to Venetia-Lombardy, and only the biggest warhawks in the Austrian government had even a notion of the idea of reconquering these states. Not only would it further exasperate internal ethnic tensions, especially considering the fact that Italy not only exists as a unified entity but these territories had also already existed under Italy. It furthermore would be unpopular among the Hungarian side of the empire, seeing it would greaty strengthen the Austrian side with minimal benifit to them. The empire at this point had long already given up projecting any power over the Italian peninsula, and had instead shifted its focus towards the Balkans.

[@rewriting-history]

I see! Still, I was talking about 1890, so Austria still wouldn't have renounced said claims. Thanks for the correction tho!

[@TemporalBurger]

@@rewriting-history My bad, though to be fair by 1890 they most likely would've stopped caring nonetheless. Intrest over the region in the empire pretty much ended with the ceding of Venetia after the Austro-Prussian war.

[@el-gamer2773]

Wilhelm II was bullied in his childhood due to his disability in his left arm, so its natural for him to have resentment for his family

That's such a great idea for a WWII scenarip, because I haven't seen it anywhere before. Great job as usual. Also wow, I can't believe you haven't done a "What if the Soviet Union won the Polish-Soviet War" video yet. Anyways, a couple more suggestions from me would be: What if the Yugoslav Nuclear Programme was carried on and how would this affect its collapse? What if the Soviet Afghan War never began? Unrealistic but a fun one: What if USA went to war with the Ottoman Empire over the Hamidian Massacres of 1896? (Apparently that almost happened, when the captain of an American battleship at Smyrna threatened the Ottomans to refuse orders and "hammer a few turkish towns." See the Wikipedia article about Hamidian Massacres)

[@4realm8rusirius]

24:30. That's pretty much asking for Greco-Bulgarian alliance against the Ottomans with the Italians, likely to dogpile on the Ottomans as well.

[@rewriting-history]

It's very possible, but Germany may choose to keep the Ottomans around, as if they are defeated, the new Turkish state is likely to join Germany's enemies. The fact is that this scenario would suck for the Balkan people, as Bulgaria is still an Ottoman puppet, while many people from the Balkans would be expelled and Turks would fill their place.

In any case, Britain was the first naval and colonial power, they would not have allied themselves with the Germans. The latter would have been a potential colonial rival afterwards, and the British would never have tolerated an European continental power becoming too powerful. As was the case with Louis XIV or Napoleon I for France, or the Habsburg family with Spain and HRE.

[@shimogane2474]

You said that britains first priority was to protect their global interests, but also prevent a an european superpower so they can keep up their trading monopoly better. Having to compete with the us after all is annoying enough, so its very important to keep europe into spheres of influences. So britain would need a second point being accepted at any alliance: germany will prevent any expansionist ideas, without expanding itself. Ofc to protecting britains naval hegemony while not contesting them too. Britain didnt joined france because they hated germany, they wanted to prevent germany winning at all costs. Thats why europe came out more balcanized after ww1, no power really expanded and this was important for britain, and their only ally, the US.

[@grosss_grass]

I could see Austria slip from Germany's hands, or something else happen in favor of the Entente, this seems too easy peasy to be realistic. The most realistic scenario here is Entente simply never going to war against the Alliance, rather just accepting their dominance. Without having needed capacity, it is simply not worth it
