Alt-History involving Austria is uncommon so this is really interesting. Great video as always.

[@shinsenshogun900]

A fair insight, given what is in the surface of the iceberg of alternate worlds

[@goldensword777]

There's a hoi4 mod called der bruderkrieg. It's about if Austria won the Austro-Prussian war

[@madpig7120]

Or it's just a "if austria hungary survived"

[@paulpriglinger4154]

Not really, the difference is that austria won against prussia, but suffered a defeat in a greater war, altough the defeat was more political and economicly bad then territorialy. Meaning austria lost no land.​@@madpig7120

[@zombieslayer1468]

that is such a good mod@@goldensword777

[@justinian-the-great]

Honestly, I think you should do a video on what if Prussian king did accept to become the German emperor in 1848, since that would have huge implications on everything after that. Like would new Germany intervene in Crimean war? Would they allow Italian unification? Would Franco-Prussian war happen earlier? Would this early Germany even intervene in 1848/49 revolutions in Austria? That would be one interesting timeline to explore.

[@Emperor-ofRome]

That a great scenario ❤❤

[@BelugaTheHutt]

Alt-hists involving an 1848 German unification are fascinating, but they might be tricky to engineer in the most straightforward of fashions. I'm pretty sure that accepting the crown would've triggered war - though granted, only Russia and Denmark were truly in a position to wage war with Prussia at the time, and only Russia could've done so alone. Important to keep in mind that within a year or so, Austria returned to capability to wage offensive war, and France is in a similar state. That really doesn't give Prussia and the rest of the 1848 German Empire much time to prepare. It's not just Frederick William IV's disdain for accepting a crown he did not believe was the Frankfurt Assembly's crown to give. It's also just the raw power politics situation in Europe at the time. Most of the plausibility I could envision would involve his son, the OTL eventual Kaiser William 1st to accept the crown as German emperor and abdicate his role as crown prince of Prussia in order to mollify surrounding nations. They could work closely hand-in-hand in practice, but officially, they'd remain separate states. It could be de facto unification, but not de jure unification. Further down the line, you could see a personal union being cemented by a dynastic marriage. The closest I can imagine a "natural" unification by non-military means for an 1848 German Empire uniting de jure with Prussia would be Frederick III being allowed to inherit both his grandfather's crown in 1861, and his father's crown in 1888. But would Frederick III even be the liberal reformer that modern historians love him for in this timeline? A huge part of his intellectual and philosophical development came from his time spent in the university town of Bonn, and his father softened on the notions of liberalism while spending time in England after having fled Berlin in 1848 - he had to flee Berlin because the citizens wanted him dead, for his role in commanding Prussian troops to fire grapeshot from cannons into the crowds of protestors/rioters/revolutionaries. So much of this particular alt-hist depends on the personalities of 3 specific royals of the Prussian dynasty, and 2 of those personalities were shaped greatly by the 1848 revolution themselves. In response to your question about the Crimean War, it's important to keep in mind that the OTL reasons for Austria and Prussia not intervening still apply. Russia had the capacity to logistically support massive armies in Eastern Europe, whereas their ability to fight in Crimea were limited. The interventionary stage of the Crimean War was effectively a limited war, because each side was operating what functioned as essentially expeditionary forces in a region far from their natural power centers and easy logistical trains. If Prussia and Austria had joined the war OTL or the German Empire (1848) had joined the war in this timeline, then they would've been the parties doing the majority of the fighting and dying. Russia could very well win the war in Eastern Europe, at the same time as simultaneously losing the war in the Black Sea. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense for a German power of Central Europe to join the Crimean War on the side of the British and French, unless Russia was already in a state of financial exhaustion, and they were just being opportunistic in seizing lands close to the border when Russia no longer had the finances to fund a large-scale war in Eastern Europe.

[@antorseax9492]

The only way I can think of that happening is if Fredrik III ascended far earlier than OTL, and I'm not sure when he gained his more liberal views.

Austrians in the future: *something incomprehensible in Swiss*

[@DakuHonoo]

wait wait wait, i was in a military museum in Prague last weekend and there was a plaque near prussian and austrian rifles of the era displayed, claiming austria lost on tactics, because it was technically better armed, the rifles were better in all but one aspect - breach loading - faster reload speeds of the prussian rifles that were innaccurate, unreliable and less powerful - alas Austria engaged in close combat tactics despite having their advantage at range and disadvantage close up.

[@matthiuskoenig3378]

Austria also had superior artillery, but in all aspects. Prussia still had smooth bore mussle loading artillery. Krupp breech loaders came later. While austria had superior rifles breech loaders. In every battle the Austrians had decisive long range firepower advantage and only lost battles when they assaulted prussian infantry in rough terrain.

[@fireandblood8142]

Exactly, this is what I tried to explain in my comment, I am disappointed by PH on this video, he clearly did no research on the conduct of the war to assert that the Austrian army was doomed to failure

[@michaelthomas5433]

Here is an example of Austrian tactics. As said here Austria had already agreed to give up Venice before the war even started. However rather than try to buy Italian neutrality by simply giving it to them or at least not sending armies to defend the territory and using them against Prussia, Austria decided to keep a large bulk of their army there and fight over it for "honour's sake". I mean.. they DID beat the Italians, of course they still had to give up the land so..

[@alexzero3736]

Yes, you're correct. There are big video about this war on Real Time history channel, including comparison of armaments.

[@evanneal4936]

The Prussian rifles weren't inferior, only before the war, then after it started they developed into the first modern bolt action rifles almost immediately. The Prussians had breech loaders and could shoot farther, faster and more accurately than the Austrians which is why they won EVERY major battle. The place you saw was biased because it was their country once. But it's fake news. Even if you are right, that means the Prussians were so well trained that even with worse weapons they were able to be more accurate than the Austrians. But they were only less accurate because of smoke, if you could handle the smoke discharged by the breech you could aim the gun better than what the Austrians had. For example let's say the Austrians fired 8 shots out of 10 accurately, the Prussians were still doing 7 or 7.5 out of ten, but also getting 60 rounds a minute to Austrias 10 to 15 rounds a minute. The faster fire rate, better range and damage was well worth the very slight accuracy reduction. Otherwise why did we switch to the Prussian bolt actions later on instead of staying with the Austrian rifle muskets? Because the world saw and agreed that the breech loaded guns, despite being SLIGHTLY less accurate were better in every other way. Accuracy can be improved by training anyway. The Prussians were so much better trained that they could be more accurate than the Austrians even with less accurate guns.

Austria was bad from 1867-1914 because Hungary kept vetoing EVERYTHING “Want to go to war with Prussia during Franco-Prussian war” “vetoed by Hungary” “wanna do some economic reform?” Nah vetoed by Hungary

[@theemperor-wh40k18]

Hungary vetoing everything seems to be a recurring theme...

[@TheAustrianAnimations87]

@@AdvancedGamer- It's true though. Austria-Hungary from 1867 to 1914 never had any violent revolutions unlike Russia and the Ottoman Empire. It also had far better literacy rates than the other two empires. The main reason why Austria-Hungary collapsed was because of food shortages. Farmers were conscripted, the Galician food production was stopped and the British naval blockade caused this. So Austria-Hungary was unable to import food from other countries and Germany itself was short on food. This caused protests everywhere in Austria-Hungary and also rapidly increased the desertion rates. "Austria was bad from 1867-1914 because Hungary kept vetoing EVERYTHING" Hungary opposing to help France was actually a good thing. Austria was still recovering from its defeat and Prussia made an agreement with Russia to get Galicia if Austria helped France. And about economic reforms, keep in mind that Hungary was the place where electrical industry was important (despite being a huge breadbasket). Austria-Hungary prior WW1 was the 3rd largest oil producer worldwide, had the 2nd largest European railway system (surpassing France and Britain, not counting Russia), had the 4th largest machine-building industry in the world and was the world's 3rd largest manufacturer and exporter of electric home appliances, electric industrial appliances, and power generation apparatus for power plants. A huge problem though was Hungary opposing more military spending for the inevitable Great War. It was one of the mainr easons why Austria-Hungary performed so poorly during WW1.

[@plasmakitten4261]

I do think it's important to remember that as long as Prussia holds Silesia, which is the most powerful industrial province in east-central Europe, they will have an advantage in wars like this. A more interesting way to achieve this kind of scenario could be to invert either the War of Austrian Succession or the Seven Years' War, as that would actually change the balance of power in Germany much more.

Interesting video but a couple counterpoints: -If Austria really wanted to, they could've easily modernized their military to be on equal footing with Prussia.

(Save for perhaps Slovenia and Czechia, which the Germans, Slovenes, and Czechs would all probably tolerate.)

Love your scenario! I always considered it a great tragedy that Prussia was the one to unite Germany as their dominant militarism had many unfortunate consequences. I do, however have one slight disagreement with your assessment You described the military situation as hopeless for the Austrians. While it’s certainly true that factors like the Dreyse Needle gun or the greater authority of the Prussian general staff as well as an overall advantage in quality tipped the scales in Prussia’s favour, there were still some opportunities the greatly weaken them. -The fact that the planned linkup between Hanoverian and Bavarian forces never occurred, which would haven given them an advantage of about 5:3 over the western army of Prussia, thus allowing them to threaten supply lines of the main prussian forces in Silesia/Bohemia, was mainly down to Bavarian inaction and the lack of faith the Hanoverian King and leadership had in their position. This of course led to the whole Langensalza debacle. -The material advantage has not entirely on Prussias side. Austrian artillery was far superior, being rifled. Their cavalry has also been described as better, as evidenced by them covering the retreat at königgrätz and their heroic (although deadly) charge at the second battle of custozza. -Königgrätz itself was going well for the austrians roughly until midday. The battle was mostly lost due to insubordination and the useless skirmishs the austrians fought prior. It also showed that in a well prepared defensive, the advantage of the needle guns was somewhat lessened. -The Austrian strategy itself has also often been criticised, as the offensive plan, favoured by Archduke Albrecht, who beat the Italians in the South despite being numerically disadvantaged, would have called for defeating the Prussian armies seperately, before they could unite in Bohemia, as Moltke’s plan called for. This was historically of course dismissed, with the overly cautious Ludwig von Benedek being appointed to command the northern army despite his initial refusal to take the post. How well the Austrians would have fared on the offensive is hard to say, I personally wouldn’t bet on this offensive succeeding. The most pressing issue of the Austrian forces, in my opinion was their use of the utterly outdated “Stoßtaktik”, which saw their infantry charging the enemy in big formations. Ultimately, even the Prussian leadership was not sure of their victory until the afternoon of Königgrätz. Bismarck, as a famous anecdote goes, traveled to the field with a suitcase full of foreign currency, as he’d be ruined should the war be lost. I would be interested if you came across the points during your research. If not, I can hardly blame you, as the Brothers War is not that well known or popular.

The wiki page for the battle of konigratz says if Austria actually pressed forward they could have won the battle and destroyed the Prussian army. Konigratz came down to the wire. If Italy was not in the war, the addition of south army would have won the war for Austria as the Prussian army was stuck with mountains to their back with no supplies, it wouldn't have been long, it would have ended just a little after it did in OTL, Austria isn't getting beaten around. In 1866 the quality of the 2 armies wasn't very different.

The idea that Austria could hold out long enough for a British blockade to cause 4 major countries to fall into economic collapse and anarchy before they reach Vienna and with no Hungarian revolt is FUCKING HILARIOUS 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👹👹👹😭😭😭😭😭

[@TheAustrianAnimations87]

Well, if Austria just became militarily as strong and competent as the German Empire, then it might be possible. But in real life it's unrealistic and Austria would lose.

[@germanshepherd2701]

@@TheAustrianAnimations87 Yeah it’s true. It’s alternate history so of course it’s possible for them to have have done better and instituted military reform. It’s just cuz he never mentioned such advancements in the video so I imagine the same/similar military capabilities in that situation and they wouldn’t be able to last. Few major powers could lol

[@dano4996]

@@TheAustrianAnimations87 Austria had long diplomatic traditions but not military one. Therefore I don't think they would have something like a german army to defend themselves. And even with a very good army, France, Russia and Prussia is just too much

Day 14 asking for "What if Everything Went Perfect for Romania"

[@PetarDjerkovic]

I don't like how the stronger nations just take over the smaler countries . For example Montenegro. A nation that beat the Ottomans countles times just gets in Austrias sphere of influence .

[@matthiuskoenig3378]

Sphere of influence is also a result of ecconomy. Montenegro simply doesn't have the ability to hold off ecconomic power.

In the alternate WWI, I think a potential American entry against the British, allying with both France and Germany, is extremely likely as well. An England/Austria vs France, Italy, Germany, Russia, and America is possible in a long term scenario.

[@enguerrandleblanc2399]

also, when you divide Africa you missed the fact that France give up Egypt to Britain to gain an alliance. So in that timeline it is not possible that a victorious empire would let himself be

[@AdvancedGamer-]

They didn’t give up Egypt they gave up Sudan So Uhm yeah
