The Germans created the Schlieffen Plan to quickly defeat France and Russia and end World War 1 in a few months. This did not happen and the war ended the German, Austria, Russian, and Ottoman empires. Today I explore how the Schlieffen Plan could have worked and what would have changed if it did.

[@jedinathan]

As to the WW2 in this timeline. Whichever side the USA joins after Japan inveitably attacks the USA because Japan's Imperial ambitions in the Pacific would come to clash with the US no matter the scenario and they remained sore about the US forcing them to open up to begin with, the countdown for Pearl Harbor began the moment Commadore Parry sailed into Japan's waters to break the door of isolation down and really once the Tokugawa Shogunate fell during the Boshin War the two powers were set on a collision course. Basically though whichever side the US joins is the one that wins, even with the US having stayed neutral in WWI the US still would have become a major global power due to geography and many other factors. General rule whoever kicks that sleeping giant is the one that loses. It's the number one rule of warfare for a reason because everyone that has done it always ended up failing. Also before anyone brings up Vietnam and Afghanistan the former was basically started by the US government using a false flag attack so in that case we weren't the agressor and in the case of Afghanistan our main targets of that invasion the leaders of Al Qaeda behind the 9/11 attacks were killed and Al Qaeda has never recovered so I'm going to consider that a win.

[@user-sr6zb4vv1m]

Nah I feel like that if Japan is on Great Britain's side then there less likely a chance of them striking the US, as Japan could pressure Britain into giving influence in China, land in the Raj and South East Asia. Plus if Britain goes to war with the Imperial Brotherhood Japan will be attacking Russia in the underdefended Russian Far East. And even if Japan attacked USA I'd like to think they are much more prepared for this, as they are not as stretched out in our timeline, plus they do have Britain on there side and it would stretch out the Americans much more on the homeland border with Canada, the Pacific were Japan would have much more free reign to cause havoc and war crimes and the Atlantic with Britain. In the end I feel like it would be too much pressure for the Americans. 2 Naval superpowers against the up and coming USA plus the land border with Canada. Not saying that they're going to be fully annex by Britain or Japan, but either become a puppet or close allies with the winners (reverse Japan USA scenario) or just surrenders and calls it a day. You could argue nukes but in this timeline the Americans could only really strike Canada as they don't have the range. With who they join with I could see them making there own faction, something like Pax Americana or something, because they don't really align with the Central Powers, I mean maybe the Imperial Brotherhood since Quebec is right there but I dunno. You are correct with whoever kicks the sleep giant is the one that loses, but that's only because the only ones who were dumb enough too were small rebel insurgencies and a overstretched undersupplied Japanese Empire. And everybody knows 9/11 was a inside job, "Oh shit we just suddenly lost trillions of dollars what do we do?" They only invaded Afghanistan because Oil, and for Vietnam it was there insane thought of the commies spreading. Name me one communist country that's grown into an economically, morally and militarily strong country.

The SCHLIEFFEN PLAN may of never existed according to Gerhard Ritter, I'd suggest you read Kritik eines Mythos by him

[@hackman669]

Perfect the Turks in our time over the Empire. 😅

[@hafor2846]

The problem with any such scenario is that the Schlieffen plan is completely unrealistic by 1914. There's a reason why it was called the Schlieffen-plan while the current man in charge of it was called von Moltke. It really doesn't matter how many soldiers Germany has at the Western front, simply because they would never get into position in time, the roads and trains simply weren't built for it. The Schlieffen plan was concieved back when train systems were far less built up and mobilization took a lot longer. By 1914, mobilization, especially in countries like Germany or France, which had well thought out mobilization tables and good rail networks happened in weeks, not months. And no matter what, the German army would always meet mobilized French troops in their way, instead of cutting between them and surrounding them. Even the entire German army couldn't deliver this outcome anymore, because adding more soldiers to a traffic jam doesn't somehow make them move faster. Despite this, the Schlieffen plan was a desired outcome for the German political and military elite. It gave them the hope that they could deliver a decisive blow to France and avoid a two-front war. They didn't want to hear that it wasn't going to work, so no one told them. Even though the plan became more and more impossible, they still just adhered to it. Von Moltke "solved" this by drafting a plan that just ignored reality and had several divisions just randomly appear in France at the flanks of the German spearhead, but in reality there was simply no way for these troops to get there in time. In the end, it's a testament to the German army that they got as far as they did, but at the same time this plan prevented anyone in charge to change course and actually try something different, instead of slavish adherence to a plan that wont work. As an example and maybe idea for another video, if German high command had accepted that the Schlieffen plan was impossible now, they might just let Belgium be neutral and concentrate on the Eastern front. The only way the Schlieffen plan would work would be fatal errors by the French or randomly giving Germany a 20 year technological advantage.

[@Wendeta-hq2cp]

Actually, some historians argue that the plan was not executed correctly and if it were, it would have worked, better than our timeline at least.

Interesting! Coming from a French Canadian background myself, if France gained influence in Québec against Great Britain, that would be interesting to see. Québec is always fighting against Canada anyway. I don't see Québec having that unity against Canada right now, because of eastern and western divisions in Québec. However, France could have influence like that in its former colony if tensions were still the same way as in the 1700's. I'm sure it would be short lived though.

[@canonparty4779]

Honestly, with the combined fleets of Britain AND Japan during World War II, assuming there was no fleet restrictions like in our timeline, I don't see the French faction's navy standing an iota of a chance outside of home ports. You didn't touch much on the Kriegsmarine, so maybe they're a force to be reckoned with, but I DO see Italy's fleet being a huge presence in the Mediterranean. Could even have them decide the outcome of the Spanish civil war, what with their home ports being so close by. The Suez would likely fall due to the proximity of both Italy AND French Jerusalem, so Britain might have trouble holding onto that, but anything outside of those inland seas would definitely be fully within the control of the British and Japanese navies. The smartest thing for Britain to do, is to let France fight a 2 front war, (Perhaps taking lessons from their foray into France during the syndicalist uprising?) against Germany and Italy in the East, and Britain in the North. I think it really falls down to where the United States throws it's hat in. We've got a similar situation to WWI in that the Great Powers of this timeline easily balance each other, keeping a decisive victory far from hand. With the population and industrial output of a (Woken Giant) United States, I see it really pushing the scales in favor of whichever side they join. It could be a tossup, but I believe the British and Japanese factions would win JUST on the control of the shipping lanes alone. If they aren't able to repel German air force attacks or stave off a, Sealion-esque invasion from the Germans or French, then they lose, but as we saw in our own timeline, that was immensely difficult to plan for the Germans WITHOUT a war against a revanchist France. (That might be pushing it, but well whatever).

Regarding the so-called Schlieffen Plan, I would recommend reading "recent" historical research based on new sources that became available in the early 2000s. Check out Terence Zuber's great work: The Real German War Plan 1904-14. Essentially there was no such thing as the Schlieffen Plan. On the contrary, Schlieffen's actual recommendation/plan was to do the exact opposite and use Germany's interior lines, meaning NOT to march into France.

[@Kaiser_von_Europa]

Idea: what if the German Empire and Austria Hungary united. This is how I think it will go: it's 1908 Austria Hungary just annex Bosnia but this cause more tensions within the empire and still unable to make reforms cuz of the deadlock with the Magyars. Franz Joseph and other Austrian officials see the writing on the wall that the empire will collapse soon and so, they propose a unifications with the German Empire to save themselves and their crumbling empire. This empire will be called the "Central European Empire" or "Mitteleuropäisch Reich" for all the ethic groups in this crazy empire. This empire will be under a diarchy by the two royal houses of Hohenzollern and Habsburg with a constitution similar to either the Austro Hungarian Empire (constitutional monarchy) or the German Empire (semi constitutional monarchy). I would also think that this new empire will either oppressed all the minority ethic groups cuz there are more Germans now or give them autonomy and turn the empire into a federal state similar to the USA with each ethic group having their own state and say in their local government.
