Alternate History Hub did one where Teddy Roosevelt beats Wilson in the 1912 election and basically causes this domino effect where the world is a much better places. the US joins WWI way sooner, causing s quicker ally victory, no communism in Russia, no harsh terms for Germany that allow for the rise of facism and no WWII, etc. I'd be interested to see your take on that one.

That's the beauty of being human, we can disagree, but not have to say someone is "wrong" or that we "hate" them for what we disagree about. Disagreements are an opportunity to open our minds to hear both perspectives/sides. It's like the debates over good vs evil, it is never a clear black n white picture, because where the black n white sides converge there is grey, lots of grey. Good vs evil is the same as where they converge there will be neutrality. My favorite example of this idea; the gazelle thinks the lion that wants to eat him is truly "evil", but the lion holds no malice or hate for the gazelle, he's is just hungry and this is what he must do to survive. This is what I love about you, your open mindedness and seeing your agreements n disagreements as an opportunity to discuss it from both sides/perspectives. I'd say that history would have much more interesting with you as my teacher, but we are nearly the same age, so I would have loved to been your classmate and really discussed all of these things, with open minds and hearts, with no malice for the other just because we didn't agree with each other. For that you are an amazing human! As are the rest of you here in this wonderful community! Am so glad to be a part of it! Thank you!

Listening to this series and pondering the many ways these events in history could have gone down makes me rethink the phrase "War is Peace" or "Peace through War". While many arguments and examples can be made against it it makes you wonder about topics like this where countries or people decided not to fight , simply ignore it, or chose not to get involved in a greater extent how different the world might be.

As someone who was alive in the late 50s early 60s I can attest that no one at that time expected the Soviet Bloc to disappear in their life time, unless it did so in the smoke and blast of a nuclear holocaust. The general view was akin to that of President Kennedy when he described the Cold War as "this long, twilight struggle." On this score I think you are absolutely correct.

@@VloggingThroughHistory Well, the Soviets got the bomb in 1949 right? And considiring that in this timeline germany not only has access to everything the soviets had, but more of pretty much everything, they could theoretically achieve it even faster. Buuuuuuuuuut on the other hand, you also pointed out that the Germans weren't too focused on the bombs, so if we do some heavy estimation and say that those two factors would cancel each other out and they get the bomb the same time the Soviets did, then, well, like you said in the video, its very plausable that they could have gotten the bomb by then (Specifically, you said after the war and I'm going to assume you mean WW2 so 1949 would still fall after 1945)

Or there needs to be some additional factor to explain how they aren't ruling over, at least in part, ruins with an overstretched and drained military and economy. Victory in WW2 does not mean maintaining grip on a sphere of influence, just ask the British Empire.

23:40 I agree with you that Marx was not advocating racialism or the elimination of inferior races, but Marx himself was very racist, you should see what he had to say about Jews (which is ironic because Marx himself was Jewish by Ethnicity). There are some of his writings which, if you did not know it was him who wrote it, you'd think it was a passage from Hitler's book. It also seems that Marx endorsed what we now call "cultural genocide." Which isn't on par with what Hitler was advocating, but it is a very inhumane thought processes. Essentially, Hitler was for racial genocide and cultural genocide. Karl Marx was for cultural genocide.

That’s an outright lie created by leftist Congress historians who wanted to blame communal problems on the British. For the love of God, educate yourself. Hindus and Muslims have been at odds for nigh a millennium. Islamic oppression and conquest has been the bloodiest period of Indian history. Millions killed, enslaved and forcibly converted over the years. Temples destroyed, why to this date only South India has great ancient temples standing, with mosques built in their places. Even our great universities weren’t spared such as Nalanda. Islam is the reason Buddhism is extinct in India. Sharia Law and oppression related to that. Aurangzeb and his infamous hatred of Hindus. For Gods sake, Brits are like the Jews of India, we try and blame them for everything wrong with society, call a spade a spade - Islamic history in India and the nature of Islam is the reason for all the bad blood, not some clever manipulation by the Brits.

I always figured that in a US-Nazi Cold War, South Africa would be a major flashpoint. It wasn't until the post-war period that apartheid got codified into law properly, and power increasingly slipped from the hands of the Anglo South Africans to the Afrikaners/Boers. Whilst not all Afrikaners were Nazi sympathisers, there was generally a positive view of Germany and Germans amongst the Germanic Afrikaners. In our timeline, there was even an Afrikaner neo-Nazi party that emerged in the 1970s, the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging. I imagine with its strategic location and its status as the largest economy in Africa, that South Africa would be a major flashpoint of meddling by those two powers.

A better counter on the Hitler vs Marx is to contrast how people view Marx vs how people view Lenin/Stalin. The latter two, politicians who committed atrocities but did have some philosophical underpinnings are not viewed in nearly the same light as Marx is who was a philosopher and agitator. While Mein Kemp is a broader philosophical underpinning than Lenin and Stalin provided, Hitler's role in history is definitely closer to them.

To me its hard to follow the ideas of that alternative timeline because I 100% disagree with his assumption that the german economy would depend on further expansion. It might be true that germany would try to expand but the reasons would be different. Germany has been an economic powerhouse and is known as the land of innovation and technology. In video 3 that scenario suggests that germany will become an agrarculture and face starvation and massive inflations. This is just unimaginable to me. One thing that I also kinda miss in the video is a perspective on how the life of people living in germany would be. If he talks about it he only talks about the ideology and that people would be socialised into that nazi mindset. But I think it would be interesting to know how that scenario influences the life of the individuals from a sociopolitical perspective. Imo a crucial point about how the americans but also the people of other nations will evaluate the german system a few years after the war will come down to the point how the life is for the individual. People in the soviet union for example were pretty poor. They only were able to choose between like 5 different outfits when they went shopping, had to wait several years until they receive a car they ordered and they had very difficult living conditions. This is what people still have in mind when they think about soviet union. I wonder how it would have been with germany in that alternative timeline, especially under the condition that the german economy would reach new hights.

The entire series neglects China. Assuming that the Germans and US have a hostile relationship, the emergent Maoist China is now on the German’s far border. Does it ally with the Nazis? Unlikely. With the US? This, and the Middle East, would become the major geo-political areas of tension. Also, the further isolation of the US from Europe would have major implications on our policies with South America and Asia.

20:02 About fascism always losing, well, there's... Spain. Since Spain didn't have any relevant impact on foreign policies after its civil war (1936-39), it's normal that people often disregard it. But fascism kinda DID win in Spain. Franco rose to power and established a dictatorship that would last until his death in 1975. He hunted anyone who would oppose the regime, establish Catholicism as the main religion in the country (and mandatory, for his faction arrested people at the beginning of the civil war for even not going to mass), prohibit parties such as the Communist one, ban the right of association, strike, freedom of speech and so on. Some people might say that it wasn't a big deal: "Franco was not Stalin or Mao Zedong" and such, but nowadays Spain is the 2nd country in the world with the largest number of mass graves due to the atrocities committed in the Civil War and its aftermath. Spain didn't get involved in WWII for two reasons: 1) it was devastated right after its civil war (it had finished barely a few months before the invasion of Poland), and 2) Franco demanded a lot of territories in Western Africa Hitler was not willing to give up. And even so, Spain sent a volunteers-only division to fight in the Eastern Front alongside the nazis (it was called the Blue Division if you want to look it up). The point I'm trying to make is there is at least one case were fascism won, even though it kinda died after Franco did. In 1978 Spain restored democracy and all of the values Western countries hold, but we can agree at least that executing Mussolini or having the Nuremberg trials are not the same as letting your dictator die in bed of old age (even though there was some resistance over the decades). Spain is still divided in our current time due to that fact, and with the rise of extreme right movements during the last ten years, it's got even worse. The point I'm trying to make is we, the Spaniards, never needed a novel such as The Man in the High Castle. We already went through it.

India and Pakistan are not as worrisome today as India and China. Both have the largest armies in the world and both have claims on each other’s land.

Agree with him about the founding fathers. We ascribe so much wisdom and power to them and assume that they would make better decisions in our modern world, despite the fact that all showed typical human weaknesses and foibles of their own, and would have no real idea about much of what goes on today. Imagine a founding father trying to get their head around...women with equal rights, women with any rights, black people with any rights, acceptance of homosexuality, women in swimsuits, whites working side by side with minorities, etc, etc... yet we often think they would somehow do things better. Its fantasy and what happens when you make a person out to be something more than human.

at 15:50 you are discussing the fact that the Nazis would have held somewhat stable relations with the arabic people for the oil they have. I have some doubts about it, because since he won ww2 he would also now have access to the oil fields in the Caucasus and Romania. Doesn't that make the oil fields in Arabia a bit redundant?

What is the chance of Germany pursuing the nuclear bomb more heavily if their efforts to obtain large amounts of heavy water had been successful? I was always under the impression that it was this loss of heavy water that caused them to forgo any serious effort to develop the bomb.

It would honestly be weird because think of it this way. Hitler might be viewed in the same way as Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan

Nazism did indeed consider Arabs as racially inferior, but Hitler was recorded in public and in private as being rather admiring of Islam. He also made racial exceptions for individual Arabs who aided his cause.

At 7:00, recognizing the new puppet government was NOT an option for several reasons. The first is that the empire was made of of people who Hitler despised and who knew that only slavery and death waited for them had they let Hitler in. This empire would have been all in with Canada leading the new empire, hell Canadians see that today wrt immigration to the country. Not only would this had occurred, such a scenario would have changed nothing from our timeline. In fact in order for the Nazis wo have defeated the British mainland, they would have had to throw so much into the battle that they reconstituted Canadian led British Empire would have been able to defeat them sooner than did the British with the Americans in our timeline.

Only reason Hitler would have agreed with the Arabs and Muslims at any point is over anti-Jewish beliefs. Not to imply that all middle easterners are anti-Jewish but it seems to be a common thread in that region and in Europe as well.

I agree that The Reich would not have gotten the bomb on their own. But in this timeline they would have been able to "enlist" the Brits. With the resources of both nations combined do you think they would have been able to pull a Manhattan Project off, and would they have even tried?

4:36 "Manpower" for nuke work would not have been a problem for Hitler and his fellow homicidal tyrants. Sending so called "subhumans" to death or sterilization by radiation poisoning in atomic factories would have made them pee their lieder hose with happiness!
