What If Rome Returned Modern Day?

Today, we take a look at a scenario where Rome returns modern day. The Roman Empire was one of the largest empires in history, and one of the strongest as well. What would happen if they reclaimed their European and African borders in the modern day? Rome would undoubtedly be a threat to the world, as it would claim a lot of valuable land and countries. Countries like France, Italy, Spain, and Turkey would cease to exist. With this, Rome would look to expand its borders further into Europe, threatening any remaining countries. It could take an impossible alliance of countries to stop this threat. If you enjoy this video, make sure to...

0:00 So today we're gonna be taking a look at 0:01 a scenario where Rome reappears in the 0:03 modern day of course the Roman Empire 0:05 was one of the largest in history and 0:07 honestly it's kind of amazing how it 0:09 held together for so long but it is back 0:10 here in 2023 or whenever you're watching 0:13 this and it's just as strong as it was 0:15 back then if not even stronger and of 0:17 course they're gonna be possessing 0:18 powerful countries such as France Italy 0:20 turkey all those guys are really strong 0:22 so they get all their equipment all 0:23 their military stuff like that and this 0:25 possibly could be the strongest country 0:26 in the world so if you guys do enjoy 0:28 this video make sure to leave a like on 0:29 it and subscribe to the channel if 0:30 you're new we're on day two of daily 0:31 upload week I'm still trying to get to 0:33 100 000 subscribers so if you haven't 0:34 subscribed already make sure to do so 0:36 we're gonna try to get there before the 0:38 end of January although there's no real 0:39 like deadline anyway let's go ahead and 0:41 jump right into this video so Rome has 0:43 just reappeared in the modern day and 0:45 obviously 0:46 um the world is going to be very 0:47 confused how this ancient empire has 0:49 just resurfaced considering that that 0:52 it's made up of like a lot of different 0:53 groups that wouldn't get along like the 0:55 Turks or the Israelis and the 0:56 Palestinians uh the Spaniards and the 0:59 Moroccans the there's a lot of groups 1:01 here that want to mix it well together 1:02 but somehow in some way Rome has 1:04 reunited now it is important to note 1:06 that this isn't a 100 accurate border um 1:08 I tried my best just to like look off a 1:10 reference and then redraw it onto the 1:12 map it's close enough to where it's 1:13 still considered Rome also I didn't know 1:15 that the border between England and 1:17 Scotland is literally the Roman border 1:18 that was made hundreds of years ago so 1:20 that's kind of interesting how they cut 1:21 that as the Border anyway Rome's first 1:23 task as a new um country Empire thing is 1:26 to invade the remainder of Austria and 1:28 the remainder of mondova these are weak 1:30 countries who um well they're barely 1:32 even existing at this point and Rome's 1:34 just gonna finish them off in order to 1:35 get the extra land so there goes Austria 1:37 and there goes Moldova Rome has just 1:39 expanded for the first time and Europe 1:40 is absolutely terrified of this monster 1:42 right here because honestly they're 1:44 gonna have their way with Europe I mean 1:45 I don't see how they could protect 1:47 themselves looking at the countries 1:48 which have been affected by Rome's 1:50 existence obviously the UK which is just 1:51 broken down to Scotland and Northern 1:53 Ireland Germany lost a big chunk of land 1:55 um the northern African countries here 1:57 are going to be screwed because they 1:58 don't have access to that Mediterranean 1:59 but actually Algeria with all their 2:01 stuff up here same thing with Libya and 2:03 Tunisia they're Bailey surviving over to 2:05 the Middle East Iraq is like not even 2:07 there Iran took a hit but nothing too 2:09 crucial same thing with Saudi Arabia 2:11 Egypt is pretty much done overall the 2:14 world around Rome is hurting and that's 2:15 gonna make Rome very happy so now Rome 2:17 is going to go after a couple more 2:19 countries and those countries are going 2:20 to be the ones that are barely surviving 2:21 so Iraq Georgia and Azerbaijan at this 2:24 point no one dares to try to stop Rome 2:26 because they're just too much too fast I 2:28 managed to wipe out the caucuses and 2:29 soon after we had the fall of Iraq but 2:32 now we finally have some countries doing 2:33 some things first off we have Ireland 2:35 and Scotland as well as Northern Ireland 2:37 uniting into the Celtic Union not much 2:39 of a big game changer for them but I 2:41 guess they're better off together than 2:42 they are alone Germany and the remainder 2:44 of the Netherlands united into just 2:46 Germany and another country that joins 2:48 that is surprisingly enough going to be 2:49 Checkers or just check yet not czolakia 2:52 Slovakia is going to chill on their own 2:53 they're going to try to peace out with 2:54 Rome but Rome's not having any of that 2:56 then we have another Union breaking out 2:57 between Norway Sweden Denmark and 2:59 Iceland Island so just changes to try to 3:01 get more power into their hands nothing 3:03 much nothing too major but nonetheless 3:05 you're still going to try to prevent 3:06 Rome's expansion but now Rome is going 3:08 to take their eyes off of Europe in the 3:10 Middle East and go into Northern Africa 3:11 where they um they don't have as much 3:13 land as they'd like first off they're 3:15 going after Morocco troops enter in from 3:17 the north and are going full force uh 3:19 Morocco is gonna be able to defend off a 3:21 little bit here but once again it is 3:22 basically just this like all these 3:24 armies within these countries are united 3:26 together under Rome so that's going to 3:28 be like near to impossible to stop so 3:29 the Romans quickly go down into Morocco 3:31 they take what the most valuable land is 3:33 considered and eventually Morocco 3:35 surrenders we see full annexation by 3:37 Rome and a bunch of Roman troops sitting 3:39 on the border of Algeria but Algeria it 3:41 does have a little bit of a trick up 3:43 their sleeve and that trick is to unite 3:44 with all the other countries who lost 3:46 land from Rome but there is just one 3:48 thing that's wrong with this and that is 3:50 the latter of what I just said which is 3:52 countries that lost land to Rome and 3:53 like I said earlier on the video North 3:55 Africa lost all of its valuable land and 3:58 is literally just like a few Maybe 3:59 populated areas along the border and 4:02 then desert so yeah this might not have 4:05 been the best move for all these other 4:06 countries the Romans start their 4:08 invasion in over here from Morocco where 4:10 their troops were already lying across 4:11 the border we also see them use their 4:13 armies over here in your Carthage and 4:14 pushing in from here and overall we are 4:16 seeing a majority of Rome's assets over 4:18 here in Algeria because that is where 4:20 they mostly plan to invade I'm sure they 4:22 did have some scouting troops along this 4:24 border just to like you know Scout but I 4:27 don't think they're geared up for an 4:28 invasion so surprisingly enough if it's 4:30 surprising at all the blue team will be 4:32 able to gain some land here and it's

[@ribspice1238]

England and Scotland’s borders are actually slightly different to that of Romes. As the Roman border runs along Hadrian’s Wall, which was built by the Roman to keep the Scots out. If we used the Roman borders, Scotland would actually be much larger, taking much of England’s North East. However, their modern day border runs via the River Tweed which is a more diagonal than straight split across the two. Figured I’d just say this, didn’t mean this in an angry way or anything lol love the content btw
