Since I've seen a lot of confusion in the comment - remember I did NOT come up with these borders, and this video is not meant to be realistic. This was based on a vote done by the viewers - the outcome of which were the maps at the end. I simply tried (and it was very difficult, hence the long wait for this video) to create some form of narrative that could justify it.

"History youtube viewers try not to give Germany and Hungary extra land" challenge: impossible

I like how they're trying to make a realistic scenario out of the viewers cooking (they were, in fact, NOT COOKING)

The PRC being Taiwanned into Mongolia is very funny

"Damn... My bad" - Mikhail Gorbachev 1991

next video: how my viewers caused WW3 in the 2000's

If only I had a nickel for every time I saw an althist map with Hungary having Northern Transylvania....

Rare case of possiblehistory viewers not giving half of the Europe to Poland

"The collapse of a superpower is rarely peaceful, especially one that is nuclear armed like the soviets were." 🤓 ackshually the only example of a nuclear superpower collapsing is the soviets, thus 100% of nuclear superpowers who collapsed did so peacefully, thus it's not rarely peaceful at all.

What if everything went perfect for Italy

This is finally out after so long tf

These countries are invading each other like they are doing some normal trade💀

I see now that the reason this took so long was because of how difficult it must have been to make a sensible scenario out of this madness.

never let the viewers vote again

What if Italy was competent But Germany was incompetent (ww2)

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="6">0:06</a> Actually the track record for the collapse of nuclear armed states is pretty good

Have you considered doing a viewer vote on decolonization? I know that’s a much larger scale than these usually are but you could focus on places where there was a struggle between the pro-U.S./pro-USSR/Non-aligned movements.

"... and then, the Soviets invaded Poland and Romania" took me by surprise! Idk why, but for a moment I forgot this was Altenative History hahahhaa

Yay it’s finally here. You must’ve been working really hard on it. I remember Answering the questions quite some time ago

I love the "Germany's army was not created for offensive actions and was relatively small" bit, since in reality their Army was geared for elastic defense & rapid offensives, on top of having the *largest* army on the continent right after the Soviets.

More of these please! Suggestion: Voting For monarchs restorations

The final map looks like post- WW1 map with extra steps

ok, this is even more impossible than all the other scenarios so far

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="48">0:48</a> this is Saint Basil's church, not Kremlin

Thanks For this! Enjoyed the voting! Thanks For all your hardwork 😊😊😊

Well, that roleplay seems so good My suggestion of poll: Viewers do the 1848 Revolutions going well

For the occupation zone, you should use thise red lines for unrecognized borders

So, who else is carefully studying the alliances, treaties, war aims, military strengths, and economic situations of all the relevant countries in order to make reasonable guesses for this newest poll? ... Anyone? Anyone? ... We're going to see massive dog-piling on Russia and Taisho Japan acting like Showa Japan, aren't we?

Next video: "how my viewers created a cold war between the new global superpowers Switzerland and Liechtenstein"

We need a “what if sun yat sen’s china survived”. Would be super nice :)

Super epic video! Some possible next steps: 1) Japanese reconquest of Sakhalin, largely uncontested 2) EEC reforms into EU - All of Western and Northern Europe (except Norway, Germany, Switzerland, and micro states join) - Czechoslovakia, Poland, Slovenia, and Baltic States as partial members until economies up to speed - Joint defence pact stronger than as written in current EU & emphasis on military spending on standing armies a requirement 3) EU invasion of Kaliningrad to eliminate the old communist hard liners as a threat - Kaliningrad then renamed to Konigsberg and returned to Germany; in return, Germany returns conquered territory to Poland - Germany allowed into EU subsequently 4) Istria transferred to Slovenian control to permit port access 5) War breaks out again in Baltics, as Serbs living in Bosnia seek to take power and reintegrate with Serbia; EU (with NATO support) intervenes to support - Belgrade regime swiftly taken down, and new pro-EU government established - Serbia/Bosnia/Montenegro unified into a new Yugoslav state, with EU membership being sought 6) Greek economy in tatters sees far right government come to power, seeking to unify Macedonia, and reconquer Greek land lost during 20th century, including in Anatolia and Cyprus - tensions rise between Greece and Bulgaria & Turkey, where many fear war will break out 7) UN recognition of new states and borders sees Finland make permanent their reconquest of Karelia; new Central Asian states recognized, Japanese ownership of Sakhalin, German control of Konigsberg (Prussia); and Mongolian territorial increase all universally accepted as Moscow, seeking to hold on to what they have, does not challenge these 8) India, now the most populous country, has seen rapid economic growth and has become a top-3 arms exporter during this time as industrial growth has propelled them into a industrializing nation - starts investing in development projects in Africa and is seeing its global influence increase - granted a permanent seat on UN Security Council - secures control over Kashmir, and signs a permanent peace treaty with Pakistan - India provides assurances that it will defend the territorial integrity of all states in its sphere of influence, including Pakistan, Tibet, Central Asia (including Turkestan), much to the consternation of the Beijing government

I liked the style of your earlier viewer votes more where there was no timeline, maybe 2 separate videos could be made, one for the timeline and one counting the votes

Tbh i think that with the joint effort of Poland, Czechoslovakia and Romania against the USSR, their relationships would get really good and they could maybe establish the Intermarium ( as an military and economic aliance ) and invade Hungary together and maybe even invite Ukraine into the aliance

Finally my favorite type of series, trying to somehow justify the choices made by viewers

I love how we all collectively forgot about how he was supposed to make a modern empires video

You can just tell the viewers did it, with or without context. I've been in enough of these things to know it all goes downhill

Viewers always give Finland everything possible

Video idea: what if Frederick III lived longer? I always wonder what Germany's foreign policy would have looked like under Frederick III. (I know a lot of people or should I say MOST people seem to think that the Kaiserreich would be more "liberal" under Frederick III instead of Wilhelm II, BUT would he turn the Kaiserreich into a liberal constitutional monarchy? Not really, people often forget that Frederick's Liberalism is quite unclear.)

What if everything went perfect for... The ottomans The british (everything already kinda went perfect for them but maybe england instead of britain) The spanish The chinese The italians The Portuguese The hungarians The french

You need to do a theoretical version where it is the collapse of the first world, or if the central powers somehow won ww1

I just want to say that the audience participation polls are great fun, and thank you 👍

Despite criticism and lack of realism, I think this is a cool scenario

I know this isn't supposed to be realistic, but I wanted to say something. I personally believe that Eastern Galicia would be given to Ukraine, or more likely the Ukrainians in the region revolting against the Polish to join Ukraine because of Soviet deportation of much of the Polish population in Eastern Galicia.

It took me 10 minutes to realize that you weren't giving a history lesson before going on to the point of the scenario where the viewers intervened. I did think it was a little absurd that Germany invaded Poland again. The 80s would've been way more interesting, if that happened.

PLEASE WHAT IF EVERYTHING WENT PERFECTLY FOR ALBANIA

Here is an interesting scenario: what if Britain never did the Galipoli campaign and instead invaded the kiel area?

What if everything went perfect for the Qing?

That is really intresting scenario, and I would love to see part 2.

"I want China to control Mongolia" Monkey's paw curls <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="788">13:08</a>

when do we get a remaster of the "what if portugal gained all of africa" video 😭

I’ve been waiting for this video for so long.

Oh this is gonna be fun ❤

YAAAAY FINALLY HEERE!!! :D Been excited to see the results! :D

What I think would make for a really interesting video is what if the 1830 revolution didn't happen (or the Bonapartists or Royalists). It would cause major change in French Politics, possibly alarming the other European powers more and creating a sense of scepticism toward the French.

I missed the vote again, but this video is prolly gonna be fire. Hold for judgement

Yo, I did the form for this a while ago, glad to see the video is finally up!

Finally, I remember voting like a month or two ago

The voting thing was like 5 months ago, and now we can see how everyone voted on this new world!

It’s finally here!! Also for the record I didn’t vote for anything to be given to Hungary

Dark is the night, my friends. Yet PH lights it up!

1. With Taiwan now Chinese, the Americans are wary of the chance of Chinese expansion into the Pacific. 1-1. They negotiate Korean and Japanese goodwill by getting them to recognize the Japanese claim on the Senkaku islands and the Korean claim on the Dokdo islands mutually, settling any future territorial disputes between them and founding a tie for military cooperation. 1-2. The newly independent Dali nation joined the ASEAN. And America now backs ASEAN in its goal to form a coalition similar to the EU, to counterbalance the future Chinese expansion into the region.

Something tells me that Hungary is not going to be able to hold on to that territory for very long as soon as the Soviets start to collapse internally...

"Mr. Gorbachev! Tear down this wall!" ~ Ronald Reagan

FINALLY! I have waited for months! Glorious!

What if possible history actually made alternate history videos

What if everything went perfectly for Canada

I am like 99,9% sure i have already answered the poll for British neutrality weeks ago???? Meanwhile the scenario in this video doesn't ring any bells (but i might have just missed that poll).

I'm sure that Poland doesn't have territorial conflicts with czechoslovakia and romania at the end

Finally I’ve been waiting for this for 5 months

In the words of a wise man: "You know how long I been waitin for this?"

i just finished the vote. think next vote video will be very interesting

Up until the Hungarian gains in Slovakia and Transylvania I thought this was an actual real war that happened in 1992

What if after WW1 the communists recaptured Poland and the Baltics and the communists also win in the Finnish civil war

Wow, that’s crazy, would’ve never guessed that’s how it happened:0

What if everything went perfect for Luxembourg

Please make a what if everything went perfect for italy

Well, we did it. We managed to create the most cursed map possible.

Finally, took you long enough

I'd just point out if everyone was dogpiling on Russia, Japan would retake the Kuril Islands and possibly Sakhalin.

What If everything went perfect for Greece 🇬🇷 (Day 4)

As a Czech I see that as victory ,of course southern Slovakia is lost but ,hey Czechoslovakia got some territories from Poland and Soviets… Victory

Possible History Viewers being unbiased reasonable people who understand how revolts work challange

Man not even the Taiwanese want to unify with China that is such funny larp on the voter's part 😭😭

Please make a "what id everything went perfect" video for Ukraine. I think her history is quite interesting for that situation, there are many divergences and different outcomes, so in my opinion it would make an interesting video.

Hell Yeah. I just finished all of the episodes in this series and the new drops.

What if the Netherlands remained part of the Holy Roman Empire? What if the Abbasid Caliphate survived the Mongol invasions? What if the Frankish Empire tried conquering Muslim Spain? What if everything went perfectly for the Latin Empire in 1204? What if the Europeans never discovered the Americas? What if Persia conquered the Eastern Roman Empire? What if the Mongols conquered Constantinople?

I suggest in another this type of video with viewers voting you should at the end tell how do you perceive this timeline and how realistic in your opinion this scenario is

Just put my vote in for the next video.

HELL YEAH ITS FINALLY HERE!!

I feel like, for the sake of fairness, we should do a viewer vote on the collapse of the United States and it's allies.

In this timeline, I imagine large and prolonged ethnic conflicts in China, especially as this would happen early into the economic reforms and before they are fully solidified as the worlds factory. Korea likely has to give up chinese holdings unless the USA intervenes and will need stimuluous as they stagnate to integrate North korea. I expect the USA to allow the new regimes to hunt political prisoners and a policy of supporting the sepratist groups of China until they are stable. As for russia and Eastern europe, I imagine more wars and an impotent russia. Finland may try to keep the territory unless russia intervines. Romania and Hungary would be at war, and the multitude of border disputes would be an issue for poland. If it's settled through diplomacy, likely some amount of border disputes are solved but to nobody's satisfaction and divided economic and diplomatic blocks with a possible german split from Western europe. The war path is hard to say as right after the collapse resources would be scarce. Whoever the USA backs will likely win my money is on Hungary being punished, germany being forced to peace, and poland ending up smaller. East europe is just a massive quagmire for years before stablity is reached, and honestly, it's anyone's game with the USA being a kingmaker of sorts.

NEVER let Possible History viewers cook.

What if Francisco Morazan's Centroamerica succeeded and managed to stay united.

Tension absolutely had not subsided even a bit by the 80s, in fact the 1983 Able Archer exercise was one of the times the two superpowers got closest to nuclear war

What if everything went perfect for possible history❤

I was bouta pay my ransom to the kgb but this came out so I gotta watch

The viewers did NOT cook with this one. (I want to gouge my eyes out)

Goddayum this more outlandish than russian dreams of a 3 day ukraine war

Invasion Kazakhstan in Russia was then impossible. At least because at the time of 1991, the Slavs constituted the majority with Germans in Kazakhstan , ahh viewers.

I’ve wanted to see this scenario for years
