What if Western Rome Survived Instead of the East? | Alternate History

In this alternate history scenario I explore a world where the Western Roman Empire managed to survive, while the Eastern Roman, or Byzantine Empire fell. In a sense, an opposite world of the one we know.

Got to love an actual alt-history video and not a history vid with 2mins of alt-history at the end.

The biggest criticism of mine would be the assumption that Rome continuously had competent, or "better than absolutely insane" emperors in this alt timeline.

I think you forgotten the fact that the majority of the grain in the Roman Empire came from Egypt. There will be many more large famines, as we’ve seen causes a lot of assassinations.

Interesting and well thought out but I have a few criticisms:

I've been looking for a good Western Roman Empire alternate history for a while, so thanks a lot!

[@wow-roblox8370]

If I were to have one critique of this video, it would be naming the republic Latinia instead of The Second Roman Republic

[@FaithfulOfBrigantia]

I find it hard to believe the Western Roman Empire would remain so stable for so long.

Funny how Poland got pushed to parts where Lithuania was

Neatling alt hist/alt future videos give me another reason to wake up in the morning

[@justinpachi3707]

Honestly the East was too well positioned to just die like the Western Empire fell. The West honestly could have survived in a reduced form like the East later did. The Franks though would be a major rival for the west like how the Bulgarians were for the Eastern Empire.

Amazing Alternate History timeline video btw :)

[@SigmaN0tati0n]

This Alt-History has been my curiosity since I heard about Rome. Thanks.

[@coinyfrombfdireal]

Ive always thought about this idea and wondered... great video!

[@shzarmai]

Beautiful maps as always :-)

[@Amadeu.Macedo]

Outstanding! I loved your interesting, speculative alternate history.

[@JustJ_KK]

Much better scenario for 1800-1900

[@radored7750]

Really great video. I'am excited to see more.

[@mateuszlinke7469]

Dude, this is sooo underrated! I've never seen such a detailed video! (Also how did poland developed so far east? I don't think you mentioned it and I couldn't find a reason)

[@kaiserfranzjoseph9311]

Great scenario, but I have two criticisms. First Rome wouldnt just rename itself Latinia, they would call themselves something like the second roman republic. Second, with a strong Rome and a Sassanid empire that isnt weakened by the war against the Byzantines, there is no way Islam is able to expand like this, they would propably be driven back to the Arab peninsula and completely die out within a century at most
