What If WW1 Didn't Happen?! (HOI4 Age of Imperialism Mod)

What If WW1 Didn't Happen?! That's the scenario of the Age of Imperialism mod for HOI4!
Mod: steamcommunity.com/sharedfile...
Age of Imperialism is a mod for Hearts of Iron IV, whose action is happening in a world where the First World War did not take place. Instead, there was a series of local wars, which influenced the global geopolitical scene by establishing the position of Great Britain, Germany and Russia as the dominant imperialist of the world, forced the United States to resign from isolationism, led to the weakness and chaos in France and Austria, and contributed to strengthening the influence of the Kingdom of Italy or the creation of the Balkan Federation.
The game starts in 1931, when the competition between empires concerning their mutual sphere of influence seems to temporarily die out, but it will soon be reignited again as a result of proxy wars leading to changes within the influence zones combined with an upcoming economic crisis. Leaving and joining alliances, creating them or the emergence of new countries leads to changes to the geopolitical chessboard, which will ultimately lead humanity to the edge of world war, in which one of the blocks shall dominate the world, or otherwise the world shall be embroiled in endless atrocities of total war.

*Have you tried this mod?*

[@Shy1en]

going to try it Right now!

[@BrettsHistoryClub]

Not yet, but soon I will try this mod

[@rafailkili1688]

No but can you see if there is a tech tree for greece and If not then can you play a greece mod?and good job with the vids

[@MeLoNarXo]

no and socialism has been achieved

[@barackobama7254]

No I have bad PC make in China

[@JoelCromwell]

I'll bet the US has a focus to buy Greenland from Denmark, and Denmark said no. So the US AI manually justified to take it by force.

[@danielduhzgaming3070]

That makes sense

[@danny_1636]

Trump moment

[@jackslavich9037]

Germany: OH NO YOU DON’T!!!

[@danielduhzgaming3070]

POV: manifest destiny be like

[@TheREPPIX]

​@danny_1636 you gotta admit that'd be SO cool if they said yes

[@Roketsune]

I think you should edit Matt's Matt Monday videos. Having the roles reversed completely would be funny.

[@bzr8636]

"I'm taking the hit on PP" We all do sometimes, Alex

[@mrsaanes]

WE?!

[@E_2the_J]

10:50 This right here sold me on this mod, the "Hongxian dynasty" is way too underused in alt history. Even though he was extremely unpopular, Yuan Shikai's political maneuvering and brutality made him one of the most likely candidates to unify china.

[@rastas4766]

*Is playing as Germany* *sees Neglected Army* “Sacre Bleu!”

[@bradleydelay]

Alex I'd love to see you do more Age of Imperialism! You always seem so fond of monarchist paths and a world without a first great war it's full of it.

[@BrettsHistoryClub]

Always great content!

[@deadchannel1880]

the russians and the uk have the best focus trees. The funny mustache man tree in austria and balkan union are also good

[@AdmiraHax]

France is awesome. Poland too.

[@pardusmk2595]

Actually they alp have amazing trees kinda boring if you play more than~3 major in a row ,but still amazing ,the best i think mexico, with her continental mega state goal

[@scottjuhnke6825]

Thanks for playing this! I have to say, some of the portraits are a bit off, but, some of them are freaking hysterical!

[@julekszul3939]

Like always a great video alex

[@samwill7259]

You always show me the coolest mods

[@Mustafasameem]

Was just watching one of your Victoria 3 videos when the notification came

[@Uinb]

Gerd Von Rundstedt portrait looks like Pvt Pile in Full Metal Jacket I'm the toilet scene

[@shomadoesstuff4411]

Alex: "I need my glasses for this" Me: "I need my 1080p for this"

[@Monksy1337]

You have to leave the ace pilot pop-up open so you can see it in decisions and mark it to be ignored.

[@Shy1en]

good video keep up the good work😄😄

[@saintpatron8177]

Was looking forward to this!

[@Elongated_Muskrat]

Sober Alex returns.

[@kalebfromme6482]

This mod is super OP with focuses, but fun

[@TheMadDoc49]

Argentina going to war with Brazil had me laughing

[@akramgimmini8165]

Wuhuuu! Mittelafrika- Tour with the Hottentotten!

[@antoncabotta5364]

I absolutely love this mod. Great radio, great UI, great map colours. One of the better ones on the workshop.

[@maintiax]

green research buttons 👎

[@berserker4940]

This is the only big mod I might actually try

[@tomhigson3989]

This mod seems really cool

[@bacongud8553]

Yay more HOI4

[@eisbergsyndrom5010]

Belgium sweating bullets now.

[@whitezombie10]

0:04 more like Adolf the Rambler or Joseph the Rambler with that moustache

[@Ollidol]

Out of all the references I expected a Star Wars kinect one was not on that list.

[@joelhicks5468]

Interesting looking mod. I'd like to see something other than monarchism for once though

[@fubuma534]

“Get the women in the factory” 4:52

[@flixlinnenbrugger1317]

you should check out the scenario stalingrad/overlord mods

[@jimthedinoman5765]

I was literally playing thus game earlier today

[@ErnieOppermann]

W video

[@lc-lz8139]

I can't believe It, a Brit cheering for Argentina

[@JustinJTime]

"Who dares, wins."

[@scottjuhnke6825]

So, if you demilitarize a demilitarized zone...Wouldn't that be the same as multiplying a negative number by a negative number making a positive? Demilitarize the demilitarized, good Sir! Demilitarize away!

[@christophervanoster]

Next can we get a try at Chaos Mod?

[@olesmokey3023]

I call things chonky after the great chonker

[@jessejaimyhecker3350]

Legooo for the 5000

[@senortrotsky5794]

It calls Umberto the Gay King of Italy because he literally was.

[@unifiedhorizons2663]

the alisas rein haD massive textile industry that it outpast all of germany and kaiser was unsure to let it be or change it so they couldn't produce as much so that actually pretty accoute

[@pardusmk2595]

He actually didnt send ANY volunteers? Wow

[@unifiedhorizons2663]

you murdered romania!

[@dont-rump901]

I wanna say the situation with the US was because Greenland is Danish territory, but that’s just a guess

[@HanktheGhost]

Second time you played this last time you played it, you played as the Russian Empire

[@andrewgoenner120]

My best guess is that US justified on Denmark for Greenland.

[@KnightSlasher]

If Ww1 didn't happen ww2 probably wouldn't have happen because a main point of ww2 starting was Germany becoming impoverished because of their actions in ww1

[@Slimebot3000]

Another thing is that even if it happened it would be called ww1 because it hasn’t happened yet

[@gabigol52]

🤯

[@olesmokey3023]

Not quiet true, the Franco Prussian war that predated WW1 had lasting resentment and if ww1 happened or not the hate would still be there

[@bighillraft]

Obviously the World War wouldnt be the same as OTL but a world war would still happen, just for a different reason

[@Themrine2013]

@@olesmokey3023 then it would only be a war between France and Germany.

[@joshuawoodbridge6267]

Please do a Japan no or very small air force challenge

[@NMahon]

I think the Tsar was fucked even if ww1 didn't happen, man couldn't help but making all the wrong moves his entire life.

[@PoggoMcDawggo]

Yea the Tsar was already facing opposition from within the government and the peasants before ww1. In fact the decemberists had revolted in the 1800s and there was still lingering resentment from that so it was bound to happen again anyways.

[@NMahon]

@@PoggoMcDawggo true and the revolution of 1905 kinda set the stage for what was to come. It was a ticking time bomb

[@PoggoMcDawggo]

@@NMahon Honestly I totally forgot about the 1905 revolution but yea that just proves your point even more.

[@kohrenhund]

17:39 this small song hit something in my nerve, whats the song to it?

[@spacedragon1453]

I leave for a month. Now we have an large teddy bear. A Charizard stuffy. a Darthvader minifigure. a blue "thing" the chonk has gotten into a little to much candy cane. Santa. Books! Charizard paintings. and soooo much Charizard Pokeman cards- or at least fire types I suppose. What happened?

[@awadrt3a3]

Hey matt

[@archibald5930]

Alex, why don't you ever improve relations with countries before pressing a decision?

[@reverendroar]

It is Che Guevara and a young Joseph Stalin haha

[@unqueb]

Chonk

[@tonymartin1913]

They are very generous with what the focuses give XD. All the focuses have stupid stuff like that you should look at englands or Austrias

[@arvidhustad3999]

[@homegrown5651]

Cheese

[@Vogelkinder]

[@Canada1994]

I HATE this mod because Ireland can never be free or can they now with the update?

[@Zeitgeist2000]

no offense Rambler, but as it currently stands, vic 3 is about as fun to watch as someone working on a spreadsheet. no one wants to sit around for hours watching someone click 3 or 4 buttons to build factories and then watch as the interesting part of paradox games is a "watch the borders slowly expand as the ai does the fun part" vic 3 is an utter dissapointment currently, and I have no desire to watch someone play as scotland in the most boring paradox game since MotE

[@rafailkili1688]

Hellow mate
