Ottoman Empire: "current objectvide:survive"
What if the 1870-1871 Franco-Prussian War never happened because Napoleon III was more friendly towards Prussia and made it clear in the early 1860s to Prussia that France would not intervene in any Prussian attempts to unify Germany?
2:30 MY EYES
So about what you said about Sweden at 11:39 The only reason Sweden didn't join the war against Russia was because the riksdag (parliament) refused to do so, the king Oscar I was eager to join the war against Russia because he did have ambitions on retaking Finland from Russia. And let's say theoretically that Sweden did join in on the war and got finland out of it and became allies with Britain, why wouldn't Britain directly support Sweden if another finnish war broke out between them and the Russians? Certainly the British economy would be effected to an extent because of the lumber and iron exports we did during this time to the Brits. But back on the whole ambition thing, not only did Sweden want to take Finland back but so did many nobles in Finland want that too (they were Swedish) which would then create a big support bloc for a Swedish finland. Nice video though I really liked the thought experiments and theorizing that you did I just wanted to say my own piece of the pie so to speak and sort of contribute to this ig

I'm asking a question before (hopefully I'm asking at the right time). Can we have access to the maps you use in your alternate history scenarios (e.g. the ones where the audience of KZreadrs decide what happens after the World Wars, as well as the map you used for your Napoleonic scenarios? They're good quality, and it'd be helpful to have access to maps like those for the alternate history scenarios I like to create. (This isn't me asking for your maps so I can then make videos featuring them or do something similar - I'm asking just so I can use them personally).

What if everything went perfect for the Qing Dynasty/Great Qing? (Industrializing, not exploding into 20 million pieces, etc) Maybe 1850s-1860s start?
Looking forward for the next video, it would be interesting to see what the British plan could've caused Especially with Poland and the Italian Preunitary States
i love your videos
Honestly makes you consider, what if they'd offered a Poland puppet/buffer state to Austria to compensate Austria, since it would honestly be in Austria's interest to weaken British naval power in the Mediterranean, and less Balkan Expansion would let Austria focus on Italy and Germany. Not to mention by Austria and Russia working together it would severely limit the Prussians.
what would have happened had the Ottomans (somehow) won the Russo-Turkish War of 1877?
As a trasnylvanian Romanian i honestly would rather belong to Austro-Romania than just Hungary. What we currently have is very lucky but if it wouldnt have happened then Austro-Romania would be the next best option.
Another video. This is gonna be awesome

Alternate history idea: Warsaw Uprising kicked germans out of city. So: instead of watching Warsaw burn, soviet did some helping, for example allowed Allied planes to operate from airfields (in reality they refused any help, because they wanted to occupy Poland after war and AK resistance would be a problem), AK got more weapons and ammunition ect. After securing Warsaw, and Red Army pushing west, goverment in exile returned to rightfull polish capital. Now there is huge problem in peace deal: USSR wanted to occupy Poland (they lied that poles wanted communism in real life), but polish goverment in Warsaw is seen by West and poles as legitimate. And even bigger problem: USSR attacked Poland in 1939, and took eastern part. After war, most of this territory was kept by Soviet Union.

When will you be planning on releasing the video about Every Late Modern Empire?🤗
Would argue that Sweden very much wanted Finland back. They were only the Riksdag/Parliament too frightened and nervous to join the conflict without guarantees of British and French help. King Oskar and the people want Finland back. and Sweden still had great support from Finland that they wanted to come back to Sweden. one must not forget that Sweden's and Finland's had been in the same kingdom for almost 600 years. Finland and Sweden were one. So would probably say that Sweden's would have had Finland's back again. Also, Finland was very strategically good for Sweden. Because every time Russia went to war against Sweden, they had to go through Finland, which was always very difficult for them. But very good video otherwise!

Pls do a video on how the Ottoman Empire could’ve survived and become a great power in Europe during the late 1800’s/early 1900’s
Video Idea: What if Napoleon conquered Egypt.
If Napoleon III was anything like his uncle in foreign policy, the Crimean War could’ve been his chance to restore Poland, which he then could’ve used in the future as a check against Austria and Prussia.
An extra explanation as to why Austria would definitely *not* want Moldova and Wallachia: they literally had no defenses or fortifications. Over the centuries as tributary nations, both were forced by the Ottomans to demolish any they had in the past and were forbidden from building new ones. Thus, with Wallachia being mostly flatland, and Moldova just some low hills, they'd be very hard to defend. Indeed, the Danube makes a more defensible border to the south, but to the north you have Prut, a significantly smaller river, as a border. Oh, and the Transylvanian Romanians were already on a long campaign of forging a national consciousness as a way to break away from the Austrians. Imagine doubling the number of Romanians and the good it'd to to your empire's stability.
You missed the chance to say a really funny line in the intro of "With the peace deal being so tame, what if it wasn't?"
this should be one the veiwers pick the out come for
I just thought of a treaty where everyone lose for the Crimean War: Create an independent Polish-Lithuania and Yugoslavia to serve as buffer states to halt Russian expansion and also be used to protect Russia from European and Ottoman aggression. (Independent Finland as well if Sweden was part of the conflict)

Crimea would still be relatively dependable due to how you have to reach it, the real problem would be supply.
Its kinda wild that the Brits thought Russian expansion in central Asia actually threatened British India. The Russians would have to travel extremely far through rough terrain with little to no infrastructure to even reach India. Even then, the British (especially if they weren't having issues with the loyalty of their Indian subjects) would probably manage to have a larger army there to meet the Russian forces traveling through central Asia.
