To be fair to the Germans during the war, they actually didn't have a solid endgame planned for how spoils and land would be distributed. They really didn't have any kind of endgame planned for any of it actually, which is a little surprising considering the Prussian's usual penchant for intensive planning. The territorial claims you cited as the German plan for post-war reparations and concessions is a combination of several proposals put forward by elements within the German Imperial hierarchy, none of which were eve officially agreed upon with the exception of Brest-Litovsk. And even then, there was intense confusion over how far the new borders would extend, because the specifics of who occupied what in the Brest-Litovsk treaty were already outdated by the time it was signed. Plus there are some indications that the treaty which was signed was not actually intended to be the final draft, but that someone rushed it out so they could have SOMETHING signed, which left the German authorities scratching their heads at how the treaty didn't match up with the reality on the ground, nor with what they'd actually hoped to accomplish with it, hence the way it was "disregarded" in order to recognize more land as independent of Russia (which had likely been the closest thing they had to an actual plan before someone jumped the gun with Brest-Litovsk). As for French teritorial concessions, that was all purely hypothetical, and was one of several evolving proposals being floated inside the German high command during the war. It was the harshest though, so people latched onto it after the war to present it as THE German plan for Europe, despite the fact that it was never firmly agreed on and was in competition with several other proposals. The same is true for Belgium, which you sort of addressed, as well as for Africa, where there was a lot of disagreement over how much to take, and what Mittelafrika should even look like (or whether it should even exist). Then there was the Austrian question, which played into the confusion over Brest-Litovsk, since the death of Franz Joseph and the abysmal performance of the Austro-Hungarian military during the war threw the entire post-war map of Europe into question. What territories (if any) should be ceded to Austria-Hungary? Would there even BE an Austria-Hungary to cede territory to? Had their poor performance been enough to justify reneging on early-war agreements in regards to their claims in Poland? The reality was that neither side had any clear idea of what they wanted the map to look like when the war ended. The only point of absolute certainty was that France wanted Alsace-Lorraine back. Everything else was up in the air and up for debate for all parties until ink was put to paper at Versailles.

The problem with Germany's borders, especially with France, is that France has had a territorial state for several centuries and Germany has had one for a few decades. It is therefore difficult to determine who has the right to what, since until 1815 France was not faced with a major power in the Rhine area that could prevent the annexation of German territories. In the end, the only solution for peace would be the Saarland solution. So democratic votes in which the people are allowed to decide for themselves and nothing is forced on them by emperors or politicians. Still an interesting video with well developed ideas

Or French try something similar with soldiers from Picardy, Normandy, Bretogne... just prove origin. Saarland being industrial area could became hotpoint in map of Europe, just like Upper Silesia in 1920' or Bosnia before WWI

How could giving away Dutch and Luxembourgish land even be remotely justified? They didn’t participate in the war, it’d be ridiculous to expect them to cede that much land and is just an insanely unrealistic ask. At that point you’re practically pushing the Dutch into fascism and painting the entente as imperialists who are just concerned with expanding their power.

Germany could have taken all those resource rich areas from the French after the Franco Prussian war but did not as they wanted a friendly France but did not get that. That was germanys error not crippling France after the war. Back to the world war Woodson points were clear and Germany agreed to peace based on these points. Then all those Germans who should have been allowed to join Germany as they wanted to. Places with a German majority should have become part of Germany and it’s weird that Germany gets bigger after a war but they would lose their colonies, pay reparations and most importantly have lost their Allies. Perhaps Germany would not have been so hostile had the points been followed that people will belong to the country that makes the most sense instead of just drawing lines on a map and making new borders.

'Even more' Great!

Ill be real. One of the main problems i see with this alt history in the east is the idea that poland and lithuania wouldnt entirely ignore their new constitution to marginalise those 'incorporated' into the restored commonwealth. Both the nation states were extremely nationalistic and truthfully this whole proposal in the east would likely lead to even more divided poland than in our own timeline, much too unstable to stand as an actual nation. This doesnt mention the fact that ultimately germany would continue fighting rather than accept this peace for at least another year.

As a point of military strategy, this plan creates a strong position for the Entente, particularly France and Poland, so I'd say the strategic goals of an Entente victory are met. While there are some contentions I have over the western borders, particularly in regards to the Netherlands, I consider the proposal reasonable enough in the interest of Belgian reparation and French security for it to be considered fair. My main skepticism comes from the Polish conditions, or more just in the way you presented them. The Silesian division is fine for the outermost subdivisions, but the transfer of the middle division into Poland, bar the obvious industrial and military benefits, is a tenuous prospect for incorporation into a Polish state wholly, so a further division may have been in order. The Posen transfer is reasonable and your points well justified, so I have little contention on that point and the same, surprisingly to me goes for the Polish strip, bar Mecklenberg which I consider mildly overstretching as a claim. The meat of my issues with this proposal come in the styling of the Polish control of these territories as being more humane than the alternative, particularly in the bit discussing how Poland would not have engaged in German deportations or cultural repression. Regardless of the origins of the German settlers, their presence in the region should not have been swept under the rug so casually. If a group existed that did not wish to be ruled by the Poles, there would be animosity between the peoples, and in such case of escalation, the government of Poland would have to respond through either crackdowns or deportation for national security if nothing else. Furthermore, I find it unlikely that Poland would have the inclination to rule with a light hand following the centuries of German domination, so it's far from unlikely that a similar nationalistic sentiment would spring up and use Germans as a primary target for a common enemy to promote national unity. In sum, it just feels like a significant change of tone from the western borders that seemed fairly reasoned, if a bit controversial, to some segments of the Polish section that gave an impression of "Germany bad in past, Poland should be big, Germans should kick rocks, Poles better rulers". I recognize this may be an unintentional aspect of the segment, or simply my own perspective on it, but I felt I should voice it anyway. Lastly, I found the idea of the USPL initally unrealistic, but on second consideration it seems if not likely than at least reasonable, and it is an interesting idea to pursue. I do consider the Eastern borders to be a source of contention with Belorussian and Ukrainian ambitions in future, so I believe it would be more realistic to have either the greater USPL or a more cohesive Intermarium, but not both together. Overall though, I did enjoy the vid and look forward to the next one. Good job 👍

no the idea with Poland probably wasnt explained well here. This would be the land granted to Poland but I wouldnt expect Poland to actually hold that much land in the east. I explain a bit more on the french foreign policy in part 2. Basically France would get further aims for the Germans, and have a huge incentive to actively support Poland in the east against teh Soviets. Despite that, Poland would not get that much land. Giving them this in the treaty would hopefully allow them to stop fighting with Poland, cut a deal over the Inflanty voivodship with Latvia to get them to join them. (In return for poland-lithuania dropping the territory) Polesia is essentially a Polish Belarussian hybrid, but they wouldnt be that large. Also, if the Poles had more support they could have taken less of Belarus and more of Ukraine. But the eastern border isnt that important. The allies are making an empty promise to Poland to get them to fight more against Russia and forcing France to send direct aid if they want to remain dominant on the continent. Sorry if thats a bit rambly but that was my thought process there.

But other than that, pretty good

As an American of majority Italian decent, that part 2 better be just as long because otherwise this is basically just asking for a major rise in communist or fascist support in Germany, and even is likely to drag the Dutch on side against the entente. In fact, given how Greece was essentially forced to join the war, I can see a lot more people in the later years viewing the entente as imperialists who wanted to carve up Europe as much as they could get away with. Also, how on earth do you plan on ensuring prometheism works to it's fullest extent and enforcing it? The Entente did send people to fight against Soviets and supported the whites and despite this they stopped soon enough for a reason. So why and how would they get the support to ensure this by force? Further, even if it worked, communism wouldn't just cease to exist. It just wouldn't have a state to support it. This part seems a bit handwaved in my opinion, and if anything if this actually did succeed it just ensures Russia would join Germany in a future war rather than fight each other. Further, a France aligned Poland of such a size certainly would make the UK concerned over French power over the continent. If anything, all these changes fails to do what you set out as it simply hurts Germany bit more without crippling them industrially enough while pushing many neutral nations away from the entente. I know you said there would be a part 2, and many of your responses to comments like this seems to just be 'wait for part 2' however I have a feeling some of these points won't really be addressed. I really do not see how a 2nd world war is avoided here at this moment in time.

While in our timeline it's was not even considered by the entente, like the Dutch demands after ww2

The peace after the Franco-Prussian war had just caused more hatred between France and Germany, The peace you should really want to compare Versailles with is the Congress of Vienna in 1814 which had caused a lasting period of peace(between great powers)where France gained land compared to before then.

If you consider the previous status quo, that wouldn't go in the direction you are hinting at... French territory lost by the French Empire (Wallonia, Savoy, Swiss bordering lands, Luxembourg, some islands) were greater than the German territories lost by the German Empire. The non national losses were arguably greater too : non french territory part of the natural borders of the Revolution (Flemmish, Dutch, and German parts), Piemont, Illyria and a few greek islands. The Vienna Congress was fair in that it ensured the balance of power in Europe though. The Versailles treaty wasn't, it was too harsh to make an ally out of Germany, and too soft to ensure the balance of power.

If this is how you treat a neutral country like the Netherlands, I shudder to think what you have in mind for Sweden after WW2.

Im not sure i agree with the complete transferes of Danzig and half the Saarland. If danzig is mainly tranfered so the polish have a port on the coast, but then the poles are united with lithuania, do they not already have ports in lithuania? The immediate economy viability of the poles can be secured through an extended occupation of the city, that would be returned to germany following a plebiscite. Much like the Saarland occupation of history. For similar reasons, i think the extended occupation of the Saarland was a better solution than a transfere. I notice you didnt discuss any such occupations as possibilities in this video. Will they appear in the next? Or was that part of the script that got cut for time?

Well, Gdańsk is legitimately Polish city; every time it happened to be in the borders of some German state it was through invasion and robber - every single time, so not really legal way. You could say that Danzig was inhabitet by German people for centuries but that doesn't matter at all. Originally they were just settlers on foreign westslavic lands, long before such political instances like German Empire, Kingdom of Prussia or even Ducal Prussia (wonder if you ever heard of it) even came to exist. How could these political being have any legitimacy over that city? Because Danzingers spoke German? So have Austrians, yet it would be an absurd for Prussians and Kaisers to inherit their lands 'cause it has never been theirs.

Great video. Would like to see a part 2 for other treaties. Then a map of what this new Europe would look like

Checkout German Empire language census map from 1910 "Nationalitätenkarte des ostprovinzen des Deutsches Reich" and see for yourself (a map made by Germans btw)

4:05 big rebuke: France was mostly intact Economically. Franco-Prussian war was a 1 year conflict at most with only a few Cities Decimated, France didn't have the time to Damage it's own economy through Mobilization and Fighting to the Bitter End. WW1 was a War of Attrition in which everyone planned on Fighting to the end. The Central Government in Paris collapsed when Napoleon III was Captured at Sedan and forced to Abdicate by Republican Provisional Officials who by the end of the War found themselves Encircled in Paris, and had no Choice but to Surrender. Alsace-Lorraine overwhelmingly wanted to join Germany, only 2.5 percent Left the Province for France upon ownership being Transferred by the Treaty of Frankfurt, the Rest of the Population either were Exuberant or indifferent to who owned the Territory after 1871 according to Census Data collected in the Aftermath Germany did much less Damage in France even in WW1, Entaunt did more to Damage France, Belgium flooded half of itself to try and hold the Germans off like it was the Yangtze river, the Germans only and Irrecoverably Stealing Belgian Industry among it's other War crimes. Huge subatomic Explosions called Mines Rocked everywhere along French Flanders and Picardie, the French even provoked the Germans to start using Gas by throwing Tear Gas and Chlorine Grenades made for Russia while Belgium was still losing Territory which no doubt to France's Detriment Gas caused most of the Zone Rouge and Villages that Died for France, long after the Iron Famines begin from salvaging all the Iron Harvests Frankfurt was a Political Humiliation for a War France Started to deny Hohenzollern Coronation in Spain. Versailles was Revenge and Economic Gangrape. The Debt incurred on France from Frankfurt was at most a Third of Versailles and they easily paid it off due to Overseas Colonies and a largely intact Economy, only losing Alsace-Lorraine as a Center of Ore mining for Steel Production that the Germans would Capitalize on. If Frankfurt was anything like Versailles and france was as crippled as Germany, not even the French would have the dog in them to dare make Serious Strides to pay off the Debt. No Famines in France, no key Losses in France aside from a territory that largely wanted to be German Indicated by it's own Census data, and France was Rich colonially. Germany didn't tap much off of any other Occupied Territories and were happy to Leave thanks to Otto Bismarck insisting on making things Lenient. France tripled the Debt to pay for the US Bankrolling the entire Entaunt in Loans, stripped many vital lands and carved 30 percent of Germany to be Occupied and never be German again. Germany Economy crippled from being at war for 4 years, Hundreds of Thousands dead from Starvation thanks to the Naval Blockade along with Millions dead by the War in Germany, Berlin still hasn't recovered it's Pre-WW1 Population to this day. The French also had Rights to Saarland and the Rhineland industrial Zone by the Treaty which didn't tally towards Financial Reparations. Not to mention Germany's Colonies were mostly net Losers except for Togo and Qingdao, and Germany lost these Colonies so it couldn't benefit the way France did. The US kept pumping Inflationary spending into Weimar who was Weak, Indecisive and by Design incompetent because the Competent people were all Monarchists and didn't want to be forcefully Democratic. Aside from Banning Economic Communism, Forcing an Ideology in name inside a Constitution is Neither Democratic nor a Good Idea because Eventually the Locals will Call BS and will Toss thier Constitution for being worse than a Dictator Anschluss was Democratically attempted by Austria as Austria-Germany in 1919 who was also banned from it by the Treaty of Saint Germain and Blocked by Versailles, Austria was in a worse Position than Germany, but allowing this would have helped to Punish Germany, as well as already fulfil many of the Territorial desires of Greater Germany which easily could have deterred the Rise of the Nazis. Poland illegally revolted and ethnically Cleansed much of west Poland prior to the Plebiscites, and even saw the Allies rigging most of the Referendums which the Poles themselves Realized not wanting to end up in Soviet Poland due to the Ongoing Polish Soviet War which was how East Prussia never became Polish. Denmark didn't do shit and unfairly received German Territory. Austria-Germany was literally Austria and the Confiscated-Occupied Sudetenland which the Czechs stole butthurt over how thier Rebellion centuries Prior had thier Elites' property confiscated as Punishment, Czech Nationalism at that Point wasn't about the Czechs nor Slovaks, but Getting the Estates Back, Only the people believed it was about them. Even the Intelligencia were Tricked by this. A Fair Treaty of Versailles in your Vision would have made the Punic Peace between Rome and Carthage look like Capitulation to Carthage (who by the way were begging for Peace at all costs after they lost Syracuse and the rest of Sardinia and Sicily). Belgium only got the Congo because France didn't want Germany taking it and only because France didn't forgive Germany for winning a war France Started in 1870 during the Berlin Conference of the 1880s (86 I think.), Belgium not only proved to be the most Inept at being a Colonizer (worse than Portugal who saw Vorbeck's German-African Army as Liberators from Portuguese Brutality and Incompetence) but also the most Brutal practically engaging in Genocide in the Congo their only Colony which even the Germans called out and they're for minding thier own Buisness in Africa trying to uphold the Colonial Neutrality Policy. Belgium relied on France and Britain and thus shouldn't deserve anything but Melmedy Back for a slap on the wrist to Germany and a Separate deal with Germany. They had everything they wanted by surviving, they didn't need anything else, Rwanda and Burundi was just a Participation Trophy, British would have starved them into Submission too because that's the only thing the British know how to do if they lose a war on Land. Belgium itself was meant to be a half Dutch-French Buffer state which by designed couldn't leave it's Neutrality and was nothing more than a Political tool by the British. the Locals in 1830 didn't want to be Dutch nor Austrian and were Inspired to be a Napoleonic Republic like France was, they literally got the "We won but at what Cost" treatment in both Cases. I had a 5th Great Granduncle who as an Admiral volunteered his Fleet to help them, but were denied due to being an Admiral of Blue of the British Empire. Sir Isaac Coffin was his Name. also Guarantee the Kingdom of Greece and Conserve the Monarchy or make it Native, suppress the Republicans until a Compromise is reached. Metaxas only took power because the Entaunt started a Greek Civil war trying to get a Vardar front. Greece wouldn't be the shitshow we know it today if it wasn't for the Entaunt violating Greek Neutrality with even less Provocation than Germany had for invading Belgium, Make the Treaty fair for Greece while at it, Return Constantinople and the Magali Idea and tell Ataturk to take his Deep state and Rig it somewhere where there'll never be Democracy or Voting Stations but keep an Independent Turkey with a Greater Armenia to avenge the Genocide. My Solution: Make it the Franco-Prussian war Debt, Split Alsace Lorraine between German and French Speakers, Split Tyrol the same way, Don't establish Yugoslavia or Prioritize Italian promises, Disincentivize Ethno-Terrorism practiced by the Poles, don't give the Poles thier Gdynia Corridor, give them the Memel Corridor instead as to deepen animosity between Poland and Lithuania past Wilno/Vilnius and to keep Germany away from the Baltics, Allow Anschluss with Sudetenland in 1919, having enough Economic Assets to be used to rebuild the Economy is all you need to make it Fair. this will disarm the Divided Germany plot Hitler Established, and make the Debt not as much as a Spark point. also: Blame Serbia and the British for the War, they provided the Guns used to assassinate the Archduke, and while at it, don't make the Treaty of Trianon such a Ballbuster if you're serious about keeping Austro-Hungary Dissolved, and tell Japan to Fuck Off for not helping more in the War, but don't impose Naval Restrictions and Embargos that Violate your own Neutrality, Japan did half of what it did to Spite and Acknowledge that despite there being International Order, I won't follow that Order due to all of the Suppressions involved again Japan who was an Ally after WW1. Don't give shit to someone who never fought in the War (Looking at you Denmark.). lean off the Army Restrictions and more on holding Germany accountable for Future Actions to provide a sense of Forgiveness which stokes the Christian in all Europeans.

After marrying Joana, he gathered a large army and marched to Castile, but due to bad military and diplomatic decisions he lost the support of the Castilian nobles who wanted Joana in power and the entry of the kingdom of Aragon into the war and there was even a request for help from the king of France but he didn't accept it.
