They could have gone after America but we weren't densely populated so it didn't seem like we were anywhere near as much of a threat, on top of that they needed a place where it was easy to travel to grab more resources without having to go far, and most of the resources in the US are pretty far apart

From what I remember of the War of the Worlds, I’m pretty sure it was stated that the Martian civilisation was on its last legs and nearing total collapse due to their planets ecosystem and what not degrading over time. As such, the invasion was a last ditch effort to save their species as they planned to migrate to Earth. This probably explains why considerations such as disease etc where not taken into account, and it also makes sense as to why no reinforcements where sent after disease set in, as in the book it’s assumed that most of the Martian military capability is already in Earth after the fall of humanity. Therefore, when the Martians are defeated, that’s practically the end for them which is why no other invasion happens.

Consindering that heavy artillery could damage the tripods and that thunderchild was able to destroy some ( An mere Ironclad)) the martians would have a rude awakening when invading earth in the 1910s or later having Dreadnoughts which are a multiple as powerful as such an described Torpedo Ram and fast firing artillery around. The first man made object in space was an arillery projectile of the paris gun. Also the understanding of a lot of the things that do happen in the original novel are better understood, the black smoke , well gas the red weed, and see what happens. Also that just more people and and maschinery is available to produce for a war economy and that there are massive stockpiles of new toys for the military to play around at this point in time.

I do think atlantis was much more advanced then any civilization to come in the next 13000 years though. IMO we prob technologically surpass the atlantians around the invention of gundpowder and guns. It wouldnt matter though because atlantis if it existed around the time of the romans it'd just get overrun by roman legionarries even with more advanced technologies. Then the romans would reverse engineer the technology but the guys who reverse engineered it would be killed by the emperor unless the emperor was one of the good emperors.

I loved it!

Didn't you make a martians video few months ago. Also thank you for making great content!

What if Sweden won the great northern war by the way great work on the channel.

Well they were already in the ascendancy so my guess is more of the status quo.

I find it odd that the aliens would stick to the german border and not invade either switzerland, austria or france. If they originally landed in the Schwarzwald, the road to france would be shorter than the road to Berlin.

The Alps - not too friendly as a terrain type to these behemoths.

Do YOU want to be the one that violates Swiss neutrality? Good point on Austria and France though

Outstanding! Good to see a quality 1 hour video. Subbed. I liked the comparison to the original novel's last chapter which talks of failed attempts at even reanimating Martian technology. The "terrible disasters at the Ealing and Kensington laboratories" when the heat ray generators were attempted to be powered up and many other nice geopolitical touches. Nice!

Awesome!

This was really cool, you should do science fiction alt hist more often

Good god, I feel like a sequel would be awesome, it’s already better than todays block busters.

Yeah, homeworld command in the eyes of the Martian soldiers really messed-up big time with administrating the invasion: their own troops couldn't even figure out what the mission was! That one alone explains a lot of their messed-up tactics and behaviors: they had no idea what their assignments were! Put yourself in their shoes: you're going to make a lot of blunders too in that case... your orders, as Sun Tzu would say, were not clear; so your boss, whoever he is, failed badly in his assigned tasks of clearly conveying your work task assignment list!

I'll be honest I didn't come here for the video I just came here to say that the Italians are going to side with the aliens

stupid reasoning. also, the joke doesn’t even make sense. italy never switched sides, it merely suffered a civil war.

love how humans in all the modern alien invasion movies never think to use their literal city-destroying bombs. GIVE THE MARTIANS A NICE, NEW SUN, MAN!

There's a few settings were is stated that if there's one understanding beetwen the humans and the aliens is that nukes and mass destruction weappons are out of the question. The aliens dont glass the planet from orbit because they want it and if they were to use mass destruction devices they know humans have a kill switch in the form of nuclear self anihilation wich would waste al of the martians work and hoppes for the planet. So if humans just were to be nuking the aliens clean off or knocking ships in space with nukes they would be forcing the alines hand to use their own mass destruction means and everyone looses

51:55, there never was a “party switch” that’s a simplistic understanding. The parties just changed, they didn’t switch

The world: on the brink of collapse Britain: tries to save humanity Ireland: feck you I'm leaving

Definitely need a part 2 but a modern one, perhaps humanity going into space?

16:38 made me fire beer out my nostrils

Those Martians sure are good sports, giving humanity a fighting chance on the ground. If it were me, I'd just glass major cities from orbit then demand unconditional surrender.

Ay, the only space technology we know of them is the falling star. We don't know if they can even make a stable space station, much less an orbital supercannon

You could just do tactical landings and assign each unit to a type of terrain to quickly adapt, that’s basically how the combine took over earth in 7 hours

The cultural and political developments in early post-war are confusing and disconnected but otherwise a truly special scenario

Needs a part 2

this was a very interesting scenario

Let's look at the bright side: at least there was no WWII

Did he mention Harry Turtledove? He wrote a series of books about this exact thing. I believe they came out in the late 1980s or early 1990s? He also wrote alternate history of the American civil war. All good reads and I definitely recommend them.

Very nice

Creative and interesting

We need a part 2

Hi ph I love your videos

👋 Nice video

Please make more of these expanding into SciFi series like star trek!
