History [or at the very least, Christian history] may forever use this as an excuse not to turn the “politically incorrect“ blessings of Christmas time into a generic “happy holidays“. Christmas would become the single holiday that ended in the entire war becoming white peace, or stalemate. You can’t get rid of a holiday like that after it’s done so much for the world, can you?

"Korporal Hitler was odd like that..."

Lets have a FOURTH alternative. In this reality, the Christmas Miracle does not occur in 1914. Instead it occurs in 1915. There are diaries and accounts of Generals giving orders in 1915 specifically to counter the chance of another 1914 miracle. And there were still troops who, while they did not cross into no-man's land, did observer their own "cease fire" for the day despite the orders. As you say 1914 was too early for such a miracle as nationalism and feelings were still high. But after one year of fighting in trenches and mud and water and seeing their comrades die, the troops were more ripe in 1915 for a more general mutiny like the Russians in 1917. In this scenario, localized miracles start to rapidly spread up and down the trenches due to how interconnected they are. Eventually the generals hear of this and try to issue orders to get back in the damn trenches. But the troops having suffered for over a year basically say screw you. Oh sure some gung ho officers start spouting orders and shouting .. and a few have "accidents" at that point as the disobedience spreads. Diplomats finally hearing of this jump on the opportunity to propose to their governments and extension of the ceasefire. Lets talk they say no need to keep fighting we have a chance. And the politicians listen and order the Generals to stand down and issue a general ceasefire until the new year. Sure this all spins on the need of both groups on the western side seeing this chance. But as mentioned diplomats were always working behind the scenes to pressure the military and governments for peace. Heck after a year of two front warfare the German generals might even agree to a chance to have breather as they can see they are not winning, and if they can get a western truce then they can focus on Russia. After that it all starts heading down a similar path as this video except maybe some changes. The Western nations MIGHT bring in Russia to the talks, or they could decide those backward fools (they were not well perceived in the West) can suffer their own fate for declaring war over Serbia to begin with and escalating the whole mess. But a 1915 Miracle might have worked.

No one goes to war thinking they'll lose. They either give concessions or don't start it if they think that. In this case, the Schlieffen Plan came very close to winning.

Maybe the real Christmas peace was the colonies which we kept along the way.

Well, either that or the 7 years War is the biggest event. Probable that if the French had won the 7 years War, instead of the British, with the French still being seen as a threat to the colonies and the Industrial Revolution happening in Britain, but to a less burgeoning extent due to not having India to supplement an explosion, the American colonies still would have wanted to stay under the British Crown due to perceived need for protection against the neighbouring French Colony, Britain would still reach parity with France again iin the next few decades, having gunboats after the Industrial Revolution, when the French wouldn't have them, To begin with, and then probably not even in the Medium-term either, as the monarrchy would be holding industrialisation back, as always happens with autocratic powers wanting to maintain the status quo.Lastly, there would be no Germany, with the French having maintained a strong military and hegemony of the continent, unlike the decline they had in the 19th century. It's probable that without the British winning the 7 years War and taxing the colonies, there wouldbe no USA or modern state of Germany. The brits and the french would be Dominating the world for the foreseeable future, probably for Centuries, with the aid of industrialisation

@@Rowlph8888 eh, i feel that the 7 years war was always going to be a british victory. WW1 on the otherhand was a time when the concept of a superpower did not exist. It was just lots of middle powers with colonies they were extracting resources from. If that ideal died earlier (perhaps a more aggressive US and japan alliance to take asia for themselves, forcing a proper EU where national identity was lost) the superpowers of today would have been locked on totally different continents with no real method of landing troops en masse in any real proximity to each other. Would have probably been something more akin to the naval battles of the spanish vs the british with heavily fortified static defences in the middle east, balkans and russia.

"That any concession given was failure." Y'know, I was finally reading "WorldWar" by Turtledove, and this reminds me of the summerization between the alien invasion and the human diplomats.

@@dmyt58 tbh we don't know how important war is to developing/making huge jumps in technology. Look at the 21st century and see how gigantic our advances are currently: Computing power, "futuristic" weapon research in form of for example rail guns, vehicles, medicine, plastics/materials in general etc. and we're living in what seems to be the most peacefull time ever. With no immediate grandscale war on the horizon anytime soon. And still we make huge leaps when it comes to technology. Why shouldn't we have made big jumps in technology during a more peacefull 20th Century?

@@anblueboot5364 see we say that but at the same time the Middle East was on fire, then stopped for a little, and now back on fire. So I do say war does force innovation because the stakes are higher. When the stakes are high we rush to find new innovations. It sucks to say this but It seems that innovation has its prove, and that is the price of human life

@@trickzy456 I think you're over hyping the role the middle east played when it came to technological advancement. The US/West is not in an arms race like back than during the 1st, 2nd WW and Cold War vs Russia. You're making a fool of yourself if you belief that technological advancements were made because anybody feared the middle east could have caught up to any major powerhouse and outclassed them in any way possible. It's like saying that the USA is in an Arms race with Peru, what a pathetic arms race is that one?

Right when you said "Maybe splitting up their enemies would be a good thing" I got an ad for KZread TV. I agree, It is time to split up the enemies of the people.

General : We'll win the war after this one push. Soldiers in mutiny : Funniest shit I've heard

This alternative scenario was very very interesting and Merry Christmas Cody!

Well technically the war did end by Christmas, we just didn’t tell you which one.

George saying he was scared, is one of the most heartbreaking parts. All through the series, he's been this childlike buffoon and it really is, in that moment like someone was sending a little boy over the top. It is, in a very real way, the death of an innocent

So this is what the video boils down to: It would've been fine if everyone weren't so stupid. That honestly sums up the entire 19th and 20th centuries

A Christmas on the frontline, we walk among among our friends, we don't think about tomorrow the battle will commence, when we celebrated Christmas we thought about our friends, those who never made it home when the battle had commenced.

Commander Nigel McTeabeard: OI, where you boys think yer goin?! Soldier 1: Home, it's Christmas. Commander: We're not done here, there's huns to hunt! Soldier 2: Home by Christmas, sir. Commander: You wat, lad? The entire trench down the line: *HOME. BY. CHRISTMAS. SIR.* A bunch of confused, glory hungry officers on both sides, plus Hitler, then yelled angrily into the night as the boys on both sides left the trenches and headed home.
