I would guess that Prussia in this timeline would be like Austria now. Just a bit stronger than our Austria. They probably won’t see themselves as Germans anymore but as Prussians.

"Napoleon had brought onto Germany concepts of nationalism"
Poland: *scared noises*

[gigachadgaming]

imo austria would've likely annexed Schlesien instead of Brandenburg from Prussia

[etho]

It happened, he did it. Greater Germany!

[nazom_oko]

One thing I would add as an Austrian is; We would go after Italy for "our" lost sea. Some of us are still kinda angry about Italy's takeing of South Tyrol and Triest
.

Man, why do you need to show a world map when only central Europe is concerned?
So much screen real estate lost right there...

[Crick]

We have it. Finally...

Austria irl: small and chill

Austria in this timeline: *Österreich über alles!*
























Btw, video on what if Greco-Bactria survived plz.

[wilburmay]

What if Spain colonized all of Morocco, and had a border dispute with France, allying with the Central powers before ww1 starts.

[rokball]

I want to see What if Bulgaria won the Second Bulkan War and what if France won the Franco-Prussian War!

Instead of looking at the Austro Prussian war of 1866 it might be even more interesting to look at the revolution of 1848.
In our timeline the parliament elected after that revolution wanted to introduce a relatively centralised constitutional monarchy like in Britain and asked the Prussian king to take that role. The Prussian king declined because he rejected the concept of a constitution and the revolution ran out of steam.
If on the other hand the parliament asks the Austrian king (who of course would have to accept for the sake of this timeline) the Austrian king would immediately get a strong claim on Germany, including most of Prussia, and would be backed by the people that already took control of most major cities.

Now that was definetly an interesting video

Austria finally gets a theoretical win on its own but you raise a good question what if Austria had remained loyal to Russia and was there ally during the chrimea war? Would we see the Austrians come out on top as the dominate power of Germany still? What do you think?

[jackwalters]

As a Habsburg fanboy I am obligated to like every timeline that goes well for the Habsburgs

[oihanlarranegi]

I think there is an important factor you forgot. The Prussians were using modern rifles while the Austrians were still fighting with muskets, which gave the Prussians an enormous advantage.

[masmustacheo]

Austria lost against Prussia and didn't unite Germany.
This enraged Hitler's father, who punished him severely.

[stevenmichael]

I enjoyed this scenario a lot, great job my guy 💙

[aaronfire]

Yeah!!! I’ve really been wanting this one! I suggested this back in August and I’m so glad you were able to get to it!

[dumdebadaba]

Austria could never be a purely German empire. That would mean, for example, an independent Hungary and Italy. But with no guarantee of them being friendly to Austria. Which would mean too much competition and no possibility to unufy Germany.

Very good video! I really liked how you put this all together. It really makes sense, given the political and military aspects of the time. If only it had gone down like this! Once again, very well done! Please keep the outstanding videos coming and God bless you, my friend!
