The narration was an experiment, do let me know what you thought!

[MikhailTukachevsky]

Germany requests the entire universe, France and Britain decide it's reasonable because there is more Germans to be appeased in space.

[TheSerbNationalist]

"I want that thing." Germany said, calmly.

[scyobiempire]

What if the German revolution succeeded while the Russian (October) revolution failed?

[Respecteddude]

Bro you need to continue the ww1 central powers victory series it's so damn interesting

[JustAnotherGuy-vxpo]

Scenario idea: What if the Coptic Christian’s succeeded in the Bashmurian revolts, thus creating a Coptic Egypt?

[lustfullemon]

love how possible history always changes his way of editing ❤

I think Japan would have attacked the USSR. With their allies diverting Russia's attention, they could easily take large swathes of resource rich territory.
I don't know if it was known to be resource rich at the time, but I still think they would do it.

Might I entreat you to envision a scenario, purely speculative in nature, wherein every conceivable variable aligns harmoniously and favorably for the venerable nation of Norway? Picture, if you will, a narrative unfolding wherein every pursuit, every endeavor, manifests with a perfection so sublime that it ushers forth an unparalleled era of prosperity and serenity for the Norwegian realm.

(Please do a what if everything went perfect for Norway scenario)

What if everything went perfect for Monarchist Italy?

There was a huge debate to attack the western colonies or the Soviets in Japan at the time. I would very much assume that in a situation where Japan is still trading with the west and the Soviets are getting shit kicked by the Germans, they’d be far more likely to attack outer Manchuria and eastern Siberia. I doubt they attack the western colonies yet when the Soviets are in such a compromised position.

6:02 hearing the British celebrate about a German victory in the 1940s is the most cursed thing ever😭😭😭💀💀💀

There’s many parts in this scenario that I find issue, chiefly with Germany and the USSR.

But first, Stalin wasn’t ever going to give up on Finland, his paranoia drove the war due to issues of the proximity of Leningrad to Finland and Finland being used as a staging post, this actually happening with British and French forces would only increase this. At minimum Stalin isn’t giving up until he gets something from Finland and Finland, no matter how much support just can’t beat the USSR, there is only so much a tiny nation of a few million can do against something 20x it’s size. Even if it’s only a tiny strip of the mannerheim he will not stop until he gets it.

Secondly, I doubt the idea that Germany would perform better in Barbarossa ittl than otl, by 1940 the German economy was completely broke they were utterly dependent on looting other countries just to keep functioning. These countries were primarily western, Hitler hoped to take from the east but the utter devastation meant that this just never happened, pretty much all the way until ‘45. Two, with peace in the west there really isn’t a way for Stalin to ignore reality about the Germans, 90% of German success was due to soviet incompetence and while the purges were a decent portion of that by far it was the fault of Stalin with warning a lot of the problems that came with this just don’t exist. The primary one being there are much fewer encirclements, and secondly that Soviet industry evacuates east much quicker than OTL, tbh I don’t understand how this would go worse ittl than otl, and that much of the Soviet airforce survives. Obviously the Soviet airforce is much inferior to the Germans but they are in a much better position to equalise and crucially aren’t so dependent on lend lease. No Lend lease in Barbarossa wouldn’t have much effect as lend lease wouldn’t really pick up until 42

Not to say that the USSR would curbstomp Germany, I’d imagine the initial push into the USSR achieves fewer gains than otl and the Soviet counterattack is worse, and then the Germans have much better success pushing into the caucuses but this doesn’t really get them anything, everything is still extremely scorched earth. Things are going worse for the Soviets but that doesn’t mean that the Germans are better off. But, as things go forward, the German army would eventually grind down the USSR without lend lease from the USA maybe even push them back to the Urals, but the idea that Eastern Europe is just going to ‘give in’ doesn’t make sense. Without distractions in the west and Germany being even more dependent off looting everything not nailed down it’s abundantly clear to everyone that this is literally victory or death anyone willing to give in would be quickly ‘gotten rid of’. And even if Soviet military capabilities, or whichever state replaces them, is ground down to where they can only do low intensity conflict Germany stills falls apart within the decade. A tiny nation of 60 million which has already lost millions of their best soldiers simply can’t occupy that much territory even if the populace wasn’t trying to kill them at every turn. As Germany begins to waste resources implementing their delusional Eastern European plans, which they have even less of without the money taken from the rich west, things begin to fall apart, there isn’t enough money to pay everyone, run the factories, and garrison the money sink of Eastern Europe, especially with the likelihood of western sanctions for things like the Holocaust which the Allies did in fact know about. likely things crumble on until 48 or 49 where everything falls apart at once revolts happen all over EE and whatever Uralian rump state sweeps in to the rest of Eastern Europe, the military coups the nsdap and either invites the west in for whatever good terms they can get, or just keeps falling apart until the west just walks in to minimal German resistance and whatever territory they still have left in Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, etc.

[whyops]

You forget that unlike in our timeline Stalin probably would not be trusting the Germans nearly as much here and would not have massive parts of the Soviet armies be encircled at the start of the war.

[Simonspacex]

You need to keep this series going! This could be really interesting!

[secret]

What if Edward Wood, 1st Earl of Halifax had accepted the British premiership? (as opposed to it going to Churchill)

[marcorivignanivaccari]

I think that another interesting scenario would be: What if Poland joins the axis?

[NicoHert]

Great video! I really like the narration!

[rewriting-history]

Just watched my older video on this topic. I'm glad I was able to figure some stuff out, but looking back at it, my ending was very bad. I agree with your interpretation way more. Keep uploading, so I can keep learning!
