I doubt the British would actually acknowledge anything about a boer state. They would use all anti racist anti slavery rhetoric to immediately go to war again. And they were willing to commit as many atrocities as possible win or lose. South Africa also being Afrikaans and in touch with Germany is a nightmare.

YES! We NEED a continuation! The biggest thing I wanna see is the fate of British territory in India and the situation of Japan and Soviets. Indian independence is certainly inevitable but without any reason to have such a ww2 as we did and a comparative of reality, a better Britain leaving the great war, perhaps their position in India would strengthen as anti colonial sentiments won't peak as much and INC might even negotiate a dominion status (which was actually proposed in 1929). I have no idea on how other things would play out though. Another aspect I wanna know that since there was no American involvement in the war, will the world even face the great depression? Overall I think this scenario massively benefits Britain, especially in colonial holdings.

Why would fascism still come to Italy? They got what they wanted after the war which as far as I know was a major sticking point for the discontent that lead to fascism taking hold. Also the failure in Ethiopia didn’t occur in this timeline since it was never on the table

I'd definitely love to see a continuation, also because I am curious about what could happen in South Africa

[inigowelser]

I'd definitely love a second part of this. A three team ww1 is very original, and a ww2 starting with pretty much a developed cold war would be very interesting.

Spain held north African possessions until 1975. Although hard, they managed to do it very well. More realistic is to reduce it to what in our timeline actually got and give Algeria to France. Much more realistic than give it all to France

[tdetitanic]

I think Spain would face two options:
- An earlier Republic, as the monarchy is humilliated and its main support, the army, is destroyed. They would have been motivated by the 1910 portuguese revolution (if it still happens). This republic would be more stable than in our timeline, because most of the rebel generals during the civil war fought and got promoted in the Rif War, this time they would be either dead or low officers.

-A military dictatorship: Just as in our timeline, the war in Africa weakens the gouverment, getting couped by general Primo de Rivera with the King's blessing, like in OTL. They could pursue closer ties with the central powers, seeking revenge agaist France, or get influenced by Mussolini, just as Primo de Rivera tried to do in reality before resigning.

Anyway, I'm looking foward a continuation of this timeline. Great video, as always

This scenario is arguably better than our own timeline. The Berlin conference really should have been decided by PH's viewers.

[Zurich-xxyt]

Always fun to see these alternate wars, but I was a little surprised that you had the Boer state remain neutral during the alternate WWI. The Boers were generally pro-German in our timeline, and it's easy to imagine them joining Germany's side, especially if they were promised some of Portugal's colonies in the peace deal.

[ЙоанТропчев]

As someone from the Balkans, I have an intrinsic interest in part 2. Would be awesome if peace lasts. Viewers should decide borders more often.

[PatrickKniesler]

This was a solid way to make new content ideas. You made it your own and really looked at this possibility in a fresh way. Please chase this for one more video, even if it doesn't become a world war. You could probably make two videos about: one about the differences in political and economic realities and one about what would happen. Even though I think you usually make these more map-based videos I think that people have appetite for the other kind.

[alistersinclair]

Part two is definitely wanted! For all the reasons commentors have already stated, but also because I need to see South Africa freed from slavery. It was bad enough under the British, and they abolished slavery lol

[AlkalineandAcid]

Third 'Alliance' and Backstabbing the Turks? This WW1 sounds hype.

Edit: Wow, the Russians were by far the winners of this WW1, they got practically everything they wanted and came out looking like the most reasonable of the great powers.

[zabor]

This was extremely interesting and very well done, quite unique. An amazing scenario you painted from a very strange turnout from the berlin conference.

[GigaRoman]

We would LOVE to see a sequel! Please do it!

[danielsantiagourtado]

You're amazing man! Thanks For this! 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[MrPbhuh]

It's hard to imagine how Germany with all it's divisions in the west wouldn't curbstomp france in a matter of weeks.

One of the reasons why the schlieffen plan failed was because of extra divisions in the east to defend against russia.

I really wonder how USA would have viewed this war, considering Entente/Balkan Alliance seeming aggression. A continuation would be fascinating. A stronger Russia under a Tsar and Germany with a Kaiser still.

[Shoshua]

Good stuff for adding representation of the armies and frontlines. It makes it easier to follow and makes it look more professional.

[KnoxZone]

Viewers: Lets make sure the British get nothing!

UK: And I took that personally.
