Alternate History Map Starter Pack:
- Make every separatist movement an independent country.
- Bring back or retain dissolved unions or countries.
- Make countries that lost wars the winners.
- Return lost territories.
- Weird small country or micro state in the middle of nowhere or inside a bigger country.

Imagine if every country was like Chile, but still the same land mass

Fun fact, every 15000 years or so, the Sahara does turn green due to the shifts in monsoons. However, it is likely that humanity is going to be oofed before we ever see a green Sahara again.

4:03 Correction in 1991-now there was no East Pakistan it should be Bangladesh.

Dyatlov incident has been solved.
1. Hikers set up camp.
2. Got drunk.
3. There was an avalanche.
4. Drunk hikers thought avalanche was going to bury camp.
5. Ran away from camp.
6. Avalanche missed camp.
7. Drunk hikers got lost. (It was night, they were drunk, snowing)
8. Drunk hikers froze to death.

Alternate History videos are fun.
I'm impressed with the detail and effort that is put into the creation of the maps and histories.
And if there is a multiverse, all these exist.

"Thick Guatemala" actually looks fairly similar to the real (but very shortlived) Republic of Central America.

(AKA the ~20 years that Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica attempted to be one country.)

I wouldn't call it an alt-history "cliche", but it would actually make sense as a somewhat plausible premise.

Basically just "What if the RCA actually worked?"

15:41 I didn't know of this particuliar incident, but in the 1950s the Kyshtym desaster happened, one of the biggest and still least-known nuclear accidents in the entire hiatory.
The area is closed for the public despite hundrets of thousand people living there.

4:20 The province that Mongolia Annexed is actually called Inner Mongolia, and I suppose has links to Mongolia

[rickardspaghetti]

2:55 Ah, yes. My favourite British zombie movie. "Train to Brighton."

Imagine that, an American who doesn't know the name Vespucci...

[speedshadow]

10:30 THATS LITERALLY THE USSR HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT

The Netherlands: Allow me to introduce myself…

I'm kinda disappointed not to see Sinai on the peninsula map.

How many other places can claim to be a peninsula attached to another peninsula?

[arnavranka]

4:08 India would have recaptured Aksai Chin, Gilgit, Baltistan, Mirpur, Tharpakar and Chittagong Hill Tracts if PRC was not there. It would also still retain control over the exclaves of Mansarovar and Mt Kailash.

1:37 i mean (correct me if I'm wrong) South Africa always relied of naval routes more than land ones, even being the reason the VOC founded the Cape colony in the first place and being a large factor in the first capture of the colony by the British in order to deprive France of the opportunity of such a strategic trade route. if anything having more greenery up in the northern cape might help the RSA economically considering the vast amount of fertile land. it would be interesting to suppose from a botanical standpoint i think because of the potential affects it might have on the fynbos of the western cape. also probably would change ethnic distribution a large amount considering the inhospitality of the KZN area. sorry for this being disjointed and long winded but im just a cape townain sharing my thoughts

[erichtomanek]

How about a LONG Iceland that stretches down to the South Atlantic following the Mid Atlantic Ridge?

[RegentPandora]

I find it a bit funny that Drew didn't even notice the Among Us joke while looking at this map at 8:51.

[madocchampionmacpherson]

6:50 what if we built the canal and used the dug up land to create the land bridge?

[vladof_putler]

4:08 Is that happens, India is probably going to get Aksai Chin back from Tibet and Xinjiang.
