What If CATHOLIC'S Won The 30 YEARS WAR? (Ft. Possible History)

#history #alternatehistory #animated #ck3 #eu4 #hoi4 possiblehistory

The 30 Years War is one of the most complicated and important wars in human history. Today we are exploring what would have happened if the Catholics won the 30 years war. What if the Habsburgs won the 30 Years War. What if Austria won the 30 Years War. What if Spain won the 30 Years War.

Suggestion for a new topic:
What if Constantine III stayed in Britannia in 407 AD and kept the province Roman? Instead of fighting in Gaul, he strengthens this outpost to become "Nova Romana", which years later the Saxons would have problems taking it for themselves.

I misspoke at 15:20, the Peace of Munich was signed on January 2, 1642, NOT in 1842. I also accidentally said France joined the Catholic League, when it was the Catholic Coalition, sorry about that

[john-georgiosarkis]

Another great video. I think a good list of alternate scenarios for future videos could be:

1. What if the Jacobites successfully reconquered the British crown?

2. What if the mongols conquered the Mamluks?

3. What if the Brazilian empire survived?

4. What if Japan became catholic?

5. What if the new world discovered the old world?

6. What if Spain won the Spanish-American War?

7. What if the Crusades succeeded?

8. What if the French Revolution failed?

9. What if Carthage conquered Rome?

10. What if Catherine the Great successfully restored the Byzantine empire?

What if Poland and Russia united under one banner i wanna see it

[maxschon]

A lot of Protistant Germans would leave for the Americas or south Africa. The former dutch colonies in Indonesia would be safe haven for them too. If there would a Habsburg Pope he will declare a new crussade to reconquer Constaninople and the Holy Land.

[francescocarlini]

With the Thirty Years War cut shorter, one of the Catholic powers would invade England during the English Civil War to help the Royalists.

As always, great video, and also great that you and Possible History are collaborating.
I have 4 suggestions for videos:
1. What if Spain remained an important Empire in the XIX Century by: Keeping the Philippines, conquering Morocco, and maybe keeping Cuba and Puerto Rico (I think you're doing this one, so take it as a reminder).
2. What if Al-Andalus never collapsed?
3. What if China became Muslim and Japan Christian?
4. What if the Omani Ibadi Empire never collapsed? (I may help you with this one because I know a lot about Oman and Ibadism).

as a spaniard i love this scenario, finally a united iberia, with full control over the americas, we could see an america full of spaniards, and of course all pf the peoples of those civilisations there too. ¡Plus Ultra!

Congrats on the shout out from Possible history! You're making strides man!

I was literally the 4.000th like. Now im waiting for the party 2

[archanarajan]

Suggestion - What if the French and Austrians won the Seven Years War.

[justynajoniak]

What if Wladyslaw III crushed the Turks at Varna leading to a Catholic domination and ending House Osman before they could dominate the Bridge of Europe and Asia (delayed discovery of America? Massive Poland? Christian Brethren United?)

[obiwankenobi]

A very interesting scenario!
I didn't know about the fact that the Spanish almost captured Paris in 1635. This as you said would have led to a complete domination of Europe by the Habsburgs. Thus centralizing the HRE and creating an universal monarchy.
The one thing that I don't think would have happen, would be the conquest of Russia. Wladislaus IV Vasa would have invaded Russia in order to take its throne and most likely ended like Karl XII or Napoleon in our timeline. The russians wouldn't have accepted a monarch that wanted to replace Orthodoxy with Catholicism. They already in otl resisted any such attempt like in 1242 or when Poland occupied Moscow in 1612 and even with a state of total anarchy, the Russians still repelled them. If Wladislaus had invaded Russia like in your scenario he would have failed.
Even with a disorganized and a badly equipped army they would have won thanks to the vastness and inhospitable environment of Russia. Napoleon wasn't defeated by the Russian army but by Russia itself.
That's my opinion on what would have happened.

Here are exciting ideas for alternate history scenarios: What if Elisabeth Joanna of Holstien-Gottrip ( mother of Catherine the Great) had lived and returned from exile and had made herself regent for her grandson Paul, the future Tsar ( Emperor) of Russia? What would be the motivations for Elisabeth Joanna of Holstein- Gottrop to make herself regent for Paul? What would she gain from it, and would Elisabeth Joanna be the mother figure her grandson Pual wanted from his mother? Would Elisabeth care for Paul or only use it to get power and make herself the new Tsar of Russia?

What if Oda Nobunaga survived and became the first Shogun of Japan? What would a Nobunaga Shogunate be different than a Tokugawa Shogunate ruling Japan instead? What direction could Oda Nobunaga take with him, Shogun of Japan, and would his first acts as Shogoun, and what would his policies and reforms benefit Japan? Could Japan win the Imjin War with Oda Nobungaga's leadership, and could Japan annex all of Ming China? Or is that impossible?


Which of these scenarios do you like best, Mr. Videntis? And which of the three scenarios are your favorites, and which have you never heard of?

[danielsantiagourtado]

Suggestion: What if Henry V of England Survived and birthed a dual monarchy?

[givemeawand]

What if Hanover remained in person union with Britain (both inherited by Queen Victoria) would be an interesting scenario

[James-pvkj]

Me encantaría seguir viendo los posibles escenarios a lo largo de la historia. Sigue así.

[ChloeVitagliano]

In this scenario England would either massively intervene on the Protestant side or the civil war would start much earlier due to Charles II already being suspected of having Catholic sympathies. Then the parliamentaries would still intervene.
