What if ALL Revolutions of 1848 Succeeded?

The year 1848 is perhaps one of the most important in European history. It was a period of chaos, as practically every nation in Western Europe suffered massive unrest. The goal was to get rid of the dysfunctional monarchies and create states based on shared language, religion, and heritage. So, what if all succeeded? How would Europe look, and what would change?

These ideas were introduced to most of Europe nearly 40 years prior to that, when Napoleon Bonaparte was invading most of Europe. He created the Confederation of the Rhine and created some unified Italian states. After he was defeated, his ideas of forming countries based on language continued to live on and even to thrive.

I find it funny that a video talking about the 1848 revolution is, well, 18:48 minutes long.

[titanics.o.s]

The fact that this video is 18 minutes and 48 seconds makes this video even better

[Theonlyrealonethereis]

1848: exists

Monarchies: “HERE IT COMES!”

I love how you can clearly tell where the creator is from after he gives Bulgaria Constantinople after a single war.

*VIDEO IDEA:* What if Austria-Hungary went through with the Sixtus Affair _(where austria tried to betray germany in 1917)

Edit: Lol I guess he did the video

Hey! One thing I wanted to mention in connection of the Hungarian uprising and revolutionary war of 1848-49, and just share my opinion (as a Hungarian, who's grandparents are from Transylvania): Hungary made an alliance with the Slovaks (who were called "tótok" in Hungarian) in 1848, because the Slovakian nationalistic movement's leaders thought it was their best interest, to be a well respected minority in an indipendent Hungary, than in the large Habsburg Empire. After some time - and at the end of the conflict, -Transilvanian Hungarians and Romanians made peace with eachother for basically the same reason. The biggest problem was with the Croats and Serbs, because they were very much influenced by the Austrian leadership. Croatia was in a Commonwealth with Hungary from 1091 (when St. Ladislaus the I, the king of Hungary occupied the region), so they could've achived the same status of indipendence within the Kingdom of Hungary, as Hungary wanted to be within the Habsburg Monarchy. So I think even tho Hungary became multiethnic (mainly after the XVIII. century), the minor nations' leaders could've made a long-lasting pact with the new Hungarian government.

Albania in this timeline: "Thank you Napoleon, you are my best friend"

That thumbnail is PERFECT! Loved the video! Suggestion: What if Austria won the wars of italian independence?

[giovannipeggio]

Extremely nice touch that the video is long exactly 18.48😁

[Perrirodan]

Realism 3, Ottoman is the sickman of Europe, they couldn't start such a war.

Also Walachia annexing Hungarian land early is ridiculous, they were way too poor and their army was bad.

As a Pole, I agree with most points you made about my country's fate should these uprisings succeed. The Polish client state would be very likely indeed, considering that just 20 some years prior a Russian client state did indeed exist in Poland before rebelling and losing.
The only difference I think would happen, is that in my opinion Russia would attempt to weaken this new Polish client state by separating the eastern, Ukrainian part of Galicia, and annexing it directly into the Russian Empire. Maybe they'd also give Germany back some of the land, but it's much less likely.

P.S: Now that I think of it, there was an (unsuccesfull) attempt to start a Polish uprising in Russia between the years of 1846 and 1848. I wonder if it's success would change much, probably yes since newly unified Poland would, as per the rules of "All uprising succeed", win against Russia.

9:10 Actually during the 1848 Revolutions in Spain, yes a Carlist War was going on, but it wasn't this time to put some '''Carlos'' in charge, actually the ''Second Carlist War'' as it would be called, was more like a little insurrection in north Spain, mostly in Catalonia. The reason the war occurred was that Isabel II refused to marry Carlos María Isidro son. So if the Second Carlist War was a success, which is veeery unlikely, the result would be that Isabel II agrees to marry Carlos ''junior'', or as the carlist called him ''Carlos VI''. Thus unifying both Carlist and ''liberal'' dynastic lines.

Omg great touch having the video be 18 minutes and 48 seconds

[Т-ми]

Great video. Here when this has just 11, 6k subs

[t-brick]

Is it purposely exactly 18 minutes and 48 seconds long?

[ElementalSamurai]

I love this idea! It’s kinda like if we skip forward a few centuries in terms of self determination and independence

[StarterOffical-Jousha-lfig]

It might seems like a short video but youtubers like you put days or weeks into the effort.

[Luzeru]

NO WAY! I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THIS YESTERDAY!!

[juandt]

fun fact: there was going to be a revolution in britain but it was cancelled because it was raining that day

[mappingshaman]

Realism: 7/10. The idea the russians and ottomans would effectively establish non agression is ridiculous. Russia was too heavily invested in pan slavism and the ottomans just united the south slavs (well except slovenes but nobody cares about them) under their oppression. There's no way they're just going to sit on their hands.

Also the ottomans shouldn't have been strong anyway. They were the sickman of europe, their army was outdated, so was their political system and their economy etc. I think even a new hungary would at least be able to secure status quo antebellum.

Also im pretty sure the independence of poland in galicia and prussian poland would have led to a general rebellion in congress poland
