Welcome to the Synthetic History Channel, where I talk about events that didn't happen as if they did, using Paradox Interactive games (Hearts of Iron, Victoria, Europa Universalis, etc.) as a storytelling tools.
What if the Greeks Colonized the Western Mediterranean? Massalian Odyssey / Imperator: Rome
The Greek colonization of the Mediterranean and Black Sea coasts gave rise to many modern cities, and one of these cities was Massalia, present-day Marseille in southern France. Being an important player in the Western Mediterranean and one could say the main trade competitor of Carthage, Massalia became an ally of Rome, and helped the latter in the Punic Wars, for which it gained a niche in trade with Iberia. However, I do not know any ally of Rome which would not later become part of it, which happened to Massalia - during the civil war between Caesar and Pompey not without pressure it sided with the latter, for which was conquered by the former. The city itself didn't suffer much from this conquest, though, and moreover became the center of Greek culture in the already established Roman Empire, mainly because it was easier for the Romans to reach. Not a terrible fate. But could it have maintained its independence? In this video I will tell the story of Massalia's emergence not so much as a polis, but as a large state, using Imperator: Invictus as a storytelling tool.

What If the Ottoman Empire Modernized? The Tanzimat Success Story / Victoria 3
Переглядів 72 тис.3 місяці тому
One Turkish diplomat once told his European colleagues: "Our state is the strongest one: you are trying to make it collapse from the outside, while we are trying to make it collapse from the inside, and it is still not collapsing". And although the first part of the explanation is quite controversial, rather 50/50, because the Europeans in the 19th century on the contrary tried to avoid the col...

In the 16th century, during the time of the discovery of Japan by Europeans and a period of long-running civil war - Sengoku Jidai, Christianity had a chance to become something big for this country. But then the conditions were bad for its development - the most powerful Catholic daimyo Ōtomo Sōrin was defeated by Shimazu at the Battle of Mimigawa in 1578, being numerically superior, and lost ...

Hoi4 developers love to add Easter egg characters to their game, and probably the biggest "love" they bestowed on Hitler, who after his eventual defeat in the civil war can become the ruler of as many as three countries - USA, Argentina and Greece, and can also become a German secret agent of random gender. And with the latest DLC, he even got some unique secret focuses as the ruler of Argentin...

The Incas, a rather small people who lived in the center of the Andes Mountains, had a rather interesting fate - they created the largest empire in pre-Columbian America with the best infrastructure, the best administration, the largest army, the highest level of technology, the most gold and silver, the coolest llamas, and so on. In this video, I will tell you my story of how this empire was f...
World of Communists / AI Only RP storytelling / HOI4

One of the excuses that communists use to justify the failures of this ideology in the 20th century is the lack of scale - that if communism had spread to most of the world, and especially to the rich industrialized countries of Europe and the United States, it would have succeeded. Well, let's give them a chance, so to speak. In this video we will see what will happen to the world of Hearts of...

The Chinese civilization is probably the longest-lived of modern civilizations, second generally, perhaps, only to Egyptian, and maybe Sumerian ones - it has existed since 2000 BCE.

Переглядів 67 тис.Рік тому
Napoleon III, the last monarch of France, is certainly an interesting and ambiguous personality. On the one hand a populist dictator, and on the other hand - under his rule Paris acquired its modern look, became arguably beautiful, but definitely more comfortable and safer, and the country came out of the period of incessant unrest and revolutions. On the one hand, an opportunist who got involv...

The history of the Eastern Roman Empire, aka Byzantium, from the fall of Rome to the fall of Rome No. 2, Constantinople, is a story of constant decadence, losses and defeats alternating with small rises and successes, which nevertheless never brought the country to pre-crisis levels. In its thousand years of decline - the margin of strength of the Hellenistic empire was enormous - there were ma...

Benito Mussolini was a rather controversial personality. Although his contemporaries for the most part called him a grand man, which is obviously not worth denying, since his list of achievements is not small, in popular culture in general and in the community of HoI in particular he is considered a loser. Everyone knows the reason - Italy's failures in World War II. And his main mistake was to...

Mods used?
i really like this type of video. Could you in future ad a little symbol to show real history vs fake because in some parts especially the begining of the video
I love when youtubers roleplay. also your voice is quite calming and I like your accent. Great video
Sequel
comment for the algorithm
I did not expect britain to help ottomans like that lol
Please make the sequel
just discovered your content out of coincidence, using farya farajis music adds so much flavor
Democratic world when?
52:55 An idea for future videos, if you wanna make up a crises while still having it feel somewhat authentic, chatgpt is actually a good tool here. Use it when I start to steamroll the map to keep things fresh.
Epic video, so glad it popped up on my feed a year later
this is absolutely golden content, you play the game just they way I like it, keeping it realistic and being loyal to the roleplay, great great content
Wait Sequal
Can you do a rp of the mod of third odyssey and play as Elysium/exiled roman or byzantine's.
Make part 2
You know, I haven't played Imperator since way back on release, but this video has just convinced me to reinstall and give that mod a try.
Omg part two when???!!!
Red alert 3 is fire 🔥
дружище, привет из владивостока! Контент отличный, никогда не подумал бы что ты из Херсона, такой английский хороший, практически без акцента. Хуй войне!
What TV show is the footage at the start from?
Makes you think why things went the way they did
I really need a second part for this
23:08, future marxist historians would consider the following revolts fought Emperor John as one of the first burgeois revolutions in history, and ascribe the adoption of early capitalism as one of the reasons for imperial dominance. No parallel would be found in the west until the English civil war.
We demand a second part!
WTF ionians colonized massalia not the greeks. what kind of western propaganda is that ionians hated greeks they never accepted they are greek. They are anatolians not goat herders of aetolia or achaea. true masters of civilzation. now f*ck of
Brother the WORD ITSELF IS GREEK. Let alone the fact they requested assistance from Athens to rebel against the Persians. Pseudo history is your forte isn’t?
Meanwhile, here, in Korea, Churchianity is SUPER popular. To the point where it's even displacing Buddhism. ALL RICH fruits of the UN's KOREAN (Police Action) WAR.
Now that the Gotterdammerung DLC is out for HOI4, would you consider doing a redux of your Peaceful Hitler series? Love your videos, keep up the good work!
TRT1’i kaynak olarak kullanmazdım ben şahsen.
Tabii Efenim😂
The Anglican twist had me laughing greatly. Very well done, very logical, though I did not see it coming!
Anarchist Roman Empire when???
2nd part 🔥
Make a “what if the Spanish empire survived”
Oh my goodness, I want a part two. Let's goooo! United Hellenistic world
You definitely should make a sequel to this, maybe port it into ck3 and document the collapse of the Empire you built?
New Synthist video dropped
Feels like this is a nice callback to OfficiallyDevin’s Massalia Tales
At last, he shall entertain us once more! Worth the wait!
I thought this was a history e-documentary when I saw the thumbnail. Still watched the video.
Thank you for using Rome II music.
Great video man
I was about to look for more imperator videos and one of my favorite youtubers then makes a video, thank you.
After this video I want to play Emperor Thanks for remind me about this good game)
you're the best bro keep it up
hey, I like a lot this videos, you can do something similar with the Charruas in Buenos Aires? like making them a merchant republic or something like that? or just something that makes more sense
LFG SYNTHIST IMPERATOR
