question, if napoleon was down to make a free state of poland and even expand it a bit to russia, why didn't he even leverage independence desires of other factions in russia? like idk lithuanians or ukranians or something or would that be too early in the timeline to work properly

A much better timeline without any doubt.

Please make an alternate geography video like what Africa was upside down geographically? or what if Arabia was Green and Lush?

If the ottomans participated fully in the napoleonic wars. They would probably be a stronger empire

Hey! In this video you mentioned that the Bulgarians would be easy to assimilate, due to their defiance of Byzantium and having a weak national identity. This is very wrong! The Bulgarians were actually one of the *first* medieval nations with a national identity, which was a very important goal of rulers in the first Bulgarian Empire, and Asen's rebellion was also the first instance of nationalism in Europe. In addition, Bulgaria had a very flourishing literature which existed during both Byzantine and Ottoman rule. You also seem to overestimate the ability of the Byzantine Empire, and forget that they had a very laissez-faire approach to minorities and foreign peoples (by your logic, Albanians should have been nonexistent for at least 1000 years)

*Napoleon's continental system showed why a European sanction on a great power doesn't work: they can just find other trading partners. Yet here we are again 200 years later, sanctioning Russian gas so that we can buy the more expensive American gas, while Russia can just ramp up it's trade with China.*

Can You please correct the video’s name to Rus? Russia was never conquered by mongols. The Rus was.

They were autistic

Great video.

It would have great if the Russians set up a puppet "Kurdish Sultanate", Kingdom of Greater Armenia and a vassal "Kingdom of Chaldo-Assyria".

Bro your entire channel is anti-ottoman content do something positive with the ottomans for a change 😭

Would Barbary style ears come back into full swing due to ottoman dependencies gaining independence

What about Poland? Dose the Russians still get her ?

I wish my soul to be transferred into a timeline where islam would never exist

@Histories-Influence, can you do a video on British and Austrian imperial federation.

Super interesting idea, I like it!

great vid, but i doubt Russia wouldnt have taken all of Pontus. They were seen as liberators and a huge part of the population was still christian

It's a great work, but I believe the campaign of Russia would not happen in the same way. In my opinion? First, Napoleon would take back the balkans from the Russians yes, but as you said, he liked to create nations using old names. He'd revive the Byzantine Empire by uniting the former russian gains to the kingdom of greece, and would probably spend some time organizing this region. He'd delay his invasion for two reasons: first, his army did not perform too well durign the campaign, msot likely, as you said, because it did not had the professionalism he'd like. So this time woudl be taken to properly train the recruits. Moreover he'd have some turkish/muslim minorities to pacify, and would probably take the time to organize a Byzantine army. All in all it takes him the better part of the autumn and winter, during which tensions rise all over the continent, as the Russians are still impeded in their ability to trade. Finally, in spring, the French and Byzantine army start their advance. While the byzantine wouldn't be a mighty thing, it could help Napoleon in claiming lands around the black sea. His campaign could then turn less into a rush toward moscow, and more of an occuption of southern russia From there, anything is possible: the Russian could try to harass his supply lines, Napoleon could form a few kingdoms such as Ruthenia, Tartaria, Georgia, etc etc. Wether this would hold depends on so many factors, it's impossible to predict. In the most favorable terms for Napoleon, it could open a caucasus road into persia and then British India. Or it could still spell the doom of Napoleon as the Ottomans launch an attack to retake the balkans, with Austria and Prussia declaring another coalition to cut the Emperor off from Western Europe

"Future Bulgarian Kingdom" yet literally names it "Kingdom of Dacia" lmfaoooo

How would it affect the thirty years war?

Why does Z's voice end the video? I was listening contently up until the tone shifted and I had to turn the video off b/c I thought auto play was on...

I gotta say that Ataturk is THE Turkish leader that made me accept Turkey as a modernized state (after learning history ofc), for he was quite the great leader with a great vision for his nation. After the Armenian genoc*de, damage that they caused the Balkans and Middle East through their backwards system (Muslim and Christian, as well as ethnic). It was warranted that their fall would’ve been seen, and tbh, it amazes me how much their were kept in life support, even in our timeline, probably around one hundred years more than they realistically should have

I think you should really make a video exploring the two sides of Machiavelli, everyone knows “the prince” but showing how much he preferred the republican system over the empire or kingdom should be the continuation to this video.

I'm not so sure about the invasion of Russia in this timeline. If he invades from the south through Ukraine rather than west from Poland, supply would be far less of a problem, and Napoleon actually lost most of his army before he even reached Moscow, both from the Russian scorched earth tactics, but also just the lack of forage in modern day Belarus in general. Even if the Russians burn down half of Ukraine on Napoleon's march north, supply would still be much less of a problem. He could still overcommit to a march on Moscow just before winter, of course, and so he still might lose, but the odds are probably better than in our timeline. Edit: But I think he, or at least his empire, will lose in the long run.
