France coming out the treaty chonkier than ever is just 10/10. Its hilarious how they can technically completely partition one of the great power, as long as all the other 4 agree on how to do that.

It needs some fixing and rules in the future for sure! 😂😂😂

@@s.m.2523Pretty sure this deal is Talleyrand’s wet dream.
You guys should've proposed to rename Austria to Australia instead.
This was absolutely hilarious
True btw. I got Australia because it would be funny, but what you suggested is even better! 😂
Austrialia...
less funny too obvious
I suppose with this name change, Austrian Australia from earlier in the video would also have to change its name, to Australian Australia (distinct from the other Australia in the east and Perth).

How did alternate history youtubers create a worse treaty than actual masses of memey viewers, and why do I love it so much?
We started very serious, but in the end we were tired and wanted to have some fun with the scenario. 😂
@@rewriting-historyso that ended up with Austria losing more than France did 😂😂😂😂
This is why you don't give a group of diplomats tons of alcohol and a very strict deadline. While the Vienna conference lasted long enough that if you got pregnant when it started you would have given birth before the end.
@@rewriting-history well if you ever want to make a sequel to this timeline like you did with the viewer’s timeline, just know,

You answered your own question!!!!!! Everyone loves the BS, and drama.

@@rewriting-historybro of the bros are here

@@rewriting-history you're the diplomat from Turkey?
this reminds me of the ridiculous WWI debate I had in my history class in high school. The teacher divided us into groups representing each country and I was in the Germany group. We were arguing over which country was most responsible for WWI. We somehow managed to convince the class that Russia was responsible for the war cause they backed serbia. It was a ton of fun.
Nah it was Russia fr they had no alliance or treaty with Serbia and thus had no justification for war against Austria
@@roastedturtle0820they had some reason to support Serbia , but just over the fact they were unofficially recognised as the protector of the Balkans , they declared war and brought their ally France in.
Well, that's interesting actually.
Pre-WW1 Russia was definitely one of the more bellicose nations in Europe pre-WW1. Christopher Clarke in his book The Sleepwalkers gives a lot of credence to Poincaré's visits to Russia, and how the Franco-Russian alliance was, in the eyes of the Russians at least, changed from a purely defensive one to an offensive one in 1912-1914. The Russians, eager for expansion in the Balkans, also interpreted his rhetoric as French approval of its mobilization, and Russian mobilization and general Russophobia then quickly led to escalations in Germany and Austria. However, it was the Austrians who sent the one-sided ultimatum to Serbia which was more-or-less an excuse to go to war with them, and they did that because of perceived German support, with Wilhelm II especially bearing a personal responsibility with all his weird, ignorant, war-mongering rhetoric.
Now, that isn't to say Germany didn't cause World War 1, but it wasn't solely responsible as the Entente later claimed. Some part of the blame also rests with the Austrians, Russians, and French, and even the Serbians themselves, who were far from the innocent little helpless country they are sometimes assumed to be. They were staunchly nationalist, proto-fascist even, and there is plenty of evidence that the Austrian claims that the government backed the terrorist Black Hand were true. Even the passive and wishy-washy, vague foreign policy of Edward Gray in the UK bears some responsibility: both Germany and France acted on what they wanted to hear, Germany thinking the UK would almost certainly stay neutral and France thinking it would almost certainly give full support from day one.
As usual, who caused WW1 is not a question with one answer. Each of the main powers bears at least some responsibility, and the systems of the early 20th century in the fields of diplomacy, culture, the views of the world as a struggle between nations or 'races' for supremacy, the opaque way of government leading to decision-making on foreign policy being in the hands of only a few, and the character and upbringing of those few are equally important. The inherent assumption that 'Britain', 'Germany' or 'Russia' were monolithic entities that made decisions as a whole is also wrong; individuals and groups within those countries caused the war.
It's easy to be able to point to a clear aggressor and blame everything on them, like you can do for WW2, but the causes of WW1 are much more complex, and you could make an argument for any country and for dozens of individuals within each country as the 'cause' of WW1.

This video could also be called "How France """""LOST""""" the Napoleonic wars"
i mean, to be fair France lost very little IRL.
@@jonasneebut at least they didn't gain all of spain, the maghreb and the land west of the rhine!
@@mappingshaman5280France later had most of Maghreb region except Libya and North Morocco
Austria will lose the next war, so they expand everywhere! 😂
How france won the congress of vienna
France: *loses the war*
Also france: *talks everyone into making them the strongest country in europe even stronger than both before and during the war*
Videntis: speech 100
What are you talking about lol? France here is considerably weaker than during the wars.
@genovayork2468 bruh they own all of spain, the maghreb and everything west of the rhine directly.
@@mappingshaman5280 Seem like legit, I can't imagine worse territorial losses
@@mappingshaman5280 In 1812 France directly owned all the Low Countries, north Germany, the Rhineland, Tuscany, Latium, Piedmont, Parma, Liguria, Savoy, Nice, Montferrat, Illyria, Swedish Pomerania, Andorra, Monaco, the Seven Islands; occupied four fifths of Spain, which it puppeted; puppeteered all of the Confederation of the Rhine, Portugal, Naples, Warsaw, Switzerland, Danzig, Pontecorvo, Benevento; held Italy in PU; had its dynasty in Spain and Westphalia; had allies in Denmark-Norway, Bavaria, Saxony... and many more I omit.
Please leave history to the knowers so as not to embarrass yourself harder.
@@genovayork2468 you are talking about owning PARTS of other countries and puppeting others (and btw that Spanish puppet was a drain on napoleon because of the insurgency). Let us also not forget what happened in the year 1812 in Russia. Here they just own all of spain, everything west of the rhine and sardinia, Algeria and Tunisia. And who even knows what will be a French puppet
Can you imagine being a Spanish rebel, who fought for years against Napoleon’s conquest of Iberia, and he’s finally defeated, only for the Great Powers of Europe to not only give full control of Spain to France, but stick another Napoleon on the throne as their ruler. Spain was the most screwed here lol
"And Prussia receives Cuba, renaming it 'New Romania'"
"To this day, it is unclear why"
Hohenzollern Romania, that's why.
They cooked, but no one ordered. 🔥🔥This map is straight ASS 🔥

Just like your mom 🌞🔥
I really hope he does a history scenario off this video.
I predict that France would become more confident due to gaining so much land after their loss, while Aus... I mean Turkey would probably be quite furious at how the Treaty went, especially since they were getting ignored by the second half of the Congress.
@@Hijiri_MIRACHION Hungary rebels against Turkey 1. The new name 2. The humiliation. The other great powers support this as long as Hungary is renamed to the Hungry German Confederation. This ends up being so successful Turkey stops existing. Hungry German Confederation unites the catholic lands. France moves into Italy and renames themselves the "Western Roman German Confederation Empire That Is Holy" Portugal gets Sicily, Syria and the rest of Africa (besides Algeria and South Africa) even though they didn't part take in the war. And Britain unites Australia and renames it Austrian German Confederation. Russia gets Bosnia but not Herzegovina who becomes an exiled Turkish government.
Literally no other country would agree to this and all of The German Confederation ends up in a war larger than the Napoleonic wars before the treaty is even signed
@@Hijiri_MIRACHIONRussia would become the masters of the German Confederation

I love these types of diplomatic things, it's extremely hilarious how the Germanic Confederation ended up. Honestly I would totally buy a board game style game where you can easily do these types of things. I look forward to more diplomatic discussions, perhaps even a version of this video but with (some of) the minor nations also included. I would also like to see how this would end up in a later video maybe?
Wait which German Confederation?
To be fair all you really need is paint, a map png/jpg and the most important one, friends
@@Chaotic_Fragment All of them.
@@hugo57k91 The tough part is getting the friends to go along with it.
@@BasicallyBaconSandvichIV having the same issue. Don't have anyone to do it with lol
They started discussing reasonable changes such as the future of the southern lowlands and ended up renaming the whole continent to The German Confederation
So France Lost the Final Napoleonic War but also became far bigger and stronger than they originally were 💀
I love how instead of dealing with France & making sure that a Napoleon never rose up again, they realized that they, being the 5 great powers, were unstoppable if they worked together, thus meaning they could carve up Eur- I mean, the German Confederation, however they liked.
tbf it worked lol
This is so far incredibly fun to watch, I can imagine this is what it was like in real life

I'm a huge fan of you too!
@@rewriting-history you're awesome
Thanks man!
Prussian Delegate was best imo
Please make a historical scenario off of this like you did with the fans. I want to see how this would blow up
You want to see each power lose in the first hour between 40% and 80% of what they gained?
This is the perfect balance of power ever. Nothing could ever go wrong.
tbf if russia keeps technological and industrial parity this may actualy be a perfect cold war as the british french and russian ambitions are more then sasiated
@@aureklanderson4498how about the german states they are much smaller and weaker
@@idk-zi3gw exactly, this power balence has sidesteped and renedered the german states almost irrelevant,they no longer have to be concidered as anything but mid tear exsesorys at best, the three powers with the strength to do things still are achived there ambitions and more

Try to get rejected from art school, then you'll get radicalized enough to conquer all of Europe.
This collaboration is even better than that one in year 1900 in China, we need more episodes of this.
"We should force Syria on Austria."
"Austria takes Iraq."
"Let's rename "Austria" to "Turkey"."

was looking for this comment.
France in the Viennese Congress having a big-brained Talleyrand as a delegate for the fate of post-Napoleonic War Europe
Talleyrand already was big brained since he managed to turn France from a defeated nation into a victorious one by proxy able to negociate, but in this timeline he just drugged half of the big powers and led them with strings Metternich was like "FUUUUUUU"
*German Confederation
Can you really call it post-napoleonic if napoleon is back in power
You should do that and then transfer the borders into a eu4 multiplayer
It’s called GCU4 now
Excited for the carving up of Africa video
I love how it was somewhat realistic in the first half
This was so fun to watch! You should definitely redo this in an alternate scenario, perhaps for the Peace of Westphalia? It would be even more interesting if you got some community members to join you next time, even if they are just minor powers with less rights in talks. Anyway, keep up the great work!
This is def one of my favourite of your videos EVER cant wait for the next one
Please do more of this. This was both hilarious and interesting! (Maybe with other peace deals or other people)
I have been laughing like a madman watching this, but there's just no way to explain what's so hilarious to my wife. Poor Turkey, they invited everyone to Vienna and got absolutely shafted.
I think you should do this way, wayy more! This was such a fun video
Absolutely amazing one of the best UA-cam formats
Can you make more of these? I like watching the map creation. And I like hearing the group discussions.
Only thing I would change is showing the call more with the map drawing
this was hilarious. thank you so much
This was great I am definitely looking forward to seeing the Treaty Verisile video. You also should do a redrawn post WW2 map redrawn scenario with the Soviets, Americans, British and French.
Can you do a Victoria 2 or 3 multiplayer game with the borders and governments from this video.
That would be kinda sick
I love this. Please do more!
"We did it Patrick, we saved Europe"

I love It! Make more of these 👍
The video overall is great and I hope something like this gets done again, but PLEASE make some subtitles for what the other people are saying, it's really really hard to understand them sometimes
Broo love this series already
Awesome, please more videos like this.
please do more this was gold
Would love to do this, looks immensely fun!
I love this and I hope you do more
This was such a fun idea for a video, i love the bulshittery and backroom deals of the talks
I love your channel it’s so good.
I didn't know i needed this
I like the concept a lot, but for me the video suffers from the fact that France's great negotiating success in coming out of Congress as an equal great power with little loss of territory is the starting point of the negotiations. Of course, France then comes out op, because it simply gets everything it got in RL in the negotiations here at the beginning.
As a french, i loved it
Tbh the Prussian claim to Spain was very much possible as a Prussian prince was to be the king of Spain but that never happened because the date sent to the Spanish congress about when the prince would arrive was incorrect leading to the Spanish congress being dismissed as they could not wait that long.
This became my favourite video!
videos from PH are my favourite videos.
This is hilarious I would love to see more videos like this
In the Versailles video, you should only refer to Europe as "The German Confederation" for the sake of consistency
This is the best one yet
Europe 0.00000000000000000001 seconds afterwards *HOI4 war sound effect*
You mean the German Confederation
I love these treaty + Peace conference videos!!
This was so good! Please make another one with the partition of Germany after WW2.
yes its amazing i am waiting for a continuation of this
"You want all of Spain."
"Yes."
(My brother put my keyboard in French causing me to break on of the keys. It was M BTW)
Lol i just realized you have 80k meaning that ive been subscribed since youve had 11k subs tbh my favorite video ss on the channel is what if everything went perfect for Pakistan and what if martian invaded since 1913 and if darkness literally kills you
Austria: "I declare war on Britain."
Metternich is rolling in his grave as we speak XD
this was actually so cool I'm looking forward to the next congress
Bro, Marklin was the best thing of this
Absolutely amazing
Please do more of this! I enjoyed this so much! Would love to see some more German mind games. Also. Please keep calling Europe the German Confederation for the rest of the series.
could you post your map templates? I'd love to do this with friends haha
So basically, Grance, by losing is now more powerful and bigger.
Austria and Prussia just said "fuck it, balancing? Not in my place, I am going to carve up that sh-".
What an AWFUL partition of Europe.
GG for the in real life master plan of Vienna, leagues above of this... landgrab.
Even the Viewer voted Conference was better lmao
"What an AWFUL partition of Europe."
Did you mean the German Confederation?
Austria takes bosnia
Ottoman empire : ??
Russia gets anatolia
Ottoman empire : wtf?! Whats my fault ????
Just saw the UA-camr list. I know this is gonna be a great video and I haven’t even watched it yet.
Loved the recent video on the aftermath of one of these stupid deals, where discord decided the new borders. Could we get a video on the aftermath of this peace deal?
Your welcome France, I win
Austrian Syria and the attempt at Austrian Iraq was absolutely hilarious
Great video but it left me with one question where do you get your maps and how do you go about editing your maps.
This is pure gold
That video was pretty nice actually
This goes to show how good the people participating in the congress really are. Massive respects to Talleyrand, Hardenberg, Castlereagh, and especially Metternich. Also respect for Alexander but for the fact that he was a massive troll, lmao.
Pls do more stuff like this ❤❤
THIS IS EVERYTHING I HAVE EVER WANTED
please do more of this
Im sorry why did Türkiye never try attempt to claim Dalmatia and Istria. As far as i can tell the territories are still in Venetian hands despite Venice being in under Turkish control
