Viewers might be fooled into believing that the first map of this video is wholesome because it has huge poland in it, when infact, it is wholesome because Belgium doesnt fucking exist
Lmao didn't even see that

I was just about to comment that too
The perfect world
~no denmark~ too
Yeah no it's way too unrealistic. At least you didn't include some fictional land like "Belgi*m" and Denmark
Funfact: according to Cody from the alt history hub, al andalus surviving causes the Netherlands to not exist
I can attest, everyone in Belgi*m are actors payed by the gouvernement. We don’t exist.
It's weird that you even brought up the legend of Belgi*m and Denmark
@@andreman86probably due to the legend of Danish Livonia

I love how Denmark and Belgium just doesn't exist
They sank because the Dutch made new lands by reclaiming the sea in Indonesia to make more colonies, and the extra water had to go somewhere. This also sank Florida 😢
i think its just an april fool joke

What do you mean, Belgium doesn’t truly exist
what the hell is denmark and belgium
I was confused about this video, but after you mentioned space hussars i realized this was a true polska moment

@@Epic_the_french_guy Haters will say Russia is infinitely more powerful and would curb the space hussars
Belgium being so good friend to Britain (after they achieved they independence), that they decide to become a pool to give some waters to British Navy.
Also Denmark decided to save their Baltics friends from WW2 by sacrificing themselves.
Naahhh, after they have beaten the Dutch, the Dutch simply sank all of Belgium. Because if they can't have it, nobody can.
It was the rising tide of nationalism that flooded Belgium
This is incredibly unrealistic. Everybody whose read the eminent historian Algernon Fitzwilliam Carruthers's book from 1891, "The Ebb and Flow of Empires: An Inquiry into the Supposed Rhythms of History", would know that Poland's cycle means that it is a historical inevitability that they create the Polish Space Hussars by the end of the 19th century, which would easily allow Poland to conquer the Moon.
Poland can into space 🗿
Yeah exactly
Is this a parody of that guy that said George Washington raided London in a space shuttle?
@@minestar2247 no im mocking whatifalthist
This is based on this video if everything went good for Poland
The Napoleon point/joke does honestly shed light on just how hard alternate history is to predict. One figure in a given circumstance can completely cause change that otherwise would not have been the case, and you just can’t reliably predict that.
What’s next? What if everything went PERFECT for England?

@@cpj93070 yeah
Imagine if they started a union with Scotland and Ireland that would be crazy. And also maybe Hanover or something
There are MANY things wrong with this scenario:
1. Gustavus Adolphus not falling from his horse is impossible to happen. Even if he were to survive, Sweden wouldn't defeat Poland, as both countries are now in NATO.
2. After the French revolutions, it's impossible for somebody competent to rise to power. The French favoured a system not based on skill, but on social status. France also conquering Europe and then losing is impossible.
3. The events of the 20th century puzzle me the most. Why would Germany lose the First World War? This is impossible to happen. Why would an untranationalist state and a communist state work together? This is insane and I don't know how you could come up with such idea...
4. Finally, the most unrealistic part is the partitions of Poland... You know that Poland can simply refuse and in turn Russia, Prusisa, and Austria would back down and respect Poland's decision, right?
Not your most realistic work, sorry.
It is indeed strange that such hegemon like germany in this timeline(with such a strong hold of polish industrial teritories) would lose to the coalition only because britisch had blockaded their coasts. I hope that PH would reutrn to his more realistic scenarios and you're videos are pertty cool rewriting history(ngl)
bRotherS and brOs possible hitorie has fall off 😔 only funny 69 number veiwis in a day 😕 🤦
Yes! Surely, even if Gustavus Adolphus didnt fall off his horse, i'm sure he would've fallen off his horse in the near future!
"Untranationalist"
Everything seemed realistic up to the Cossack rebellion. I mean, c'mon, the polish government and institutions are way too stable for there to be a rebellion. What would more likely happen is the Cossacks would propose a reform in the polish diet to make the state more fair, I'm thinking a polish-lithuanian-ruthenian commonwealth. The resulting state would be even more stable and powerful than OTL (as hard that is to believe) and Poland would inevitably beat back the russians and swedes in a round two.
I looked at it and went "Isn't this just actual Polish history?". Turns out I've been sleep dimension travelling again. I know you may think it's unrealistic, but he's actually remarkably close. Only thing is that Denmark and Belgium didn't disintegrate, if you can believe it.
April Fools!

The Portugal and Spain switch of colours killed me at the beginning
You mean Portugal and the Celtic Empire?
Isn't that Kingdom of Southern Galicia and Basque Empire?
A real Prince and the Pauper situation. They both think they'll gain from trading with one another. Except now Portugal is dealing with crippling inflation, and Spain suddenly has England for a friend. Truly cursed.
Such an unrealistic scenario can’t imagine a Poland like this
I like how this is just our timeline, implying this is the worst timeline
yeah, it is
it's a prima aprilis joke
@diempyl2165 I wonder how many takes it took him to not chuckle even a little bit.
I mean only things which could go wrong for poland didn't First is victory at Grunwald second is That Poland lose battle of Warsaw (1920) and is conquered by bolsheviks
wdym his scenario was incredibly unrealistic. He can't just say that Russia somehow manages to win a war against poland, as it was easier said than done. In our timeline, the russian troops were crushed by the winged hussars, so I can't see any realistic scenario where Russia can manage to hold them back. I am unsubscribing from this channel, since he cannot think straight and acknowledge the fact that there is no realistic scenario where poland could possibly be partitioned. Definitely the worst alt history video I've ever watched
Yeah because of belguim
"What if Everything went TERRIBLE For Poland?"
You mean history?
*actually starts watching the video*
Oh.
Great alternate history video! Can you do: "What if everything went terrible for Carthage" next?
Poland is the modern day Carthage between Militaristic Rome/Russia and divided progressive Western EU/Hellenic States :(
There seem to be some mistakes in one of your old maps you showed at 1:48. It depicts some extra landmasses in the North Sea including a land connection between modern day France and the Netherlands along with some peninsula above Germany.
Actually, these areas, the last remaining parts of Doggerland, did exist once, however due to rising sea levels they would slowly sink due to rising sea levels. We do not know a whole lot about these places, as much has been buried on the ocean floor, but the peninsula in the north is theorized to be the island which Tacitus claims to be "the home of the Cimbrians" (which were a tribe that attacked Rome around 100 BCE). It might also be where the Angle-part if the Anglo-Saxons came from, due to the area south of it (Saxony) being where the Saxons came from, fleeing from the rising sea to what is today England, however both of these theories are disputed. The place south of the Netherlands, what is today the mouth of the Rhine, would sink during the industrial revolution because of the ice melting.
@@Ronja_the_fairyCompletely false, it's actually Catterland (the lost land between France and the Netherlands) and Mouserland (the lost land of the Hamburger Peninsula in Germany). Doggerland is actually the lost land between Spain and Morocco.

@@BRUH-lx3jvOh yeah, i often get them mixed up.
This is one of the most saddest April fools day jokes I’ve ever seen… Poland will have everything go wrong always…
That was exactly my thought after I read the title. 😅😅
It is truly hard to imagine such a terrible timeline, painful to watch ngl
I'm glad we live in the best timeline. Proud to be a space hussar 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱
@@IdioteerButRealthank you for your service fighting the evil nazi moon men, youre a true hero 🙏
Love how the worst possible scenario is literally canon😂
The worst possible scenario is probably Lithuania unifieing with Moscow instead of Poland, which almost happened.
Basically you get the Russian empire dominating Poland centries earlier and poles end up a tity poor micro nation like Slovakia or maybe cease to exist entirely by modern day era.
@@matthiuskoenig3378In this type scenario Poland only have 2 enemies, Czechia and Russia, so Ottomans and Sweden would be much closer too Poland, as they're wouldn't be rivals and all off them would be against Russia much quicker in history.
I love the implication that Limburg is also part of Belgium, and as such deleted lol
Should’ve given it all to the Netherlands and Luxembourg
Nobody expected the Schlieffen naval invasion of France.
Mr. Impossible History strikes again.
I am Polish so I would absolutely hate that timeline, 1/10
I live in Polish Greece. I hate it too
more like 1/9
i love how everything just sinks
what do you mean
What is this you speak of..? Belgium? Denmark? It's time to rest on our Polish moon base, my friend. No need to speak of such far-fetched fictional nations.
honestly the main takeaway I had from this is that our timeline had so many random shits come about and "okay this event produced a fucking genius out of nowhere" that makes all alternate histories stupid for not including bullshit level OP character insertions
I like how this shows how ludicris our own timeline is. Maybe people can stop complaining about "realism" now.
Happy April Fools guys!
I think it is very unrealistic to say that Poland would be partitioned in the late 18th century, this is because Poland historically was in a very stable and prosperous position during this time period and even if they didn’t puppet Russia or not become as democratic, you can’t simply ignore how far ahead Poland was in almost every way to the other powers during this time period.
I, as an amateur historian, find this to be absolutely and utterly unrealistic.
Poland losing? What's next, Rich Latin America?
That last, is a truly good joke
Fascinating and really good keep up my friend 👍🏻
NOOOOO!!
I really thought this wasn’t an april fools video and I was so excited to watch it.
That a Land between the Netherlands and France named Belgium exist is the biggest Mandela effect i ever had to this point.
Wow, this is a truly terrifying alt history, but silver lining, Belgium was sunk under the seas
Honestly was a little upset with how unrealistic this scenario was until I remember it’s April Fools. Thank god such an impossible turn of events never happened to Poland.
I can picture the Space Hussars of the Polish-Terran Commonwealth patrolling the edges of their claimed space in their Tarpan-class starfighters.
This is beautiful. Also, I like how multiple countries on the map are just GONE.
This is the best one ive seen today istg
love how poland is finally getting its true representation on the internet! but the video is quite unrealstic, i dont think that could ever happen to poland..
There's so much to talk about in regards to the map in the beginning, but my favorite part has to be Greater Wales/Ireland taking parts of Great Britain back, yet at the same time losing Gwynedd, the most Welsh and Celtic place in all the UK
It's a nice day/night when this man posted a video.
I know this is a April fools special but I wish other UA-camrs teach history like this
0:13 love the Belgian lake
Andy that Denmark is gone
Belgi*m? We don't say that word here
What’s a Belgium? Sounds incredibly strange, however tho as a Congolese citizen I would have to *hand* it to whoever made up Belgium, they sure did make up something terrifying!
@@Fill39 Wow, as another congolese citizen, i sure gotta *hand* it to you, that was a pretty good joke!
wth is a "Belgian"
Wow i love this alternate history so much you should do more
This has to be the most accurate alt timeline i have ever SEEN... wow... It is so accurate... good job!
I'm glad you still included the disappearance of Belgium in this timeline. It's so weird how the entire country just vanished overnight and I really don't see it not happening in this timeline just because Poland failed. I feel like you managed to stay realistic enough. It's like you said, you covered a lot of time.
The only stretches really are Russia just having a revolution for no reason and Germany deciding to also become extremist, but like the exact opposite of Russia just for the lolz.
Maybe France conquering Europe for a short while is a bit of a stretch, too, especially after the revolution. But in our time, they had a pretty strong military even back then, so I can sort of imagine someone taking advantage of the situation.
I am so so glad that Poland (in our time-line) can into space! It is revolting to imagine a world where Poland can't into space.
The space program, balkans bit and 8:23 "economic issues" absolutely broke me
Great video Potential History! Next video should be “what if the Habsburg Netherlands never sank”. Or maybe do another collaboration with Redrawing History, RippedWashington, StoryMom and Kunskapis!
Damn the unlisted video released glory to Poland 🇵🇱🇵🇱
Scenario Idea: What if the French Plan XVII (The plan to invade Belgium in case of a German attack) was used in the First World War?
what's a belgium?
Belgium?? You mean the fictional country?? You know the lands od belgium are actually a small sea, right? I know the dutch have plans of turning it into land, but still, belgium is just fiction
I really like how you did, not only remove Denmark and Belgium, but you also made the blockade around Germany
Okay but you should do this type of video with Fuhrerreich or something. That'd be cool
Even saying this is the "most unrealistic scenario" would be a huge understatement. Poland doesn't dominating Europe is just unimaginable.
You should do more of these alternate history from another timeline
I love the fact that everybody plays along
He didn’t include Denmark from the beginning, and took away Belgium from the middle and onward😂😂😂😂😂
Denmark existed in Roman times
Wow, that is clearly a bizarre scenario
Never thought you would go so fictional
Great video I wanna see what if everything went right for Canada
I think a video with just the geographical map of this world would be very interesting
Released the video to the public at literal midnight for me
Wow this is almost as unrealistic as "What if there was a country named Belgium which occupied the sea of Holland and brutally oppressed the Kongolese?" or "What if the Dane vikings reclaimed the ancient sunken peninsula of Jutland?"
good video!! I think it is a good idea to alternate the history of smaller countries but with like a good history like Bulgaria, Czechia or Greece
Love it!
Watching this on the high speed train from Kaunas (Kawno) to Minskas (Mińsk). Can't believe an alternative history where there are different political entities... Crazy.
We sure are lucky that we don’t live in such a horrible timeline
Love how it just devolves into World War 1 and World War 2 at the end
Ohh I remember this from that one live stream!
Basically we are living in the world where everything went as bad as possible for Poland
Yeah, happily not completely everything went bad
@@Bauvolkthey are on a rebound
Germany winning WW2 would be the actual absolute worst, since they would just wipe out the Poles eventually.
@@hjuy4049 I mean communist Poland was pretty bad still, and Germany wasn’t very sustainable and would be bound to have the alliance tear itself apart
@@kylezdancewicz7346 The Germans had already settled a lot of Germans into Poland, and killed millions of Polish people, if their occupation over Poland had lasted to only like 1955, the Polish population would be devastated. It is nowhere near as bad as communist Poland, like it's not even close.
Poland: _exists_
Europe: is it for me???
also eu: _mouthwatering_
Finally, something good to watch
very interesting video, although i need to ask, what was that weird land over germany when you showed the map of the roman empire?
Wow, not only is this scenario wildly unrealistic and far fetched (you even included some weird French power fantasy in this), it is also obviously plagiarized from Historia Polski by Witold Bobinski. Shame on you, PH!
Damn I can't watch so much Ls for Poland! I can't cope!
Now I HAVE TO imagine some headcanon continuation for this timeline so that it won't be THAT bad for poles! Like, I don't know, what if this Soviet Russia you're talking about will collapse? Like, what if they'd lose their western lands so that there won't be (or at least there'll be too little) borders between Russia and Poland? And what if Poland had a chance for democratisation and economic growth after all?
I did not understand the video initially but then I remembered today's date
I love what you did there, I wonder how many people got the joke
As a Pole I think It already did went really bad in our timeline
Edit: I've written this comment before watching now I see lol
Thats the idea of the video, watch it
Polish Imperialist when they only dominate Europe.
I love how this is just a history of Poland😂😂😂
I know😂😂
No no it is definitely an alt history and DEFINITELY not a April fools joke
Great video ! Could you do "What if everything went TERRIBLE for SCOTLAND" next please ?
Wow I am so shocked that Beljium and denmark just flew off the map
...
I know this is a joke video but I'd say Germany losing WW2 is not the worst thing that could have happened to Poland at that time
What if everything went perfect for the axis powers
What axis powers?
@@minestar2247"The German team"
i think a spinoff for a minor faction from this video is a little silly tbh :/
@@minestar2247The German team in the WW2 of the timeline shown. Unrealistic premise, Poland would never lose to Russia and Sweden, but yeah.

This is really well written. I like how you keep making brief flashes of hope for poland but then tear it away. I will say the whole thing almost seems obnoxious in how grimdark it is.

Wait, are we not living in this universe?
that's the joke, it's april fools
April Fools.
I don't think the Soviets are still around.
i just noticed halfway through that denmark is gone, lmao nice work
I loved the video, but I noticed you made a mistake in the map by adding this peninsula south of Switzerland?
At 1:53 you say Poland is at its peak which would mean that it fell down later which is absurd cause it is the greatest superpower now.
Also please make a video on What if the Ottomans were Christian.
