Meanwhile, everyone in the modern world would get shocked as an entire country just vanished overnight, and what's even weirder is that, in it place, there is a piece of the Roman Empire, and naturally, the Romans would try to attack and conquer the neighboring modern nations, only for them to learn the hard way that it's impossible to do so, leading to the neighboring modern nations partitioning the now Roman Belgium and establishing a national park in the partitioned territories.
It would also have great implications transportwise, Belgium is a key interchange of both the European high speed rail network, and the centerpoint of the trans-European motorways. Add to that the port of Antwerp, with it being the second largest in Europe, its vanishing would need to be compensated by the other European ports, scattered across the continent. Lastly, Brussels as a political powerhouses with the government institutions of the EU and NATO, and the highest amount of diplomatic representation in the world. Without it, there's no saying what the remaining EU nations would do. There would be a deafening silence, that's for sure. So all in all, for being such a small nation, Belgium sure has made itself quite essential.
i am sure the romans and Celts living there could take over the Netherlands and Germany and Scandinavia without trouble since they wont fight back maybe France and the uk and Ireland too. but then they try to invade the Czech republic or Finland and get obliterated or nato comes in after they take the Netherlands
Maybe we will since vlaams belang is growing rapidly I'm flanders and the peaple starting to vote more right and since the nva didn't do anything to immigration the peaple will probably vote vlaams belang
Eh. Idk if Belgium would split in a difficult Time... And man... Stop Belgium slander. It's been 200 years of people telling "iT WiLl SPliT uP" and yet... It's still there because people there Can live together. Thé people who are voting for the separatist far right are (for the most of them) not wanting to Split UP.

@@theortafou I had Belgium split up to add spice to the video because just Belgium steamrolling everything would have gotten pretty boring at some point. So them splitting up and allying with other powers in europe shifted the scenario a bit. Thank you and I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
No sane Belgian actually wants to split. The N-VA is a less radical choice than Vlaams Belang, and it wants to fix the political system that makes Belgium go months without a government (Because there are too many parties). N-VA will have to give up on its wet dreams of splitting Belgium in 2 eventually, since their voters and other parties don't want that.
I can see two scenarioes happening, one on each side of the concerned time displacement : *1945* The allies, after just having conquered Germany, would be shocked to see Germany seemingly being able to somehow quickly rebuild itself and even reform itself as a nation, and the Germans themselves would be even more shocked, seen as their country somehow got transported to just after World War 2, and after some negotiations, the temporally-displaced Germany would agree to not join either NATO or the Warsaw Pact, and after the success that was Germany, the allies agree to do the same with Austria, leading to Austria being created a decade early, meaning that instead of an Iron Curtain, there would be an Iron Bloc of neutral nations, and the Cold War would be even colder, less deadly and more peaceful, the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc may or may not still collapse, but either way, the world would be a far more peaceful place. *Modern day* The entire world would get shocked to see Germany seemingly getting destroyed overnight, and even more shockingly, some foreign powers just somehow gained military occupation of parts of Germany, and the Germans themselves would be even more shocked, as after just having their country lose World War 2, they see their country and themselves with it somehow transported to the modern day, and unless history repeats itself and each of the occupation zones coalesces into either one or two Germany(ies), each of the occupation zones would be administered and integrated into their respective countries, with the American occupation zone getting admitted as the 51st state, the British occupation zone getting admitted as the 5th constituent country, and the French occupation zone getting admitted as the 14th metropolitan region, but most shockingly of all, the Soviet Union would return as the Soviet occupation zone, and unless it is given to any of the post-Soviet states like Russia or Ukraine, or even to its neighbor, Poland, the Soviet occupation zone would form its own country, either as the new German Democratic Republic or as the entire Soviet Union like how Kazakhstan was for a few short days, but either way, this new country would naturally be aligned itself with Russia and China, meaning that both countries would have a new European ally akin to Serbia, and as for Berlin, it would be divided into, not just two, but four different parts, meaning that, along with a West Berlin and an East Berlin, we would see a North Berlin and a South Berlin appearing on maps, meaning that Berlin would essentially become the new capital of Europe and by extension the whole world.

This is one of my favorite types of alternate history, there is a what if that i always wanted to see but never found a video about, i will say it as a video a idea "what if the european found more advenced nations in the Americas", i mean like , what if the native americans had something like 19th century or early 20th century technology, great channel, New sub.
@@belstar1128 yeah, thats for sure, i know, the 19th/20th century was just a example, the idea was if the europeans found a more advenced civ, lets say with tech similar to mid to late 16th century tech, but for some reason never crossed the atlantic or pacific.
If you speak french or don't mind reading subtitles, a french alternative history youtuber made a full on 3-season youtube series that was also adapted into a book series. The series is called Paris 1328, and is about if modern Paris was transported as is to its location in the middle of the hundred years war
belgium was not defeated in WWI... and a speedbump???? belgium made the difference in 1914 in the race to the sea! in WWII Belgium did not worse against the german warmachine than the french did, even better than most other small countries. that being said, great video!
Would Belgium with their modern sensibilities really take that much of France maybe some parts for economic reasons but I’m not so sure they’d want that much
It would give Wallonia too much power I bet. They'd also probably want their current borders so that they can afford to put fences and walls everywhere, to prevent its population from intentionally trespassing and tribesmen intentionally trespassing and spreading diseases amongst themselves.
I understand the plit up part, it's more interesting and spicy for the scenario, but it wouldn't happen. On the contrary it will bring us even closer and create unity, being the "only modern country". We aren't so divided either, like someone said in the comment, the separatist party is popular because of immigration issue, and that issue would vanish when Belgium got teleport 2000 year in the past, along with many other issue that used to divide some people here. Still, it's a very fun video, a like well deserved !
It would probably be replaced by a lot of other issues and with how competent (*cough* incompetent) most politicians have proven to be I highly doubt tensions would lessen. We don't have to worry about national debt anymore, now it's just figuring out how to keep a 21th century society working in a 1nd century or so world
Foreigner always overestimate the Flemish independance movement. Plus, being in that situation with a common enemy would revigorate Belgian Patriotism and Nationalism. I don't believe in a Belgian civil war, even in such a scenario
Belgian federalists always overestimate how much binds the nation together. If Belgium was located in the Balkan instead of Western Europe things would have been a lot different already. Gonna be interesting to see how things will hold together over the next couple of decades when money gets tight.
@@TheShadowOfZama Yugoslavia (because that's what you're refering too by "balkan") was a 84 y/o country who knew literal dictatorships. Belgium is a model democracy for 200 years without interruption and it's cultural and territorial unity exist for at least 1000 years (it wasn't always independant, but at worse an autonomous region who rebelled systematically when autonomity was reduced). Even if poor, Belgium would still be way more stable than some other modern Western Countries...
@@funnySIMON99 Wow did it take you almost two weeks to think of a reply? I am not even going to reply on your 'model' democracy statement. If you're a Belgian living in Belgium then you're going to get your chance to see for yourself in person whether your right or wrong. Also don't forget large swaths of the population were heavily marginalized for a long time in this 200 year 'model' democracy of ours by having limited or no voting rights. As for the territorial unity. I don't know where you got your 1000 years. Until 1795 it existed out of a variety of duchies, counties and the diocese of Liège. After that it took until 1830 for it to become a single independent territory instead of a part of a larger state.
@@TheShadowOfZama Didn't get the notification and I only saw your insult to Belgian history yesterday. I'll let you do your research but here's some keywords for you : "Habsbourg Netherlands" (before you say it, this was a territory will total autonomy except for foreign affairs and military), "Burgundian State", "United Belgian States / United States of Belgium", "Duchy of Lower Lotharingia", etc...
@@funnySIMON99 You're taking quite a bit of liberty talking about "Belgian" history considering all of those named examples included people and territories no longer part of modern day Belgium and/or were minor and unimportant periods of history. The United Belgian States existed for less than a year. The Duchy of Lower Lotharingia was a mess, The Burgundian "state" can hardy be called a state considering how much everybody was doing their own thing most of the time and the Habsbourg Netherlands can equally be used as an example of how different the various people living in them were. Brabantians actively fought Flemish for example during the Flemish revolts. So yeah you're using history quite 'liberally' when tying to 'prove' some sort of 'Belgian' cultural and territorial unity has been existing for at least a 1000 years. In fact you could say that the longer it goes on the more people and territories are getting out of this supposed cultural and territorial "unity" of yours.
I wonder how it would go if the US was put back in this time. How would they interact with sounding tribal empires and nations. Would we reproduce the atrocities we did in the past or lern from our mistakes.
@@davestylehenry That pretty much sums it up. Wouldn't be worth the effort for the Romans to conquer (not that they would succeed if they tried), but the Swiss would have all sorts of things to sell to the Romans. I see it end up like a sort of Armenia sort of deal except without the vassal status. A good neighbour to have around.
This his how belgium is suposed to be, and belgium will never split the have been saying that for almoost 200 years. And did you know that the belgians were known as the bravest true history
The only thing you missed which would have severely altered this entire shtick is the pure lethargic state in which most belgians reside. We would never go on an offensive against the romans, simply because we don't care enough about belgium, and there wouldn't be a civil war, simply because we don't care enough about independence.
Yeah, as a Belgian I agree. We just wouldn't care enough to fight and die against a bunch of Romans, the same reason why we wouldn't turn against eachother, we Belgians are live-enjoyers, I mean, if the Romans would like our beer, I think we would even team up, you never know.
@@isaakchatelet7260 Yeah exactly, life-enjoyers, couldn't have said it better myself. Take in to account that all by all our lives in modern Belgium are pretty fucking good considering everything. I really don't see anyone ever taking arms up against another country LET ALONE eachother. IF belgium would ever split up, which i don't rule out in the future, it's 100% going to be the most boring, uneventful country-breakup ever. Maybe a cynical joke about it and a handshake.
Actualy 9.000.000 Belgians 3;000.000 immigrants: Belgium never exicted , it started in 1800 with leopold I . Before it was all gallia a territorrie fran trans alpine ,whole france and gallica unthil the MAAS ( all gaul terrytorie split into 30 big and smaller tribes), afther the maas was germany . The gallic tribes( in belgium) where the euburones and the nerviers . The gauls lost the wars against the romans because romans had rained prof soldiers and in Gaul only the nobelmen had descent arms, So the romans fought almst always armed farmers ! ! Romans killed millions of gauls because they wouldend give up there lands to the romans. With no mercie. WAW julius ceasar was the first hitler and dictator ;-)
It wouldn't take a large army by modern standards to beat the Romans, let alone hold them back. The most men Rome ever mobilized at once was 450,000 men a little less than 200 years after this, maybe they could come close to those numbers, but that's the uppermost peak of what their agricultural technology and society will allow, with the difference in firepower I doubt even this force could overpower the standing Belgian army, not accounting for the conscription which the Belgians would reintroduce if they saw themselves as seriously under threat. However, I don't think the idea of conquering Rome would be popular in the Hague, namely out of fear on how that would affect history and the creation of Belgium itself. As a result, I think Belgium will be content to hold its new borders after the conquest of the Netherlands and Western Germany. Rome for its part would realize, and likely pretty quickly, that it is incapable of conquering Belgium, and would seek to establish friendly relations. The Roman Empire or Republic would be happy to have a "civilized" Latin people holding down their western border.

Bah, the romans are famous for learning from their enemies, by the end of the year they will have a militairy to rival the USA
It would also have great implications transportwise, Belgium is a key interchange of both the European high speed rail network, and the centerpoint of the trans-European motorways.

Before it was all gallia a territorrie fran trans alpine ,whole france and gallica unthil the MAAS ( all gaul terrytorie split into 30 big and smaller tribes), afther the maas was germany . The gallic tribes( in belgium) where the euburones and the nerviers . The gauls lost the wars against the romans because romans had rained prof soldiers and in Gaul only the nobelmen had descent arms, So the romans fought almst always armed farmers ! ! Romans killed millions of gauls because they wouldend give up there lands to the romans. With no mercie. WAW julius ceasar was the first hitler and dictator ;-)

It wouldn't take a large army by modern standards to beat the Romans, let alone hold them back. The most men Rome ever mobilized at once was 450,000 men a little less than 200 years after this, maybe they could come close to those numbers, but that's the uppermost peak of what their agricultural technology and society will allow, with the difference in firepower I doubt even this force could overpower the standing Belgian army, not accounting for the conscription which the Belgians would reintroduce if they saw themselves as seriously under threat. However, I don't think the idea of conquering Rome would be popular in the Hague, namely out of fear on how that would affect history and the creation of Belgium itself. As a result, I think Belgium will be content to hold its new borders after the conquest of the Netherlands and Western Germany. Rome for its part would realize, and likely pretty quickly, that it is incapable of conquering Belgium, and would seek to establish friendly relations. The Roman Empire or Republic would be happy to have a "civilized" Latin people holding down their western border.

wtf lol
Your Channel has a COOL-ASS CONCEPT. It's Unusual for UA-cam, which tends to Embrace many variations of only a few basic formulas: 1). Instructional Channels (i.e. Teaching Algebra or Foreign Languages, sharing Helpful Financial or Personal Life-Improving Philosophies, or Showing Viewers how to Cook certain Recipes or Build "off-the-grid" Shelters & Tools for Survival in the Wild):| - 2). True-Life Experience Channels (i.e. First Person FOCUSED Travel Reviews, focusing on either the travel's Luxury, the travel's Food, the travel's Adventure element, or the travel's Bargain-Strategies):| - 3). Reactions to Something uncommon to the Host, but well-known to the Viewer Channels (i.e. Culture Shock reactions to how people live in other Countries, or reactions to Music or Movies, or Fish-Out-of-Water Reactions from say TRABAL PEOPLE trying McDonalds for the First Time, of Villagers reacting to a 3D Video of Midtown Manhattan):| - 4): News & Essay Channels (i.e. a trusted commentator offering daily reports on the War in Ukraine, or offering Presidential Campaign updates , or offering an intelligent perspective on breakthroughs in Technology &Space Exploration):| - 5): Shock & Awe Channels (i.e. showing the latest videos of UFOs or Ghosts, or offering up controversial videos proving that Human Civilization is 180,000 years old or videos of a living 3-headed cow, or even just videos focusing on some mind-blowing Mega-Project like building an Airport in China that's so Big you cold put 50 football stadiums & 16 skyscrapers inside of it):| - and finally 6): Feel Good Channels (i.e. videos of a mother House Cat raising 2 Orphaned Tiger Cubs who later save her from a Bear attack, or three Pet Otters who live in the bathtub getting a live Salmon to feast on for the first time, or even just 3 hours of beautiful Enya Music with peaceful images floating across the screen. - - - But Your Channel Sir, DOESN'T FIT INTO ANY OF THESE CATAGORIES: and I Like That.
