The West and East Korea map was of two different communist Koreas, one puppet to China and one to the USSR, though strangely West Korea gets both historic capitals and most of the population so the Soviets got screwed.

due to the korean peninsula's geographic distribution: the eastern side is mostly mountainous and the western side having plains, the conflict between east korea & west korea would be pretty one-sided (west korea probably having most of the population in the peninsula) probably one reason why korea was splitted north & south, and not east & west edit: this was before i continue the video and watched drew immediately commented on its population distribution & geopolitic implications

@3:40 Nah, this is the anestral land of the house of Windsor. The current English Monarchy is German. King George the III was the first Windsor king to focus on Britain over Hanover... which they later abandoned/lost to the German empire(ish). For a long while, the English monarch also held the title of the "Elector-King of Hanover".
To call the English monarchy German is odd. Some German ancestors doesn’t negate the British ones nor does it determine the nationality of the current generation. Also in what way did the king focus more on Hanover?
@@GAZAMAN93X the Celts weren’t driven out tho. The Anglo Saxons were just the new leaders, they didn’t remove the people. Either way Anglo Saxons we’re 1000 years ago. Just because they were German then doesn’t mean they are German now. Is american people just British? Same with the other anglosphere countries? If British is just German are all anglosphere countries German? As far as I’m aware they are not.
If your wondering how the thumbnail map could’ve happened, America had a third nuke ready for Tokyo in case Japan didn’t surrender. All that would be needed is for America after getting a peace deal with Japan for Truman to drop the third Nuke on Moscow and negotiate with UK, France, and Japan to carve up the USSR.
@@Tower_Swagman because of the red scares, even before the USSR, the US was DEATHLY afraid of communists and I do mean that. It isnt weird to imagine a world where the US took the initiative while the USSR didnt yet have nukes.
How can 1 single nuke make the soviets give up all of their territory also by the time that the war with the japanese ended they wouldn’t just go after the soviets inmediatly and the soviets would have developed nukes shortly after ww2 ended
that columbus map wouldnt work because columbus never expected the voyage to last even as long as it did and theres no way even if they did attempt to sail all the way across the paciflantic that anyone wouldve survived.
If it were west to east in Korea case China wouldn't be a big problem. The only reason China joined in the Korean war was because they thought the U.S.A was going to attack them. But if they had a border they would prove the would not attack them.
it been interesting to see alt history map like they go crazy with what every there trying to do like we are know that never going to happened but nonetheless it is always interesting to speculate about it
2:45 Başqortostan Jөmhyrejәte (Republic of Başqortostan), that is near to the capital city of Moscow for ≈ 1300 km, had cantons till 1940-ies just like Switzerland.
8:07 ok guys heres a theory about the map: this is a universe where the USSR and imperial japan switched teams. Basically imperial japan was in the allies, the USSR was in the axis
9:11 i think that it will be more like the operation barbaroja successed thanks to the intervention of Japan and then when Germany was losing the war Japan switch sides and help the allies
9:10 instead of Italy switching sides it's Japan because if Germany and Italy fell early they wouldn't attack pearl harbour and the us wouldn't be angry at them instead mabye the soviets attacked the same harbour then the U.S.A joined
