3:37 the Russians moving slower actually costed them the entire East Prussian Campaign, their slow and indecisive move presented an opportunity for Hindenburg to concentrate his smaller force against the 2nd army and annihilating them. it would be better if they united these armies and more coordination is placed on the campaign on the advance towards Königsberg and the Vistula River.
@@alexzero3736 ye that's what i said mate, the second and first armies were badly coordinated. as a result, the first army was moving cautiously and the second was also moving cautiously. this presented an opportunity for Hindenburg to move his troops by rail and destroy the 2nd army, defeating them in detail.
this is giving me flashbacks to when a game theory video had something like "mario can't win?????" on the thumbnail but the title said "sonic loses against mario????"
1:17 plan 17 wasn’t that bad, particularly bc it wasn’t a battle plan, it was a logistical one. Joffre’s idea was to mobilise so fast, and in conjunction with their allies, to the point where the Germans would struggle to pull a 1870 and beat the French logistically
@@cisarovnajosefina4525no, by mobilising absurdly faster and ruining French plans and almost collapsing their lines if it wasn’t for German caution and British help.
I am Argentine, I wanted to tell you that your videos are great and I love them, I watch them with subtitles and by the way, sorry if any of this is written wrong, I used a translator.
Russia winning at the battle of Tannenberg is also an interesting POD i think, basically give the Central Powers strategic defeats on all fronts, and tactical defeats on 3 of the 4, while Britain sets up a blockade, so by late 1914/early 1915 it would kinda look like Germany and A-H are screwed and maybe they panic into an early peace.
Very interesting video, I love the creativity in your "Christmas specials"! Despite not fitting with the subject of the video, I would propose an idea for a future one: "What if everything went for European Union", maybe also extending it to some decade in the future.
I’ve got a suggestion for a video: What if the Warsaw Uprising was able to push back the Germans in WWII in 1944, instead of being suppressed, allowing for the old Polish government to return to Poland instead of the Soviet backed one.
Dang first time finding a video with the wrong title before it gets changed ! (for when it gets fixed, the og title was "What if Germany Actually Won WW1 by Christmas?")
This is pretty much what happened in one of my Napoleon : Total War, The Great War mod game ! I concentrated my offensive in Alsace while letting the German offensive progress in Belgium. I figured that my second wave mobilisation army could take them at the Marne while my spearhead army was pushing so fast to cross the Rhine that the German army was pretty much out of the game super early. I then cleared up my rear a little, consolidated and pushed in two directions to effectively liberate Tyrol and capture Germany's industrial hubs in the North. Germany could not take it and all I was facing in 1915 was "ghost armies" composed of mostly cavalry, I roleplayed it in my head thinking it was some sort of Freikorp armies that refused to surrender and were roaming the big countryside of Eastern Germany. Berlin fell in december 1915, but since I refused an early peace like you presented in your video, Russia and England grew fearful and a three way war started.
I suggest Possible History accidentally said Germany and he changed it to the Entente and he wanted to do 2 scenarios of each side winning in different videos.
I disagree with Poznań not being taken. For Russia it would be a great propaganda victory: Poles were one of the more problematic minorities in empire, so taking a region literally called Greater Poland (Wielkopolska) and a region that was a birthplace of Poland (Gniezno was first polish capital) would mean a lot to Poles. I think Russia would push for that region. And since its majority polish i don't think UK would oppose that.
Possible history, can you please explore potential futures in your videos after your scenarios? Like for example with this one? How does this affect europe in the 1920s-1940s? I know you say it’s hard to predict and Therfore isn’t gonna be realistic but even if it isn’t realistic, if you explain what you think is most likely to happen even if you could be very wrong, it still makes for an entertaining scenario I am always left so annoyed with your amazing videos because I always am left wondering how this affects the future of europe, so could you please explore your scenarios further please?
13:35 Social democrats are not socialist/communist/bolshevik. Germany (at the moment) is ruled by the SPD, but that doesn’t make them a socialist country. Otherwise, great video once again!
Video suggestion: What if Russia did not backed up Serbia and decided to focus on it's economic and social struggles? Resulting in WW1 not happening or temporarily being prevented.
Posen or Upper Silesia, or both, would be taken from Germany. Britain would actually prefer that to Galicia being taken from Austria tbh. Also Russia (if I recall right) primarily wanted the eastern half of Galicia rather than the whole, due to the unruly Poles they’d be adding, who already have their own local gov. I also am very skeptical of a Habsburg collapse w/o the 4 years of total war.
Day 3 of asking for an Antarctica scenario, e.g: "What if Antarctica was already populated when discovered (and what if they were / were not disease resistant)
an interesting - *though probably very unlikely* - scenario! I like that there is less destruction, and also _eliminates_ even the possibility of the myth about being "back-stabbed" to ever surface. Hopefully though, in this scenario I'd like to think that germany and other autocratic countries would democratise
One thing i think you maybe should have discussed is Ireland, because it was on the verge of civil war before WWI and the two sides agreed to delay the national question until after the war (which they expected to be short), so if the war was short they would then go back to a major crisis which would possibly tie down the British for a couple years, and explose them to interference from other powers.
