Scenario idea: What if the Danelaw survived?
Wait, it ended? When?
thats a good idea
Great idea
Who is Danelaw?
A certain part of England would still obey Danish laws. That’s all that would change.
Might be fun to do something like if Liberia was given more attention by America
Yeah that would be pretty intriguing maybe the USA fully takes part in it instead of Liberia being controlled by the American colonial society essentially becoming the first true colony in Africa this might lead either more American colonialism or something else because a large part of the reason the USA didn’t want to colonize and add territories like that much is because of the hypocrisy around it if Liberia were to become independent in this timeline I would suppose it would likely become a second USA the United States of Africa
Yeah what if the USA helped Liberia to become the USA
@@derspieler4793 Urf, would they have a name change? There'd be two USAs: United States of Africa and United States of America

Actually, Japan and Ethiopia were in talks of a royal marriage and alliance in the 1930s. The Entente said they would sanction both nations if they did that so they didn't. That could easily apply in this scenario though.
I didn't know that 😂
If it happened, that would have been epic
Royal marriage as in a union? The 2 states become one?
@@adenm8963no, I assume to create ties and secure a potential alliance. A personal union only occurs when the rulers of two countries marry, not any of their relatives.
@@adenm8963if a what if comes out about this i would absolutely love for them to make it so the child of the royal marriage inherits both empires
"Would Mussolini be stupid enough to invade a strong Ethiopia after Italy's last defeat?"
Yes, yes he would. This is the guy who starts wars he has no business fighting in, and then starting new wars to distract people from how badly he's losing the previous war.

Italy moment
@@gayanudugampola8973I’m not Italian but I am not stupid enough to believe what the initial comment said
I don't understand why no one makes the comparison between Iran and Ethiopia. Both never colonised except for quick invasions by the British and Italians, both very mountainous, similar populations (Iran would of had more then Ethiopia if it were not for their population restriction laws), both the leaders of their own subgroup of religion, both leaders of their own genetic family (Iran of iranic countries and Ethiopia of Cushitic countries), and both have very diverse ethnic groups in their countries.
We love you from Ethiopia 🇪🇹
Iranians have a good grip on education lots of engineers, doctors.
Ethiopia isn’t fully Cushitic. Only the Oromo, Somali and Afar populations have Cushitic Roots. The Amharic, Tigre populations have Semitic roots.
Both changed their names- Abyssinia and Persia/ Iran and Ethiopia!
@@JustAnotherAbdiAmhara are Cushitic they just adopted Semitic languages… the genes are the same
Note: "Once more, after much discussion, we told the delegation from the British Anti-Slavery Society that, in 1923 , at the latest, all slaves would be freed and slavery would be completely abolished in Ethiopia. This information was given to them both orally and in writing. However, there will always be some criminals in any nation. If any men are discovered breaking the declared laws, foreign envoys are informed that We have taken extreme measures to punish them, including the death penalty. Thus, since We have done everything within Our power to free the slaves, Our conscience does not condemn Us."
I guess they could also use slaves to industrialize like what some in the confederacy imagined.
@@necromater6656 Ethiopian slavery was not exactly like the South. The system would probably collapse with industrialisation. Though it could be useful like Russian serfdom for centralising power and wealth. Which while probably good for the Ethiopian elites, would suck for the long term prosperity of the country.
US 13th Amendment has the same stipulations. No slavery except for prisoners
@@duckling3615it was similar to the south what are you taking about? It was color based / the mixed looking Ethiopians 3nslaved the bl@ck ones.
@@necromater6656You just contradicted yourself
I actually think the key to this scenario lies in that "flavorless" period. The reason Japan's modernization was so successful was due to the developments of the Edo period. The stability and peace brought a bunch of population growth and importantly, huge economic developments. Before Commodore Perry was even born innovative financial techniques were developing in Japan with a rapidly commercializing economy. Many of the Zaibatsu that were key figures of Japanese industrialization got their start here. Furthermore, literacy became even more widespread than it had been in the past. For Ethiopia to have a Japan situation, it would need similar developments in the period before the 1800s imo
Exactly. If I recall, late Edo Period Japan had around 75% of males were literate, which is astonishing given the medieval technology. This was only possible because of the 200+ years of peace.
@@user-qe5by9dz6o they were not a medieval society they were a renaissance one. the europeans had given them european style printing presses before the the Edo period. and they had chinese style printing presses since the 700s AD. resulting in domestic hybrid styles during the edo period. considering they had over 1000 years of printing tech, and hundreds of years of knowledge of western printers, Edo period Japan can hardly be called medieval.
Never thought of Ethiopia much recently,but now that you mentioned this idea I realized how much i was underestimating Ethiopia.
Ethiopia is really cool. Currently racked by minor ethnic tensions which are settling with good leadership, went communist during the cold War (becoming the poster child for African famine), but also a unified state for millenia with one of the oldest branches of Christianity and a population of over 100 million I think actually ahead of Egypt, and industrializing rapidly.
@@buddermonger2000 Are you trying to imply that Ethiopia now has good leadership, funny.
@MichaelScott-my8uh They ended the war and are reintegrating Tigray. I have no other context, but even then that's better than 90% of Africa
@@buddermonger2000better than most places… despite having a diverse large group of people… they still manage to stay together.
Ethiopia, Morocco and possibly Algeria I think have the best future ahead of them.
Oh, Botswana is great too but it’s much smaller.
I don't think Algeria have better future, at least in the near future
Their economy heavily tie to oil and gas , even worse there are no sustainable growth and the government really corrupt
Egypt can be great but the corrupt government is ruining everything
The other east Africans, Ghana and Egypt got some great future too
Algeria is in a good strategic position but for the most part their future looks relatively bleak

I remember a video like this was made by whatifalthist years ago (back whenever he actually made alternate history and not political garbage). I’m glad Ethiopia getting some more alternate made for it. It’ll bring more light to African history.
He Has Fallen on Hard Time
Political garbage? And you guys claim to avoid bias.
Too bad he became obsessed with the right
@@lbgamer6166 Anyone with their eyes open can see the man has getting pretty deep into right and far right politics. Also who are u even talking to abt bias? You don't know any of the ppl in the comment section, why would u assume they are unbiased?? Lol
Bias is ok when you're upfront abt it, if you just present your obvious biases as 'common sense' people are not going to listen even if they agree. Most of history tube leans right so it's quite telling that whatifalthist was mockrd as much as he was.

Love your videos man! Suggestion: What if everything went perfectly For Napoleón III. Loved your napoleon I video! Wondering what this scenario would be like for his nephew
Since Ethiopia is located close to the equator, and theres a vast ocean just east of their border, I'd imagine this timeline's Ethiopia would have a very easy time establishing a space program.
Even if they don't have the population to develop manned missions themselves, I can still imagine other countries renting out their space centers for their own missions.
if israel and canada can they can
Space geography is overrated. Russia has it almost as bad as you can get and yet they were still the first to get a decent program going.
@@korakys yes, but even the Soviets built most if not all of their space ports in their more southern regions. What is modern day Khazakstan.
So while having the right geography is not a requirement, it still has major advantages that cannot simply be ignored.
@@avandorhu-3389it's still overrated. Normally countries also promote space economy to invest in poorer regions to assert sovereignty, like the Soviet Union or France

Keep in mind that Japan was an island chain, and it was more like Britain as in it is nearly impossible to invade directly.
That actually gives me an idea for a scenario where Japan and the UK are swapped in the past.
For Japan is easier since you just need to make a more open minded daimyo to win the Sengoku. UK tho ia hard since you need to disentangle the British from European affairs, most likely the turning point is successful Spanish Armada but a phyric British victory in subsequent land invasion so the English choose to be an isolationist state.
@@MrGilang100not that easy for Japan since they don’t have the natural resources to industrialize fully by themselves and to conquer the lands needed for those resources they would have to beat a China without the advantages they had irl(maybe Imjin Wars).
@@theyluvkg7078Japan's lack of resources in the 1930s was a post-industrial problem. Industrialization was possible, and Japan was self-sufficient in the coal and iron it needed.
But to get through the Great Depression, they needed China's markets and resources.
Ethiopia is a very naturally defensible country too tbh
I see what you mean, but being mountainous doesn't beat being an island chain.
I’d actually really like to see a “what if everything went perfect for Egypt”, seeing as you mentioned them here

I sugest making a byzantine or modern greek scenario. There were so many dicisive battles that could have been won by the eastern romans or the greeks, that, an alternate history of greek history would be quite interesting! Please consider this!
I wouldn't put it past Mussolini to still invade this Ethiopia anyway. The guy wants a vanity project and a chance to prove the inherent superiority of fascism by avenging Italy's embarrassing old loss. The chip on Italy's shoulder combined with the continuing European superiority complex over Africans means I still think a second Italo-Ethiopian war happens, with Italy losing again as the video mentions.
So then, what would happen afterwards? Would Mussolini's reign or even the entire Italian fascist system itself even survive the backlash of this second humiliation, and what impact if any could this conflict's result have on the remaining interwar period and WW2? I have to be honest, this is a direction I hoped the video would have gone down when I began watching.
Please do more scenarios like this with different countries.
I love this type of videos.
Wasnt expecting a good intentioned video on Ethiopia but it seems someone did their research. I'm not Ethiopian myself but I love its history so thank you for this treat!
I'd argue a ww1 central powers modernised ethiopia could actually turn the tide here. Ww1 was largely a numbers game, and the british african colonies were not that militarised at all. I could imagine some ethiopian campaign up the nile to threaten egypt itself. It probably would push a bit, then get bogged down in sudan. Eating up more british troops in the process.
but more importantly, if they take djibouti and somali land, they could cut the red sea. Which would put a lot of pressure on the british. Ww1 was close enough that these changes alone could turn it towards a central powers win.
If Ethiopia's presence could make the central powers win, they'd also probably make joining the allies a steamroll.
@@sino_diogenes theyd put a bit more pressure on the ottomans, but they would still be a minor power and they wouldnt add much. The central powers already had the red sea cut by britain. Central powers Ethiopias main strength would be cutting it for the entente. Entente ethiopia would be just another few divisions for the entente.
You're forgetting the dervishes already fighting for central powers and against Ethiopia this would lead to a weird situation in which the Ethiopians try to help the Somalis against Europeans which would never be accepted in Ethiopia (in our timeline they literally overthrow a guy for being to nice to them) if they fought against them it would only cause a much more widespread revolt from the Somalis a war which might take a lot Ethiopia's energy and may even make an independent Somalia possible in the late 1910s.
Taking Djibouti/Somaliland would not mean cutting Red Sea access - they don't have the naval power to enforce the blockade, Ethiopia would simply control the shore without being able to do much given the Entente's naval supremacy in this space
For all the other reasons said, Ethiopia joining the Central Powers wouldn't change much.
Not only was Germany already encouraging the Dervish to gain independence and fight the Ethiopians and the Italians, but they NEED British materials in order to fund their industry. Ethiopia simply doesn't have those resources to fuel their industry. Ditching their only real trade partner for them is basically death. Germany couldn't supply Ethiopia as the French, British, and Italian navies in the region would simply destroy whatever small fleet the Ethiopians (Likely bought ships off the British, Italian ships that were captured in the earlier war and a couple Ethiopian built gunboats.) had and use the Aden Protectorate as a port instead.
The Ethiopian economy would likely collapse, and they'd quickly be defeated from there.
Thanks for making a great video about my country
Amazing video, please keep up these types
Please do one for Thailand/Siam, I wanna hear how you think would happen. Great video as always.
I wish you could do the same thing for Iran/Persia, it’s such an underrated country with so much great history.
And don’t get me wrong I’m with Iranians getting their freedom just dislike the pretentious Persians who think drinking alcohol and hating on Arabs makes them western and civilized. It’s so cringe.
I do empathize with Iranians because in Morocco my home country so many Imams are trying to fool people to go for an Islamic government because that’s the only way for Muslims to be developed again blah blah… thankfully less and less people now buy into that with the internet and looking at Afghanistan experience for example, #### in Iraq and Syria before, etc. Even Saudi Arabia is leaving that behind now thankfully.

I'm not entirely sure if this is true, just looking at the map it seems like they could have invaded the ottoman territories in Arabia. The ottomans at this point were not industrialized, and Britain or Russia may have aided Ethiopia if they tried to attack them. Im not sure if they would actually want to do this, but it seems like it would be possible.
Britain would probably not support it, a weakend ottoman empire would mean a stronger russian empire, and it would be hard for the ethiopians to rule the new territory due to ethnic, cultural and religious differences
But taking Hedjaz would trigger a renewed Jihad against Ethiopia, the Muslim would take up arms that the Europeans bring and make groups and campaign to attract volunteers, and in this situation, where the "protector" of Islam is attacked and the cities of Mecca and Medina are taken, it would very likely gain a lot
I mean even in our own timeline, the Ottomans and the neighbouring Somali Adal Sultanate fought with Ethiopia precisely to avoid this possibility of Christian domination in the region. Because, historically the Ethiopians invaded Mecca before the birth of the Prophet in the 500s. @@uruguaylusitano5797
This was great! Maybe next do Brazil overcoming all their problems to become a superpower. Geography hurts, but I think they could be a superpower given the right circumstances.

Honestly, if we wanted Ethiopia to modernize, it would’ve been best to start with Aksum. That was the one time they completely dominated trade on the Red Sea, was allied w/ Rome, had influence over the Arabian Peninsula, & was even considered a superpower.
It would be better to start with Aksum winning the Persian-Aksumite War instead of losing. Then, they’d likely still have territory in the Middle East, influence in the Red Sea, &, most importantly, wouldn’t be landlocked anymore. Then, go from there. I think that would improve their chances BY ALOT!!!!! By starting from the very very beginning. Changing things there… in the nation that shaped Ethiopia’s entire identity. That would improve Ethiopia’s potential the most
Axum isn’t the same as modern ethiopia
This is just "what if everything went perfect for Ethiopia".
Edit: why do 50% of the time if their post blow up they always say "mom im famous" Just mom not dad or uncel? (The other is thank you so much for ___ likes)
It’s close but it’s not really ideal enough to be an “everything went perfect” video, especially since this has just been buffing Ethiopia rather than nerfing the other nations the way that series does

@@thelittleredhairedgirlfrom6527 for some magical reason in this scenario both Somalis and Oromos who have historically never liked to be under Ethiopian domination nor has Eritrea they fought a 30 years war because of it. Most likely something like this would have a much larger and devastating civil war and would only make the tribal ethnic groups more solid.

I think if Ethiopia showed prosperity, the other African nations would follow their model, in the same way as happened to Japan in Asia, a stronger Ethiopia would probably led them to be a important US ally in the region, probably in more recent years Ethiopia would wage a anti Islamic campaign alongside Israel, intervening in some Sahel nations and specially Yemen. If we speculate more I would predict Ethiopia with a standard of living similar to Chile and much more global influence, but couldn't imagine those effects in the most important prospect, the rastafari and reggae.

definitely think Nigeria could do this, maybe botswana and rwanda would talk a lot more time though
Nigeria certainly has the population base for something like this, while Botswana has remarkably stable democratic institutions for an African nation. Rwanda though? Isn't that just the place where the embittered rump successors of the British Empire want to indiscriminately deport its "undesirables" to?
That was very interesting to see, it's not often that we see about african history. I hope we'll see more of it.

In this scenario, it's possible that Ethiopia conquered the Horn of Africa in WWII.
1) Ethiopia win the Second Italo-Ethiopian war and conquers Eritrea and Somalia. About the question "would Mussolini be stupid enough..." Yes, he was, ask to the Greeks. XD
2) When France become Vichy, Ethiopia could conquer Djibouti with the justification to prevent a axis-collaborationist colony. Allied thumbs up.
3) Ethiopia would be an important ally in Africa, specially in terms of supplies to North African front. If the Suez canal had fallen, UK would have been in danger. With that in mind, it isn't so crazy UK sold British Somaliland to keep Ethiopia in the war, is similar to Churchill's offer to give Northern Ireland in return of Ireland entered in the war.
After decolonization, Ethiopia could leader Eastern African Union, it's its natural sphere of influence. I think the depth of this union depends of the experience of Ethiopia with integrate the Horn of Africa.

What if the Indo-Europeans and Uralic peoples never existed? What if a Hmongic civilization existed in history? What if Anatolia was a Rainforest? What if the Iranian Plateau was a Rainforest and the USA was a huge desert like Australia? What if a Royal marriage occured between the Ethiopian Empire and Japan?
I disagree that it is really unlikely for Italy to join the Allies. There were many in both French and British governments which admired the Italian fascist system, including Churchill and others. Without the Ethiopian war to break them apart, the Stresa Front may have come to full fruition, and perhaps even started ww2 over Austria, or Austria may even never be taken by Germany.
All of that relies upon Mussolini not invading this Ethiopia, which I disagree with. He really still would. And therein lies why it's unlikely Italy joins the Allies: Because they've sunk any avenue of co-operation with the west just like in our timeline.
This scenario is really interesting! What about if everything went perfect for Morocco?
