That's a pretty good idea

Poland: Get’s invaded by the Nazis and get wiped out. Russia: Get’s wiped out by the Nazis and Japanese. USA: never exists.

thats a good idea👍

What if everything went wrong for the United States of fucking America

Literally me

Also, their empires ended together, in ww1

@@gustavotreze3193 technically the Habsburg were already exinct by then, and their states and titles were inherited by the House of Lorraine.

@@barrankobama4840 yes, i know, but the house of Lorraine (or Habsburg-Lorraine) is a branch of the house of habsburg, so for me is a continuation. For me

@@gustavotreze3193 But strictly technically Habsburg-Lorraine is a branch (and the only now surviving) of the House of Lorraine, not the House of Habsburg, since they descend from Francis of Lorraine and Maria Theresa of Habsburg. For Salic law, used by nobility in the HRE, the House is defined by male-line only. Another curiosity is that the current King of the UK, Charles III, would be technically be part of the House of Oldenburg, not Saxe-Coburg-Gotha nor Mountbatten/Battenberg (but this does not matter anymore, since George the V renounced any title of German origin).

This would be an interesting althistory scenerio, What if the Hohenzollern and Habsburgs united?

I guess you could say it’s possible history

​@@user-zn2gb4uh1hthey did have it in the new world colonies, and it actually was way more complex than what is presented, with all the different "casts"

Not to mention Mary I of England still officially claimed the French throne.

This wont decide feudalism problem. If current king dies, would the French nobles give the crown to next Habsburg?

That was the tax for private mines, the most productive mines were exclusive for the crown (see Potosí), moreover there were much more taxes than just those applied to mining. Si nuestros virreinatos tuviesen el mismo estatus que la España peninsular, no habría una diferencia entre criollos y peninsulares.

Based

​@@mojave3571So, you're saying that everything extracted from the Potosí mines was transported to Peninsular Spain? Can you show a source for that? Because I didn't find any. Also, the status of the different subdivisions has little to do with political privileges in the empire. Blacks in southern USA were still slaves despite Texas being as much of a state as New Jersey.

Really?

Be honest, no you aren’t.

Incest is wincest

You can’t have one without the other

Can’t hate what you haven’t tried bro

Its what they were

Interesting. Why couldn't an indigenous individual be tried by the inquisition? Did it have to do with the fact that the inquisition was mainly run by Dominicans while the natives were evangelized primarily by the (highly autonomous, answering only to the superior general and the Pope) Jesuits?

@@-Justinus- The inquisition was created to deal primarily with heresies such as Protestantism and false converts. The indigenous peoples were classified as pagans who must be evangelized and taught about the teachings of Jesus, so the inquisition had no jurisdiction over them, much more so when indigenous beliefs were not a threat to the beliefs of Catholicism. For example, there was a fear that Protestantism would expand in Spain, but there was no such fear with indigenous religions because it was impossible for them to expand their religion among the Christian population of Europe.

FR I was about to say this, cant believe what the Dutch did to the reputation of a great empire.

Whenever I think of it, I come to the conclusion that... there would be no Commonwealth. It came out of a personal union with Lithuania, and that from having a Lithuanian grand duke marry the then ruling queen (formally king) of Poland, which was the indirect result of Casimir the Great having no legitimate heirs. That's the primordial root of the Commonwealth and... the issues that were its ultimate downfall, that being the near omnipotence of the nobility and the unstable political system prone to outside influence. See, to be crowned as rulers of Poland all the kings (and queens) after Casimir the Great had to convince the nobility - as they were no longer of the original Piast dynasty (I feel like this was just an excuse for the nobility to push for power) - and that convincing usually came down to giving more and more privileges, to the point at which the king was just a little bit more than a figurehead and the parliament could be paralysed by just ONE random noble.

russia and germany would be gone

I think best thing Comonwealth could do was even earlier democratization, so Comonwelth would be first nation with Constitution, as early as first half of XVIII century that asort Monarchist Comonwelth tradition in futher democratic states, like freedom of religion, culture acceptance and voting system created for nobles titled, that could be every rich person. Farmers under Nobility should be realeased from slavery work, Citizen would grow in importance. This fiew changes would create better Poland than between world wars already, but that's not enought. Poland was very poor diplomatically and military, so main goals would be funding military based on constitution not feudalism and stick with Alliance with Habsburg Austria that share many enemies with. This is important to prevent partition of Poland in XVIII century, allowing Comonwealth to step into Industralization Wit other west European powers in futher. And most important period. Semi democratic-Semi Monarchist Comonwealth would had great chances siding with French in Napoleonic wars, but only after Austria surendered and allied France, then Poland would keep up in Team with Austria without standing aside France. Next Poland would be more than eager to help France in Russian campaign on Moskva and Petersburg efectively giving win to French Empire. I don't know what would happen next but Poland would be strong member of new huge European Alliance with repeared most of they're issues, promising futher within industralization age and building base for democratic state that would probably acure in 1848/9.

Bro stop forgeting Lithuanna

Also what if Henry the 8 wasn’t able to divorce Catherine, meaning the England would remain Catholic.

Her brother was Phillip the Handsome. That was her nephew you're talking about.

Yo creo que la pirámide más bien representa la posibilidad de obtener poder político, pero si no es eso, la pirámide se convierte en básicamente una mentira historia :/

​@Ajolote_comunista I think this is accurate, because I've been taught this as well since the colonial period is an important part of our history. The pyramid clearly points to something being true, especially since one of the broader contexts of that pyramid being that the Spanish born got to rule, but no mention of social mobility or economic outcomes really were discussed.

@@buddermonger2000 you are not wrong that the pyramid points to something true. The vice kings of the spanish colonies were appointed by the king of Spain, and they were people from noble peninsular families close to the crown. Even thought the different etnicities in the spanish americas weren't economically equal, there are cases of mestizos, natives and some blacks becoming richer than a lot of whites, the pyramid could probably be an average of those etnicities, but never a segregation by law.

@@goosermr6036 Perhaps segregation by political power, even if not economic power

The pyramid is a weird mix of social class and caste that existed in the Americas, for example there were native and black landlords, nobles and in the urban middle classes you could find people of all different castes. As castes were not considered a way to classify people in the social pyramid but as a way of racial categorization. Another point to make is that the distinction between the peninsulares and criollos didnt became a thing till the Bourbons reforms.

*PH

🧐👍

I want to point out that normally viceroys were white because they were people the king trusted, and the king was not in America, so the people he trusted were not from there because he did not personally know the people of america

just mandate every habsburg have 12+ children, can't have sucession disputes if there is a clear line of succession.

This is kind of that

​@@tsaralexis9459kind of, but not really that though, that would be a continuation of this, since it is, never declined, and specifically Spain.

Not really possible, they didn’t have the population or industrial capacity to compete with the French, British, and Germans.

Yeah I think he should have shown multiple timelines, showing how different marriages and wars could lead to completely separate outcomes.

Yes

technically speaking that is what an old fashioned colonial empire is (and what the English colonies were orginally too). colonies not being extensions of the home country in a new location is a newer form of colonialism.

Yeah I completely agree, English speaking history videos should give more research to Hispanic historians

@@matthiuskoenig3378well more even technically speaking these first “colonial empire” wasn’t really a colonial empire so the future ways of colonialism that the Uk, the Dutch, the French and Germans brought, for today are old-fashion, so that’s what I think he is referring.

@@matthiuskoenig3378also the first English colonies weren’t nothing like the Spanish/Castilian ones, because they were mostly just companies that extracted resources.

@@matthiuskoenig3378 Yeah but that really isn't considered colonialism, it's more like integration/expansion

🤔

The perfect timeline

What does it mean “native americans”? You’re saying it as if there weren’t thousands of diferent peoples with different cultures and many times fighting between each other. The only way they were united under a single throne was via spanish goverment.

@@arriba_teruel No, i know that. I meant for all the larger native american nations to do as well as they could have, maybe having a few of them even survive to the modern day
