Prussia had a 1/100,000,000 of coming back from that, and they did because of Peter the Third

what if my classmate decides to become a mafia boss and then a president

Never pin your hopes on Austria unless you're placing bets on the Winter Olympics

Like this is literally the most easy timeline to be realistic, as it literally hinges on the empress of Russia dying just a little later

Chileans around the world cried out in pain as this was uploaded

If prussia loses its possible frederick dies in the struggle, aftermath, or commits suicide (considering he was going to multiple times earlier), so its hard to imagine prussia doing much to ally with russia after.

The first part is correct, but the next part is not. After defeating Prussia and granting East Prussia to Poland in exchange for lands in the east, Poland would be a buffer state between Austria and Russia, which would satisfy not only both powers, but also the Polish nobility. Prussia, not Russia pressed on partition. Austria was reluctant.

If Austria broke it's promise of giving Belgium to france, I don't see France helping the Austrian against Russia, instead, France helping Russia is more probable

Austria actually opposed the Partition of Poland because they didn't like the idea of a Catholic nation being divided between a Protestant and Orthodox power, and they only took part in it because they didn't want Prussia and Russia to take all of the Commonwealth. So in a scenario where Prussia isn't a factor I can't see them standing for Russia annexing the bulk of the Commonwealth directly even if they got some land in compensation, and it's possible they'd even go to war to prevent it if they were just up against Russia. So a weakened but independent Polish state would most likely exist in some form.

Out of all the timelines you ever created, this one ranks probably the highest when it comes to me not wanting to live in that scenario. Imagine the chaos after the Austrian collapse, which can only benefit the British, Russian and French. Truly a horror to behold

France:DAMN YOU HUNGARY!!! Russia:did I hear something about Hungary?

What if Prussia lost the Seven Years’ War (But Norway Won)? (Please do a what if everything went perfect for Norway scenario)

What If the Chinese Civil War ended in a stalemate with China 🇨🇳 being divided like Korea

What if drake won the beef with kendrick

Thank you for this videos! Good work!

I imagine in an alternate universe youtubers are making alt hist videos about what if Prussia won the 7 years war, which seems so unbelievably unlikely and far fetched in that universe.

Why do you keep calling them prussia. They arent prussia without east prussia. Instead they are the electorate of brandenburg or margravate of brandenburg.

Poland would definitely not be partitioned. Austria would give away Belgium in exchange for Bavaria. Prussia would attempt a revival in the Napoleonic Era. Treaty of Vienna would be completely different if there ever was one.

Video idea: What if the Hussites (the radical ones/Taborites) won the hussite war?

Hey, Possible History, I just want to say that your channel is pretty cool and I enjoy all of your videos.

When does the alternate Austria-Hungary breakup viewer video come out?

Great video! Here’s another video idea: What if the Dutch won the Second Anglo-Dutch war?

That big Germany at the end looked super OP... Wouldn't be surprised the world would be either dominated by it or it would be torn to shreds

YES! Been waiting for this since you said it! Long live Austria

Austria getting Coal deposites of Silesia AND Prussia losing Coal deposites of the Ruhr as well pretty much solves the Iron balance of the Bismarcks Blood and Iron. Meanwhile balance of Power in the continent is pretty much British plus Austria versus French and Russia. Or maybe EVERYONE against Russia, much like in the Crimea War, creating a very early NATO-like idea :P Anyway this all crumbles to pieces like in our timeline when centrifugal nationalism eventually blows up both Russia and Austria somewhere after 1900.

Great video! I'd be really interested to see a what if Alexander the second didn't get assasnated and continued reforming Russia.

Now do “What if Britain lost the Seven Years’ Wa (But Prussia Won)?”

So I have an interesting idea for a video, what if the USSR was a multi-party state? Not a western-style democracy, but a government with multiple types of communist parties, like how the US has multiple types of Capitalist parties

At last somebody took time to view into one of the Europes' biggest historical cross road. Death of Elizabeth and Peter III actions changed Eastern Europe in big time and had very long lasting effects.

What if the Ottoman empire collapse in the Oriental Crisis?

why isn't prussia renamed to brandenburg

Suggestion: "What If Martians Invaded Earth In 1898"

The smooth jazz is actually quite nice.

In the end, Austria had a 3rd option: as they weren't averse to creating other kingdoms lead by Habsburgs, Achiduke John of Austria could have been crowned Emperor of Germany, while the line of Leopold II kept ruling Austria.

What if the Mali empire had discovered america first and started colonisation long before the europeans started to get interested ? What if polynesians became a commercial link between Asia and South America ? What if King Philip's war stunted New England colonisation ? What if Louis the XIVth could fly? I loved that concept of super powered historical characters. Or what if a historical character was reincarnated after their death in their younger self ? They learn from their mistake but they don't necessarily have our perspective.

i would like you to do a what if everything went perfect for spain

Video ideas: what if everything went perfect for Prussia, What if everything went perfect for Canada, and What if everything went perfect for Ukraine.

I really like youre videos but my only concern is that sometimes you "underestimate" a country, like austria hungary, wich in 1914 had the fastest economic growth in Europe. I dont have a history degreee but I just feel that sometime you take into account population and stereotypes instead of actual datas. In youre videis we often see russia being the biggest ling term threat to european equilibreum but therr is only a mention of population. At the same time india and china were the most populated countries on earth and were either colonies or failed states. Anyway I really enjiy watching youre videos and youre maps are very good looking

Hey man, love your content and all, but what's up with thebackground music as of lately? Don't know if it's just me, but I think it doesn't fit and can sometimes even be a little annoying/distracting. Still great videos keep it up👍🏻

Video Idea: What if Everything goes perfect for the Empire of Japan

No one: Literally no one: Austria: Hmm yes let’s move Bavaria to Belgium what could possibly go wrong?

bro forgot to censor the revolution picture this time

Scenario Idea: What if Serbia/Yugoslavia won the Yugoslav wars?

Please do a what if the maratha's defeated the durrani and the mughals way earlier or a timeline where the maratha's defeated the british, this would be more interesting as you havent really made a video on india since the "what if everything went perfect for india"

5:06 He wasn't called Stanislaus II, just Stanislaus August

I kind of had some similar ideas for a timeline exploring the consequences of various divergences during the 7 Years War (George Washington being killed in battle, Britain securing control over the Philippines, Prussia getting crushed, the Indian theatre ending in a more even stalemate, etc.). One thing I was thinking of exploring was the potential for a full marriage alliance between Catherine and Stanislaus laying the foundations for a union of the Polish-Lithuanian and Russian crowns further down the line (basically Paul still succeeds Catherine but is later deposed in a Decembrist style Liberal coup that offers the Russian Crown to the child of Catherine and Stanislaus, who had since been elected King in Poland-Lithuania, with the understanding that the Liberal dominated Duma would have full control over Russian internal affairs).

I know it's not really related to the video, but could you make a video about what if everything went right for Morocco? I've heard it had very good potential for becoming a great power, but multiple factors came into its downfall

We need a continuation

I want a part 2

I LOVE POSSIBLE HISTORY

Please Make "What if the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantine Empire) Survived?". I need answers.

14:22 It's Lombardy-Venetia not Venice

I miss the classical music your old videos had!

what if australia was discovered before america

What if the western Roman Empire survived in Italy? Perhaps this could happen if Rome doesn’t get sacked twice, with more stable leadership. Perhaps the huns never rise, as Attila dies young, and the germanic migrations don’t need to happen that fast. Perhaps Caesar returns from the dead and takes over europe and colonises Australia, who knows.

Nice

In 1763, france would no longer get the Austrian Netherlands. The French renounced it in 1757 after the defeat in Rossbach

What if Kaiser Frederick III survived

Random video idea: What if the Qing modernised in the 19th century? I feel like they would align with Britain and Russia, preventing the rise of Japan and remaining intact (although most likely as a constitutional monarchy with the KMT largely in control).

It's still possible that Peter III succeeds Tsarine Elizabeth in 1763, the is deposed by his wife for giving Prussia back to Prussia.

Italian and German unifications were not necessarily inevitable, especially if an alliance between Austria and France prevented it, or usurped the nationalistic momentum to serve the interests and powers of both France and Austria.

Majestic

do a what if history went perfect for the axis powers like u did with the central powers and not just untill they win ww2 but a little after that aswell for obvious reasons to see what a post war world might look like with axis rule in eurasia and africa

how do i join the discord

So Firstly I like the Video but one tiny little nitpicky thing Prussia as it was bye the time of the 7 Years war wasnt actually Prussia the monarchs just called themselfs King IN Prussia but the State was like a Personel union between Prussia and brandenburg so as soon as they lost Prussia they wont be called Prussia anymore. Anyways still great Video and I pretty much agree with all of it.

Yay a part 2 Also 🥈

wish I saw this in ap euro before the exam

Last time I was this early the lowlands were still recovering from the great flood of the early XVII century.

Suggestion: what if everything went perfect for Romania/ What if Romania and Bulgaria united before ww1 (5th time, I think)

I just had a crazy What if Idea... What if Napoleon allied with the British... It's crazy I know, but if instead of a marriage alliance with Austria, it was instead with Britan...

Maybe the music be a bit quieter

What if everything went perfect for Norway? Day 1.

Not sure I agree with your trajectory for Poland here as without Prussia, Poland becomes too important of a buffer state to maintain the balance between Austria and Russia. Thus I could see Poland re-exerting its independence by essentially entering into a 3 way defensive pact/alliance with Austria and Russia. Feels more like you went with Poland somehow still getting partitioned, due to how much that could change the Napoleonic Era. As crazy as this sounds I could see Austria ceding part of Silesia to Poland (basically so with encouraged migration you could split the german and polish population) and letting them expand a strip to the Black Sea, in exchange for Poland backing Austria taking control of the Balkans then the 3 Eastern Powers work together to turn Greece and Anatolia into a New Byzantium, basically serving as the same function as Poland in the north, being a state that splits the Austrian world from the Russian world.

Video idea: What if everything goes perfect for the Swedish Empire

So…stalemate? 🤝

Video 5 of asking Possible History for a video about "If Valery Sablin was succesful"

What if Marie Terezie lost war of Austrian sucesion ( Karl Albrecht of Bavaria take Bohemian crone please incorporate this to scenario he was in real life proclaim and crone king during the Austrian sucesion war )

And that my friends is why you always go for centralization aka "revoke the privilegia" instead of that stupid decentralized HRE.

Your videos make me want to play more EU4

2:20 I'm assuming you meant to say "the _colonial_ war" there?

Please do what if the Yom Kippur war never happened

3:19 didn’t show all of HRE and not the Germanic, but the German states.

What if everything went perfectly for Bavaria

Lore of What if Prussia lost the Seven Years' War (But Britain Won)? Momentum 100

What if the United Kingdom of Portugal and Brazil is maintained?

Suggestion: what if the Allies won ww2 (operation unthinkable happened)

What if History went perfect for Eastern Rome?

I think it's highly possible that Napoleon and Russia just divide the continent amongst themselves, as Austria wouldn't really be that much stronger and would be opposed to Russia, while Prussia is more likely to join Napoleon in hopes of regaining their lost lands.

Good video, thanks. one point: I dont think Prussia would take the loss and never recover. Frederick II. was still way to active after the war in the OTL. If he doesnt commit suicide, abdicates or dies in a last-stand-battle somewhere, which i grant is a possibility, i believe he would try to bounce back as fast and hard as possible. So i have to disagree with the general sidelining of prussia in this scenario. Sure they are diminished but they still would try to make their voice known. Especially in regards to prussian heartlands in Poland. Since a Russo-Prussian alliance is already mentioned: Peter III definetly has the power and time to just let Prussia get territory from Poland. TLDR i disagree with the general inacitvity of prussia in this ATL. (Reasons: Fredericks Personality (if he lives) and Peter III. (has the time and prussia-fanboy-antics even after the 7-years-war)) i do realize however how the scenario hinges on the inactivity or sidelining of Prussia.

11:09 are we gonna question the photo here or no?💀💀💀

at 8:09 it makes no sense that france help austria since austria broke the austrian netherland treaty, if france do anything, they declare war on austria to take austrian netherland

If the territory of Prussia such as Danzig and Königsberg were to be annexed by Russia after the 7 years war it would only accelerate the collapse of the Russian Empire, adding even more ethnic groups to the Russian empire that don’t want to be part of Russia. There were already the Lithuanians, Latvians, Finns, Estonians, Poles, Kazakhs, Turkic peoples, add to that the Germans in Königsberg and I forgot to mentions the Moldovans/Romanians of Bessarabia and you get an explosive mix

So sad to see Prussia like that…

Make a “what if history went perfect for the ottomans

16:50 is it not possible that Austria/german federation swaps galacia for Prussia?

Can you do a what if prussia won the 7 years war? I know it's extremely unlikely but still. And not a white peace but instead prussia gets at least a little something

What if the sepoy mutiny succeded

What if France won the seven years war but Austria lost?

What if Sweden won the Great Northern War, or alternatively, made a considerably mild peace with Russia during the first phase of the war, only ceding St.Petersburg?

Literally most based ending
