Fun fact. Sweden and Denmark are the two countries with the most wars against each other in the world, at 30 different wars after the 15th century.

bro's editor is the average facebook user 💀💀

What a fun scenario. An interesting scenario in a way would be if the Vikings kept Vinland and Vinland became a power in its own way.

Can you make a scenario if Russia was Democratic

What if the Teutonic knight order, sword brethren men at arms order, and Livonian crossbowmen Auxiliaries conquered Eastern Europe like they almost did becoming a third or second Germany in Eastern Europe . Imagine 3 military orders with a different style of leading and governing due to their military structure.

So that's what you meant when you were talking about making a Scandinavia scenario in the Finland premiere oh. love your videos man.

very interesting idea. Thank you for covering this topic!

As a Dane this warms my heart

This video is great it blends all the editing styles you have tested in the past few vids perfectly A longer explanation and alt history story A neat organized system of explanation and the the alt history itself A nice amount of memes, clips, gifs and pictures Amazing maps as always

Chapters 0:48 why did the countries unite? 3:07 what wars did they fight in? 4:58 why did the Kalmar union collapse? 10:31 what if the Kalmar union never broke up?

Amazing!! Yet another great video by you man!

as norwigian i love this🇸🇯🇸🇯!!

I've been looking for something like this man! I also wanted to see what if the danish empire for the 1000s united today, consisting of norway, england, and denmark, maybe even also canadian colonies and iceland and greenland if you did one with all historic lands. Great video as always

Being Swedish, I wish Sweden, Norway, and Denmark were united to be one country. I think we would be stronger together, and we are very similar anyways. I don't see any point in us being separated. I don't understand why small countries like ours fight to be independant, while huge dysfunctional countries, like US, fight to stay united

Glad to see a new video! I really think you have a lot of potential to get tons of subs.

I love how you jump right into the video without restating the question

Great video 👍

One thing you didn't really bring up in the video is that not only the Swedish Nobility was displeased with the union, the peasant class (serfdom wasn't really a thing in Scandinavia except denmark proper) was heavily taxed on by the Danes and the Swedish Merchant class was further screwed on by Danish foreign policy making it difficult to export Iron and Wood to the continent. Just appeasing the nobility wouldn't have been enough to solidifying the union, a war with Livonia and Poland with promise of Swedish monopoly over the important trading cities along the coasts might have.

Love this channel

Great video as always: Suggestion, what if Richard III defeated Henry Tudor and the Plantagenet Dynasty survived.

Well I would assume there would be larger scandinavian populations, the numerous northern wars got a LOT of young men killed that never had families of their own. That snowballs over time. I also don't think Napoleon would be much of a threat, you can't invade Denmark (except MAYBE Jutland, though its a nightmare trying to siege down a harbor city such as Kolding with uninterrupted supply lines) without first destroying the scandinavian navies, which even the british would be hard pressed to do in a timeline where Sweden and Denmark aren't constantly at each other's throats.

Huge fan man! You're awesome! Please do a Habsburg one 😊😊😊

damn, Denmark is definitely happy about that

Who lives else lives in Kalmar?💪🇸🇪

Suggestion: what if france attacked germany through belgium and britain joined the war on the other side

Woohoo! Upcoming videos section is finally here! :)

What if the East Roman Empire was able to reform and with stronger foreign support and (this is necessary for them to not die) internal instability in the Ottoman Empire they were able to start reviving and maybe start reclaim their old land? This all requires that they keep having good emperors like they did towards the end of the empire sadly when it was too late to save it and that they have decent generals. Remember plague and raids had also greatly reduced their population so their armies wouldn’t even be able to be that big either. They were at the end of their resources so other ways of them surviving must be considered.

Finally an alternative history video where the maker just dosn't tell about how something would have changed in the near future, but actually dares to gomany centuries forward, instead of just saying "there is no way of telling how x would affect major historical events down the line"

A few things to note: 1) The countries weren't actually united or combined. They were still three countries with their own laws and councils. They just happened to have the same king as their monarch. 2) Why did it happen? It happened simply for monastic reasons. Margaret the daughter of the Danish king, got married to the Norwegian King, he happened to be the son of the Swedish King. When the old kings died, Margaret's son Olaf inherited the Kingdoms one by one, first Denmark then Norway, unfortunately he died at age 17 before he could be crowned king of Sweden. Since Olaf had been a minor, Margaret had been the de facto regent. And so she could choose the new heir. She chose her great nephew Eric, he was also a minor, but was crowned the three Kingdoms. Margaret remained regent until Eric came of age in 1412. 3) The name "Kalmar Union" was never the official name, and the monarchs styled themselves as the Kings of Denmark, Sweden and Norway. The "Kalmar flag" red cross on yellow, was introduced by Eric in 1430, and wasn't used more than locally at Kalmar and at the monastery at Vadstena, and there's no evidence that it was used by later kings. The Dannebrog was the only official flag used in the Nordic area until the Swedish flag was introduced in the 16th Century. 4) When a King died, a new one was chosen (it wasn't automatically inherited), and had to be recognized by the councils in each of the countries. And he then went to each of them to be crowned. It wasn't always a smooth process, and at times kings were rejected. When Eric sugested his cousin Bogislaw as heir, the Danish council first rejected Bogislaw, and then Eric was deposed in 1439 by both the Danish and Swedish council. The Norwegian council still recognised him as king until 1442. 5) You mention King Hans, and say he was King of Denmark. That is true, but he was just as much king of Norway and Sweden, sure there was squabble about his coronation, but not a violent rebellion, and he was later crowned in all three after several negotiations. 6) The bloodbath in Stockholm wasn't the idea of Christian II, It was mainly due to internal intrigues in the Swedish council. Swedish Bishop Gustav Trolle was the main instigator, and the execution likely didn't happen with the consent of King Christian, and it happened after he had left the city, so it is now believed that his signature had been forged. In any case it was naive of Christian to leave Bishop Trolle in charge. He also mismanaged his affairs in Denmark, so he was deposed there in 1523, two years after Stockholm. So to sum up, the "Kalmar Union" was never a Country, and was never seen as such by anyone at the time, that idea is a much later romanticisation, that happened in the 19th century, when Scandinavism became popular. It was a flimsy monastic union, that relied on the goodwill of the Noblemen in the three councils. And when that goodwill was no longer there in the case of Sweden, they chose their own king. And thus the Union continued without Sweden, now as Denmark-Norway.

I always actually thought that Bohemia was a kingdom in Austria Hungary but without as much autonomy due to it also being a Habsburg state and was german

Yea sorry i am q Annoying ... Can your next video be if what if san stefan treaty was accepted ❤ Ur videos are great 💯❤ I hope u will get 1 milion in near future

An interesting timeline, but I am not so sure about when it gets to the WWs, as the Polish USSR war would provide the Kalmar union it's best chance to essentially carve up the USSR's western holdings after the miracle of the Vistula saw the russians pushed back. They might be neutral at the start, not believing Poland could survive, but when the reversal happens they might decide to take St.Petersberg and maybe even the rest of the Karellian peninsula to shorten the length of the border they have to defend. Even if they did not, they might be able and willing to tell the French and the English to not interfere in the war and to push for the peace that in hindsight proved so damaging to the world by giving the USSR a saving grace. Either way, the USSR would either be destroyed or in a much rougher place and conversely you'd see a larger poland with more resources and an ally against the germans in their invasion, assuming the USSR's rougher situation or dissolvement did not cause the germans to change their strategy for handling the poles.

I was looking for something like this like a weak ago

i think kalmar union wouldnt be intact after wwII because you mentioned the that the soviet would also invade, and since you went with historical prediction during wwII i think the soviets would either annex filand and bits on north norway or make them a puppet

Belarus looking THICC Really good video though loving yohr channel

I love your video, but my only problem is the peace deal in every ww2 video. I don't think that in all universes, germany loses schlesien and pmmern, but keep up the good work 👍

Jesus Christ amazing fucking video. This reminds me, I have this scenario in my head in the 18-hundreds, during a time in which "Scandinavism" was popular amongst especially the southern Swedes and Danes. It really didn't go anywhere due to Prussia and Austria attacking us. BUT, what if, Sweden actually did what they promised, and helped Denmark against Prussia and Austria? There could've been a slim chance of victory for Denmark and Sweden-Norway, due to Denmarks superior weaponry and Sweden-Norways larger population, perhaps Prussia and Austria would give up on "liberating" the Germans in Holstein and Lauenberg, due to once again, Pressure from France, Britain, and Russia like in the first schleswig war. Maybe after a Prussian lose, France and Austria would both invade Prussia, to secure Westphalia as a protectorat, and Austrian annexation of Silesia. Which would've meant, no united Germany. BUT, a united Scandinavia.

What if the Kalmarer Union would have joined the Hanse?

also what you said about the baltic i think alsungary also wouldnt happen as hungary as controlled lands for hundreds of years but never got them.

I will add that norway did not colonize Greenland and all those others, because that it was under rule of Denmark, and the union collapsed because it wasn’t a union it was called that so that Denmark could Trick The others to get easy land, which is why that ut was also looked on as a empire as that the only ones who had a say in the union was the danish.

Swedish ingenuity and enginering, norwegian oil, finnish sisu and danish navy and beer. Yep, that would have been good. Football with danish and norwegian players(swedes on the bench), skiers from Norway and Sweden, hockey players from Sweden and Finland. Ah and yeah, candy would rule

What if Holy Roman Empire never fell

Perfection

Leave some rolling R's for the rest of us.

Can u make a video on what if in the end of 1857 indian war of independence resulted in a unified india?

15:43 I don't see the kalmar union defeating prussia and Austria. I do however see them joining the brothers ear on the side of Austria to prevent prussian domination of North germany/Germany in general. In exchange the Austrians give them back their lost territory.

So how wuold the internal kingdoms look like in this time Line Will Denmark keep scania?

I honestly think that a long lasting union would have been a much stronger naval power then you give it credit for

Man, my dumbass saw the flag and was like "yea, fallen kingdom"

Can you do an al-andaluds senerio?

How does the USSR take almost even more land than they actually did from Finland while the whole kalamar union is backing up Finland? What did the kalamar union send in this scenario? 10 horses and one tank?

Idk if this interest you but what if Antilla did exist (along with it's other mythical Island friends) and the myth was real?

Germany bare had any reason to attack Kalmar in ww2 as they wouldnt have the problem with trade as the Kalmar would have full control over the Baltic and just be able to ship through there

Well, now we kind of have Kalmar union due Finland and Sweden joining Nato and there has been nordic co-operations even before that.

Great video, but could you try decreasing your usage of memes and whatnot?

Make a scenario if italy joined allies in ww2

Being a fairly incompetent grand strategy gamer myself, who likes playing Finland: Holding east Karelia = excruciating, but manageable. Once you get it, you'll be forever independent. It's even better than current borders, I'm sure the Scandinavians would get it back, if given the chance. The PROBLEM is the Baltics, You can't hold that vs Russia as Finland. I rarely form the Kalmar Union, but Denmark and Sweden always ally me and We can't do it. I can always conquer it back, no issues, but it's a b*tch to hold on to. St Petersburg itself is difficult to hold from Russia as well. It's a useful meatgrinder, but it's likely to fall every time

Sweden and Norway had the same king as the union were entered, worth knowing.

Gonna say it here: I personally really dislike the kalmar union's flag, it's the union of the nordics, yet it has bright summer-ish colours which just doesn't scream north. I know there is a meaning behind it but just design wise I would like them to pick something more calm

You'd have better luck with trying to set up a tri monarchy in old Austria. Which would also have failed. But that's why we have alternate history. :)

Realistically you couldve given Them togo, Ghana and the ivory coast as they already had a bunch of colonies there

i see the Baltic nations being under soviet control in ww2 being more realistic, What if the arabian peninsula united after ww1?

Kalmar union would have so small population compared to other great powers. I just see it as the other european countries would have seen Kalmar union as a big threat. Remember, Russia, poland-lithuania, saxony and Denmark saw ONLY Sweden as a big threat.

The name of the video almost made me think, tha Denmark and Sweden were married... LOL

Could u do a scenario where Kyiv Rus never fell

What if Crassus conquered Persia

to be honest i believe that history should have went down this way

I believe the kalmar union would have invaded great britain at some point, since they would have been the greatest threat to their naval dominance

🔥

10:43 chp4 starts

1:25 ''FINVAND''

Good video, but I really don't think Muscovy would have united Russia in the way that they did, if the kalmar union(KU) would have been like one nation (under god). KU would have conquered the most valued lands of Novgrorod and Pskov, and that would have set Muscovy back in the wars against the Mongol states. At least that's what I think, none can know :)

nice ending btw if it was united whould they

8:10 Denmark-Norway: "I have fought for 4 long years to gain only a small piece of land. All in the name of Protestantism!" Sweden: "Hey, France. How much you wanna bet I can take on the HRE, Saxony and Spain on my own?" *Proceeds to absolutely steamroll any major Catholic army coming their way by revolutionising mixed arms warfare and fighting for the majority of the duration of the war*

what if Yugoslavia joined the European union Dident collapse 😊

Eric of Pommern was the grandson of Margaret's sister.

Ok what if Polish Lithuania Still have moscow?

What if the Byzantine Empire took the Crusader States?

What if the second Balkan war never happened?

It would be the darkest timeline as a swede I hate the idea of being ruled by danes from copenhagen.

I highly doubt USSR would gain any territories from Kalmar Union lmao. If anything, Germany would invade USSR and have a lot easier time due to more catastrophic winter war

The Canada would be nordic coutry

It would look like a barfing limp falus

What if the first Bulgarian Empire never collapsed

Much chad kalmar union

Wait if u have 800 more subscribers u will give free hoi4 dlcs or

oh boy

I live in borgholm😊

Can you make a video if the serbian empire never collapsed?

Typing this in English but I’m 100% Swedish. Now there is a chance for Sweden to become a free country again if there are enough votes for the parties that want our country to leave the EU that will actually happen and the all of the power over Sweden will be brought back to Sweden again.

banger as a finn tbh

"respected even today" aouch! as a swede that hurts! haha!

why did you give it kaliningrad? the area is majority russian and wouldnt want to be nordic

video idea: what if communist yugoslavia never broke up and what if ussr won the cold war

Rip denmark loosing so many wars to Sweden

kalmar union should be united again forever

i formed kalmar union to stop germany it worked

I really liked this scenario. Although I'm pretty sure that Finland and maybye the baltic would gain their independence. Considering how culturally dissimilair they are to the rest of the union.

Good video but one problem I have with it is the goofy ass graphics but that is only my opinion.
