The English Civil War was fought between Royalist and Parliamentary forces from 1642 to 1651, led by King Charles I of England and Scotland on the Royalist side, and Oliver Cromwell and Parliament on the Parliamentarian side. Despite the rest of British history having been distinctly monarchical and imperial, the Parliamentarian Republicans actually won the Civil War, but failed to maintain the new republic that encompassed the whole of the British Isles, and was known as the Commonwealth. Today in this alternate history scenario we ask what if Britain became a republic, and if it stayed a republic under the leadership of the Cromwellians, and what effect would this what if scenario have on not only the British Isles but the colonies as well. Would the Revolutionary War still occur? Would America form? Would Britain still become an empire? (Would Britain join the Central Powers in this alternate timeline???) We'll explain all of that in this alternate history scenario. 🎖️Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQR_kmeb0lBEk1Zj_9LWDHA/join 🕰️ Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/monsieurz 🕓New history, alternate history, politics, or geopolitics videos every weekend at 12:00 PM EST 🌴Our Socials: https://linktr.ee/monsieurdean 🌎Website: https://www.USofZ.com/feed ✴️ Fan Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/MrZ_Official/ 📘 Flag Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Monsieur-Z/100086678611994/ 👕 Merchandise: https://us-of-z-shop.creator-spring.com/ 0:00 Intro #britain #britishhistory #history

Bulgaria is often thought of as the smallest major player of the Great War, even smaller than Serbia who at least had a roll in starting the World War. Because of this Bulgaria is usually a second thought for most historians interested in the history of WWI, but there's a lot more to the little Tsardom than most would think. Coming right off the first and second Balkan Wars which reshaped the geopolitics of the Balkans, and likely contributed to the ultimate outbreak of World War One, Bulgaria was in a strategically valuable position for both the Triple Entente and Central Powers, while at the same time the outcome of the Balkan Wars had left Bulgaria eager to reclaim lost lands, lands which now laid within members of the Triple Entente, the Central Powers, and even in Neutral Countries like Greece and Romania. Germany and the Central Powers were ultimately the ones able to convince Bulgaria to join their side, but what if that changed? What if in an alternate timeline Bulgaria joined the Triple Entente instead? How would Bulgaria joining the Allied Powers even be possible? Would Bulgaria changing sides somehow allow Germany to win WW1? Might the United States still get involved? And how will the borders of Europe be changed by this hypothetical what if? 🎖️Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQR_kmeb0lBEk1Zj_9LWDHA/join 🕓New history, alternate history, politics, or geopolitics videos every weekend at 12:00 PM EST 🌴Our Socials: https://linktr.ee/monsieurdean 🌎Website: https://www.USofZ.com/feed ✴️ Fan Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/MrZ_Official/ 📘 Flag Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Monsieur-Z/100086678611994/ 👕 Merchandise: https://us-of-z-shop.creator-spring.com/ 0:00 Intro #WW1 #Bulgaria #History

While it did eventually get involved in the conflict on the side of the Triple Entente later down the line, this brought it on the side of its rival of the day, the Japanese Empire. China also wasn't in a particularly fit state to fight a major war, nor did it see much it could do to contribute to a largely European conflict, especially when Japan had already swept up Germany's Asian colonies by the time it joined. Following the collapse of the Qing Dynasty China sought to establish a modern republic, but quickly found great difficulty in adapting old Chinese systems and customs to this new model. Industrialization had failed, factionalism and decentralization led China to fracture during the Warlord Period into several rival states and cliques, meanwhile Japan saw an opportunity to take advantage of China in this weakened state. But what if that changed? What if instead of join the triple entente, China joined the Central Powers alongside Germany even despite its own weaknesses? Could China have made a difference in World War One? Would the Central Powers have won with China's help? And if not, what would become of China for joining the losing side of the Great War? In today's alternate history video we answer that very question, what if China joined the central powers in WWI? 🎖️Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQR_kmeb0lBEk1Zj_9LWDHA/join 🕓New history, alternate history, politics, or geopolitics videos every weekend at 12:00 PM EST 🌴Our Socials: https://linktr.ee/monsieurdean 🌎Website: https://www.USofZ.com/feed 0:00 Intro 1:00 Quick History of China and Japan 5:14 Ad 6:02 What If China Joined The Central Powers? 10:40 Post-War Aftermath #ww1 #china #history

Today's episode of Alternate Presidents focuses on Congressman, Secretary of State, and Founder of the Whig Party, Henry Clay. Clay is probably most famous for being one of the most prominent American statesmen to make several attempts at the office, but never win. This time, things are different. How would history have changed if Henry Clay became President? How would his ideology of the American System have reshaped the course of history, and yet to occur Civil War? 0:00 Intro to Alternate Presidents 0:39 Early History of Henry Clay 2:19 Clay's Ideology 4:30 Hello Fresh Ad 6:07 Henry Clay's Presidential Attempts & Later Political Career 9:22 What If Henry Clay Became President? 17:11 Outro & Spinning America ___________________________________________ #MonsieurZ New Videos Every Saturday At 11:00 AM EST ____________________________________________ Our Socials: https://linktr.ee/monsieurdean ____________________________________________ Website: https://www.USofZ.com/feed ____________________________________________ Music Used:

The Zimmerman Telegram has gone down in history as the infamous offer of alliance made to Mexico by Imperial Germany during World War I. By 1917 Germany and the Central Powers seemed to have the upper hand, with Russia about to fall, but it looked like the United States would just as soon join the Great War, and tilt the balance of power the other direction, preventing the German Empire from winning the war. But what if history went differently, and Mexico accepted the Zimmerman note, joined Germany in the Central Powers, and fought in WW1? Would Germany have won the war? Would Mexico even stand a chance against the United States?

The Bay of Pigs Invasion orchestrated by the United States was intended to create a revolution within Cuba that would overthrow the Communist regime of Fidel Castro, while masking America's direct involvement in the operation. However, multiple factors caused the Bay of Pigs landing to fail, and ultimately embarrass the US. Worse than that, Communist Cuba continued on as a major threat to the United States and Western Bloc, becoming particularly influential in the global communist movement, most especially within Africa, and Latin America, famously turning the tides of war in Angola, and consequently, shifting the Cold War geopolitics of South and Central Africa. So why did the Bay of Pigs invasion fail? And what if the Bay of Pigs Invasion Succeeded? That is the subject of this alternate history scenario. _____________________________________________ #MonsieurZ #ColdWar #Cuba New Videos Every Saturday At 11:00 AM EST ______________________________________________ Our Socials: https://linktr.ee/monsieurdean ______________________________________________ Website: https://www.USofZ.com/feed ______________________________________________ Music Used:

Italy's switching of sides from the Triple Alliance that would spawn the Central Powers, to the Triple Entente of France, Britain, and Russia, is sometimes regarded as one of history's greatest betrayals, and a decision that could have very well cost Germany, Austria, Bulgaria, and the Ottomans an easy victory in the Great War, the implications of which are of course large, and wide reaching. But what if things had gone differently? Why did Italy change sides anyway? Would the Central Powers have won had Italy remained? And how could the Central Powers keep the Italians on their side during this crucial conflict?

After all, Britain and Germany are the most recognizable powers of both World War Two and the original Great War, but things almost went very differently. Joseph Chamberlain of Britain, the father of Neville Chamberlain, had on three occasions attempted to forge an Anglo-German Alliance, but when these negotiations failed, Britain ultimately turned to France and Russia, two countries who had been previously hostile to and in directly rivalry with Britain in prior years. This alliance system created a dangerous balance between the Triple Entente of Britain, France, and Russia on one side, and the Triple Alliance or Central Powers of Germany, Austria, and Italy on the other. The result was a long and grueling conflict that exhausted everyone involved, but would such a thing have happened had the odds been skewed in favor of one particular side? Could Britain and Germany have prevented the outbreak of a World War? In today's alternate history video we will ask what if Britain joined Germany in the Central Powers. _____________________________________________ #alternatehistory #britain #history New Videos Every Saturday At 11:00 AM EST ______________________________________________ Donate on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/monsieurz Become a Channel Donor: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQR_kmeb0lBEk1Zj_9LWDHA/join ______________________________________________ Website: https://www.USofZ.com/feed ______________________________________________ Music Used:

The Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth stood as perhaps the greatest height of the Polish state, and it was certainly nothing to scoff at, being one of the largest states in Europe at the time, however, this was far from its full potential. The PLC had, because of its decentralized policies, entered into a state of decline and exploitation both internally and externally by greedy magnates from within Poland, and by rivals on its border, such as Russia, Austria, and of course, Prussia. Ultimately the weight of these pressures collapsed upon Poland, and it was partitioned into extinction, but there was a final effort in the last decades of the Commonwealth to save and revitalize the state under a new constitution which would have transformed to the loosely united Commonwealth into a centralized unity kingdom with a hereditary monarch. In our world, that never came to pass, but this time...things are different. This is what if Poland was never conquered. _____________________________________________ #AlternateHistory #MonsieurZ #Poland New Videos Every Saturday At 11:00 AM EST ______________________________________________ Donate on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/monsieurz Become a Channel Donor: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQR_kmeb0lBEk1Zj_9LWDHA/join ______________________________________________ Website: https://www.USofZ.com/feed ______________________________________________ Music Used:

It's often been asked what if the South won the Civil War, and even discussed how the Civil War almost became a World War, however, what if the Civil War could have been prevented? Was it even possible? The hostilities between the North and South which ultimately led to Civil War weren't just surface-level, but ran deep into the histories of both entities. That being said, there were numerous opportunities presented by the Missouri Compromise, the Mexican American War, the Fugitive Slave Act, and more to resolve North-South disagreements. While a peaceful solution wasn't achieved in our timeline, in this alternate timeline we ask and answer the question, what if the Civil War never happened? That is the subject of today's alternate history video. _____________________________________________ #AlternateHistory #MonsieurZ #WhatIf New Videos Every Saturday At 11:00 AM EST ______________________________________________ Donate on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/monsieurz Become a Channel Donor: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQR_kmeb0lBEk1Zj_9LWDHA/join ______________________________________________ Website: https://www.USofZ.com/feed ______________________________________________ Music Used:

William Howard Taft has often lived in the shadow of his predecessor, Theodore Roosevelt, and his successor, Woodrow Wilson. President Taft brought a moderate brand of Progressivism to the country which he called Progressive Conservatism, avoiding the Warhawkism of Teddy Roosevelt, and the idealism of Woodrow Wilson. When we ask what if Taft got another term, we'll have to consider how he deals with many of the issues Wilson would have dealt with following his surprise victory in 1912 on account of Roosevelt's Bull Moose Party splitting the Republican vote. Perhaps most importantly will be the question of how Taft addresses the outbreak of the Great War in Europe.

Big thanks to Endel for sponsoring today's video. Try it free for a week: https://app.adjust.com/b8wxub6?campaign=monsieurz_february&adgroup=youtube Alexander Hamilton stands among the most well recognized founding fathers, and more over, had perhaps the most clear and thorough vision for the direction he wanted the young country to follow under his Federalist Party. America would, however, turn away from Federalism during the election of 1800, and embrace the Democratic-Republicanism of Thomas Jefferson instead. From 1800 onward, the Federalists were a collapsing party within the United States, but early on many hoped that Hamilton, with his leadership skills, charisma, and name recognition, could turn the tides back in Federalist favor; that opportunity would come to an end when Hamilton lost his life in a duel with Arron Burr. But what if all that changed? What if Hamilton won the duel? What if Hamilton survived? What if Hamilton became President? Well, it's not that simple. For Hamilton to not just become President, but run an actually meaningful administration, we need to go farther back, and remove Jefferson and the Democratic Republican Party as a threat, while placing Hamilton into a position he can effectively launch a successful campaign from. For Hamilton to win in today's alternate history scenario, we'll have to ask the bigger question of what if the Federalists won? _____________________________________________ #AlternateHistory #MonsieurZ #Hamilton New Videos Every Saturday At 11:00 AM EST ______________________________________________ Donate on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/monsieurz Become a Channel Donor: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQR_kmeb0lBEk1Zj_9LWDHA/join ______________________________________________ Website: https://www.USofZ.com/feed ______________________________________________ Music Used:

But things could have been a lot worse for China, and there were definitely ideas floating around at the time for how the Chinese Empire could be carved up. Major destabilizing conflicts like the Taiping Rebellion and the Boxer Rebellion offer us excellent opportunities to ask what if China was colonized? _____________________________________________ #AlternateHistory #MonsieurZ #China New Videos Every Saturday At 11:00 AM EST ______________________________________________ Donate on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/monsieurz Become a Channel Donor: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQR_kmeb0lBEk1Zj_9LWDHA/join ______________________________________________ Website: https://www.USofZ.com/feed ______________________________________________ Music Used: Lau Tzu Ehru, Sao Meo Orchestra Mix

It's often debated what precisely caused the Great Depression, why it lasted as long as it did in the United States while other nations recovered, how the Great Depression could have been avoided, and so on. In today's Alternate History scenario, we'll explain what might have happened had the Great Depression never happened, and how it would effect American politics and economics. We'll also be looking at the effects of the Dust Bowl, and the particular changes that would occur if it never happened either. This is what if the Great Depression never happened.

The Crusades were a series of efforts by the Christian powers of Europe to retake and secure historically held lands along the East Mediterranean coast; lands which held deep meaning to the West, having been the birthplace of Christianity. The First Crusade succeeded in retaking the Holy Land of Jerusalem, however, for a myriad of reasons, these lands were gradually lost, and each time new Crusades were launched in an effort to re-secure them, but time and time again, the subsequent Crusades would fail, with the Fourth Crusade infamously crippling the fellow Christian Empire of Byzantium, and leaving the Near East all the more vulnerable. In today's video we will ask and answer the questions of why the Crusades failed, could the Crusades realistically have worked, and of course, what if the Crusades succeeded? _____________________________________________ #AlternateHistory #MonsieurZ #History New Videos Every Saturday At 11:00 AM EST ______________________________________________ Donate on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/monsieurz Become a Channel Donor: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQR_kmeb0lBEk1Zj_9LWDHA/join ______________________________________________ Website: https://www.USofZ.com/feed ______________________________________________ Music Used: Desert Caravan

By the year 1700, Sweden and Russia were two rising giants struggling to share a domain; if one were to survive, the other would need to fall. The Swedes and Russians were locked in a brutal two decade long war, and while the Swedish king, Carolus Rex (Charles XII) saw tremendous success early on, he was ultimately worn out by Russia's Tsar Peter the Great. In the end, Charles XII fell in battle, and the Swedish Empire collapsed...but what if that changed? What if in an alternate timeline, Sweden won the Great Northern War, and the Swedish Empire survived? _____________________________________________ #AlternateHistory #MonsieurZ #Sweden New Videos Every Wednesday At 2:30 PM EST ______________________________________________ Donate on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/monsieurz Become a Channel Donor: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQR_kmeb0lBEk1Zj_9LWDHA/join ______________________________________________ Website: https://www.USofZ.com/feed ______________________________________________ Music Used:

In our timeline, Justinian came very close to achieving this goal, having recovered the former Roman provinces of Africa, Italia, Illyria, and a portion of Hispania, but the reemergence of war with Persia, and the terrible ravages of the Justinian Plague ultimately crippled these efforts, and in time these gains were lost. But could Rome have been successfully reunited under Justinian?

In the year 1028 Danish Viking, Canute the Great, had successfully united the realms of Norway, Denmark, and Saxon England under his kingship. The resulting union has come to be known as Canute's Empire, or the North Sea Empire, though regardless of what you call it, chances are few will have heard of it, as despite the tremendous potential this almost empire held, it fractured almost immediately upon Canute's passing. Why did the North Sea Empire collapse? Could it have survived? What if Canute's North Sea Empire survived? We'll be answering those questions in today's video, covering both the history and alternate history of this Viking Empire that almost existed. _____________________________________________ #AlternateHistory #MonsieurZ #Vikings New Videos Every Wednesday At 2:30 PM EST ______________________________________________ Donate on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/monsieurz Become a Channel Donor: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQR_kmeb0lBEk1Zj_9LWDHA/join ______________________________________________ Website: https://www.USofZ.com/feed ______________________________________________ Music Used: Crusade - Video Classica by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100884 Artist: http://incompetech.com/
