What If Austria United Germany In 1648?

#possiblehistory #alternatehistory #ph #Europe #alternatehistoryofeurope
Germany was one of the final European states to unify, only managing in 1870. But Germany has the potential thanks to it’s size and population to dominate Europe. So what if, in an alternate scenario, Germany had been unified as early as 1648, following the thirty years war.

  2. can you do a "what if Lenin let the social revolutionaries take power in the 1917 election" I think that would be very cool and seeing what will happen to the SU with democracy and if there could win against the Germans in 1941 sounds fun.

  3. I think that the Austrians would dominate Europe for a time, but would lag behind during the industrial revolution. If they can unify the empire culturally then it may continue to exist as is, otherwise, splinter states may form during its weakness. It would eventually reform and would most likely industrialize after England but before Russia.

  4. I think a more reasonable scenario is HRE giving France Lorraine and Calais while giving the Netherland the low countries with the promise of either supporting stay out of the war. This way the HRE only have to fight the north german princes and the Scandinavians.

  5. …that map in the thumbnail for Sweden is really fucking weird.
    The Norwegian province added in was only swedish for two years, between 1658 and 1660, before going back to Denmark, and the only time I can think of for that Swedish-Russian border is either half a century, or a century and a half in the future, during wartime.

  6. I am not sure if in the HRE all land belonged to the emperor, since it was an elected position? I England, technically, the king owned the territory of the whole kingdom, but I don't thimk it was like that in the HRE.

  7. This makes me think of a scenario where Europe might unify in the early twentieth century through an alternate "Great War": After 1871, France would slowly start to think their enemy Germany as an enemy of the liberal democratic countries in Europe, France+NL+Belgium+Lux will form a basic confederation (which is the unrealistic part). They then make alliances with Britain and Russia to counter the central powers, and spreading propaganda about the lack of liberal democracy of their opponents. Thus making the eventual war not to be about nationalist desire to humiliate the enemy, but about the conflict between liberalism and conservatism. Will the liberal entente win (maybe with help from italy) or will they fail (russia might not want to support the spread of liberal democracy).

  8. Turbocatholic uber Emperor would dominate Poland and protect it against heretics. It is likely that a Habsburg would be finally elected to Poliah throne, causing a great internal turmoil only furthering its dependence on HRE. Although Poland probably would keep or even extend its borders, its role would be reduced into a bigger Hungary
