Private Notes
The 2010s sure were crazy weren't they. How will history remember the 2010s? Will future generations see it as a terrible time, or not that bad? After much deliberation, here is my take.
India is home to one of the oldest civilizations, spanning back millennia. And in a period of a few centuries the entire sub-continent was acquired by a private business that used it for profit. Story time.
Recent events have shown me this needed to be made. In 2016 America was changed forever, and we're never going back. I'm often not political, but I cant take it anymore.
A company took over India, but colonial rule continued that legacy. What if India was never colonized by the British or any European power for that matter? Here is one alternate scenario.
Imagine a timeline where you look up at the night sky and see a living world. Wouldnt that be wacky. Here is one alternate scenario where the Moon is just as habitable as the Earth. What type of life might live there? Would humans colonize it? Find out.
I felt like talking about architecture. Since we're all stuck inside buildings for the time being, lets discuss wacky structures that could have existed maybe.
Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg is a mod for the game Hearts of Iron IV. One that crafted an alternate world where the Central Powers won WWI, and set the 20th century down a different path. Yet this victory, was only the start. This video is a brief overview on the complicated alternate history lore that Kaiserreich created. All that occurs before 1936, when tensions finally boil over.
There once was a state in Latin America that encompassed Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador. It was called Gran Colombia. And after about a decade it collapsed. But what if in an alternate timeline it didnt? Here is one quick alternate scenario.
Civilization may feel like its ending. But there was a time where it really actually did. A time before the Romans, Greeks or Parthians that was forgotten until modern archeology. The Bronze Age. So what if the Bronze Age collapse never actually happened and the societies from it continued onward? Here is one scenario.
Its often wondered what the Soviet Union could have become if just one man had taken over, instead of Stalin. A surprisingly long-lasting mythos of Trotsky. So what would actually had happened if he had taken over after Lenin? Here is one scenario.
The Eastern Romans survived for a millennia after the fall of the West before their own demise from the Ottomans. The sack of Constantinople is often thought as the end of the Medieval Age and the start of another. Politics of the past forgotten. So what if in an alternate timeline this never happened? What if the Byzantine Empire actually survived, and continued on? Here is one scenario.
Russia was the first European state to colonize what we now call Alaska, but then they sold it to focus on other matters. Little did they know what the future would bring. So what if in an alternate timeline, Russia kept Alaska and invested in it more? Here is just one scenario.
I watched four alternate history shows so you dont have to. Lets go down this journey together as I needed to make that time mean something. Will we learn anything? No. Except never go into a review thinking it will be a fun easy video.
In 1992 one eccentric billionaire ran for president and ended up getting a sizable portion of the vote. Thirty years on, his run has largely been left in the 90s. But especially in today's climate, I think he was the start of something we see today. So just to do it, what if Ross Perot won in 1992? Its more relevant than you think.
The Americas are connected by a single strip of land. And outside of a canal, internationally it isnt thought much about. However this strip of land contributed to the very existence of the world we know about. And also, I want to talk about some paleontology.
On Christmas Day 1914, the Western Front briefly went silent. Men put down their guns and met their enemy in No Man's Land. They sang carols, gave gifts, and came together as young men in a similar situation. The war was supposed to be over by Christmas. And it didnt. But what if in an alternate timeline it did. And what would that even entail for such a thing to happen?
