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

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

    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.
  • 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.
  • 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

  • @bucherbuddy2237
    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.
  • @luckychops2162
    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?
  • @Luca-5382
    Thank you for this videos! Good work!
  • Hey, Possible History, I just want to say that your channel is pretty cool and I enjoy all of your videos.
  • @raptoro0792
    Great video! Here’s another video idea: What if the Dutch won the Second Anglo-Dutch war?
  • Why do you keep calling them prussia. They arent prussia without east prussia. Instead they are the electorate of brandenburg or margravate of brandenburg.
