The Congress of Vienna: Decided by YOU

What should I try this format on next?

You really should do ranked-choice voting. With so many similar options, many winners were dissimilar from the rest of the options, had a small plurality, but won the vote over the large groupings of more similar options that people actually preferred.

Roussillon was Spanish for quite a while until the French conquered it. It would make sense for Spain to get that back as repayment for the Napoleonic Wars, as IRL they suffered a lot trough the war (and lost their entire empire) while gaining nothing in return.

"is the world ready for Tropical Swedes in the Caribbean" it already was! Sweden took control of St. Barthelemy island in 1784 in exchange for the French getting some trading rights in Goteborg eventually they'd sell it back to France in 1878, after failed negotiations to sell it to the US or Italy (now imagine Italians in the Caribbean)

Let’s go! Hope you do this with the Seven Years War

I didn’t know that I had a vote in Vienna!

Regarding Guadalupe and Swedes in the Caribbean, there was almost Latin American Swedes! Carl XIV Johan (aka former Marshal Bernadotte) dearly wanted a colony on the South American mainland to develop. He tried for 20 years by hook and by crook to obtain territory but it never worked out. He personally always had a dream of developing a territory out of the wilderness dating back to the time Napoleon offered him the governorship of Louisiana in 1803. During the 1820s and 1830s Sweden was curiously quite involved in the affairs of Latin America and the Caribbean as Carl Johan angled to carve out a Swedish niche. It is a little known period of Swedish history.

People need to be more responsible. If you give Heligoland to Denmark, de British cannot use it to acquire Zanzibar, so the Germans keep it which means: Freddy Mercury will be German! Friedrich Quecksilber, probably singing German Schlagers. DO YOU REALLY WANT THAT?!

I remember voting like I was paid by Napoleon. I literally voted every time to make France great again and Napoleon get power

As a Spaniard voting on the Andorra thing, I must say: at least this way we prevent it from transforming into a tax haven. And also having Roussillon incorporated would at least make it so all Catalonian speaking regions got under one authority instead of divided. And protect them from the heavy hand France has had with this kind of regional languages and identities.

Here is a wild one, how about reestablishing saxony-poland and connecting them via silesia as a true buffer state between austria and prussia.

6:43 ‘kaiser-boos’ for enlarging the German states. Ok, I had the exact opposite reason to what you supposed, I wanted larger stronger German states so that they could more robustly oppose Prussian domination. Edit: and not just to fight Prussia, Germany was always going to unify under Prussia, austria, or unified little states solution. But whatever it is, hopefully there might be a counter-balance to Prussian cultural/militarism dominance

This series is great. I can wait to vote for the next one.

This is by far my favorite series, please keep doing these

Can you make a poll and video about how we would structure a constitution? Like Question 1: Are the Head of State and Head of Government the same person? Question 2: Is the Head of Government elected by the Legislature, the People, appointed… Question 3: Is it a federation, confederation or centralised state etc? Etc. You could choose a real country at a specific moment in time and make it specific to that. Such as USA 1776, France 1793, West Germany 1949, France 1958, Afghanistan 2001 etc.

It's interesting to see what people chose in that survey. Thank you for your video.😊

On voting for this treaty, I was looking first for independence where possible, then secondly to avoid exclaves without making people too large. Seeing these results, I think I would stay away from a WW2 scenario, I'm worried about those Kaiserboos becoming Wehraboos...

Nice content on channel. I would like to see that with Potsdam and Yalta conference (mostly negotations about borders in eu after ww2 for poland and germany).

Could be interesting to make an alternate history out of this. You could even toss in more votes down the road for other major decisions.

I would love to see a follow up video diving deep into what would come out of this scenario
