The Most DELUSIONAL Plan in World History...

Added: 2026-05-20

[00:00:00]Every day I wake up and wish I was as delusional as the Spanish Empire. Their plan was to breed their way into Chinese leadership. This is literally what they thought their empire could look like.

[00:00:09]Now, this is what the Spanish Empire ended up looking like at its peak. And if my empire ever got this big, you know what? I think I'd be pretty delusional, too, considering maps like these. It's really not that crazy. However, they were talking about not only all of China, but getting the Korean Peninsula, Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, even Vietnam and Indonesia. This is like absolute pinnacle of what they could have got. I doubt they would have got this though. This whole idea is called the Chinese enterprise. This was an idea they wanted to do during the 1500s to the Ming dynasty. They had just taken all of the Philippines islands. So why not take more of Asia? Basically all of it. Seriously, like China was the most populated place on Earth by far at this time and they were just going to marry their way to the top. Marry is the nice way to put it. They were going to smash their way to the top. It's kind of crazy to think that they actually would have gone through with this absolutely bonkers plan if it wasn't for just this one thing. this one little battle and that is obviously the English sinking their Spanish armada. But in a different universe, yeah, I mean maybe the Spanish Empire could have got this big. Keep in mind at this time they had a union over Portugal. So not only did they have the Spanish-speaking parts of America, but also Brazil, too. Imagine a Habsburg in charge of China. I feel like just taking over Japan is actually the most unrealistic part of this thing here. But if they were to actually grab control over the Ming dynasty, yeah, I mean, they're going to probably control Vietnam and Korea, too. Why not East Tammora to slap on top of it? Spanish king was the first person to ever say, "You met me at a very Chinese time in my life." Me too, bro. Me, too. Yes.

[00:01:33]Remember, the plan here was actually not to conquer China. They just wanted to cuck the Ottomans. It's actually insane seeing these maps that the Spanish Empire actually had. This This is bonkers. How was this honestly real?

[00:01:45]They got even more on this map compared to the other map we were showing.

[00:01:48]Spanish-sp speakaking Chinese people would be the funniest timeline, not going to lie. You can find that. That's actually not that hard to find. I think a lot of people forget the biggest thing that contributed to the dulu of the Spanish Empire was something pretty big that happened previous to this. Not just conquering so much land here in the Americas, there's also really this little thing called the reconista. Just to commit yourself for over 700 years to kick Muslims out of your home and then actually doing it, I'd give anyone a giant head. A head big enough to possibly think they could conquer all of the Bing dynasty.

[00:02:18]Holy swapped history. What the bloody hell is going on here? English anime just doesn't sound quite as cute. I don't think they can be that cute.

[00:02:24]>> Birmingham is A HOLE.

[00:02:26]>> SO, we basically turned Ireland into the Korean Peninsula, and we turned the Korean Peninsula into Ireland. And yes, the monstrous side here is probably led by a very chubby ruler with nukes. Do not under any circumstances get on his bad side. Meanwhile, in green, the Republic of Ireland. This is a uh capitalist hell, probably ruled over by basically five families that control everything. I don't even see much of a difference between the UK and Japan. I mean, I guess they have the monarchy, but Japan still has their monarchy, too, right? Meanwhile, in this universe's Korean Peninsula, we have well, this is Busousan. That is like the Northern Ireland that's still connected to Japan.

[00:03:00]The rest of the green Korean Peninsula, that's uh that's independent Korea. They want to unite with the rest of Korea. 26 + 6= 1. What What do they What do they say? Except I don't know how many provinces the Korean Peninsula has.

[00:03:12]Something just you could do the math.

[00:03:13]It's funny because you can already make a ton of comparisons to Japan and the UK. Both are islands that ended up becoming extremely powerful in history.

[00:03:21]They were able to use their navy to protect themselves from the mainland.

[00:03:24]Both had giant empires. Both did terrible things to their neighbors?

[00:03:28]That's a good question. Would you rather be Korean under the Japanese Empire or Irish under the British Empire? What fate is worse? Does this imply that there were British samurai? Did Japan colonize Australia, Canada, and India?

[00:03:39]Did the nuke drop on Blackpool? This man's asking the real questions. Please tell us we nuked Birmingham or where did I stay in London that one time? Um, Brixton. Yes. Imagine the Channel Islands as Taiwan in this universe. I guess France is China. Imagine the war crimes the British would commit during the Irish Revolution.

[00:03:56]Be prepared to shield your eyes. Viewer discretion is heavily advised. What if instead of the British, it was actually the French that created the greatest empire on Earth?

[00:04:06]Talk about jump scares. So, they stayed historical by colonizing Quebec. But then they decided, you know what? Let's take all of Canada and let's not contribute that much to Louisiana. They put most of their colonial efforts in getting all of Canada. Then they took this from the Americans, which I don't even know what's going on with the Americas. They're very divided. Oh, clearly the South won the Civil War.

[00:04:25]They bought Alaska from the Russians.

[00:04:26]They still have French Guyana and they still have Haiti. But honestly, their territory in the Americas, I don't think is what makes them super powerful. They still have their classic French Africa from Algeria down this way, but they also have the Congo, Sudan, and Egypt in this universe. I'd say the big difference is yes, that is French India.

[00:04:43]Imagine a billion Indians speaking French now. My god. They still got Southeast Asia, but they also managed to take on Syiam and Malaysia cap LeBron James. And this would certainly be enough that the French would gain the title biggest empire in world history.

[00:04:58]What's funny is, you know, even the British probably still have a very good empire even in this world. It looks like they more than likely still have Australia and New Zealand. They might still have parts of Africa as well. It's just they're being unbelievably overshadowed by their biggest rival in history. Oh, they also have huge chunks of uh Germany and Belgium. Forgot to mention they have some of New England.

[00:05:17]They also very smartly decided to keep the Americas very divided. Look at how divided Brazil is. This is clearly before a great war or World War I because we have a you know pretty thick Germany. Definitely safe to say the ant mainly led by the French in this universe is going to win WWE. But you know what? They might have more say in the Treaty of Versailles. They might really punish Germany. Like Germany might not even exist after this treaty.

[00:05:38]Talk about return on investment.

[00:05:42]I don't even know. That's stupid. This map was inspired by another map depicting an accurate version of the British Empire in 1886. They typically refer to this century as the Victorian era. I imagine in the French version of this world, it's probably just called the Napoleonic era, which we we have that already, but it just is a lot longer spanning. So, the French basically have an entire 100 years named after their ruler instead. Here's some of the lore behind this very chaotic situation we've been put in. Makes me want to barf. There's also a French UAE.

[00:06:09]So, they're going to have a whole lot of oil coming out of this. Or does everyone eventually still get their freedom. Even if they got their freedom, you know how many French speakers would be in the modern day? A whole like 1 billion at least. You know who'd love this?

[00:06:21]Probably le Reddit.

[00:06:24]What if Rome had a history more like China's as of recently? A Roman warlord period that occurs in 1925. So, first of all, we're assuming the Roman Empire literally never falls. Well, up until this moment, because it's certainly going to face maybe its biggest test yet. Remember that the Roman Empire in our universe fell less than a thousand years ago. It was around for longer than well, longer than it's than it hasn't been around. Does that make sense? I don't think it's that crazy to see the Romans maybe make it to 1925. The problem is they're going to be dealing with probably the most brutal civil war with the most casualties they've ever seen. Again, if you know a lot about the Chinese Civil War that happened in the early 20th century, you're going to see a lot of similarities. You've got all these different factions that are kind of occurring and trying to accumulate power. First of all, the nationalists, that's interesting. The Communist Revolution, which ends up winning the Chinese Civil War, and I'm assuming might end up winning this Roman Civil War. It starts all in Switzerland. Those dirty Swiss. It might also possibly start in uh Jerusalem. What? I wonder who's going to be the uniting force that ends up having all the warlords come together to take out an invader. For the Chinese, that was obviously Japan. They all had to put down their arms against each other and unite. But who is this Roman United front going to be fighting?

[00:07:34]I'm assuming they've got to be coming from modern day Russian lands. Maybe like a Maybe it's Russia. I don't know.

[00:07:38]What the hell? Turkey. At least most likely it's going to be coming from modern day Russia. But you know, they've always had problems with those Persian Oh, Japanese. What? Japan's over this way. All right. So, maybe they're still conquered by Japan. I don't even know.

[00:07:48]The American desert. Oh, that says African. I can't read. I love that even the Carthaginians are still here after they got instinct. They got massacred.

[00:07:56]They they they've been extinct for like 2,000 years. Keep in mind this is a Roman Empire that got even bigger than they ever got in our timeline. They've expanded their frontiers further into basically all the continents. So what the nationalists are basically just the Bzantium part of the Roman Empire. So whenever the Romans decide to unite against the invading force that ensues in World War II, the ideas of communism throughout the Roman Empire is going to spread and they will defeat the nationalists. Where are the nationalists going to run to? Where's the Taiwan going to be? Is it going to be Cypress?

[00:08:24]There's actually so many different islands to choose from. I don't even know what the hell happened to the British Isles. So yes, lots of lore happening here. Obviously, it's actually a really fun idea to think about. You know, this a massive Chinese civil war taking place, but this time in a Roman Empire with Europe. Yes. So, what is known as the Red Hatching is in Switzerland. That is their home base. Of course, the Alpines. What would be really crazy to think about is the ensuing communist Roman Empire. That would be all over Europe. Assuming that part of history still stays the same.

[00:08:50]The People's Republic of Rome, is that what it'll be called? My goodness, that would be a lot of communism.

[00:08:57]This really is the most likely thing that would have happened if the Europeans were right. If Christopher Columbus was right and he thought he could just sail straight over to India.

[00:09:05]Cuz remember, he didn't know the American continents were going to be there. This is a world without the American continents. Therefore, the Ottomans and the Chinese dominate. But you know what? It's also a world without India. Cuz remember, one of the biggest things that makes the Europeans so powerful is all the resources and wealth they are finding in the new American continents. Without that, they're going to continue to be choked off by the Ottoman Empire here. And also, China is just going to continue to be dominant.

[00:09:27]There's not going to be Europeans over here putting their filthy little fingers all over these ports. I don't even know if Iran survives this situation. Unless the Ottomans and Chinese agree just to keep this buffer state there. Why is India not here? That's what I'm confused about. I love that the Ottomans have just Wait, is that the Ottomans? This looks like Madagascar. Oh, no. The Ottomans have colonized Madagascar. And I guess they colonized this part of Australia. The Ottomans and Chinese have decided to divide up the Australian continent. The Ottomans are also the ones that are colonizing most of Africa, although the Chinese are here slightly in South Africa as well. The Chinese continue to vaselize many of their neighbors like Korea to Vietnam to the Philippines to Malaysia. The Holy Roman Empire is super splintered. So, I don't know how much longer they're going to be able to keep the Ottomans out. There literally needs to be like a Oh my gosh, there's Chinese vassals in Iberia. Okay, this is absolutely ridiculous. And the Empire of Kazan, I don't think they're just powerful enough to take on the Chinese. The Swedish Empire looks pretty good though. I think it certainly helps the Ottomans without an Indian subcontinent here. Maybe it helps the Chinese as well, but you know, they've always been walled off from them. I think the Ottoman Empire might be they can expand in so many different ways. I don't even know what way they'd want to expand into. I may be getting more of the Empire of Kazan. There's just significantly less real estate in this universe without the Americans here. Who ends up winning out? I would bet more than likely China, but it really depends on how much more the Ottomans decide to conquer. If they take on all of Europe at some point, well then, okay, yeah, they might be the more powerful nation for sure. I love how Afghanistan follows the Russo Anglo border agreement. Yeah.

[00:10:49]Like the only reason why Afghanistan has this weird tail is to keep England from and Russia from bordering each other in where was supposed to be India. Burma kind of looks like India in this universe. Remember just removing the American continents makes the world smaller in a certain way in terms of real estate. But if you really want to make the world smaller in terms of population, yeah, removing India is certainly going to do that. India and China have always been some of the most populated places on earth throughout all of history. So, I like that he did it in two different ways to make the world smaller, not just by removing real estate. Also, people Europe, Great Britain, France. No, freak that. Who you picking, the Ottomans or Chinese global?

[00:11:24]Great game. That's like I said, that's a good game. That's a good That's a good question. I definitely would think China is going to win possibly. Oh, this is a good point. What kind of effect would uh Asia have without India? With all the religious influences and other things that India contributed to the rest of Asia, it would be just a completely different place. America doesn't exist.

[00:11:42]Christ is dead. Ronaldo speaks Mandarin.

[00:11:46]TLDDR News with their newest upload is America about to invade Cuba. But this is a very different America.

[00:11:57]Again, another version of the Chinese Civil War, but this time the Democrat or nationalist pro-democracy forces have fled to Cuba or whatever just wasn't communist. So clearly communists have taken over the lower 48 states. I don't even know what the hell could be going on in Hawaii and Alaska in this timeline. In this timeline, we also have TLDDR news as I am news. Also, who is this? This is clearly Hong Kong. That looks like the Hong Kong flag, but what is the Hong Kong in this universe? Or maybe it's not. I don't even know. Maybe New York is its own little city state.

[00:12:25]It looks like the nationalist Americans that fled from the lower 48 states from the communists have definitely more territory than they do in well the that more than the Taiwanese do cuz they have not only all of Cuba which is a pretty big island but they have the Bahamas as well. Who would Jamaica, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic be like uh the Philippines. Love that they perfectly predicted 1001 for this IM news. TLDDR news. You know, to be fair, their videos are not always 101. Sometimes they're under 10. Remember, all you need for midroll ads now is uh over 8 minutes.

[00:12:56]Trust me, I know. What I think made this post really popular, though, is the fact that well, a lot of people are already saying in our universe, is America going to invade Cuba without the backdrop of uh communism invading the whatever. It is ironic considering Cuba is still communist. They're one of the last communist countries left, though. So, yeah, this post is just layer upon layer of irony. It's like an onion. So yeah, this is all part of a universe, a timeline where America and China swapped. Is this a world where the US finally thinks in terms of decades rather than days? Low nutrition geopolitic videos from YouTube is the constant across timelines will always be here. This is the premise for a Hoy for mod that's overtly fascist so contains the entire text of M. Holy crap. Oh yeah, where's that dash line over the Gulf and Caribbean?
