You’ve got a month to vote your own Treaty of Paris. Can’t wait to see what crazy decisions you all make!
-
I live in Saarbrücken so we would have been directly affected by a change of th treaty of Paris
-
@EmperorTigerstar I know it's more work for you. But have you considered adding a map tool for the vote, so that at the end of voting, we can see what our choices would have looked like. I really missed that on the Versailles vote! It's also fine if not, this is already fun enough :)
-
Now imagine if Napoleon SOMEHOW for the 3rd time came back and the end the borders become even worse, like loosing Alsace-Lorraine
-
As a map guy, I have previously looked into this niche topic on my own. I'm glad you made video about it. If I could suggest a video, would be one with a detailed map of the protestant reformation over time. Surely it is an ambitious project but no one has done it on youtube so far.
-
Just started and I can already see this is going to be a sick video
-
nice video, glad ur doing another treaty viewer voting thing. last one was fun
-
As always, I found this quite an informative video! Now, I know how the 1814 and 1815 Treaties of Paris were different, as well as how vague the 1814 treaty was. Thanks for the information!
-
Informative and entertaining as always! I voted in the poll about the 1814/15 treaty and I tried to keep the mindset of containing large powers that could be potentially dangerous, but not so hard that nationalism gets stoked and they get really pissed. At the same time, I also tried to consolidate some of the smaller states to offer other trade-related political interests that would be less likely to spill over into war, since warring in commercially important areas tends to drag down trade for everyone.
-
I had some ideas while filling in the poll, mostly for some ideas of the next Vote Your Own Treaty; The Potsdam Conference. The Bretton Woods Agreement. The Treaty of Westphalia.
-
Most importantly Prussia wouldn't be able to become a great power without the vastly rich territories of the Rhineland.
-
Seems like not a lot of territory lost.
-
The crazy thing is that Napoleon III got back Savoy and many other Italian/Sardinian territories in exchange of supporting the Italians against Austria.
-
Can you reopen the forms thing? just to do it for fun
-
As a french, thank you for talking about this subject, totally forgotten
-
I just finished voting and I can't wait to see the video in March! (Most of my decisions harmed France)
-
Great initiative. I understand the focus of the Treaty of Paris is France, but I just feel the Peninsular theater was a bit overlooked. The dispute of Olivença between Portugal and Spain dates precisely to this time, and the conflict between the Treaty of Badajoz vs the Treaty of Paris.
-
On Question 20, giving French Guyana to Netherlands as well would also have been an option. Personally, I'd have been most in favour of removing European power from the area altogether. I went for voting as part of Portugal/Brazil.

Nice video

How is it that the Europeans can make savagery look so sophisticated?
