<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWoouxtBfbk&t=383">6:23</a> - fun fact, due to Poland not allowing Queens to rule the country, with the Queen being regarded as a separate position entirely in the Polish "law" at that time, Jadwiga was actually given the title of King in order to be able to rule, despite being a woman

PH, it's an interesting video, but there is 2 mistakes. <br>Firstly Louis had a sucession plan from at least 1374 when it was guaranteed that one of his daughters will sucessied him in Poland. Mary was chosen to rue there. That is why she was betrothed to Sigismund (Brandeburg in union with Poland has much more sense than in union with Hungary)<br>Secondly Polish nobles weren't against daughter of Louis ruling after his death. They just wanted separate monrach. <br><br>So, Louis had a succesion plan in which Mary with her husband would rule Poland and Hedwig with her husband Wilhelm Hungury.<br>The plan was changed only after his death by his widow Elisabeth of Bosna. She wanted to keep the union, so she crowned Mary as King of Hungary. Polish nobles weren't happy with this. Making this story short Elisabeth was forced to send Hedwig to Poland and abandon her plans to keep crowns united.<br><br>This, however, opens a very interesting scenario in which Louis' plans were followed in which Mary was crowned king of Poland. This: unites Poland with Branderburg, makes Hungury a Habsburg possesion much earlier and Butterfly effects Mary's early death. <br>In my opinion this is a very interesed scenario because it can create in early 15th century a Luxenburg union under Sigismund and Mary between Poland, Brandenburg and Czechia changing a course of history not only in those countries but also in HRE in which Habsburg may not rise to the emperorship.

There are few thing you missed. Lithuania and Ruthenians would never accept Muscovy as "Russia" or "Rus", ethnically or legally, seeing this simply as a claim to subjugate Ruthenian lands themselves. Also, there are more than just flat lands between them. Much of GDL is located in Dnipro river basin, while Muscovy primarily expended into Volga basin, so they have primarily different transportation links, with a bunch of dense forests in between, so it would be very difficult for Moscow to dominate Lithuanian and Ruthenian lands before modern infrastructure. But if Poland pressures them from the west, Lithuania can be potentially split into pro Polish and pro Muscovite zones later on. <br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWoouxtBfbk&t=1256">20:56</a> also, here you missed right and left bank Cossack Hetmanate on the map

It's funny because Poland was technically in union with Lithuania, Hungary, Czechia, Russia, Sweden, Saxony and had a French King on the throne so yea.

You have to do a what if Portugal’s king Sebastien didn’t die without an heir causing the portuguese crown to be inherited by the spanish. In this alternate scenario spain and the habsburgs would be weaker (since they didn’t inherit Portugal)for the 30 years war and the invencible armada would be even weaker causing Spain to maybe cancel it therefore preventing the spanish from losing theyr entire navy.Portugal woud continue it’s golden age controlling all indian ocean trade and would prevent the rise of the netherlands and maybe even the british rise or delay it.
