Since we are in africa heres a very interesting alternate history, in 729 the oumayads were planning to go conquer sicily after the conquest of spain and when their entire army marched toward tunis to depart for sicily from tangier, berbers revolted in the west, then that army had to march again back to crush the rebellion but because they were exhausted they were crashed very badly and north west africa became independent, however what if the battle was won and arabs crushed the rebellion and kept spain morocco and western algeria then went to conquer sicily and italy how would the world be?

What if slavery was never deemed morally unjust?
I wonder, if Europe never saw slavery as a problem and the blacks were kept as slaves, how would Europe change? Would there be more rebellious natured people? In times like WW1 or WW2, would people aim to hit slaves and kill off workers? Could the black population grow and soon overthrow their owners in order to gain freedom? How would ethnic groups in certain areas change? How would modern ideology change? Would there be wars like the North America Vs Africa instead of North America Vs East Europe + Asia?

For the alternative South Africa, I am sure there would be resistance to the racist policies and at least nonviolent resistance, like apartheid faced in our timeline. I am sure that Dr. King and the Civil Rights Movement in USA would be an inspiration. (I am sure they would be having discussions about racism at the end of 2021, particularly with Black Lives Matter and the death of George Floyd and I am sure they would have their own incidents that captured the attention of the nation, if not the world)

I will suggest another scenario: a huge number of White colonists, let us say Portuguese in Angola, decide to adopt the way of life, the language and the culture of some local African civilisation for a series of strange reasons, like the prestige of certain prophets and also the fact that for ordinary people Portuguese society is equally harsh to their own as to Blacks, giving an advantage of attraction to the culture most festive to live in.

The South African empire nearly did happen. At one point Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia where under South Africa's government with them running more like states in the US than countries. Many still think it should have stayed that way and too much division happened mostly because of the vast amount of different African tribes who all wanted to rule themselves instead of joining together to form one bigger and stronger nation

Mozambique should get mentioned here. It is one of the few places in africa with a working harbor during the 19th century, and it has access to coal, lime, and iron mines in close proximity to each other. If it wasnt a disease infested death trap unitl modern medicine it would have become a center of trade.
Perhaps not all of Mozambique, but the end of the end of the Zambezi river is a great place for early civ to develop.

You should do a video of what will happen when humanity gains some sort of FTL travel with which we can travel to other star systems. I know itd be hard to predict considering how things such as technology would factor in, but I sorta wonder how it would affect culture and whatnot. Itd also be cool if you talked about how we would react if, while we expanded into the galaxy, we met another intelligent race.

Can you make a video about what you think would've happened if the 2nd Mexican Empire had somehow survived? Maximilian had some interesting liberal ideas and was very interested in pushing Mexico forward towards modernization, even supporting science and industry during his very short reign. So it would be interesting to see how it could've unfolded over the years.

In the US of Africa, what if The United States of America and Great Britain and all of the other allies support the former African-Americans militarily and economically? Call it colonial reparations', in addition to ensuring China doesn't expand its Belt and Road Initiative.
