  1. WI: Robert E. Lee Accepts Command of the Union Army in April 1861

    The offer was on the recommendation of General Winfield Scott. At the time Scott was that highest ranked and most respected military mind in the US Army. He was very knowledgable about the competence of the offer corp under his command in 1861. So it was believed. (Lee and McClellan were two...

  2. How badly could the US lose the war against CSA and UK?

    I think that Great Britain would still not have entered the war on the side of the south. Nothing has changed in this scenario in Great Britain as far as those who wished to continue to stay officially neutral. The majority of the British public were anti-slavery. Britain already was...

  3. Would Italy still join WW1 in this scenario?

    By 1914, the advantages of the Triple Alliance for Italy were no longer as strong as Italy's ambitions in Europe. Italy no longer feared as much French threats on her north eastern border as a result of her predecessor (Sardinia) actions to Unify Italy, especially the annexation of Rome much to...

  4. WI: Wilhelm I of Prussia Killed At Louveciennes?

    Yes that is what I meant. That he would be Crown Prince for a longer time.

  5. WI: Wilhelm I of Prussia Killed At Louveciennes?

    Better off might be left to opinion. I just feel that an entire generation if you will of Germans who might have embraced Frederick III's polices were passed by, and who knows, if a future William II might mature into a less reactionary and egotistical monarch if he had to wait longer to...

  6. If Washington died in 1788 who would have being the first president?

    You would have to find a unifying "American Nationalist," if you will, who had the ability to unite all 13 states, big states and small states, and three regional areas, (New England, Middle States, and Southern States). Most likely a former General of Washington's who fought for independence...

  7. Bourbon Restoration if Louis XVIII dies before 1814

    The Congress of Vienna would not allow for some of these alternate candidates when it so strongly supported as part of its agenda "Legitimacy" among the restoration of some of the monarchs of post Napoleonic and French Revolutionary Europe. That would include Louis Philippe who was 4th in line...

  8. PC: United Kingdom of France and Spain

    I agree. The rest of Europe would not accept the idea of just me not my line.

  9. WI: George VI was killed during the Blitz?

    How about this for more intrigue. George VI is killed in the blitz, his brother Henry, Duke of Gloucester becomes regent for the young teenage Elizabeth II. The British led by the the regent, (a soldier himself) is bent on revenge, while Nazi's work any propaganda they can to work a way the...

  10. WI: Wilhelm I dies in 1861

    Frederick III was liberal minded in his domestic and social policies, no doubt an influence of his British wife "Vicky" who was no doubt influenced by her father Prince Albert. But he was a true German Nationalist also who wanted German unification under Prussian rule. In other words, he...

  11. Best English Dynasty: Plantagenet vs Stuarts

    I at first had second thoughts on the Stuarts as they tried to implement Absolute Monarchy in the developing stages of English Democracy, also Charles I and James I lost their thrones via Civil War and the Glorious Revolution. But on the other hand, Charles II restored the Monarchy, he expanded...

  12. AHC restore the German Monarchy

    What about all the other Geman monarchies within the old Empire?. I often read about the "restoration of the monarchy" and it usually implies The Imperial Crown of the Prussian Kings in the Hohenzollern Dynasty. Remember, the German Empire included some autonomous Kingdoms, Bavaria, Saxony...

  13. WI Russia wins the crimean war

    The wars end was not seen by the Autocratic Conservative, Nicholas I. The humiliation of the defeat had to be the burden of his more progressive son Alexander II. But the combination of Nicholas I's death, the defeat in the Crimean War, and the succession of the more progressive Alexander II...

  14. WI Russia wins the crimean war

    Interesting scenario. After all, of all the great powers of Europe at that time, Russia was likely the one power that did believe in the Concert of Europe and that it would would work in their favor. After all, they helped crushed the Revolutions of 1848 in Austrian controlled Hungary, and in...

  15. What if Adolf Hitler ,Hermann Göring and Ernst Röhm died in 1933

    A return of the Monarchy could be a possibility. A younger President von Hindenburg with all of his wits about him might work with his cabinet and government to see such a return. He was after all a Monarchist at heart. Did he have any communication during his presidency prior to his death...

  16. WI: Bismarck accepts the offer of Christian IX and Denmark joins the German Confederation in 1864

    Would that have warranted a possible concern from the British and Russians who had dynastic ties to both Denmark? Yes the German Crown Prince is married to the British Princess Royal, but but the Princess of Wales is Danish as is the future Alexander III's wife (they are sisters). Where...

  17. Would France have surrendered if Germany took Paris in September 1914

    I think you are right But at this point, the British will likely keep maybe token forces in Europe, to look after the interests of Belgium?, and concentrate on their defenses of its overseas Empire. Possibly their troops are likely now dispersed to defend their colonies in Africa , where...

  18. WI Alexandra and Dagmar of Denmark married each other's husbands

    The sisters were close enough in character and in minds that they would likely have just switched roles. I agree that the idea of Bertie marrying Dagmar is a little further fetched as Victoria and her husband Albert when he was alive, were anxious to marry him off as soon as possible. He...

  19. WI: Wilhelm I of Prussia Killed At Louveciennes?

    I think then Crown Prince Frederick had different visions as to what the German Empire would be politically, socially, and perhaps economically. But one thing he had in common with Bismarck, he wanted a unified German Empire under Prussian control, and he no doubt looked forward to his turn...

  20. What if Mark Antony and Cleopatra won and seized control of Rome?

    If what you say is true, then Octavian, who was not only Casear's nephew by blood, his mother being Caesar's sister, but by Roman law, he was Caesar's adopted son. So he was the beloved Caesar's legitimate heir.
