What if the peoples of Aquitania, who are believed to be the ancestors of the modern Basques, were more distributed over modern-day France and northern Iberia and resisted the incursion of the Indo-European Celts and (later) Rome , and preserved their pre-Christian religion even after the rise...

I'm trying to brainstorm an idea for a timeline which involves France becoming an increasingly right-wing, authoritarian state, much contradictory to France's pathway towards liberalism, into the 1900's. What I would like is a late enough PoD that would allow this to occur; that being said, I'd...

What if the Vermont Republic remained independent well into the 19th century?

With a PoD no earlier than 1780, create the strangest plausible 19th century, simple as that.

What if Japan was influenced by France rather than Britain in the late 1800's and created an alliance with France instead of Britain?

Make the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth survive until the Napoleonic Era. What would happen to the nation? Would Napoleon carve his own partition of it or use it as an ally?

How could there be development of tanks or a tank-equivalent in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905? What if the Russians designed them first? Or the Japanese?

How can WWI happen with a neutral Austria-Hungary? Where would it most likely have started?

What would be the repercussion if the republic established in 1871 was in fact a mere transitional government and the Bourbons were restored to the throne of France?

I'm currently drafting a possible timeline, and I'd like more details on Victor, Prince Napoleon. Specifically, hat were his political views? Would he have been a good leader? My research has led me nowhere. Some feedback would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

What would be the effects if Wilhelm II contracted a severe case of influenza in 1913 and died?

With the latest possible PoDs, make these following Pre-WWI alliances work. 1) France/Austria-Hungary 2) France/Germany 3) Russia/Germany 4) Russia/Ottoman Empire 5) Russia/Austria-Hungary 6) Britain/Germany 7) Britain/Austria-Hungary

With the latest possible PoD, make Puerto Rico a Swedish possession. Bonus if it survives to 1850 and has a significant Swedish-speaking presence.

Out of everything that Napoleon III did, what was his biggest mistake?

Would a Central Powers (as in OTL; Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, Ottoman Empire) victory be for the better of history? Many scenarios of a CP victory in WWI have a neutral US with an eventual CP victory. In all seriousness, what would happen? From what I've read I've come to a few...

What if, instead of having its ports forced open, Japan was colonized by the most likely candidate Britain? Could Russia want a piece of Japan (possibly Hokkaido), thus making Anglo-Russian relations even more sour than OTL? Or would they instead try to claim Korea for their own?

Would it have been possible for a culture to domesticate bears for a combined working/hunting role. If so, which culture and/or which species of bear?

What is the earliest that the Scramble for Africa could have occurred?

With a PoD after 1800, make it so that Persia intervenes in the Crimean War. It doesn't matter which side.

With a PoD after the Crimean War, have relations between Russia and the Ottoman Empire become significantly better. They don't necessarily have to be allies.
