  1. Plausibility Check: A Vacant Throne in a Boulanger-led France

    If there were a successful coup in France led by Boulanger, could he successfully restore the monarchy but leave the throne vacant with himself as regent? Perhaps, he might try to instigate a marriage between the two lines of Bourbons or between the Orleanists and the Bonapartists so as to have...

    The New Kratocracy: A Boulanger Coup TL

    I’m usually a serial lurker on this forum, but quarantine boredom has led me to actually finally write a timeline. Most of this will focus on after 1900, the POD is just in 1889 (if this needs to be moved forum I happily can). If anyone does read this, please do give me tips on things I can...

  5. WI Boulanger coup succeeds

    ...a young, energetic, well loved candidate agitating a semi-populist, anti-system agenda. Anyway, one thing leads to another I think of the Boulanger coup which almost succeeded in the French IIIrd Republic. Popular in the army, loved by all quarters, he could have done it but didn't. What if...

    WI: Georges Ernest Boulanger leads a successful coup against the French government

    In your opinion, what would have been the short- and medium-term consequences if Georges Ernest Boulanger and his followers had successfully staged a coup against the government under Prime Minister Charles Floquet on 27 January 1889? In OTL, Boulanger procrastinated for too long and let the...

  7. AHC & WI: Boulanger leader of France

    The challenge is to make Boulanger the leader of France. He can have whatever title you deem to be most plausible. A monarch or emperor can be the head of state, as long as executive power rests with Boulanger. It shouldn't be a particularly difficult challenge, since we were so close to a...

    WI: Boulanger becomes President of France

    In 1883, a French General, Boulanger, came dangerously close to taking over the republic. Operating on a platform oddly reminiscent of fascism (nationalism, pluralism, militarism), he was seen as a perfect solution to republican instability at the time. What if Boulanger had become president...

  11. C'est Boulanger qu'il nous faut - Questions about George Boulanger

    Is it possible for George Boulanger to lead a successful coup against the Third Republic? If so, what do you think his policies would be? I imagine that he would probably try to restore some sort of Monarchy, with him as the head of the military. A revaunchist France would be a volatile...

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_Boulanger What if Georges Boulanger mounts a coup d'etat in January 1889 and becomes dictator? What happens next?

  13. Boulanger Launches His Coup

    I saw this idea on Hendryk's suggestions of possible French PODs, and liked the look of it. For those of you who don't know, General Boulanger was a reactionary French general , obsessed with revenge on Germany, who became an electoral machine in the late 1880s, and then was expected to launch a...
