Possible or Plausible, I guess I should ask.
Between the "destruction" or perhaps dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire by Napoleon, but even after the defeat of Napoleon in 1815, could the Hapsburgs possibly retake or retrain control of Italy at all in some way.
I do assume that this would...
Not including the Bay of Pigs, or Cuba or even a cliche War with Mexico, is there any Country in South America that the US would intervene in, to stop the Spread of Communism or any hostile dictatorship, in a similar scenario to Vietnam during the Cold War.
So John Brown had an extensive career as a political agigitator and extremist, between bleeding Kansas and even Harper's ferry the man was violent in his pursuit of freeing and arming slaves, starting a slave insurrection and bringing a out a Civil War in general.
But, say he escapes Harper's...
Serious question, but I guess it does depend ion whether he dies or resigns. He was mid-70s at the start of the Civil War and massively overweight, so I assume a death can plausibly be created, but what if he resigns instead.
Who is next in Line as commander in Chief. Is it Robert Patterson...
So, Maximilian of Habsburg does not accept the Mexican Throne in the 1860s, thus denying Napoleon III his Habsburg Monarch and also his French interests in Mexico, but is it possible, during the Spanish Revolution of 1868, that a surviving Maximillian could be offered the Spanish throne as a...
As we all know, Napoleon abdicated and was exiled to the Isle of Elba after the Battle of Leipzig, and returned for the Waterloo Campaign, and then lost before being exiled again and sent to St Heleana.
What if the Battle of Nations/Battle of Leipzig was a far more complete victory for the...
So between 1760 and 1867 the British controlled all of Quebec/Canada/French Regions of North America that were mor or less a loos confederation of territory. So in that timeline, depending on the Revolutionay War, War or 1812, and even the Upper/Lower Canada and eventually Canadaian Federation...
John Tyler is well known as the man who pushed through Texas annexation and James Polk definitely certified it at the beginning of his administration. ANd Henry Clay himself seemed to flip-flop between being pro/anti-anexxation.
Given that Clay and Tyler really did not like each other, is it...
In the mid-to-late 1840s the United States expanded and gained territory in Texas, Oregon Country and the Mexican Cessation, gaining at least a Third, if not half of the known United States today.
Polk at the time was able to secure Texas (even though it was annexed by John Tyler), and also...
SO, suppose that John Wilkes Booth slips somehow and accidentally shoots/kills Mary Todd Lincoln, and Booth, whether or not he he is captured or not at the theatre..,
...how does a surviving Lincoln, but a grief-stricken one, continue on with his policy of reunifying of the United States...
In How Few Remain, and the aftermath of the Second Mexican War, Theodore Roosevelt states that if elected President he "would never lose a war against the Confederate States". So suppose we dial this up to eleven with all the Revanchism and say that not only did Theodore Roosevelt and the United...
The US election of 1824 is rather infamous for its corrupt bargain between John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay and its snubbing of Andrew Jackson, all because all three pcandidates did not want to be playing "second fiddle" as it were to each other. Supposing that the deadlock of the 1824 election...
Obviously not too sure if it possible, but still an interesting idea to analyze.
Anyway, what I am suggesting is if it possible for Franco to take Spain down a hardliner Nazi path similar to OTL Nazi Germany, and for Hitler and Nazi Germany to take the more Spanish Franco route - as in Hitler...
Historically, John C Fremont lost in the election of 1856, whereas Abraham Lincoln won in 1860.
So with a little bit of a push, Fremont wins the Republican nomination in 1860 and eventually the election. Now given that Fremont was a lot more liberal and radical in his approach to slavery, and...
Ok, so Andrew Jackson is rather well known - at least on a technicallity - of bringing/securing both Florida and Louisiana into the Union. But is it possible for him to bring in Texas in the same way?
During the Monroe Administration Jackson was criticized rather heavily for his role in...
General Hull surrendered Detroit, and hence most of Michigan territory to General Brock and his British army in August of 1812 William Henry Harrison and Oliver Hazard Perry later recaptured the territory, I would guess that if Captain Perry's naval flotilla is defeated in the Great Lakes and...
So, IIRC, to get Adams elected you just have to flip Pennsylvania, or maybe Somehow flip South Carolina, but I am more curious, if Adams does win re-election, then does Jefferson become his Vice-President again, or does it go to Pinckney or Burr?
For the sake of convenience, say that James Monroe died during the war of 1812 when he performed that rearguard action, therefore ensuring that he would not be able to be elected in 1816, who exactly would be the nominee/nominees for the Presidency in his place.
Andrew Jackson is a...
So, I have just been thinking of it recently, but how plausible would a Russo-German alliance be?
I was looking at the idea that Germany wants control of control the Grossdeutchland landmass/region, whereas Russia wants a lot of the Balkans and even some of the Turkish regions. I thought maybe...
So, watching Gettysburg, i was just up to the part where John Bell Hood begins his attack, and having watched the Confederate staff meeting before where Longstreet says he does not have Pickett, how much would this battle change, if at all, if Pickett was there with the army when the battle began???
