  1. WI: Napoleon exiled to Corfu instead?

    Apparently Corfu was one of the islands considered for Napoleon's "retirement" by the leaders of the victorious Coalition. So what if they created a tiny state for him there, and not on Elba? In this scenario, Napoleon would be ruler of a new Principality of Corfu (or, perhaps, ruler of the...

  2. Russia without the Romanovs: WI a different Tsar and dynasty chosen in 1613?

    In 1613 Russia was electing its new Tsar and new dynasty. The Assembly of the Realm settled on Michael Romanov in OTL; but Romanov's election was not a foregone conclusion. There were several other contenders, some of whom were quite serious and just as widely supported. The most serious of...

  3. AHC/WI: Medieval Hungary develops an independent Anglican-style church?

    Reading about the politics of medieval Hungary, I came across an interesting section. When the Arpad dynasty died out in 1301, the country erupted into anarchy, with several claimaints struggling against each other. The Pope wholeheartedly backed Charles of Anjou. But the Hungarian barons were...

  4. WI: Boldyrev becomes leader of the Russian Whites instead of Kolchak?

    The coup which brought Kolchak to power in Siberia had many negative consequences for the White movement. Kolchak wasn't that bad in theory, but his naive and indecisive nature, his irrational dislike for politics, and his weakness in the face of pressure from reactionaries made for a deadly...

  5. WI: 4+ Axis nations switch sides in 1943

    Many Axis-aligned nations had plans to desert the Axis and were engaged in various secret negotiations and overtures with the Allies. Eventually, some of them abandoned these projects, for various reasons; and some tried to change sides in isolation and only too late. But what if they decided...

  6. WI: Archduke Leopold assassinated in May 1914 in Zagreb

    On 25 May 1914 a group of Croat anarchists tried to assassinate Archduke Leopold Salvator and Ivan Skerlecz (the governor of Croatia-Slavonia) in Zagreb's Opera house. It didn't go as planned. WI they succeeded? Would it affect the internal and external situation of A-H in any major ways, and...

  7. PC: Tancred of Lecce, Latin Emperor in Constantinople

    I'm writing a TL based on a more successful Sicilian invasion of the Byzantine Empire in 1185, where the Sicilians manage to take Constantinople and start off an earlier Latin Empire of sorts. I'm fairly certain that the conquest itself is plausible enough; the question is, is it plausible...

  8. AHC/WI: "successful" peasant revolt in 1900s Romania

    I've been reading up on an interesting bit of Romanian history. One of the major issues of the pre-WWI Kingdom of Romania was the situation of its peasants, which was pretty abysmal. They were repressed and their living standards kept in the dirt by a parasitic land-owning class. Politics and...

  9. WI: Alexios Apokaukos survives his inspection

    As OTL goes, Grand Duke Alexios Apokaukos was a major leader of the Constantinople Regency faction during the messy and in many ways fatal Byzantine Civil War of 1341-1347. He died in July 1345 when a prison inspection went horribly wrong, and his death was soon followed by various defections...
