  1. What if France occupied and started settling Algeria 100 years early, in 1730?

    In the 1700s the Ottomans are much stronger and defend Algeria much easier. Their navy, and their Barbary affiliates, are a much bigger deal at this point and would pose huge problems. Also during the 1700s France generally was allied with the Ottomans, that is probably not going to be possible...

  3. Napoleon Accepts Frankfurt Proposals - How Does Britain React?

    I still think your read is a bit incorrect. Russia was on board for the peace. Here's a good read (from page 153 onward). https://books.google.com/books?id=rNzHAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA153#v=onepage&q&f=false

  4. Napoleon Accepts Frankfurt Proposals - How Does Britain React?

    Functionally useless because of geography from preventing the allied invasion into metropolitan France. My guess Metternich's bribe had less to do with tearing down Napoleon (which was a North of the Alps affair), and more to do about Austrian interests in Northern Italy? My guess is Austria was...

  5. Napoleon Accepts Frankfurt Proposals - How Does Britain React?

    I mean weren't his only allies at this point the Kingdom of Italy (who is useless at the current stage) and Naples (who was openly about to backstab him). He had no allies left.

  6. Napoleon Accepts Frankfurt Proposals - How Does Britain React?

    The British Whigs were in an extreme minority position in parliament after the 1812 elections though.

  7. Napoleon Accepts Frankfurt Proposals - How Does Britain React?

    The Frankfurt proposals was a peace offered by Austria, Russia, and Britain* to Napoleon after he was defeated at Leipzig. Basically offering to allow him to remain emporer with France being reduced to its natural borders (Rhine, Alps, Pyrenees). Napoleon did not accept it - (actually he...

  8. What did Napoleon want if he won*?

    What were Napoleon's goals if he actually won? I'm not talking about an outright victory where he conquers England or all of continental Europe including Russia. That was never going to happen. But suppose a permanent peace is reached where France is greater than where it ended up with the...

  9. France Accepts The Frankfurt Proposal (Napoleonic Wars)

    But how would Britain try to abrogate the treaty? The treaty of Amiens had several terms the parties were not likely to respect in the long run, for example the situation with respect to Malta. Assuming Austria and Russia don't want more war, and they wouldn't, how would Britain manufacture a...

  10. France Accepts The Frankfurt Proposal (Napoleonic Wars)

    How like FDR is he? Bedridden for a week. Afterwards can walk short distances - think being able to walk across a hallway before needing to take a break. Over months and years is able to walk, but jogging and intense horse riding is never going to possible for him. Definitely prefers sitting to...

  11. France Accepts The Frankfurt Proposal (Napoleonic Wars)

    I've been toying with an interesting POD in my mind over the past week. Sometime in late October or November 1813, after the battle of Leipzig, Napoleon develops Gullain-Barre syndrome and becomes partially paralyzed. Less bad than say FDR, but certainly becomes less physically able than he...

  12. WWI: What if there was a quick German victory in the West, annexations ect?

    Suppose that Germany defeats France quickly in WWI (within a year) - perhaps through a modified Schlieffen plan that actually works and/or French incompetence. What is likely to happen to Belgium, Luxembourg, and France? What terms are likely to be applied? The war is still continuing in the...

  13. Quick Western Victory for Germany in WW1: What Happens?

    Suppose that Germany defeats France quickly in WWI (within a year) - perhaps through a modified Schlieffen plan that actually works and/or French incompetence. What is likely to happen to Belgium, Luxembourg, and France? What terms are likely to be applied? The war is still continuing in the...

  14. What if Napoleon didn't establish the Continental System?

    Napoleon established the continental system, a blockade of British goods, to try to bring the British to the peace table. Enforcing the system proved quite difficult, especially with Russia. Napoleon would eventually invade Russia... and we know how that went. What if Napoleon did not establish...

  15. 1992 French Maastricht Treaty Referendum Failure

    What if the 1992 Treaty was rejected by the French population by a 53 - 47 margin instead of the OTL acceptance of 51-49%. How would this affect the European project and continental politics?

  16. Obama Actually Exposed As A Muslim

    Considering that he is not I would put this in either ASB or in chat with the title: "ASB: Obama actually exposed as a muslim" I would probably do the latter due to the political nature of the what if.

  17. Map Thread XIII

    XD I realized my mistake and edited my original question. I was wondering what type of independent could win in Kansas, and libertarian came to mind.

  18. Map Thread XIII

    What type of independent is in Kansas? Also to save me from counting, what is the breakdown?

  19. How does the Electoral College count for states occupied by a foreign power?

    well during the civil war the southern states simply didn't vote during the 1864 election. So I would suppose they simply wouldn't vote.

  20. Mathematical what-ifs

    superior? ehhh... maybe easier, in reality in there are pretty equal and for actual mathematicians it makes no real difference. Base 2 would be awesome though.
