  1. Tshombe and The Stanleyville Mutiny

    So, ladies and gentlemen, as you might know, in 1967 Tshombe's jet aircraft was hijacked by his own bodyguard Francis Bodenan. I've seen some people claiming that Bodenan was recruited by the CIA, but that is of little regard here. Tshombe was behind the bars in Algiers, dying there. Some claim...

  2. Choiseul and French Australia

    Good day! I'm contemplating the possibility of creating a certain timeline and wanted to know your opinion on it. As you may know, French minister duke de Choiseul was determined to make up for French losses in the 7Y War. What is more, he tried to settle French Guiana and failed due to malary...

  3. Napoleon discovers Greek Fire

    I was thinking over an idea of Napoleon rediscovering the secret of greek fire while campaigning in Egypt and Syria and, perhaps, even improving various aspects of this weapon (including, perhaps, range) with the help of numerous french scientists accompanying the expedition. Is that possible or...

  4. What if Numerian Lives?

    While reading about the crisis of the third century, among a long list of usurpers, warlods and short-lived rulers of the Roman Empire, I came across emperor Numerian. As far as I understood from Goldsworthy's The Fall of the West and various other sources, Numerian was rather talented and...

  5. An idea on Bonapartes in America

    I have an idea for TL regarding Jerome Napoleon "Bo" Bonaparte, son of Jerome Bonaparte and Emily Patterson. My idea derives from Shannon Selin's book "Napoleon in America" to a certain extent. Basically, in the presumed TL Jerome-junior will try to live up to his uncle's glory. At some point...

  6. Napoleonic PODs

    I am thinking of making a TL where Napoleon wins his series of wars and, well, that's the basic PODs. I would like to know your opinion on them, if you please. - Napoleon doesn't invade Spain. Instead he helps Spanish to take Gibraltar and splits Portugal into a) spanish holdings and b)...

  7. Allies for France in Franco-Prussian War?

    From what I've read about Franco-Prussian War I have got an opinion that one of the biggest problems Napoleon III had was lack of allies. Is it plausible for Emperor of the French to make an alliance with... Austria? Austria contested Prussia for position of main germanic state. I know that...

  8. Napoleon and Spain

    Napoleon goes another way dealing with Spain. He still deposes Charles IV, but not Ferdinand. Instead he encourages him to marry either Elisa Bonaparte or Pauline. Pauline is already married, but Napoleon can force the divorce. Elisa is of more political mind but tend to be more...

  9. Napoleon and Robert Fulton

    So, it is known that in 1803 Robert Fulton offered a project of steamboat to Napoleon Bonaparte. However, Emperor declined the idea. But what if Napoleon agreed? As far as I know, Fulton also had a project of first submarines. So, assuming that Napoleon hired Fulton, would France be able to...

  10. Williamite War

    Imagine king James II has managed to beat Wilhelm in battle of river Boyne. Thus, he encourages his supporters in Ireland and Scottish Highlands. Then he is crowned as High king of Ireland and High chief of Highlands. He does not make it in Scottish Lowlands and England. Still, there are...
