1848

What if during the Revolution of 1848, the Frankfurt Parliament decides to offer the German Crown to the Emperor-King Franz Joseph with the understanding that only Austria and Bohemia would become part of the German state and the Habsburg's non-German lands would be reorganised in personal union...

I love alternate unifications of Italy, but based on my research, it seems that next to the Savoyard state, the only Italian polity both willing and able to unify Italy was the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, led by Leopold II of Habsburg-Tuscany (a local Italian branch of the Habsburgs, much like the...

Don't think it's possible but it could be a fun scenario. Napoleon II does not catch pneumonia in 1832 and lives. Archduke Franz Karl, in a fit of rage following the birth of yet another daughter on July 30th 1833, dies in a freak accident by falling down the stairs and breaking his neck...

So let's say Lincoln is somehow nominated by the Whig Party in 1848 as Zachary Taylor's running mate and they win the election of 1848. After that, Taylor does his milk and cherries thing and dies in 1850, being succeeded by Abraham Lincoln as president. What would his presidency be like, and...

Initially I wanted to do a Brazilian TL, but I don't have enough material yet. So I will try to do something with the bits of knowledge I have. 1792 : TREATY OF ADRIANOPLE The Treaty of Adrianople was the the concordat which concluded the last of the Turco-Hasburgian Conflicts and ensured...

The Prologue and a trip to Italy. It was 1828. "You may venture to Italy, but you must faithfully practice sobriety and restraint." The King of Prussia never wanted his son to go to Italy, thinking its great cultural heritage would taint him. After constant pestering, he decided to let him go...

So, I was just thinking about an alternate outcome for the 1848 Revolutions and I was wondering how plausible the scenario is, potential PoDs, and and how it might affect the future of Europe. The results of the Revolutions are: Constitutional monarchy, either Legitimist or Orleanist, in...

Welcome to this timeline that will talk about the spring of different countries with some adjustments that may affect Europe and the world And I hope you'll try to help me make the timeline look as cool as possible and help me correct any mistakes if any. Hope you like the schedule, and let's...

Let's say that the revolutions of 1848 were so severe that they suffocated Austria. What would Europe be like? Hungary becomes independent?

IOTL, in 1848, the new Dutch Constitution was created. Because of this constitution, the monarch of the Netherlands has almost no real power. But what if in an alternate timeline, this never happened. What if the Thorbeckian Constitution of 1848 was never accepted. As a result, king William...

Prior to the Revolution, Brittany was not legally part of France, but considered a separate kingdom ruled in personal union. Say this arrangement is restored under the Congress of Vienna, and that following the February Revolution, Louis abdicates as King of France, but not of Brittany. This...

OTL, Germany is fundamentally Bavarian, as during the Congress of Vienna, Britain wanted a more central german power than the eastern Prussians or the southern Austrians. Thus when King Maximilian I of Bavaria died in 1812 and his son Ludwig turned against Napoleon, they were rewarded with the...

Let's say in 1848 Germany unites on a mostly democratic basis BUT without Austria. Yes I know it's completely out of character for the Prussian king to accept the German crown but boom let's just say he developed a different personality and was up for the task. Also let's assume Austria has...

During the 1848 Revolutions in the Austrian Empire by the Hungarians their bid for independence was brutally crushed by the Russian Empire. However, what if this never occurred. I suppose this could go two ways: 1. The Russian simply ignore the revolt altogether. 2. The Russians move their army...

What if during the Berlin portion of the riots of 1848 Friedrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia refuses the demands of those revolting and as a resulted is either assassinated by the revolutionaries, dies as the Prussian mob storms the Palace, or killed while attempting to flee the city? What happens to...

(Note: the following is an exploration of how John Tyler could have won the election of 1844, and some of the results of what might have happened afterwards, it is not wholly realistic, and is in fact inspired by a game of President Infinity that I played as Tyler and managed to just barely win...

So I read recently that Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria had nearly requested for Russia (then the "Gendarmerie of Europe") to intervene in the Hungarian War. IOTL Haynau was able to convince the Emperor that the cost to the Empire's prestige would be too great and that Austria had the means to...

Frederick William IV of Prussia was a hardcore Romanticist, and the one of reason why he refused the Crown of Germany in 1848, besides calling it a "a crown from the gutter", he had Romantic aspirations to the re-establish medieval Holy Roman Empire, and would only accepted if the a...

Inspired by a recent thread. So, basically, assume that Hungary’s attempted breakaway from the Austrian Empire in 1848-49 is successful. Hungary becomes an independent state, but the Habsburgs in Austria get to keep most of Croatia, primarily due to the Ban’s loyalty. How does this affect the...

Challenge: have the Holy Roman Empire survive Napoleon or established after Napoleon (And no, German Confederation doesn’t count), with various political reforms, and in the 1848, after either a revolution or reform, is unified under either a Habsburg, Hohenzollern, or Wittenberg.
