19th century

In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, there were a few attempts by European Christians to settle in the Holy Land or Palestine, whether by the initiative of religious sects such as the German Templer Society or through settlement organizations such as The German Association of...

This is a timeline I've wanted to do for a while now and is my first timeline. It will consist of maps and maybe flags and wikiboxes of the world in a timeline that has not seen a major war between Great Powers since 1860s (though the actually PoD is as yet undetermined and will likely be...

(So, I'm trying to come up with an idea for a concept for a private project of mine, inspired by @Ambassador Huntsman's timeline amazing Nobunaga's Ambition Timeline (Go read it if you haven't), but not using the Gavin Menzies' 1421 idea; I want late East Asian colonization, where Japan...

The idea of a Hui "national homeland" sounds fascinating to me, especially after reading up on Tunganistan and the Panthay Rebellion. I would love to tackle the existence of such a state in a TL, but I'm not entirely sure how and why this state would form, nor in what time period. Hence why I...

Temporarily putting potential butterflies aside (though I doubt this PoD is going to change too much before 1870), I’ve recently been wondering what would happen if the Papal States still controlled Avignon and the Comtat Venaissin when the Italians capture Rome. Let’s suppose that, at the...

Could Canada pull migration that was bound for the United States in the 19th century that by 1870 the population of Canada would be 10 million and USA reduced to 30 million? E.g. Scandinavian preferring Canada instead of the United States instead of like in the prairies like North and South...

Let's say that, by a combination of avoiding at least some of the unlucky breaks that did major damage to them (e.g. Stephen of Blois getting blackpilled about the crusade and abandoning it literally the day before the crusaders took Antioch and inadvertently convincing Alexios that the whole...

A look at North America in the aftermath of the Battle of Belle Isle (July 8th 1789) and the consequent Peace of Beausoleil (July 20th 1789). It is the general historical consensus that the American Revolutionary Wars ended in July 1789, with two possible dates: some say the wars ended with the...

Starting today, every two weeks this TL shall be focused from now on, the same shall occur with the Empire TL. Two weeks for each TL.

This is something of a storage and showcase thread for military-related things from my Sparrow Avengers universe. These all come from a 19th to 21st century timeline by me, inspired by the Crimson Skies setting, and inspired by a question I posed years ago. That question, aimed at frequent...

Come up with history of this African American country with these borders by the end of 19th Century.

The defeat of Confederation forces at the Battle of Yungay in Peru marked that short-lived nation's dissolution. The president of the Confederation, Andres de Santa Cruz, went into exile and the nation of Bolivia suffered decades of petty dictatorships. Over the next century Bolivia lost nearly...

The POD is the Napoleonic Wars. The Napoleonic Empire decisively defeats Britain and the Coalition forces, changing the course of history forever. With Britain forced to sign a humiliating and harsh peace treaty, the colonies declare themselves independent from the British Empire and adopt the...

A preprint paper indicates that a fairly simple to make room-temperature pressure-ambient superconductor has been discovered: The paper describes a material that needs materials & ceramic kiln which would be available to Thomas Edison, as well as a vacuum pressure that was first achieved by...

Hello guys. Sorry if I am out of the spotlight for a while since I am occupied with personal matters, as well as being slowly uninterested to continue my timeline of an alternate Tondo. Ultimately, I have decided to do a third revision of the first TL of the "Philippine Empire Series" first...

I'm not well versed on this subject, so sorry for any mistakes. The Corn Laws were regulations enacted by the British government after the end of the Napoleonic Wars to protect local grain producers from foreign competition, which had the effect of keeping food prices in Britain high while they...

Keep in mind this is a subject I know next to nothing about, so there'll probably be some mistakes here and there. Mikhail Speransky was a Russian statesman whose influence reached its height during the early reign of tsar Alexander I. He was apparently a reformist, but while some of his...

Hey guys, so I'm rebooting this again, again. Here's the previous iteration, if y'all are interested. The main Point of Divergence is 1823, but as I wrote before, little changes have made this world a bit different from ours. Many thanks to those who encouraged me from the beginning to write...

Between 1800 and 1900, the Mexican population grew from roughly 6 million to 13.6 million. The USA, however, grew its population from 5.3 million to an enormous 76.2 million. I assume this is a result of instability and lower levels of migration, and my (admittedly brief) research seems to...

Every now and then I think up a new Napoleon victory scenario with a little more knowledge then before, and a different goal. This time I wanted to get Napoleon’s maximum (and extremely generous) somewhat-plausible victory based on avoiding his worst mistakes and making some good ones, and...
