Chapter I In Austria, Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss established one-party dictatorship modeled after Mussolini's Italy. He banned all the other parties including communists and social democrats. The latter ones fearing of chancellor's dictatorship started a Civil War in February 1934, after...

Burgunderlied – A Burgundian Timeline Birth of a son On the summer of 1471, the Duchess of Burgundy would conceive a child finally after many years of waiting since Margaret of York when she married the Duke of Burgundy. Margaret of York would give birth to a son named Philip of Burgundy on...

So for whatever reasons, for example, less destructive Ottoman wars, no uprisings, quicker regeneration after Ottoman era, no inner customs frontier established by Maria Theresa, etc. Hungary (and eventually Austria-Hungary), population- and economy-wise is much more prominent, than OTL. However...

It was a perfect opportunity to avenge the Austrian betrayal dusing Crimean war and snipe Galicia. What change in Russian foreign policy/politics is required to make this happen? What would happen next?

What if emperor Ferdinand I of Austria (notable for his seizures and his abdication in favour of Franz Josef) and Maria Anna of Savoy, sixth child of Victor Emmanuel I of Savoy, had a son or more together, around the 1830's?

Even after years of battle and attrition, by the end of the Seven Years War, Prussia occupied most of Saxony and Silesia, but lacked the strength to take Dresden or Glatz, and thus traded Saxony for Glatz so ensure the future security of Silesia. If Prussia hard performed better in some...

So in the joint Austro-Russian war with the Ottomans between 1787 and 1792, both the Austrians and the Russians were forced to end their wars early and cut their winning short (very short in the case of Austria) due to Prussian sabre rattling. So what if the Austrians and Russians ignore...

1866 Bismarks Assasination allows Austrian Influence to sway in the German Confederation. 1870 After Hostilities flared up between Austria and Prussia, Austria went to war defeating the Prussians armies and forcing the Prussians to humiliating Surrender, Austria gained some territory and...

A Voyage never taken or a more glorious marriage On the later part of the first decade of 16th century, a marriage would happen and the other is a voyage would be never taken, both would have good and bad repercussions on the future of the world. Note: I had this idea for a long time and...

Assume this scenario:in 198 WW1 ends with a negotiated peace: long story short Germany loses it's coolonies, Alsace-Lorraine to France, Eupen-Malmèdy to belgium, and nothing else, no reparations, no armament limits etc etc., while keeping Brest-Litovsk gains Now assume that due to a more violent...

What would have happened had Charles II not annulled the renunciations imposed on Maria Theresa and had not fixed the entire inheritance on the younger grandson of Louis XIV, Philip of Anjou?

Let's say Austria decided to side with Russia or remain fully neutral in the war and also if Russia took advantage of France and Britain's slow landing on Crimea, weakening the allied forces. The Ottomans have some success but are not able to hold against the Russians and fall in the Balkans...

Say that Habsburgs managed to make agreement with their Hungarian subjects and Hungarian problem is solved without Russian involvement (popably with Dual Monarchy created autonomy for Galizia is also given earlier). Would Austria join Crimean War against Russia in such case? For Austria Russian...

What if the Habsburg faction in the continent-wide struggle for Spain's throne after Carlos II's death had somehow won in the end? What are the overall effects on Europe? In my view, Britain was as wary of a surgent France (as per OTL) as of a resurgent Habsburg hegemony. Thus, i could...

This has been at the back of my head for a while now. How early can the Ausgleich happen? I've seen ideas that it could potentially have happened in 1848, if the Hungarians successfully take Vienna or the revolutions are more widespread in Austria. But what if we go a bit more back? Maybe...

Im still working on the first chapter of the timeline but here is a tiny tease for whats too come If anyone has an idea for a better POD then what i have right now please message me :) I think what I’m going to do for now is write the first chapter from a 2017 perspective and see what you...

See above. Between all their intermarriages and cadet branches, the Hapsburgs never truly died out, even to this day. Is there a period of time where the entire family could have been wiped out (barring female-descendant or bastard lines that didn't bear the name)?

Austria and Russia crushes Prussia, Silesia is regained and East Prussia is ceded to Russia. Russia exchanges East Prussia to Courland (and maybe Polish Livonia) with the PLC. Meanwhile France loses it's power in India as OTL, but Britain gives back the French posessions in America in exchange...

Well, this is my second attempt at a timeline and will focus on a world where the War of the First Coalition goes quite differently. I'll post the first three chapters and leave a poll to see how people like this. If the reception is positive I'll continue this timeline. Hopefully you'll enjoy this!

Between 1906 and 1913 Austria-Hungary spent around 190,8 million British Pound on her military and 37,8 million British Pound on her navy. What if Austria-Hungary spent significantly more? Let's raise the military budget by 50% to 286,2 million British Pound and the naval budget by 30% to 49,1...
