    Threadmarks: Introduction and Western Europe

    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...

    AHC: Have the July Revolution Result in a Second French Republic (2.0)

    It is a pity that this post has not received any response as the questions asked are interesting. So I allow myself to revive this thread, hoping that it will be seen by others. At the moment I'm thinking about how Louis Philippe d'Orléans could have kept Henry V on the French throne, but...
  3. If Germany won WW1, would France fall into civil war? If so, wo would win?

    If the Central Powers won WW1, would France devolve into civil war? I've been wondering if the mutinies in the French military during 1917-early 1918 could cause a civil war. If so, who would try to take power? Would the German Empire create a puppet provisional government, or will Socialists or...
  4. Frankie Goes to the Hofburg, or Napoléon II, Regent of Austria?

    This is based on a discussion I had with @The_Most_Happy @VVD0D95 @Fehérvári: OTL Emperor Franz I had no living grandkids until the birth of the future emperor Franz Joseph. However, both he and his wife (Karoline of Bavaria), were very attached to their grandson, "Frankie", the duke of...

    Development of the Bourbon Kingdom of Sicily if the Murat Kingdom of Naples survives

    Supposing the Kingdom of Naples ruled by the House of Murat remained in place after the Congress of Vienna like it almost did in otl, how would the Bourbon Kingdom of Sicily develop? What would be the likely geo-political and economic developments of Sicily in this tl? How would this Kingdom...

    Bourbon Restoration if Louis XVIII dies before 1814

    Let's say for some reason or another (doesn't matter if he dies in the Revolution or as a result of his lifestyle catching up with him during his exile as he was 59 when he was King and was quite obese), Louis-Stanislas, younger brother of Louis XVI is too dead to assume the throne when Napoleon...

    WI: No Hundred Days Or Flight From Elba?

    I've heard it tossed around a few times that France was actually going to get a bit more out of the Congress of Vienna than it did, but Napoleon's flight from elba and retaking of power led to France being left with what it received otl. Say that Napoleon's health is worse, maybe his cancer...
  10. Put Down That Coal! A Short TL
    Threadmarks: For Want of a Fiery Coal

    For Want of a Fiery Coal February 15, 1898 Havana Harbor, Spanish Cuba It was late evening. The ship was sailing into the harbor as a show of force while the island was in the midst of a war fought for 3 years by now. Below the deck, a group of sailors was playing cards to pass the time...
  11. WI: Charles X deposed before the French invasion of Algeria?

    During the last days of the Bourbon Restoration, Charles X of France knew that public opinion was turning against him. To shore up his popularity, he decided he should obtain some kind of foreign policy victory. Deteriorating relations with Ottoman Algeria provided him with an opportunity, and...

    AHC: Have the July Revolution Result in a Second French Republic

    What would it take for the July Revolution in Franch which in otl saw the Semi-Constitutional Bourbon Monarchy replaced with the Liberal Orleans Monarchy, to result in a Second Republic being proclaimed? I think in otl Louis-Philippe almost didn't take the Crown as he was named as regent by...

    DBWI No Reign of King Louis XVII: The Sun King Come Again

    King Louis XVII the son of the unfortunate King Louis XVI and Queen Marie-Antionette was one of the most consequential Kings in French history. His restoration of Absolutist Rule and heavy involvement in governmental affairs earned him the monicker the Sun King come again. King Louis who was...

    AHC: Successful King Charles X of France

    This is Charles X the last true King of France (The usurper Louis-Philippe doesn't count). Assuming he had been watching the Revolutions and political developments in nations like Austria, Prussia, and Russia more closely and had kept his conservatism and Neo-Absolute vision of government, what...
  15. WI: A reconquest of Haiti by Restoration France?

    This is something I've became interested in after reading about Napoléon's attempt to reconquer Haiti and the expedition send by Charles X to force the Haitians to pay a 150 million indemnity. So in the early years of the Bourbon restoration Haiti was divided into two nations, the northern...
  16. WI: Surviving Issue for Marie Therese and The Duke of Angouleme

    After reading a book on Marie Therese, daughter of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, I wonder how history would be affected if the Duke and Duchess of Angouleme had been able to produce an heir with Marie Therese's pragmatism and Angouleme's liberal leanings. For the sake of this scenario, let's...
  17. WI: the Comte d'Artois died before the Restoration?

    So I've always been interested in the Bourbon restoration and have read/post many threads on the subject over the years but I never remember seeing this brought up before. Everyone who's studied the era can pretty much tell that it was Charles X's policies that brought down the dynasty. So what...
