congress of vienna

What are some potential points of divergance for an independent Norway to be created during the Congress of Vienna? Would it be viable? How would such a thing look in practice?

Zebulon Montgomery Pike let out a boisterous laugh as he watched the British soldiers at York scurry away like mice. The sound of his laughter was quickly cut off by the explosion that rocked the earth. The British had blown up their fort, causing large rocks to spray everywhere in a 460m...

Europe in 1815 -A young boy named Giuseppe Garibaldi dies at the age of 10 in obscurity in 1817 -Camillo Benso, son of Michele Giuseppe Francesco Antonio Benso, 4th Marquess of Cavour and Count of Isolabella dies at the age of 10 in obscurity -All of the children of King William IV and...

Hullo, this is really a far-fetched question, but I was wondering if there is any conceivable way any of you could imagine where Prussia manages to somehow keep its 1795 borders in the east meanwhile gaining its western territories after the Congress of Vienna, so it somehow manages to become...

How could the Holy Roman Empire have been feasibly restored during the Congress of Vienna? Who would have been Emperor and what would the ramifications of such an event have been.

So, in my Failed Constitutional Convention TL, Godoy is forewarned about napoleon's intent to double cross Spain given the chance and believes it (i figured that with ~11 countries all having embassies in pairs, intrigue makes such secrets much harder.) as such, spain and Portugal do not fall...

What if not The Netherlands got the former Austrian Netherlands but another country, I would say Austria. Would The Netherlands in this scenario get back all there pre-1795 colonies, or would they get the same colonies as in OTL. And furthermore three questions: Would the Dutch still got some...

So what if in 1814/1815, the Netherlands never got Belgium and Luxembourg, but instead Austria gets back the Austrian Netherlands. This would mean that the Netherlands would get back all their pre-Napoleonic colonies. So what would happen next with The Netherlands and their colonial empire...

Oranje Boven A Dutch timeline I have been interested in Dutch history for a long time, and how it could have turned out differently. After wandering around this forum for a while and considering different POD possibilities, I...

With a POD sometime after the Congress of Vienna, how could you realistically get France and Germany to unite and share crowns in a way similar to Austria-Hungary? How would the balance of power in Europe and the world shift under this scheme, assuming this union encompasses at least the...

Was it possible for the Netherlands to get German territories in 1815 during the Congress of Vienna? Originally, the Dutch king William I called for the addition of the Rhineland to his kingdom too, but I also remember a version in which the Netherlands gets East Frisia and Cleves and has to...

Obviously, we can see with hindsight that the concept of the Congress Kingdom and a Russo-Polish personal union seems destined to fail—the ideological and political conflicts between the two nations were numerous. Alexander I and his successors also failed to take advantage of the goodwill they...

So, here's my idea: in 1808 when Joseph Bonaparte is appointed King of Spain the Kingdom of Naples is not given to Murat, but instead merged with the Kingdom of Italy. OTL the King of Italy was Napoleon, but Eugène de Beauharnais, Napoleon's stepson, was the viceroy and, until the birth of an...

Apparently in the Congress of Vienna, Swedish diplomats did broach the topic with the great powers regarding a Swedish annexation of Iceland and Greenland, however whilst Austria and France were supportive, Prussia, Russia and Britain were not supportive, which led to the idea dying down. But...

Good afternoon, I am searching for a POD of the Netherlands. What I want to have is a POD in which The Netherlands stays/becomes a (middle-)great power in the 19th century and remains it in the 20th and 21th century. What I mean with Middle Great Power is a nation that is not like the real...

What if in an alternate timeline, the Netherlands got not only Belgium and Luxembourg in 1815 during the Congress of Vienna, but the Rhineland too. ATTENTION: I am not asking for a discussion about ‘they would never get the Rhineland’ or something like that. I am only asking for: WHAT IF the...

What if the Netherlands got the Rhineland during the Congress of Vienna, which king William I wanted? What would the effects of this be on things like the Belgian Revolution, German Confederation and Unification, Dutch colonial empire, and more and more.

During and after the Napoleonic Wars, the Dutch gave Ceylon, Cape Colony, Guiana and some cities in India to the British. But what if they got all these colony’s back. As a result, the Netherlands remains a (middle)great power, which I want to have. So, I thought that the best POD is that...

What sort of peace treaty would be the most optimal to stabilizing the balance of power in Europe over the long term in the 19th century? The Congress of Vienna couldn't have known about France's future demographic decline or German unification and industrialization. But knowing these factors...

I originally wrote this TL in Italian, so I apologize for errors or linguistic mistakes. I would have liked to add a map of Europe, but I wasn't able to load it because it said it was too large. If you are intrested in reading my original work in Italian, you can find it here...
