what if Napoleon married young and had an adult heir whom he always took with him to teach war in battles and politics in court. He never invades the Ottoman Empire and Spain. Along with dissolving the Holy Roman Empire created Hungary with Serbian and Croatian territories and Poland both as...

As the prince of France Louis the eighth invaded England in 1216 and was proclaimed king in London by quite a few barons. But was excommunicated by a papal legate and when king John died many of his supporters abandoned him in favor of the English kings son Henry. Leading to him being defeated...

what if Ottomans conquered Austria and Bohemia. Will France win every balance of power war in the future because Austria was their biggest continental opponent in OTL?

The Franco-Dutch War began with a French offensive into the United Provinces' territory that advanced with barely any opposition, until they were on the borders of Holland itself. Fearing that the situation could become even worse if the war went on, the Dutch offered Louis XVI control of the...

Had France won the War of the Spanish Succession (on the European front), what would've been the effects of it on Portugal, and especially on its South American colony?

Like it says on the tin. What if France managed to consolidate their control over Milan instead of being kicked out of there by the Habsburgs after the Battle of Pavia? Would the kingdom's finances be affected to a considerable degree (Lombardy was pretty rich after all)? What about the Wars of...

otl france was.. shall we say... "really not having a good time like at all god help them," from 1914 (ww1) through to 1962 (Algerian independence and the collapse of their mainland holdings in Africa) so. inspired by the "keep the french security order for 44 years) thread, how do we give...

Having the Rhine as a border was a longstanding goal of French foreign policy for centuries, but it only reached said goal in the days of the Revolution and, even so, only retained it for a decade. With a POD after 1526, could the Valois or Bourbon dynasties get a Rhine border, provided several...

I tried asking before about Europe as a whole but I might have better luck if we focused just on the region between them. Initial POD will be that during the first French republic a thought of liberalism is taken to its logical conclusion with the ideology being invented of Laissez-Faire state...

There are plenty on discussions about the French winning the Battle of Pavia, but I don't remember seeing any that looked at the things that could happen outside of Italy as a result. So, what could Francis I get in a peace treaty if he won the battle and captured Charles V? Milan is a given...

map links to the Wikipedia source. So, this thread claims this is what france wanted out of a best-case scenario in world war I. assuming everything starts the same, 1914,, Belgium, etc, how do we get this for them? I imagine a more hawkish US would help, perhaps Jutland goes bad enough Britain...

Like it says on the tin. Say the Saar Offensive is a smashing French success, the Sickle Cut is a humiliating failure, whatever. Either way, the Allies reach Berlin in 1940 or 41 at the latest. What does post-war Europe look like? Does Germany still get carved up? Would some of the countries...

The twentieth century was... rough for france. Docked to second place in continental europe as Germany rose and third on the world stage with America. The world wars decimated their population and led to the fall of the empire. While France is still a word power, the republic is more around #7...

Sweden has been the great power of northern and eastern Europe for a long time, with most historians agreeing it surpassed it's competition some time around the 1520s. With colonies in the new world, Africa, and Asia, it and France have been the empires upon which the sun hasn't set for...

Otl, France has long, long been on top of the world. The Rhinish conquests secured their eastern flank and gave Gaul one of the wealthiest industrial base of western Europe since the 17th century, and its colonial empire has long been beyond the others (especially after Spain collapsed). From...

Otl, when german chancellor Adolf Hitler remilitarized the Rhine, France an Britain were unsure how to act. France, scared of a resurgent germany wanted war. Britain, however, was more hesitant, given France's political instability and their own desire to returned to splendid isolation...

So i kinda wanna do a tl about a pax francia/a francophonic new world at least, but I'm unsure how to do it pod wise. How do we get it so that the French colonial empire is the strongest in the americas, and what sort of effects could this have? I know I want to give France either mexico or...

OTL, Brazil is easily the most successful former colony in the americas. With Napoleonic victory in Europe, Latin America received constant immigration from Italy, Spain, and Portugal while the homelands were in crisis. But only Brazil got a strong, competent government, royal treasury, and...

There are many points when Napoleon had, or was close to winning out over British, Prussian, and Russian resolve. But I want it to stick. What is the latest point to keep the First French Empire on top of the world? The biggest issue I'm having is I want to write a TL and have Brazil become the...

Could someone recomend me tml where France keeps more or less the first repiblic borders? I want to see how this would be achieved and what butterflies this would set on european and world history.
