Picture this. The French Revolution stabilized with the constitutional monarchy instead of turning republican, and the National Assembly endured. I know that the British public was quite receptive of the French Revolution in its earlier stages, before the republic and execution of Louis XVI. Is...

It's time for the long awaited (hopefully) rewrite of my original TL, Kingdom-Building: A Valois-Bourgogne TL. The first chapter will be posted soon.

Let's Imagine the French simply can't get Vietnam. Either because its Chinese, British, stronger idk. The point is there is never a "French Indochina". What could be their next colony instead? I've heard the French REALLY wanted a colony there, so I suppose that even if they never acquire...

Let’s suppose that the Franco-Prussian war ends as IIRC Bismarck wanted it to - Germany is unified, but Alsace-Lorraine isn’t seized, and no French colonies are taken as spoils of war either. Would France still be a permanent enemy of Germany into the 20th century, or could a more amicable peace...

I’m OTL, Phillip II of Spain and his third wife, Elisabeth of Valois had two daughters, Isabel Clara Eugenia and Catalina Micaela, but what if they were both sons (Named Philip and Ferdinand respectively)? I know Don Carlos’s death may be butterflied, but at the same time Philip didn’t exactly...

Let’s say our POD is that the Visigoths win the battle of Vouille. There’s also plenty of PODs a few years before Vouille if you prefer. The overall war ends in a stalemate, and Clovis dies before he can go for round two, leaving his kingdom divided amongst his sons who are temporarily too busy...

I've thought about this for a while, but I have been preoccupied with other TL's to focus on it, but now I've found time to discuss this. What if Mary of Burgundy (Philip of Burgundy after his grandfather in this TL) was born a male instead of a girl? One thing that would obviously change is...

The "Guianas" (Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana) are sparsely populated South American countries (some would say culturally part of the Caribbean), which stand out for sharing a very different history compared to other Latin countries - such as having a substantial Hindu pop, or literally...

The "Argentine paradox" is a term used for the economic history of Argentina - at the beginning of the last century the country was one of the richest in the world in terms of GNP per capita, surpassing countries such as Germany, France and the Netherlands, while today it is a middle-developed...

At his accession in 898, Charles the Simple was the last remaining (male) member of the West Francian branch of the Carolingians founded by his grandfather Charles the Bald. Upon the death of his kinsman Louis the Child and the extinction of the East Francian Carolingians in 911, he became the...

Since starting my account a few weeks I have, in between school and course work, thinking of what to write first. My main idea has been a timeline involving a POD with an altered Battle of Poitiers in which the Dauphins Charles (OTL Charles V) and Louis, and John (of Berry), as well as the...

As well all know Columbus spent years trying to get sponsorship from various European rulers. What if instead of getting said sponsorship from the Catholic Monarchs, he got it from France? Let's say after getting rejected by the Spanish he goes to France who agrees to sponsor him, what happens...

French Indochina, initially a protectorate in southern Cambodia, expanded northwards over time. But here I contemplate a scenario wherein France retains solely over a more expansive Cochinchina region Cochinchina was the most "developed" among the territories, and was de facto and de jure...

In OTL, Mary Stuart was born the daughter of James V of Scotland and Marie d'Guise on the 8th December 1542. She would become Queen Regnant of Scotland at six days old, and would marry four times, though notably to her first husband, Francis II of France, whom was one of the driving factors in...
