OTL, the failures of the Articles of Confederation led to the establishment of the American Commonwealth, an elective monarchy in which each man with a certain amount of money (or later on, many were given the privellage by local governors) elected their pick from amongst peers of the realm...

Exactly as it says on the tin, what is the earliest possible point that a form of government, any form of government that cannot reasonably be described as monarchist in nature could become the normal(or at least most common) form of government. Now obviously monarchies can still exist, they...

After the English Civil War, glorious revolution, and definitely after George III's mental health failed, the parliament was effectively the primary government of the empire. The crown certainly butted in occasionally but this is about the time 'crowned republic' starts showing up. So what I...

This is something I've heard people tossing around here and there. The basic idea is that Napoleon didn't make a very wise move in crowning himself as a monarch, at least in the sense about his family. They say that people respected and adored Napoleon himself, not his family, and that he would...

The Maori King movement is a small effort today to get a Maori monarch for New Zealand. The idea though of a client, unified Maori monarchy ruling New Zealand )or just the North Island) under British "protection" dates to the first British resident minister to the archipelago James Busby...

Supposing that the US chose to go down the path of monarchism instead of the new and unfamiliar road of Republicanism, how would this alternate United States develop. There were monarchist supporters in the Continental Congress after all. A prominent Founding Father like Alexander Hamilton...

Your job and challenge is to find suitable PODs in which former Monarchies could have been saved or restored. There are a few hard ones - Russia, China, Korea, and Yugoslavia and then are some pretty easy ones like in Albania where the PM of Albania actually did say that the Referendum was...

I’ve always had an interest in Royal lineages. About how different Royal houses rule different countries, and some inherited titles and kingdoms due to Marriages and Succession laws, like the Bourbons or the Habsburgs. But what I’m curious about, is, in the past, could the Monarch legally...

As it sais on the title, make that at least 90% of all nations in Africa have some sort of monarchy as their form of government instead of the modern 3 official and dozens of subnational monarchies

What would it take for the allied powers in the Coalition against Revolutionary France to partition or at least weaken France in the same manner that Germany was after WW2 to prevent it from threatening the balance of power in Europe? What would be the Geopolitical implications of such an event...

In our timeline the Carlists managed to win the Spanish Civil War. But what if they were defeated and the Republicans, the Communists, or the Falangists had won? How would this Civil War had been different, and how would Spain have been shaped in the 20th century when WWII rolls around?

At the end of the Paraguay War, the country had to cede territories to its neighbors, especially to the powerful Empire of Brazil. But what if the story was different? What if Brazil seizes the opportunity to establish a monarchy in Paraguay under the command of Princess Isabel and Count...

I've been looking up on the intentions of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Russia respectively in regards to the Polish question during WWI, and it sparked some curiosity in me about the possibility of a Polish monarchy. Obviously, had either of these three empires "liberated" Poland from their...

As we all know the rise of the Third French Empire was one of the biggest surprises of the mid 20th century. After France was overrun and occupied by the Germans, Emperor Napoleon VI emerged as the face of France where he coordinated the continued resistance against the Nazis with the...

If WW1 is avoided, meaning no 1917 revolution ever occurs, how much longer could the Russian Monarchy last in the Russian empire? Would they be able to adapt to survive to modern day?

On a non nazi scenario that results with the DNVP seizing power after Hindenburg dies and Wilhelm III being crowned as the German Emperor, how would the German monarchy looks like? Would they restore the 1871 constitution or make a new one? Would Wilhelm III have a nationalist empire since he...

One thing I find very interesting is the fact that the predominance of monarchism has lasted so long. Granted, monarchs generally don't enjoy the kind of power they had in past centuries, but the monarchy remains the most common type of government by far. How plausible is it for most countries...

At the final stages of World War I, Frederick Charles Von Hesse was elected as the Finnish King. He never left his domain however and after the finnish civil war the country adopted a republican constitution. Let's say that he abdicates leaving his son as the duchy of hesse and leaves for...
