Charles VI being a claimant to the Spanish throne had a birthright to the Spanish Empire. In the end, he had to give up his dream of ruling the Spanish Empire. But what if Charles got New France as compensation of renouncing his claim to the Spanish throne? An Empire for an Empire. New France...

I finally have enough to start posting my revised timeline! Most of the majors changes are not going to occur until Part IV. But there are a few minor ones before that. The revised timeline is following the same format. Footnotes (marked with lower case letters) will be written in ATL as will...

What if France and Austria were victorious in the Seven Years War? Many years back there was a TL in development here centered around the French winning the Seven Years War. That timeline has been defunct for a long time and the author long-since banned. It really grabbed me, though and I've...

"While we had France for an enemy, Germany was the scene to employ and baffle her arms." - William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham The European theater of the Seven Years' War was almost entirely centered around Prussia, the mighty Iron Kingdom against whom three European Great Powers - France...

(Based off old threads I've made years ago, including this and this, and another dead thread I've read, this, and stuff on deviantart, like this and this. This idea is a bit unrealistic, but bear with me. I may make this part of a timeline) What if, the Americans were able to capture to Quebec...

Feargus O'Sullivan at CityLab took a look at a new documentary, If New York Was Called Angouleme. What if the site of New York City was colonized by the French in the early 16th century, following on Verrazzano's visit? I am willing to bet that the effects of a French settlement of the Eastern...

So, France gave the US a LOT of help during the American Revolution, to the point where it put France in debt. France also used to control the land west of the Proclamation Line of 1763, as part of New France. So let's say as a sort of repayment, the US gives it back, effectively limiting...

The Alliance Falls in Blenheim The Triple French Attack Deciding the Battle of Blenheim In the midst of the battle, Clérambault remains calm about the persistent attacks on Blenheim, and does not dispatch the reserve battalions. With this, Cutts proceeds with the third attack on the village...

Well, i've recently had a lot of free time, so i've decided to start a new timeline. But i'm in doubt which to do, so i made this thread. This thread will be to timeline-planning and the poll about which timeline i will make. Now i'll explain the options: The Blood in the Rivers: Amazon Jidai...

The French and their allies win the Seven Years War and the French Empire becomes the biggest and most influential empire in human history like the British Empire in our timeline. Here are the point of departures to this timeline. When the Seven Years War first started the French had a lot of...

Is it possible for the exiled Acadians to head someplace elsewhere in the Louisiana colony that isn't present day Louisiana or stay in the British colonies where they were exiled to. Like for example they go the American Midwest part of the Louisiana colony or they stay in the British colonies...

France like in real life loses the Seven Years War and in this alternate timeline the French colony of Louisiana is ceded to Britain not Spain. All the French Canadians (Both Acadiens and Quebecois) are exiled from North America thus resulting in the French Canadians heading to France for refuge...

During the French - Indian War (1754 - 1763) the Commander in Chief of the French military forces Louis-Joseph de Montcalm-Grozon Montcalm's fundamentally disagreed over the choice of strategy with the Governor General of the colony, Pierre de Rigaud, Marquis de Vaudreuil-Cavagnial. Montcalm...

I was about to leave out the word earlier, but then remembered Haiti. More generally, what's the earliest possible date the French could have won the Franco-Spanish war? What's the furthest south of Fort Pentagouet and Acadia the French could have colonized the continental North Atlantic coast...

What if the Spanish colonized Mexico instead of Canadá, and what if the British instead colonized Canadá instead of Mexico. How would this affect the history of the USA and the world? Would the Spanish interaction with the native Aztecs in Mexico have been as bad as the Spanish interaction with...

So, we know that British Loyalists migrated rather steadily in the wake of the American Revolutionary War to Canada, where they made a major impact on the demographics of the formerly Francophone region. This was largely because of their departures or expulsions from the 13 Colonies. In a...

So if France somehow comes out of the American Theatre of the Seven Years War victorious* and Montcalm's valiant defence of the colony makes the King more interested in peopling it, how many settlers would they be able to ferry over before the next major conflict kicks off (for simplicity's sake...

Hey guys! After years of lurking and an aborted attempt last year, here's first (real) attempt at an alternate timeline. Wish me luck! In the interest of full disclosure, I must say that I am French Canadian, but fear not: this isn't going to be a Quebecwank (or a Francewank for that matter)...

Imagine a scenario where the the following things happen: Settlement of New France begins in the 1540s, and due to further colonization and natural population growth, New France attains a population greater than the Thirteen Colonies by the 1700s (read Earlier Permanent Settlement of New France...
