what if Prince Louis Mountbatten of Battenberg got his wish to marry Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna of Russia POD is https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/tsar-nicholas-ii-at-versailles.533793/#post-23552226 In 1910, Louis met the Romanov sisters. He later reflected that "they were...

Maud (OTL Queen of Norway) and Nicky were first cousin via their mothers, (Alexandra and Dagamar/Minnie of Denmark). Apparently, she was Alexander III's favorite niece, so that the match isn't completely implausible. Keep in mind, this is a scenario if Nicky and Alix didn't meet at Ella and...

what if Grand Duchess Olga Married Edsel Ford ? After Nicholas II wins WW1. Grand Duchess Olga met Edsel Ford while she accompanied her father to Paris when he came to negotiate at versailles and Edsel Ford came gain experience in international relations necessary to expand his father's...

Let's say Queen Victoria pressures or talks Alix into marrying Prince AV instead of Nicky. Who would the heartbroken Nicholas have married now since she is out of the picture? Helene of Orleans wouldn't have worked either way since Count de Paris and Pope wouldn't allow it.

So I have been reading many threads about if Nicholas II died in 1891 and if his brother, George Alexandrovich, survived his illness and thus became Tsar after AIII in 1894. Would George have been able to save Russia from the revolution? I read that he was the most intelligent and outgoing of...

I am thinking about making alternate history where Tsar Nicholas II's children are granted asylum in Britain which was influenced by Olga marrying Prince Edward of Wales prior to WWI (specifically between November 1913 to April 1914). Would her being married to him, make Geroge V more pressed on...

what if Tsar Nicholas II at Versailles? how would he influence that treaty? can black sea become russian lake? POD is that with support of various generals he retains power and puts down the february revolution without division in the military and launches the July offensive(Kerensky offensive)...

March 1918: The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk is signed. In it, is a secret clause guaranteeing the survival of the Romanov women. This being: the Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna, her four daughters, Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia, and the Grand Duchess Serge. May 1918: The Imperial Family are now...

Thinking of using this as a plot for a future TL. Could Nicholas II fund anti-Soviet movements for the crown perhaps, who could his son and daughters marry? What effect would this have on European history?

Plausibility check : POD 1905 can Nicholas II after coming to realisation after defeat in Russo Japanese war become totalitarian rather than turn democratic like in OTL and build up Russia's war industry's like Stalin did ? He can get funds via debt, high taxes and give Free land beyond Urals to...

So, I just recently discovered that, in the autumn 1900, Nicholas II fell gravely ill with typhoid fever (which to make things worse was also mixed with food poisoning), being in such a bad state at some point that the question of the succession was even discussed, although at the time it was in...

If Nihcolas II wed Margaret of Prussia by never noticing Alix will Wilhelm II prevent the war for his sister? Can the avoid war until Russia industrializes preventing Russian revolution ?

This is an idea that came into my head as I was beginning to create a follow up to my revised 19th century Qing Dynasty timeline. Of course, we don't have to follow that is on of two options I have available regarding the state of China when the Romanovs arrive. 1. A timeline where the 1911...

Early in World War I, it seemed possible that an Entente victory would result in a balkanization of Germany. Russian Tsar Nicholas II and French President Raymond Poincaire both supported the idea, various civilian and military leaders proposed such schemes, and in both countries the media...

Hello everyone on this schedule After some thought on the timeline of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, I decided to rewrite it due to some errors and will write a new timeline of Austria instead. Also because I found out that it was in the wrong place in the forum where it was supposed to be in a...

Let's say Grand Duke Michael becomes tsar in a TL when the Soviet uprising is destroyed / never happens. Since his marriage was morganatic, any children he produced wouldn't inherit the throne. Who then, would succeed him? (consider that Nicholas II and his family are killed in the same way as OTL)

Tsar Alexander III and his sons were never meant to rule Russia. The honor was meant to go to Tsesarevich Nicholas, who died of illness in 1865, only in his twenties. But what if he never got sick, and thus lived to ascend Russia? I doubt he would try for Alexander III's restoration of absolute...

As the tin says, what if the firstborn son of Alexander II survives? For this to happen, let’s assume his trip to Europe doesn’t occur so he doesn’t catch meningitis at age 21. He was more liberal than his younger brother, OTLs Alexander III, so there is a good possibility that he continues...

Delay or prevent the First World War for reasons. How much longer would Nicholas II have lived? Assuming hemophilia costs his son his life, a it was likely to have done were it not for the Revolution in OTL who succeeds him? Might he have yet again changed his designated heir? Could there have...
