French Victory in Seven Years’ War: No American Revolution? I have sometimes seen that a French victory in the Seven Years’ War or French and Indian War would have prevented the American Revolution. The logic behind this is that with a French potentially enemy presence so close to the American...

Supposing that in order to return some of the old status quo a proposal is made to restore some of the old Ecclesiastical States in Germany that were part of the old HRE. What would be the effects of these states still being a part of Germany? How would social and religious dynamics work? How...

It feels like there are many patterns that seem to repeat infinitely among America timelines. Events that occur or have their analogues in most timelines concerning the United States. Absences of such an event rarely occurs unless said absence is the divergence. I am also guilty of this...

I was thinking recently, when thinking about the topic of a British revolution of what would be the impacts in Scotland? Let's say that Britain has a communist revolution around 1919. I'm not sure how it could happen but let's just say maybe the Germans win WW1 or something like that. That's not...

In 1858 Italian Felice Orsini attempted to kill Napoleon III,according to him a republican revolution would break out that would expand to other countries including Italy.What would happen if he succeeds in killing emperor?I think republican revolution would not happen,in fact this would lead to...

the modern era is all about determined revolutionaries making their mark on the world (well, it’s fun to read about it, in any case) In this thread, I would like to challenge anyone to cause a determined revolutionary, who failed (and maybe faded into obscurity?) IOTL, to succeed in another...

Point of Divergence: parliament does not stop funding Great Britain and Great Britain regains popular support for the war. British forces battle United States forces to a stalemate in 1783 and in 1784 the fighting stops but without a peace treaty, truce, and/or even an armistice. The American...

During the French Revolution Louis XVI and his family attempted to escape to the fairly young French colony of Australie, (barely 70 thousand people strong). But during his escape one of the shipwrights identified him and his family, and alerted the Authorities, eventually leading to his...

So, I was just thinking about an alternate outcome for the 1848 Revolutions and I was wondering how plausible the scenario is, potential PoDs, and and how it might affect the future of Europe. The results of the Revolutions are: Constitutional monarchy, either Legitimist or Orleanist, in...

"RFK announces presidential candidacy" - Headline of the Washington Post, 11th December 1967 "Kennedy is plausible. He's not a Johnson or Humphrey, he's not tied to that [Johnson's] administration, the American people will rally around him, he is the one of the few men in this campaign to lead...

La révolution d'avril April 25th, 1917 The Nivelle Offensive which started 9 days prior but to no avail so far. Three years into WW1 and the war seemed still far from done, "Home by Christmas" is a joke but makes no one laugh. This reality falls hardest on no one more than the French Army...

I'm not sure about the exact POD but say the Great war drags on for another year causing mass discontent with successful revolutions in Germany, Hungary, Slovakia, Ireland, Spain, Finland, Sweden, and Bulgaria. Further revolutions occur in Argentina, South Africa, and Persia. The Communist...

Let just say that first English Civil War happened like OTL, but while Commonwealth is estabilished, leaders or anti-royalist opposition decide that Charles Stuart, former King of England should'nt be executed (let just say that they don't want to make martyr out of him) but instead he should...

Unité 14th, July, 1870 Paris, the Second French Empire Alexandre Marchand could feel the sweat trickling down his back as he stood motionless in the Paris summer heat. The oppressive sun beat down on the industrial city as it's citizens went about their lives having no idea what was brewing...

(Disclaimer: I do not support any form of terrorism, nor any conspiracy theories) There have been a lot of secret societies in history, that used paramilitary, were religious or ideological, or was subject of conspiracy theories. Examples includes the Sons of Liberty, Fenian Brotherhood...
