romanovs

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.

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...

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...

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)

In 1918, the Bolshevik army assassinated the Romanov family, the former royal family of Russia. However, due to his young age and fearing for their image, they spared the youngest son of the family, Alexei, who suffered from hemophilia. He was, however, forced to watch his family's execution...

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...

IOTL, it seems that there were negotiations between Napoleon Bonaparte and Alexander I of Russia for a marriage alliance that would involve Napoleon getting a Russian princess. The first proposal, involving Ekaterina Pavlovna, was made at the Congress of Erfurt in 1808. It was rejected, and...

So, @President Roosevelt's TL got me thinking about the differences between the Petrine Reforms and the earlier Feodorian Reforms (well, that and some posts made in my Saxon Hercules thread). However, also the instability that plagued Russia in the 1680s and 1690s (and one could argue, all the...

Of the twenty Romanov Tsars five died violent deaths (Ivan VI, Peter III, Paul I, Alexander II, and Nicholas II). Star Alexander III The Tsar of All The Russias also known as Tsar liberator, was assassinated by a bomb on March 13 (Old Style Date March 1), 1881 in St. Petersburg, Russia. Born...

So I think everyone here basically knows who Peter the Great was but I don't know if all that many people remember his older brother and co-ruler Ivan V. Ivan was the youngest son of Tsar Alexei and his first wife Maria Miloslavskaya and was basically the Carlos II of Russia (physically and...

As title says, could it happen and how do you think it would work? I guess it would be possible if Alexander I have two legitimate surviving sons (say Alexander jr. and Paul), and wants both of them to be monarchs. Alexander, unlike his brother Nicholas, never bothered to crown himself as King...

Hello! I will be starting a new timeline about what if Sweden won the Great Northern War. The timeline will be told through a series of fictional articles and book excerpts from this timeline. To be honest I am not an expert on this war but I hope that doesn't impede my writing. I am a very...

Hello all. This TL is written partially as the reboot of Duchess of Cumberland TL, however it will feature different PoD and slightly different cast of characters. Pretty much it is inspired by this discussion, though I decided on a slighlty different PoD/set of PoDs. So, we are starting our...

Hey guys, this is my first thread and I'm unsure if this is the correct subform, but I recently was thinking of this question and I wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts. Nicholas II, the last Tsar of Russia, famously had 5 children: Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia, and hemophiliac Alexei...

OTL, a week after the Imperial family was murdered (17 July 1918) the town of Ekaterinburg fell to the Whites (25 July 1918). Is it possible for the Czechslovak Legion to get there early. I don't say that they would ncessarily rescue the emperor etc (as the Bolsheviks falsely believed), but I...

So I was wondering about the Alternatives for the assassination of the Romanovs, and something I thought of which historically isn't too relevant, but I was wondering. What would happen if the Soviets had filmed the execution of the Romanov family of Tsar Nicholas II and his family? I was...

There is a new novel that has just been published that examines the possibilities of a Russia in which the Revolution of 1917 had not happened, and Alexei (Tsar Nicholas' hemophiliac son), had become tsar...

What if Nicholas II had married Hélène of Orléans? , What changes would an empress raised by the French Liberals bring to Russia? Will it help the Romanovs not have hemophilia carriers for the future? And another thing, As the Emperor Alexander III and Empress Maria Fedorovna would achieve this...

First off, let's ignore all the modern-day borders and imagine Russia as it once was in 1917. How plausible is it for a divided Russia like the above to form, with a socialist or communist "Red" Russia holding the west and it's industries, and an eastern "Romanov" Russia headed by a member of...
