seven years war

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...

The French start more sucessful settlements in the 1530s by Jacques Cartier.

Catherine, wife of Czar Peter III (1762-1804), was assassinated in 1762. Rumors tell that Czar Peter III was behind this and it is no secret he hated his wife Catherine. Now Peter III was not a bad Czar. He fought and beat the Danes in 1762-1765. He formed an alliance with Prussia (God knows...

Mostly self-explanatory as per the title. Would it stay in PU with Britain? Would it be awarded to a German noble allied to France? Would it be partitioned?

There was a planned invasion of Britain that France was preparing but due to losses at the Battles of Le Havre, Lagos, and Quiberon Bay it was cancelled. But what in a alternate timeline France did not suffer losses at the Battles of Le Havre, Lagos, and Quiberon Bay and invades Britain. Would...

Of Crafts and Cricket By taqn22 On February 1st, 1707, King Frederick I was born in Hanover. When he was born, he was known merely as "Duke Friedrich Ludwig", solely the Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg. While this title was nothing to scoff at, his later ascension to the throne of Britannia would be...

Without the diplomatic revolution France allies with Prussia and Austria with Britain. Does a conflict like the seven years war still happen?

Few days ago I was talking to a friend about the outbreak of Black Plague and he explained me an interesting theory according to which Plague became less common 'cause of the diffusion of grey rats that substituted black rats (Grey rats' fleas when rats die move to other rats and not to humans...

Let’s say that the Carnatic Wars in the mid 18th Century go differently from OTL, with the effect that Britain does not emerge as the dominant power in the subcontinent (France isn’t kicked off, Bengal isn’t turned into a privatized kingdom, etc). My question here - how does this affect...

Suppose that after the war Austrian succession the the Habsburgs/Habsburg-lorraine fail to regain the imperial crown, say the wittlesbachs manage to hold onto it what are the effects? How do the Wittlesbachs handle the HRE? Do the Habsburg favour a different title in search of more prestige...

Austria and Russia crushes Prussia, Silesia is regained and East Prussia is ceded to Russia. Russia exchanges East Prussia to Courland (and maybe Polish Livonia) with the PLC. Meanwhile France loses it's power in India as OTL, but Britain gives back the French posessions in America in exchange...

OTL, theaters of this war between France and Britain were fought in North America, the West Indies, Senegal, and India -- and in all those theaters, the French lost. Indeed, the First French Colonial Empire, outside of Haiti, was pretty much wiped away by this conflict. So with preferably no...

I've seen a lot of posts talking about France winning the seven years war, but I have yet to see any that mention the effects it would have on the south american nations such as Colombia, Brazil and Argentina.

So, what if Peter III grows up to be a smart and energetic ruler who is actually concerned with the lives of his own people and the success of his own empire and not a socially awkward Fredrick the Great fanboy? The Seven Years War obviously goes very differently, but what else? Does Russia...

Most Seven years war pods focus on Prussia not being so incredibly lucky or the French winning but I have recently become curious as to what would happen if the Russians stayed out of the conflict entirely, perhaps tsarina Elizabeth dies earlier, Bestuzhev is taken out of the picture or which...

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)...

What if Spain never joined in on the Seven Years' War? I'd imagine the only way to do this is to not have the British attack Manila and Havana. With Spain out of the picture, I'd imagine Portugal also would not join the war. What would happen to Louisiana? Considering that the territory was...

King Theodore's Corsica From March to November of 1736, Theodore von Neuhoff, a Westphalian baron, ruled Corsica as its king. Theodore's kingdom is obscure today—and perhaps understandably so, as it existed so briefly. Later writers often dismiss the "Kingdom of Corsica" as farcical and...
