So, a popular story is that after the collapse of the Second Empire the Count of Chambord was going to be crowned King of France. However, he refused the crown when the country would not adopt the white Bourbon flag, even after a compromise of the tricolor defaced with the coat of arms was proposed. What if a different compromise flag was proposed let's say the blue flag with white cross (similar to the Quebec flag)? This design had historical significance could it have made any difference?
