I have been thinking about starting up a new timeline for some time now. The only question is, what should I write about? Like RoIF, I want to make this timeline centered around France, specifically in the 18th/19th centuries. Though it won't be all about France, the focus is mostly the France of that period. RoIF has a lot going for it, and I will slowly, slowly continue it, but it has lost a bit of its credibility. I thought I planned out and thought through things enough- quite evidently, I have not, which is one of the reasons why I am making a new TL. So, the point is, what do you guys think my new timeline should be about:
1. A Bourbon France that manages to defeat its rivals and survive the French Revolution, staying as one of the world's strongest powers through the 19th century.
2. France under the Orleanists, better known as the July Monarchy, surviving through the Revolution of 1848 and managing to recapture the glory that France once possessed.
3. Same thing RoIF was based on; imperial France surviving through the 19th century and beyond.
4. Other (please specify details)
One quick note, I was going to put this over in the Help section, but I find that it would be better for me to post it here because I can see the reactions and opinions of the Before 1900 community and see them discuss which option is the most interesting, so I posted it here. Thanks in advance!
