Whenever the French Revolution happens in timelines, it tends to go in directions very similar to what happened in our timeline. It seems to be such a chaotic event could spill into a huge myriad of possibilities. I like to imagine alternate history as a tree of possible paths, which split into many branches, with those branches splitting, and those ones splitting too. It seems to me that with the French Revolution there are a LOT of splits in the potential paths, and those splits could go in very extreme directions.
I would love to hear people's thoughts and theories about paths it could take, particularly if they are odd (while still somewhat plausible) ones that we didn't go near in OTL. Using the tree analogy again, I'm not just interested in the first splits from our timeline, but the splits off them so that it creates something very different indeed.
