In 1830 the July Revolution forced Charles X of France, and His heir Louis-Antoine to abdicate. They did so in favor of their grandson and nephew,respectively, Henri, Duc de Bordeaux and Comte de Chambord. Louis Philippe Duc d'Orléans, was designated Lieutenant général du royaume or Regent of France, and was to announce to the popularly elected Chamber of Deputies Henri's succession. Louis Philippe did not do this, in order to increase his own chances of succession. As a consequence, because the chamber was aware of Louis Philippe's liberal policies and of his popularity with the masses, they proclaimed Louis Philippe, who for eleven days had been acting as the regent for his small cousin, as the new French king, displacing the senior branch of the House of Bourbon.

My Question is what if Louis-Philippe had stayed loyal to the House of Bourbon and announced him as King or a different Regent was named, Like Louis XVI's daughter, Marie Therese-Charlotte? How would Henri V's reign look? Would France still be ruled by the Bourbons Today? Also, consider the fact that Louis-Philippe's policy's as King contributed to the 1848 revolution in France,which triggered other revolutions in Germany, Austria and Italy so could the entire year of Revolution be avoided?
