It shall rise again, like the French EmpireThis thread dead?
Nope. I plan on eventually publishing an update.This thread dead?
Yeah I have a lot of things on my plate at the moment.Nah, I think our Basileus is just busy.
Oui! I think the next update(s) will likely cover Iberia/Latin America, so I'm doing some research for that as well.It shall rise again, like the French Empire
Not happening. Most likely, Napoleon II was a Catholic marrying Protestant, so one of them has to convert. And also, no Frenchmen would accept being under British sovereignty, especially during an age of NationalismWaiting for the update patiently. You are a very good writer. Anyways I had this foolish and insane idea that Napoleon II might marry Queen Victoria. I mean, he is eight years older than her, but maybe some diplomats wanted a Franco-British union( I know this idea has zero percent chance). Anyways I hope that u can send the update as soon as possible!
Its in the works. I'm just waiting to publish it after my finals end in a few weeks.Waiting for the update patiently.
There might be some weird romanticized idea of a Franco-British Empire in some circles as this period. I'm thinking that for Britain the 19th Century would be called the Victorian Era while for France its the Second Napoleonic Age.Anyways I had this foolish and insane idea that Napoleon II might marry Queen Victoria.

Napoleon having a "superior" title of Emperor might insist that the other party convert instead.Most likely, Napoleon II was a Catholic marrying Protestant, so one of them has to convert.
True. Though the Quebecois question does complicate the issue.And also, no Frenchmen would accept being under British rule
This will be great! Hope to see it soon!Its in the works. I'm just waiting to publish it after my finals end in a few weeks.

It would likely be revolving discussions about a scenario where England won the Hundred YearsThis Anglo-French union would definitely be a more prevalent Anglo concept
I think it might be something a bit different as it would be published by a more French publisher in a vastly different world than ttl. Plus with every Emperor adopting the regnal name "Napoleon" in honor of Napoleon I, I don't think it would fit in protocol to so openly use the monarch's name for a consumer product. For a more modern example, in Japan, mentions of the throne, or the Emperor are considered taboo.Now I'm imagining this timeline's Victoria 2 being called Napoleon II 2.
True though Quebec isn't the only French speaking part of North America in the 19th Century.Quebec was the most loyal part of Canada, well, to Britain they were, I doubt that they are going to try and rock the boat.
Glad you like it! The new update should be coming sometime today or in the next few days.I'm looking forward to your next update....
I'm not sure if I'll write such a tl. Though that does seem interesting. I'm not really familiar with late Middle Ages England/France, so I'd have to do a lot of research for that.AND a TL involving England winning the HYW and an Anglo-French Union
Its funny how close he was to conquering England.*French Historians:Laughs in Louis the Lion
I admitIts funny how close he was to conquering England.
Yeah, he only lost because John Lackland died just at the wrong time of dysentery.Its funny how close he was to conquering England.
i laughed for 5 minutes because what i read was" Napoleon Tutù" and was imaginating Napoleon II dressed for a classic dance opera.Now I'm imagining this timeline's Victoria 2 being called Napoleon II 2.
Well, that's a mental image I never knew I needed until nowi laughed for 5 minutes because what i read was" Napoleon Tutù" and was imaginating Napoleon II dressed for a classic dance opera.

Funny enough I could see the British somehow pull this off as a form of anti-Napoleonic propaganda after Napoleon II makes his opening moves on the continent.Well, that's a mental image I never knew I needed until now
your jokes are fine as well. So many memes come to mind when I think of some of the later developments in this timeline I'm planning.That was kind of the joke, that and the redundancy, at least I now know I'm not totally useless at humour.
Is this a reference to something?Everyone needs a miniature dancing "Son to the God of war" moving around in their head to a catchy jingle.
Is this a reference to something?
Almost certainly not, given butterflies.I have a question would we still see the revolt of 1857 in India?
While Napoleon II will try to incorporate Roman aesthetics into his government/propaganda, I don’t think the pagan references would really work. He’s more likely try to bring up Carolingian imagery/concepts to sort of tie himself to Charlemagne and his father.I was trying to take a jab at that, but my sleep deprived, addled, and headache riddled mind instead shortened it down so far that it's essentially unintelligible to any of it's original meaning.
Ah yes the Sepoy Mutiny. It’s hard to say tbh as I haven’t planned that far ahead. It’s honestly though a bit sad in my view despite me being Indian-America my knowledge of earlier Indian history is pretty lacking compared to Medieval or European history. I’ll probably need to do some heavy research for this though.I have a question would we still see the revolt of 1857 in India?
Well not necessarily. The tensions between the Indians and the foreign British administrators were building up by this point. The issue of the ammunition cartridges being sacrilegious to both Hindus and Muslims was more or less the spark that lit the whole powder-keg alight. And depending on some pod’s the revolt could have potentially been much worse than otlAlmost certainly not, given butterflies.
