Once again i am looking for a POD but this time i have some requirements.
-late 18th century or early/middle 19th century
-preferably a German American or Persian POD
- i am attempting to either creat a smaller US or a long lasting german empire or a returning persian empire, hopefully there are some PODs that could acomplish one of these
So can anyone give me one?

That's frankly not very specific at all. What are you attempting to acomplish? Knowing that would give us a better idea of where to steer you.
 
Also, please note this board is the place to discuss 20th century PoDs. You want the pre-1900 forum for these.

The bolded option's a little interesting, since you're asking for a PoD prior to the existence of a German Empire at all -- but if you want an earlier Empire, and can make it last, I'd say having William IV accept the crown in 1849 would do just fine.

Ill look that one up but i still want more suggestions

And ill leave the thread here since i just dont have that much time
 
Well, if you can remove Wilhelm II (to replace him with a better man), and possibly have a different (or no) WWI, there's nothing getting in the way of the survival of the Second Reich.

Not to say it would be all smooth sailing - assuming the Great Depression occurs at all like OTL (whether in the 30s or not is not the point), things will be "interesting", but England for instance survived.

What do you mean by a returning Persian empire? Returning to what? To where?

That would probably be difficult, given the position of the Ottoman Empire. Having a shah is pretty easy though - just keep that institution going, which with a POD in the period you're talking about is not hard.

The ugly one, in other words.
