The Prussian Revolution: Reborn

I wouldn't be too sure of that.

The army had been very irritated with Fred Wm IV for his action in pulling the troops from Berlin when they were perfectly capable of restoring order had he only let them. Had that bit of foolishness led to his death, an awful lot of his officers - even if too diplomatic to say so out loud - would have privately felt that he'd got just what his stupidity deserved. They'd have led their troops straight back into the capital and "avenged" him with gusto - and a half-armed mob would have been totally powerless against them
This half armed mob has been staging raids and gathering arms for some time now. It's a bit more of a fight than what you are giving them. Even historically, protestors gave the Prussian military a run for its money. I wouldn't assume they'd be so willing to march into Berlin so soon, they will of course with time.

How do you mean "a run for its money"? When was it at the slightest risk of defeat?

I never stated risk of defeat, but there has been historic statemates that have been the basis for many events of this timeline. At the very least a unorganized mob forced the Prussians into long firefights, that would have ended much quicker with what you are proposing. The demonstration in the first post actually occurred, however it failed to achieve such a high death count OTL.

Because FWIV did not wanted to scalated thing and even wanted negotiated, he wanted prussia to got on top when germany was burning, he dissimed frankfurt(with good reason, prussia power would evaporated under that bad constitution) so we might end with prussia becoming a Aristocratic Statocracy when they wonder if bring back a koning or just rule via decree.
 
I had completely forgotten about that conflict in all honesty. Thank you for bringing it up. Sadly I dont think this timeline will last that long for Sweden-Norway to become a reality. I have a larger project in the work. This timeline is simply a filler in a way.
Feel the need to restate this, this timeline is not intended to be anything major. Simply a fun romp through the concept in order to get my footing back in writing before moving on to bigger works.
 
This TL will be going on hiatus yet again, due to another project propping up and school work.

While this project is down, expect another to pop back up. It will be part of a larger TL worked on by many authors in the AH community.

A revival of this timeline may happen around summer, or the concept may be scrapped due to the interest fading.
