Hi there,
There is something that interest me for quite some time now. I have read Marios "Austria Inside" and started wondering what could have happened if the german unification suceeded already in 1848. After i did some Research, i concluded that there are no good (in my opinion) timelines (that i found) about that topic.
I find the lack of such timelines disturbing.
Therefore i tried to create my own.
Disclaimer: Firstly i am german. My english can be rough sometimes. Secondly i am a historically interested Person, but haven't studied it. Most of my knowledge derivates from Wikipedia. So if you notice discrepancies, please tell my. I will try to adjust the TL.
Goal: With this timeline i aim to describe a world where the Paulskrichen Parlament suceeds in crowning a prussian emporer of a united (Great-)Germany.
Premise (probably a bit strange): In 1807 when Heinrich vom und zum Stein became Staatsminster of Prussia, he also overtakes the education of ten year old Prince Wilhelm (William). Wilhelm takes this training in addition to his Military tuition (which is a bit reduced compared to OTL). The Prince remains under Steins Hands until 1808. During the year he gets in contact with liberal opinions and modern politics. Just before Stein has to take his leave, he give Wilhelms education in the Hands of Wilhelm von Humboldt. Humboldt arrives at the end of 1808. Until 1817 Wilhelm ist trained by Humboldt and later (mainly in the Military ways) by Johann von Brause.
He visits Weimar serveral times (in the Name of his father) between 1810 and 1814, etablishing a sort of friendship with Carl Friedrich and gaining respect for Grandduke Karl August.
During this years Wilhelm grows up be am Military talented and scientific interested man, influenced by liberal and "aufklärerischen" ideas.
He marries Augusta von Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach 1824 after his father prohibited a marriage with Elisa Radziwill a year earlier. The couple continues to visit Weimar often, so also in early march on 1848.
