So, let's say that during the 19th century, Russia has reformist tsars that seek to modernize Russia and dispel the perception of it being backwards. They focus on industrializing the Empire, making the populace educated through increased literacy, etc. The Empire possibly becomes more Democratic due to the intelligent populace demanding it, but the tsar still has great power. So, with all this how does history go by. Do the world wars still go on? If they do how does it go? Does a stronger Russia be more assertive in the great game? etc.
