WI July revoulution in France failed?

So what happens if The revoulution fails and The Duc de Orleons is executed, the rebels executed, and opposition silenced. What happens to the Monarchy and does Charles X Remain on the throne...
 
Charles X had to go by 1830, and it was too soon for a republic. So the duke of Orléans was an obvious solution. The only alternative I can think of is the following: Charles X and Louis XIX (his son) both abdicate in favor of the Duke of Bordeaux (Charles X's grandson and Louis XIX's nephew) Henri V (aged 10). Louis-Philippe is proclaimed Lieutenant-General of the Kingdom - that's what actually happened in OTL.

The trick is to make Louis-Philippe accept this appointment - or to make him unable to refuse. He would then be Regent for Henri V. The Charter would be amended as it was in OTL. Not sure History would be radically different after that, but the dramatic split in the French nobility between Legitimists and Orleanists would be avoided. The end result could be the establishment of a stable contitutional monarchy in France.
 
What your man said. If Charles X was Charles X, he was going to steer a collision course with the legislature, and the best he could have done was realise he was a-goner earlier and saved something for his line rather than making a bungled attempt to shut down the liberals.
 
I think the revolution could have been put down.
As often with french revolutions only Paris had actually revolted.
If not most of the royalist forces had been absent due to the war in Algeria or if the court had reacted quicker and more decesive (maybe boosting the morals of the guard by having a member of the royal familiy return to Paris), they could have put down the revolt.

The result would have been a reactionary dictatorship (think of an earlier Franco-Spain) lasting 3-20 years until the next revolutionary attemp or a liberal monarch.

As France would be closer to the holy alliance it should have supported the Carlists in 1833 giving them a chance to win.

I think the Belgian Revolution would still happen as tensions there were allready high.

We might see the French liberal emmigrants become some sort of revolution-experts (like the Polish emmigrants) that show up every were in Europe were the people revolt.

Further consequences might be a slower french economic development and colonial expansion.

Pretty much agree with this.

Only difference, though, is that I'd expect an increased colonial expansion - foreign policy successes are often used to cover up domestic unrest.
 
I agree with above.. To those who dissagree.... This is AH, their were so many blunders commited by the royalists it was not funny. In fact in many cases the royalists would have won... So if the royalists win expect Charles to ban the parliment because it revolted against him and execute his brother. I expect he recalls troops from Algiers so if Dissedents arrive all the Algerian troops now in France destroy the dissidents. Also the Austrians would help because with Phillipe dead the revouluionaries have to declare a republic, Implausable IMO because Austria would intervene because it would not like this act.




Another option is simple. In otl the Ordinances passd by Charles were outrageous but Parliment was willing to compromise had he gotten rid of those ordinences. Revoulution would not have occured, have Charles realize that the only way hecan get back at those Bourgoise scum is if he takes help from the average workers. The reason the revolt got so large was because buisnessses refused to run leading to thousands unemployed inParis and so these angry mobmen decided to shit on the king. Only those events could have led to this event occuring so it is plausable to butterfly it away.
