Hey, first off, sorry if this is the wrong forum for posting a question like this. I don't know where else to put it.
I'm looking for good timelines that are either very British-centric or very French-centric. This includes Britwank/Francewank TLs. I've already read "Pax Napoleonica" and "God...
In the First Punic War, Rome was at war with Carthage. They had only just finished conquering (most of) the Italian peninsula, and had basically no navy. In the middle of the war, however, they got a hold of a Carthaginian ship and copied it to make huge amounts of their own ships. The...
So, in OTL Sassanid (Sasanian) Persia was destroyed when it was absorbed into the Abbasid Caliphate. Flash forward many years and we have the Ottoman Empire in control of the region (plus Anatolia).
So we know how the Ottomans did when it came to their empire. They defeated the Eastern Romans...
I'm sure Narses was going to be a great general, whether or not he was an eunuch. I just wonder how Narses will consolidate the new WRE. By this time, I believe he is already 50. You didn't say whether or not he has a son, so having an heir might be a problem for him, unless he adopts someone...
Blas de Lezo, a Spanish admiral of the 18th century. He is best remembered for his stunning victory at the Battle of Cartagena de Indias. It was fought in 1741 between the British and the Spanish. It was a battle in which, iirc, 6 Spanish ships, and around 3k Spanish soldiers decisively defeated...
In the first version of ROIF, someone said something similar to what you are saying right now. So I'll quote my response to them.
It's not like a bunch of royalists joining Napoleon resolves all the issues in France. Besides, in OTL, lots of royalists did join Napoleon. He just didn't use...
Hello everyone. I've been hard at work for the past couple of weeks or so, improving and expanding upon my previous TL, Rise of Imperial France. This version will have most of its predecessor's problems and implausibility errors fixed. Also, this one won't stop around the 1820's- I plan to...
This is one of my favorite topics. I like to think that, if the French had went ahead and scored a few major victories against the British during the American Revolutionary War (Yorktown was amazing, but it was a joint Franco-American thing. Chesapeake was quite spectacular, however.), then they...
24 Years of Peace: 1763-1787
Twenty four years of peace and prosperity followed the immediate end of the Six Years' War. The war, though a disaster for Great Britain and Prussia, pushed for the two to reform their militaries. In Prussia, the loss of Silesia led to the rapid decline of the...
At the time of the Spanish colonization of the Philippines, France and England were too busy either A. setting up colonies in America or B. preparing to colonize India. I think the most likely nation to colonize the Philippines instead, out of your choices, are the Portuguese. If not the...
Let's be honest with ourselves here.
ANY powerful European power (France in the 1700-1800s, Germany in the 1900s, even Spain in the 1500-1700s) invading the British Isles is cool. :p
