  1. Good British or French Timelines

    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...

  2. Could Carthage Keep Naval Dominance?

    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...

  3. Ottoman Empire vs Sassanid Empire

    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...

  4. The Revival of Ravenna

    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...

  5. The forgotten men of history.

    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...

  6. The Western Flame Shines Bright

    Nevermind, ignore this post. Lol

  7. Rise of Imperial France: Through the 19th Century and Beyond V2

    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...

  8. Rise of Imperial France: Through the 19th Century and Beyond V2

    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...

  9. The Kingdom of Purity: A French TL

    That was kinda quick, but still pretty nice. :D

  10. The Kingdom of Purity: A French TL

    Hm. Interesting. I do really like the name of your TL.

  11. Could the Bourbon Restoration last?

    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...

  12. Can Napoleon invade Britain via hot air balloon

    That's impossible, but cool. Imagine the Battle of Britain, Napoleon-style.

  13. The Nation, The Law, The King

    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...

  14. WI:No Spanish colonization of the Philippines

    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...

  15. Can Napoleon invade Britain via hot air balloon

    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

  16. Can Napoleon invade Britain via hot air balloon

    The hot air balloons of this era had just been developed and were extremely heavily reliant upon the winds. The rough English Channel would have thrashed the French balloons about, and almost all of his men would either A. fall into the ocean, B. crash into England, or C. drift away from the...

  17. Can Napoleon invade Britain via hot air balloon

    Napoleon, though a military genius and very charismatic, inspiring leader, was an epic idiot when it came to things involving navies, ships, logistics, supplies, etc. He underestimated the Russian winter as well as the rough Spanish terrain. He also thought that his admirals were making up silly...

  18. The Nation, The Law, The King

    The great successes at Quebec and Quiberon Bay allowed the French to consolidate their foothold in North America. With the French Army now finally ready to fight against the British, King Louis XV ordered the mainland troops to station themselves near Brest. The British soon saw this as a threat...

  19. The Nation, The Law, The King

    France versus Britain Before the defeat of Prussia, most of fighting that was fought between the French and the British were small colonial skirmishes. However, after the defeat of Prussia, France was able to turn itself towards the British, with all of it's soldiers and sailors available...

  20. The Nation, The Law, The King

    This is a new TL that I am starting up; the main focus is the Kingdom of France through the 18th and 19th centuries. There will also be updates about other countries throughout the world, though the main focus is the rise and survival of a royalist France. By the way, the name of this TL comes...
