  1. Spain stays out of the 7 years war

    What are the immediate short term and medium term results likely to be (say turn of century). Carlos, for whatever reason does not gain the throne in 1760. Ferdinand persists on the throne for a time yet and the Wall ministry remains in charge of Spain. Does this hasten the end of the war...

  2. Stanislaw vs Frederick II 1733 on their own

    So I been thinking some about the PLC and the succession crisis/war from 1733-35. If for whatever reason Russia and Austria were constrained from acting overtly to support Frederick (Augustus III). Stanislaw probably stands his best chance of actually winning and maintaining his throne...

  3. 1726 Anglo-Spanish War

    OTL this was a Ltd engagement to which the Spanish eventually abandoned their attempts to regain Gibralter and Minorca. The Empire was reluctant in its support of Spain due to British diplomacy. Assume instead that Charles VI stays the course and commits more fully to the Spanish cause. Can...

  4. Spanish Succession pre 1700

    Prior to the Bourbon's female`s could ascend to the throne of Spain. However, with two competing claims I am trying to determine who would have the most legal right to ascend under the following set of conditions The sovereign (King) has two legitimate children during his lifetime...

  5. 1744: No protestant wind

    During the WAS, the French invasion is timed differently. Instead of February and the storms in the Channel that thwarted the invasion attempt it goes off a bit later say late March /April. by all accounts the French invasion force is likely to outnumber the home defence forces around London...

  6. Spanish non-entry into the seven years war

    How long can it actually last. Even if Charles III does not inherit immediately, Ferdinand IV survives Barbara's death, is the usually quoted reason, so the Wall ministry continues unimpeded. For sake of argument we'll give him another 20 to 25 years. Is it realistic to suppose they remain...

  7. Genoa and Aix-la Chapelle

    the Treaty of Aix la Chapelle ended the WAS. the treaty was presented, dictated by the French and English after their own negotiations at Breda over the course of the last two years, without consulting any of their allies, particularly the Austrians. Should those earlier Anglo-French...

  8. 3rd Northern War divergences

    Its been discussed before, but not to any real effect it seems, Charles XII dying from his wounds at Poltava. The prospects for a final end to the conflict are probably there. what are the most likely courses in Eastern Europe...and the ?West? Caveats: Sweden is only at War with...

  9. D'Anville Expedition a Success.

    What the Expedition had been given more support and resources from the start, such that fitting out is swifter. the Expedition departs somewhat earlier than OTL and is not beset by the storms of OTl that gave it such an arduous journey. On arrival off Nova Scotia..the expedition is not as...

  10. Greater Burgundy....

    departure was 1474. Put aside that this is a result from an EU III campaign and assume that the conditions that made it possible... attempts By the French Kings to centralize and break the power of its remaining Dukes. opposed by the dukes of Burgundy in alliance with England /Aragon and...

  11. mary of Burgundy and Charles, duke of Berry and Guyenne

    this was planned but the Duke died, so if we assume he does not die in 1472 and instead marries Mary despite th opposition of his brother Louis "the spider king" How does this eventually effect the courseof events? One assumes that Charles will be around to aid Charles the Bold with some...

  12. Alternate Southern South America

    Is this proposition at least remotely possible And how would it likely develop post 1820: Some background: Spanish Borbon's will descend from Filipe Antonío, Duke of Calabria and not mentally retarded in this TL and more in the mold of his grandfather Phillip and the "Sun King" Louis XIV of...

  13. Spain in the 2nd Coalition

    Just a random thought, assume that Spain does not take its pro-France turn and remains allied with Britain in the 2nd coalition. Do they add any measure of strength to the allies against the French republic. Can they make a difference of any kind? any thoughts appreciated. Specifically is...

  14. Gravina vs Villeneuve

    Regarding naval affairs in the Napoleonic Wars..I have come accross a number of suppositions regarding a loss by Nelson at Trafalgar and whether or not amphibious invasion . This is not to debate wheter or not that is possible..simply to discuss the possible outcomes for the Fr/Sp Fleet if they...

  15. Isabella II a boy instead

    Idle thoughs here... There has been much pondering of late on Victoria being Victor and the consequences for Britain.. Assume instead the Maria Christina manages to grant Feridinand a son and heir to the remains of the Spanish Empire. Assume he still courts the liberals within Spain much...

  16. Prussia humiliated and dismantled

    I have read that during the aftermath of the fourth coalition that napoleon had considered dismantling Prussia...and that only the diplomacy of the Tsar saved Prussia from such a fate...so lets assume that he does go ahead with this...and that the areas that contained French garrisons are also...

  17. Karlskrona suffers a similiar fate to Copenhagen at the hands of the British?

    Tsar Paul is not killed in his assassination attempt, or the attempt is perhaps delayed. Query, do the British carry on towards Russia after Copenhagen and will they repeat at Karlskrona an attack on the Swedish armory and naval base there that they did at Copenhagen against the Danes...

  18. Alternate States and provinces.

    Map Possible or no, circa 2007 major departures: Charles IV is more like his father and Grandfather...Floridablanca does not fall from power in spain in the late 18thC and will see Spain through the French Revolutionary period. Patriot/Tory violence is more pronounced in the...

  19. Andronicus Assassinated

    Okay i iknow this is another ERE post but hey... 1152...Eudoxia's brothers successfully capture and kill Andronicus... how does this affect the later reign of Alexius II and Agnes of France. Can he reach some accomodation with the Aristocracy and The Bulgars/Vlachs that will allow...
