Hello, forgive me if this has been previously discussed but what do we think could happen to make the Frankfurt Parliment more successful? Could a liberal republican Germany be formed in 1848? I was thinking that perhaps this would require a takeover of one of the more liberal states like Baden...

Don't think it's possible but it could be a fun scenario. Napoleon II does not catch pneumonia in 1832 and lives. Archduke Franz Karl, in a fit of rage following the birth of yet another daughter on July 30th 1833, dies in a freak accident by falling down the stairs and breaking his neck...

On paper, the Ottoman Empire had many similarities to the Austrian one: it was a vast, old entity full of internal problems and restive minorities within its territory. But while the Habsburgs almost fell apart during the Sprintime of Nations, the Ottomans came out of that turbulent time mostly...

What if the United Kingdom of the Netherlands stays alive in 1830 because there is no revolution. How would the development of the UKN have gone? How would the French minority in the country have been integrated into the kingdom, would the Constitution of Thorbecke still be there?. Would the...

IOTL, in 1848, the new Dutch Constitution was created. Because of this constitution, the monarch of the Netherlands has almost no real power. But what if in an alternate timeline, this never happened. What if the Thorbeckian Constitution of 1848 was never accepted. As a result, king William...

Hi everyone! I have seen some threads popping up recently, regarding alternate Italian unification, or non-unification scenarios. Since this is the topic that interests me the most, I thought it was worth it to try and make a comprehensive discussion thread on the topic. Should you choose to...

During the Revolutions of 1848, Italian patriots rose up across Lombardy-Venetia in order to expel the Austrians from Italy and were joined by Piedmontese and Tuscan troops along with many volounteers but their efforts were ultimately in vain and by 1849 Austrian rule had been restored and the...
