So, here's my idea: in 1808 when Joseph Bonaparte is appointed King of Spain the Kingdom of Naples is not given to Murat, but instead merged with the Kingdom of Italy. OTL the King of Italy was Napoleon, but Eugène de Beauharnais, Napoleon's stepson, was the viceroy and, until the birth of an...

Haiti became the second country in the New World to become independent from a colonial power, and was the first largely Black society to do so. But, that independence was rocky in the early years and was hindered by the refusal of France to recognize Haitian freedom until crippling reparations...

In OTL, after a peace treaty in 1807, Alexander I of Russia and Emperor Napoleon became friends, being cordial with each other, and forming an alliance. This friendship lasted until Russia began to distance themselves from the French, and Napoleon invaded Russia. However before that, supposedly...

Let's say that Josephine and Nappy had an only child, that being a daughter who became very obsessed with her father's military exploits to the point where she wanted to walk in his footsteps as a military leader. (Almost impossible for a woman in that period of time to do, there were though the...

I was thinking about this defunct TL that made me write this post. If Alexander I of Russia and Napoleon decided to agree on invading the Ottomans together and splitting up the empire among themselves, how radically different will Europe, the Middle East, and (to a smaller extent) North Africa...

The peninsular war was a bloodbath that drained the french empire's resources and ultimately led to the death of the Spanish Empire, as well as the Portuguese. Its causes are complicated, with Portugal not joining the don't-trade-with-Britain-club, internal unrest in Spain and napoleon having...

In 1804, Napoleon famously crowned himself Emperor of the French, ending the French Republic, and the start of the French Empire. However, I have a question... How did people, from Royal to Peasant, from outside and inside of France, from Europe to the Americas, react to Napoleon crowning...

Let's say Napoleon doesn't try to escape in 1815 and he's still in Elba when the July, 1830 Revolution happens. Charles X flees into exile and Napoleon decides to make a break for it. He lives longer than on St. Helena due to much better and healthier conditions and he takes care of himself...

Of late, i've been brainstorming out some AH ideas, and being that i'm good at coming up with sweeping ideas, but less so in sussing out plausibilites, I have chosen to come to the AH.Com forum with my idea and request feedback with a view towards writing a TL. Essentially, my idea boils down...

POD 1700 Peter I Starts the colonization of Alaska Elizabeth lives longer to destroy Prussia and gets pomerania connect Russia to Atlantic North Sea via her successor Peter III's duchies of schleswig and holstein giving Russia's first warm water port in an ocean She doesn't help French...

When Napoleon was to launch his invasion of Britain he was also planning to send a smaller invasion force to Ireland so as to stir up rebellion there and establish a French satellite/puppet state. So I've been working on an alternate history novel based around the failed Irish rebellion of 1803...

The collapse of the spanish empire brought about the end of what had once been the greatest power in the world. It wasn't a spectacular last stand like the British in ww2, nor was it particularly humiliating like France in Indochina. it was simply due to the fact that spain had been invaded and...

We can comb over the specifics, the tactical details, the cause of death as the thread goes on but the general premise is in the title: Napoleon wins at Waterloo(however hard fought) but does not survive his victory, what are the consequences for France, Europe and his legacy?

- Author's Note - This Timeline is a rework of my previous Timeline, written almost a year ago. As you can see by the title, it even takes some elements from it. Being a rework of the Timeline, you will see changes, for starts, this version has a clearly defined PoD and does not mess heavily...

Besides Bernadotte and Murat, who else could have elevated? (And could he have potentially any non-relatives who weren't also marshals?) Masséna ruling Sardinia? Poniatowski as the King of Poland? Henri Jacques Guillaume Clarke as Chonsal (or whatever in Gaelic) of Ireland following a...

In 1799 Napoleon lost at Acre to a British-Ottoman force. Supposedly after winning he had planned to march to Jerusalem where he would proclaim a Jewish state or would make a proclamation for the Jewish people to return to their homeland. What if Napoleon had won in Acre, entered Jerusalem and...

IOTL, after the Hatian revolution, Hati continued until some French rule as a republic run by freed slaves. However, Napoleon tried to reimpose slavery on the island, and then invaded when they resisted. However, the campaign ended in a diasaster, as malaria destroyed the French army and they...

Let's say for one reason or another Napoleon ends up victorious with no changes up until right before he invades Russia. In the event of such a victory what would be done with Portugal? The Treaty of Fontainebleau splitting Portugal in 3 was created before/with pretense for his eventual...

I originally wrote this TL in Italian, so I apologize for errors or linguistic mistakes. I would have liked to add a map of Europe, but I wasn't able to load it because it said it was too large. If you are intrested in reading my original work in Italian, you can find it here...
