  1. Mikhail Speransky doesn't fall from power?

    Keep in mind this is a subject I know next to nothing about, so there'll probably be some mistakes here and there. Mikhail Speransky was a Russian statesman whose influence reached its height during the early reign of tsar Alexander I. He was apparently a reformist, but while some of his...
  2. Effects on 19th century history if British, French, Spanish and Portuguese maintain more New World colonies?

    First of all, this post covers a lot of stuff I think, so dont feel the need to address absolutely everything, I just feel theres a lot to speculate about here. Theres three different beasts being tackled here the way I reckon: The French losing their holdings in the 7 year war, the British...

    Alternate History of Belgium: 1787-1899

    Chapter I. Para Bellum Jan Frans Vonck and his faction within the Austrian Netherlands, the Vonckists are arrested by austrian authorities, in the years leading up the 1789 Brabantine Revolution. Meanwhile, Henri Van Der Noot, is in exile in the Dutch City of Breda, and is amassing an army of...

    AHC: Napoleon Crowns Himself Holy Roman Emperor

    Napoleon as he took over France, began to consolidate the state and its instructions around himself being a monarch in all but name as "First Consul." Napoleon by the Early 19th Century became much more of a moderate Conservative and drifted towards monarchism as a means to preserve the ideals...
  5. PC: Austria gets Silesia at Tilsit?

    Like it says on the tin. Was there any way the Austrian Empire could've gotten its hands on Silesia as a result of the Treaty of Tilsit? Perhaps if the War of the Fourth Coalition was an even tougher victory for Napoleon than IOTL (the French armies were exhausted and far from home), and so he...
  6. Could Austria unify Germany in the 19th century?

    Like it says on the tin. Could Austria be the one to unify Germany in the 19th century, rather than Prussia? The elephant in the room in this scenario is the fact only a quarter or so of their empire's population is German, could that be handled somehow? Perhaps by giving Hungary and other...
  7. A clear Russian victory at Eylau?

    Fought on February 7-8 1807, the Battle of Eylau was a bloody, indecisive slog that, despite ending with a Russian retreat from the field, left the French so exhausted they were in no shape to pursue them. The War of the Fourth Coalition only ended in June that year, with the Battle of...

    Napoleonic situation after WW1

    Today, I read that a German victory in WW1 by a succesfull Westfeldzug in 1914 or a East First strategy could result in a situation like the Napoleonic Wars, where Britain every time built new coalitions against France (ITTL Germany). Is this plausible?
  9. An Austrian victory at Wagram?

    The decisive engagement of the War of the Fifth Coalition, the Battle of Wagram came on the heels of the French defeat at Aspern-Essling and ended with a decisive yet bloody victory for them. The Austrian army's numerical disadvantage was worsened by the fact the reinforcements (around 13.000...
  10. Could the Napoleonic Wars end with a Prussian wank?

    This is far from a subject I'm well versed about, but from what little I know Prussia had a pro-Napoleon party before the outbreak of the War of the Fourth Coalition. How plausible would it be for Berlin to ally itself with France during the War of the Third Coalition in exchange for getting...
  11. Napoleonic Wars With No French Demographic Decline?

    https://www.guillaumeblanc.com/files/theme/Blanc_secularization.pdf Many people believe that the French demographic decline started after the French Revolution, when in fact it started as early as the 1730s. The cause of this is theorised to be early secularisation, but why this early...
  12. Persia retains Armenia and Azerbaijan in 1804-1813?

    The Russo Persian War of 1804-1813 was simultaneous to, and deeply affected by, the Napoleonic Wars. The Qajar dynasty, young, unstable and weak, sought foreign aid to turn its army into a force capable of standing up to the Russians, but the shifting dynamics in Europe screwed them over: the...
  13. If Britain had conquered Argentina in 1806/07, could they have kept it?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_invasions_of_the_River_Plate What it says on the tin. If Britain had succeeded, would they have been able to take and hold onto Argentina in the long term?

    AHC: Restore the Holy Roman Empire After 1814

    How could the Holy Roman Empire have been feasibly restored during the Congress of Vienna? Who would have been Emperor and what would the ramifications of such an event have been.

    What If Spain invades Portugal early

    I am planning a Time line and would love to see some discussion on the scenario below. The premise is that the Spanish under the direction of prime Minister Manuel Godoy is able to start a war with Portugal a decade earlier then OTL. In 1797, a year after the Second Treaty of San Ildefonso with...

    Dutch Ceylon into the modern days

    Okay, so meanwhile I asked MANY, MANY, MANY question about Dutch history. I am already bush with my TL called Oranje Boven which I will continue later, but I want to make a smaller TL like a kind of pause in this. A TL in a chronologic form in which I write which happens per year, possibly with...

    Treaty of London, 1814

    So in 1814, the Netherlands and Britain signed the Treaty of London about the return of former Dutch colonies to The Netherlands, colonies occupied by the British during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. I read an article about the signing of this treaty, in which was suggested that...

    Political map of Europe, sans Napoleon.

    Hello. I have a timeline in the works involving no Napoleonic Wars, and I need to figure out Europe. What would Europe look like politically without the Napoleonic Wars?
  19. Plausibility check: Napoleon scrapes out a victory in 1814?

    The Six Days' Campaign was Napoleon's last display of the brilliance that marked the first years of his military career. Hopelessly outnumbered and leading an army made up of conscripts who barely knew how to use their muskets, he scored four back-to-back victories against the Army of Silesia, a...
  20. Ferdinand VII isn't captured by Napoleon?

    Less than two months after becoming king of Spain for the first time, Ferdinand VII and his deposed father, Charles IV, were called upon by Napoleon to go to Bayonne to, officially, sort out the situation that was developing as a result of the Tumult of Aranjuez and the Dos de Mayo Uprising...
