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...

Whenever I work on maps that are set in a world where the USSR existed like IOTL, or where it never existed, or if its existence was cut short, I feel the need to be accurate in mapping the numerous dams/artificial lakes, and the effects of such buildings that exist IOTL, but which would not in...

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...

As the title says. I have allways see both empires as parallels: born on the frontier against nomadic muslim tribes and expanding over the centuries, being the main differences the continuitiy (Russia) or discontinuity (Spain) of the territory and the fact that one is horizontal and the other...

The Paradox of Victory Artemis Kozaczka “The great paradox of victory is this- once you have won once, you must keep winning, or else lose everything you have won in the first place.” - Tsar Nicholas II, The Fall of an Eagle (1922) The Russo-Japanese War A map of Eastern Asia in February 1904...

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...

I recently came across this althistory page: https://althistory.fandom.com/wiki/Russian_Confederated_Union_(Inverse_Spectrum:_Chaos_&_Resolve) In the post, the creator turned Vladivostok into "the world's most modernized city", and Vladivostok became one of the major tech hubs of the world...

Hello to all who are reading this new TL of mine. It's been a (very) long time since I was into the TL writing business on this board and this is effectively my first TL since it's been that long. I hope that my TL isn't too zany and I hope to entertain you with a good story to tell... Chapter...

As we know, before WWI, Europe was a mix of paranoia, nationalism, and alliances. A month after the Death of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, which caused Russia, who was allied with Serbia, declaring war on Austria-Hungary. This then caused Germany to declare...

What if Germany won WW1 “quick” in the west in 1914/1915. How would the Eastern Front develop? And what would be the peace treaty between the CP’s and the Russian Empire?

Back in 1858 the Qings were fighting Hong's Taiping Heavenly Kingdom since 1850 and also where on the course of losing the Second Opium War, Seeing this context Russia threatened to invade if the Qings were not to cede the northern half of Outer Manchuria. Qing China agreed and ceded the...

I've been looking into into what the Russian empire would want if they won world war 1 and would seek at the table. Note I imagine if they did still win they obviously would have many issues but it's best to assume in this case these are their maximalist goals that they would use first then...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russo-Persian_War_(1826%E2%80%931828) Following more than a decade of military reform, spearheaded by crown prince Abbas Mirza, and a minor but victorious border war against the Ottoman Empire, the Qajar dynasty attempted to reconquer the territories it lost to the...

Your Challenge is to find to a way for Russia to win WW1 despite France falling in 1914 with a POD of 1900 effects?

A while ago I asked about alternative unifiers of Russia other than Muscovy, with the most reasonable option being the Principality of Tver. Tver was the most powerful state in medieval Russia until the Golden Horde back Muscovy against them in the 14th century. If the Tver princes were more...

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...

While I know that chances of Napoleon marrying either Grand Duchess Anna Pavlovna or Catherine Pavlovna were probably minimal, nevertheless what if Napoleon either forced Alexander I hand via Treaty of Tilsit (as i think that by that time he was probably already thinking about new wife) or via...

In our timeline after World War II we know what happened Allies occupied Nazi Germany, country got split in two, yada yada yada But I always found quite fascinating the socioeconomic contrast of the Soviet-occupied Germany and it's western counterpart, much like South & North Korea nowadays its...

While he was definitely a skilled politician, Gustav III's tenure as king of Sweden was mediocre at best thanks to his rampant spending and inability to stick to a consistent program. One of his schemes was a surprise attack against Russia, then bogged down in one of its many wars with the...
