1848 revolutions

Hello everyone. In looking for ways to potentially avoid the Scramble for Africa, which I think most of us can agree was an unmitigated disaster for the most part, I read through several past threads on this site...

Europe in 1815 -A young boy named Giuseppe Garibaldi dies at the age of 10 in obscurity in 1817 -Camillo Benso, son of Michele Giuseppe Francesco Antonio Benso, 4th Marquess of Cavour and Count of Isolabella dies at the age of 10 in obscurity -All of the children of King William IV and...

The 1848 Revolutions almost saw an independent Hungary and an early Italy under the Pope. Let's say the Pope warms up and agrees to the idea of the Confederation as long he doesn't deal with secular affairs of the state, while the Hungarians chase the Austrians back to Vienna and send a...

Supposing that in order to return some of the old status quo a proposal is made to restore some of the old Ecclesiastical States in Germany that were part of the old HRE. What would be the effects of these states still being a part of Germany? How would social and religious dynamics work? How...

I love alternate unifications of Italy, but based on my research, it seems that next to the Savoyard state, the only Italian polity both willing and able to unify Italy was the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, led by Leopold II of Habsburg-Tuscany (a local Italian branch of the Habsburgs, much like the...

What if Louis Blanc's socialist policy had not been a disaster? Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte still comes to power, but the socialists have much more power. Napoleon would seek out an alliance with the socialists, and Blanc would accept. The Dance of Peasants and Kings is an interesting world with a...

If France had not become a republic in 1848 but remained a monarchy would King Louis Philippe II have become,IOTL participated in the American Civil War on the side of the Union,if he had come to power would he still have helped the country?Would the British have stood by and watched?

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...

Without a fixed POD, the revolutions in Central Europe succeed and the Austrian rulers submit themselves to the Frankfurt parliament and Prussian king/ German emperor. What would become of the other Austrian territories? The Hungarians tried to become independent, but every minority in the...

This is based on a discussion I had with @The_Most_Happy @VVD0D95 @Fehérvári: OTL Emperor Franz I had no living grandkids until the birth of the future emperor Franz Joseph. However, both he and his wife (Karoline of Bavaria), were very attached to their grandson, "Frankie", the duke of...

How would society and the political situation in Britain during the 19th century evolve in a situation without the Great Reform Act being passed? Would it be affected by Revolutionary movements in 1848? How would this affect the Chartists? In otl they planned on marching in a large protest...

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...

Like it says on the tin. Is it as simple as just having the king of Prussia accept the Frankfurt Parliament's "crown from the gutter"? What about a quick, decisive victory at the First Schleswig War (perhaps with a victory at Dybbøl, a couple months before the armistice of Malmö in August...

Suppose that the Sardinian army adopts a different strategy in the First Italian War of Independence: instead of trying to besiege and take the Austrian fortresses in the Quadrilateral directly (and, among other things, wasting a precious amount of time at the siege of Peschiera), they cross the...

Initially I wanted to do a Brazilian TL, but I don't have enough material yet. So I will try to do something with the bits of knowledge I have. 1792 : TREATY OF ADRIANOPLE The Treaty of Adrianople was the the concordat which concluded the last of the Turco-Hasburgian Conflicts and ensured...

If Napoleon was never born how early would bourbon restoration happen ? How long would they stay on the throne?

The Prologue and a trip to Italy. It was 1828. "You may venture to Italy, but you must faithfully practice sobriety and restraint." The King of Prussia never wanted his son to go to Italy, thinking its great cultural heritage would taint him. After constant pestering, he decided to let him go...

Let's say that the revolutions of 1848 were so severe that they suffocated Austria. What would Europe be like? Hungary becomes independent?

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...
