Yes, Taft or any other isolationist is not very likely candidate. But IMO is not either candidate who is not yet even 40, has only few of political experience and had evidently some pro-nazi comments. And not forgot how pro-nazi his father was. Actually that was reason why I put Taft against...

Him should had indeed do that but he just didn't understand that times were changing and him and Russia had change too. Perhaps if Nicholas II is enforced to accept such constitution which really limit his powers. But on such case he probably would ratherly abdicate than accept such consitution...

Not any chances to succeed. Russia would crush any revolt like a bug in 1830. And any great power wouldn't too allow that to succeed. Yes, Belgians succeeded but the Netherlands was much weaker and great powers had lesser worries with independent Belgium.

Next on line of succession would are now Michael (Nicholas II's brother) and then grand duke Vladimir (Nicholas II's uncle) and then his son Kirill Vladimirovich. So if Michael survives he will remain as next tsar. Probably already declared as tsar anyway.

Yeah. At least Germany is not keeping half of Europe as its puppets like pretty often seen. Altough I don't see annexation of Belgium very likely or even needful for Germany. But on some reason DbE has decided go with that way. And personally I would had gone further with decolonisation of...

This fits finely to my headcanon.

I don't think that it is possible. Perhaps there is way how Austria can keep Venicce-Lombardy and give them same status as for Hungary but even that seems bit unlikely. You could anyway get Kingdom of Italy under Habsburg if Tuscany manage to unite Italy. Italians never would accept their...

Yes, Margaret indeed died some unknown illness not drowned. This would butterfly completely 100 Years War and English/British king wouldn't claim French crown through few next centuries. Conflicts with France are still happening but nothing like 100 Years War. Edward II would too reign longer...

You just need more reformist minded (but not radical) and capable tsar what Nicholas II wasn't.

Why anyone even guy with half of brain would ignore iron? It is such advanteous comparing to bronze. You can find iron from everywhere, it is much harder and iron sword is easier to keep sharp. And another big factor was disastrous climate change. For that can't really do much. And another...

Probably Kingdom of Denmark or informally just Denmark. Why to change name when becoming great power? Countries just not do that when become bigger.

You talk about something what would happen something like over 130 years after the POD. Butterflies would make thins pretty unrecognsible. And I too bit disagree with Russia being backward nation in 1914. Yes, certainly it is not on level of Britain or Germany and even lesser it is superpower...

They tried but it didn't work like stated. Russia would need true reforms not more pogroms. And I don't think that it would be acceptable to promote pogroms or other hate crimes on this site.

Difficulty on avoiding of Bronze Era Collapse is that it was pretty complicated affect of climate change which had disastrous effect in Northern and North-Eastern Africa, lot of Middle East, Mediterranean region and Indus Valley. Some other nature disasters like volcano eruptions and severe...

Coastal town would be indeed better option. But even then there might be some issues existing like it would alienate Germans and make Soviets really frustrated.
