Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'ancien régime'

The political and social system that existed in France before the French Revolution of 1789, characterized by an absolute monarchy, feudal privileges for the nobility and clergy, and a rigid social hierarchy. The Ancien Régime represented a traditional order where power was concentrated in the hands of the king, while the majority of the population faced increasing economic hardship and political disenfranchisement. In alternate history scenarios, the survival or different collapse of the Ancien Régime serves as a critical divergence point for exploring alternative developments in European politics and society.
