Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'voltaire'

François-Marie Arouet, known by his pen name Voltaire, was an influential French Enlightenment writer, philosopher, and social critic who lived from 1694 to 1778. His advocacy for civil liberties, freedom of religion, and separation of church and state challenged the established Catholic Church and French monarchy, making him a key figure in shaping modern political thought. Voltaire's works, including "Candide" and his extensive correspondence, provide fertile ground for alternate history scenarios exploring different trajectories of Enlightenment thinking and its impact on revolutionary movements.
