    If Russian Tsar Nicholas II has a son in either 1895 or 1897 and subsequently dies in 1915, would this be enough to prevent revolution in Russia?

    Makes sense. Anyway, do the surviving Ottoman Armenians get deported en masse to Russia (or at least voluntarily emigrate to Russia out of fear for their own lives)?

    FWIW, the Russians were already sitting on a sizable amount of Ottoman Armenian territory by the end of 1916. Would they have to withdraw from all of it? Otherwise, good analysis.

    Like a more rabid Serbian nationalist regime? Anyway, would there have still been a League of Nations in this TL? And does the Ottoman Empire still get back all of its pre-war territories? Or would it have forfeited its claim to Ottoman Armenia due to the Armenian Genocide? And as for the...

    Will the existing Serbian royal family be allowed to keep their throne and remain in power in Serbia?

    In other words, similar to Tsar Nicholas II's late July 1914 proposal to take the Austria-Hungary vs. Serbia dispute to the Hague?

    Fair points. That said, though, just how would the Serbian issue be resolved in a TL where WWI ends in a 1916 Christmas peace (or at least armistice)?

    Though taking Europe into an extremely bloody three-year war isn't exactly "willy-nilly".

    Does France remain the only republic among Europe's Great Powers in this TL? Also, off-topic, but you might be interested in this thread of mine: https://www.the-sietch.com/index.php?threads/ahc-alternative-realistic-cases-of-lebensraum.7142/

    Interesting analysis, but I also can't help wondering if people will be angry at their leadership for dragging them into a war that produced nothing meaningful except mass death, suffering, and destruction. Of course, some of the leaders who dragged Europe into a World War, such as Nicholas II...

    Interesting. I wonder if Nicholas III might be persuaded to try remaining in the war for a little bit longer to see if Germany will actually resume USW and thus bring the US into the war. But I'm also wondering if both 1917 Russian Revolutions actually occur on schedule in this TL.

    Yes, he won't have hemophilia because his mother Alexandra's eggs will remain the same. It's Nicholas's sperm that will change. Any idea as to what such a peace might look like? Would there be any face-saving solutions for France in Alsace-Lorraine, Italy in the Italian parts of A-H, Romania...

    @Skallagrim @History Learner Since you're both experts in Russian history, what do you think about this?

    If Russian Tsar Nicholas II has a son in either 1895 or 1897 and Nicholas himself subsequently dies in 1915, would this be enough to prevent revolution in Russia? Assume that the son in question would have the personality of one of Nicholas's two eldest daughters, only male.
