What if Tsar Alexander III of Russia died 7 years earlier in 1889, of some sort of sudden health problem or accident, what would have been the consequences of an early Nicky II?
The new Tsar Nicholas would be very young, his early 20s. I wonder if the other youngish monarch, Wilhelm II, would have taken Nicky under his wing? Willy felt he had the most in common with Nicky and the two corresponded In OTL.
considering this is before the Franco-Russian dual alliance, could the relationship lead to Wilhelm not taking his first OTL signature foreign policy move, abandoning the reinsurance treaty with Russia, but instead extending it?
