So, the idea of this thread is simple and twofold.

1) Through whatever means, better harvests, more trade, another act of ASB, the French Revolution of 1789 is completely averted.
What would the more plausible reasons for that be?

2) In the event it does not happen, what happens with the rest of the world?

just made King arrest his cousin Filip Egalite who payd for part of it,and english agents who payed for rest.
Revolutions without foreign money never succed.

What next? normal Europe and World.
 
1 - there are several points in '89 at which grapeshot/musket volleys/heads+spikes+walls would had squashed the subversion;
2 - European history is too different to imagine, IMO. This also has major repercussions on the Americas - Spanish and Portuguese colonies remain colonies for much longer, the USA ends on the Mississippi, etc.
Would the XIXth century be that different for Africa and Asia? I'm not so sure, as Great Britain and France seem predestinied to be colonial "top dogs".

And maybe surviving Poland,if France backed us.Maybe not.
 
Do you think that democracy and nationalist sentiment will catch on at all?

Or will we get countries that ultimately become more like the Seiss Confederacy and the original USA with perhaps some local blue blood potentates being the nominal rulers/constitutional monarchs?

No nationalism except old polish and hungarian gentry-nations,and no democracy,too.
France as kind of oligarchy with King as kind of puppet,like England - possible.
