Reign of George VI, 1900-1925: A Forecast Written in the Year 1763
by Charles William Chadwick Oman
'Reign of George VI, 1900-1925: A Forecast Written in the Year 1763' Summary
The book, 'Reign of George VI, 1900-1925,' presents a counterfactual history of Europe, written in 1763 as if the author was predicting the events of the 20th century. It explores a world where the American, French, and Russian revolutions never happened. The author, Samuel Madden, uses the social, political, and economic trends of the 18th century as a basis for his projections, creating a world where England remains a dominant power and the Victorian Era never takes place. Madden's vision of the future includes a world where the Great War never occurs, and the United States and Soviet Union never emerge as global powers. This alternate history offers a thought-provoking exploration of how different historical events could have unfolded, challenging readers to contemplate the impact of revolutionary upheavals and the potential for alternative trajectories in global history.Book Details
