Reign of George VI, 1900-1925: A Forecast Written in the Year 1763

by Charles William Chadwick Oman

This book presents a fascinating alternate history of Europe, envisioning a world where major revolutions never occurred. Written in 1763, it projects the social, political, and economic trends of the 18th century into the 20th century, creating a world without the American, French, or Russian Revolutions. The author, Samuel Madden, uses the perspective of 1763 to imagine a world where England's power continues to grow, shaping a vastly different 20th century. Readers are invited to compare the book's imagined world with the actual historical events, offering a unique perspective on the course of history.
