Well... hmmm... if Napoleon were never born though, would there even need to be a Bourbon restoration in Spain?
Impossible to say, really. Without Napoleon, the fallout from the French Revolution could range from 'falls apart in a few years' to 'totally remakes the map of Western Europe on Republican lines'.If Napoleon was never born how early would bourbon restoration happen ? How long would they stay on the throne?
There are a couple of Spainwankers on here who would agreeWithout Napoleon, French royalists may have managed to take power in Paris the 5 october 1795.
As for how long the Bourbons may have stayed on the throne after that... Mmh... Forever ?
Yeah, absolutely impossible to say... ,Napoleon was so instrumental in creating the world as we know it today, that as far as anything that would happen in a no-Napoleon world? Might as well roll the dice....Impossible to say, really. Without Napoleon, the fallout from the French Revolution could range from 'falls apart in a few years' to 'totally remakes the map of Western Europe on Republican lines'.

Really didn't bourbons lose their legitimacy in the revolution. I expected inevitable mass dissemination of revolutionary ideas would start 1830,48 revolutionsAs for how long the Bourbons may have stayed on the throne after that... Mmh... Forever ?
