Revolutions of 1836
I've finally delved into the Revolutions of 1848 OTL, and might be able to explain the gap in the timeline:
 * Since France is already a republic with male suffrage and recovering classes, there would be no need for revolutions to spring in Paris. Instead, a mass rebellion begins in Sicily, after having been invaded and annexed by the Bourbon Kingdom of Naples.
 * The Sicilians would revolt for independence, as well as a socialist-type self-government for better treatment of the lower classes. Such revolts would spread to Naples itself, along with Sardinia and some in Tuscany. The Austrians (not having been affiliated with the French at the time) would send military aid to stop the rebellions, and reaffirm Bourbon sovereignty in the lands.
 * Rebellions in the HRE would occur as well, and would massively gain support from the French instead of the Prussians, who are too busy dealing with the large-scale Polish rebellions in the east. This would result in a mixed-influence in the smaller German states, with many becoming French along with the already Austrian- and Prussian-influenced ones. This differing of influence for unity would eventually cause the.
 * Like OTL, little would be done in terms of change happening from the revolution. The UK and Russia would not have large-scale revolts, along with the French in ATL. One difference is that Sicily is granted independence, only to be re-annexed during the.

Balkan Situation

 * Balkan revolutions in the Ottoman Empire would go accordingly OTL.
 * Instead of becoming independent, most states would become.
 * The Crimean War would occur and test Ottoman-French influence.
 * The of 1877 would be a "revenge war" in order to officially free the Balkan states from Ottoman sovereignty, and the Balkan states would succeed.
 * In order to better secure the remaining part of Ottoman Macedonia, a large immigration of Turks takes place. This causes a much shorter, if it occurs at all.
 * The "shining moment" for the Balkan League would be during the . However, with strict impositions on Serbia, the Austrian government would try to get in the way of Serbia (its puppet state) gaining power in the Balkans. Instead, Serbia only gains slight territory in Northern Macedonia, while Bulgaria gets Western Thrace and Greece gains Albania and the majority of.

Chinese Situation

 * British colonialism of India, along with reasons a la OTL, would cause a well-wanted relationship between the British and the Qing Chinese.
 * The two would establish close relations, though the Chinese would likely remain isolationist when it comes to trade.
 * However, because of British imposition in China (economically, influentially and religiously), a war similar to the may take place, most likely ending in British success.
 * The Chinese would likely turn to Russia, as France and the Japanese would be an extremely serious threat, while the British would continue their influence in southern China and Tibet. While the Russians would want rights to Manchuria, the Russians were willing to fight the French and Japanese to gain influence in the area, and the would ensue.

List

 * 1) George Washington (1789 - 1797)
 * 2) John Adams (1797 - 1801)
 * 3) Thomas Jefferson (1801 - 1809)
 * 4) James Madison (1809 - 1817)
 * 5) James Monroe (1817 - 1825)
 * 6) John Quincy Adams (1825 - 1829)
 * 7) Andrew Jackson (1829 - 1837)
 * 8) Martin Van Buren (1837 - 1845)
 * 9) *more to come

OTL Presidents not in TTL

 * - I assume his father,, would stay in Ohio, and Richard would pursue his career in law. Or, circumstances may have it that he would be killed in World War II.
 * and are questionable.
 * - would probably remain a radio personality (possibly actor)
 * - Considering Hawaii would remain British and later be given to Canada, I have a strong feeling that Barack would pursue his political career and either become Member of Parliament or even the Prime Minister.

2012 Olympics

 * See also: Paris bid

The 2012 Summer Olympic Games, officially the Games of the XXX Olympiad, also known informally as Paris 2012, was a major international multi-sport event that took place in, , from 27 July (when the opening ceremony is held) until 12 August 2012. Approximately 10,500 athletes from 204 National Olympic Committees competed in a variety of sports.

The official stadium for the games was the, along with eight other venues around it, including an aquatics centre and a superdome for gymnastics. One venue in particular was a beach volleyball stadium that was held beneath the Eiffel Tower, shooting near the former royal palace of Versailles and sailing on the west coast at La Rochelle.

French Presidents
Things to know:
 * The and presidency begins 1800.
 * As with the United States, terms are of 4 years each, renewable once.
 * This system would be a, since the prime minister aspect of the French government OTL was taken from the British system in 1875.
 * Napoleon did not have heirs of his own, and many of the famous Napoleons were heirs of his siblings. However, 's father, was apparently forced into his marriage. That would likely not happen, and his family would most likely enjoy meaningful marriages. It's unlikely that any of the descendants would become president, but who knows.

Alternate nations

 * Flag of Denmark.svg 
 * Without the Napoleonic Wars breaking them apart, I'd assume they'd stay a united kingdom.
 * Flag of Sweden.svg 
 * Forgot all about the fact that the late Napoleonic Wars caused Russia to take Finland.
 * Eureka_Flag.svg 
 * A full-democratic Australia, and the Eureka Flag would be used in reference to Australian rebellion against the British and local authority.
 * Tricolour_Flag_of_Iran_(1886).svg 
 * Since the French would make a stance against the Russo-British coalition in Persia, I'd bet to see a in  instead, and might see the Persians annexing the Afghan lands.
 * Flag of Ethiopia (1897-1936; 1941-1974).svg 
 * I now doubt that the Ottoman Empire would colonize Somalia and Eritrea (nor France Djibouti), and a sort of Pan-Ethiopianism would occur to the, maybe with the help of the Brits?
 * Flag_of_Transvaal.svg 
 * I could see the Boer Republics becoming almost a -esque union that could eventually become an independent united republic with the help of the Dutch (and even French).

Africa
Seeing as how colonization with a democratic France and a possible Boer Republic would change a lot of the continent, the borders could never be the same. These new borders are based mostly on rivers and drainage basins in the continent, while some not been affected. The modern nations that once have been a part of French West Africa are outlined in smaller lines. Very rough map.
