Massive Habsburgathon!!!!!!!
Well, as I see it, instead of just Bohemia rebelling against Habsburgs as the start of OTL 30-year war, it will be Bohemia+Poland+Lithuania rebelling against Habsburgs
Unlikely, as the revolution was religious in nature, and Poland an dLithuania did not have as much a Proetstant influence as Bohemia had.
The rebellion was not only religious in nature. Large part of it was laso Bohemian Estates opposing centralization.
And even if the rebellion was only religious, the war grew into more than that. Catholic France supported the Protestants against the Habsburgs.
Traditionally, you say? So what about XI to XIV C., hmm?Well, Poland traditionally had been closely allied to Bohemia[...]

You don't say?
That would have to be the ultimate "Poland-X Commonwealth" cliché...Poland-Poland...I smell a challenge...
I think you were beaten by OTL with Small Poland and Great Poland... though it wasn't actually known as Poland-Poland.
I was aware of that, although I thought it was more of an expansion by one into the other rather than a union. I suppose you could have "All the Polands"...
Now we just need to unite this Poland with Russia and Austria and we'd have the greatest Imperial title ever...I was aware of that, although I thought it was more of an expansion by one into the other rather than a union. I suppose you could have "All the Polands"...
