Alt 900 AD/CE
The Frankish Empire rises out of Charlemagne's Empire, after Charlemagne's death, happening 10 years after OTL, he is able to effectively pick one of his sons and one of their sons to continue the rule of the empire, giving smaller autonomous powers to his others relatives. While the empire still has a small cultural split between the west and east franks, as well as the Italian franks (shown by different shades of blue in the empire), they are all unified under one ruler and a sense of nationalism (except for an empire) sustains itself in the empire.
Because of the increased loyalty, the empire is able to militarize and begin new military campaigns.
