  1. The Saxon Hercules Stays Lutheran

    If Fredrick Augustus fails to secure the polish throne, it means that the Prince de Conti becomes the king of Poland. This is problematic, since Russia and Austria were opposed to a french-allied Poland. You could very well see a war of the polish succession break out much earlier.

  2. Assay: Visigothic WRE instead of Frankish

    Glad to help; Now, you said you wanted north africa in this Gothic empire. I would suggest that Hilderc put up a better fight against Gelimar, leading to a big Nicene/Arain Vandal civil war. This "Gothic emperor" could offer to aid Hilderic in exchange for him becoming a vassal king. If that...

  3. Assay: Visigothic WRE instead of Frankish

    Your going to need a Pod that is early enough to keep Aquitaine under Gothic control. With Aquitaine under control, the goths can dominate most of Gaul, which would provide the necessary man power and tax base for a "Gothic empire" For political stability, keep the Balti dynasty from...

  4. WI: Muhammed was kidnapped

    I assumed it was apocryphal, but I still think it would be cool to have Muhammad dragged before the Khosrau and seeing what happens.

  5. WI: Muhammed was kidnapped

    According to the encyclopedia of Islam, Muhammad sent a letter to Khosrau II demanding him to convert to Islam. Khosrau, annoyed that some random Arab merchant would ask him to convert to his guy's religion, told his vassal in Yemen to send two men to kidnap Muhammad and bring him back to...

  6. ACH WI: The New England Region As One, Single State

    How about Thomas Dongan, the governor of New York. He did a pretty good job there. Maybe he could have kept the dominion together. I'm not sure how the puritans would react to this Catholicism.

  7. Suggested Readings for a good Ancien Regime TL?

    The Great Nation by Colin Jones. Good book that describes in detail the death of Louis XIV to the rise of Napoleon.

  8. WI: Britain and France launch cooperative invasion of China

    What? Could you give the source please? Aren't France and England fighting against each other during the Austrian war of Succession at that time?

  9. Challenge: lasting Fürstenbund

    A holy roman civil war right before the French revolution. Now that's timeline worthy.

  10. AHC: Switch the fates of the Ottoman Empire and Persia

    Wasn't that basically OTL before world war one?

  11. Disaster at Leuthen TL - Frederick the Great dies in battle

    One minor thing. God save the king is actually a french song, under the name "Grand Dieu Sauve le Roi". Here is a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FaEqFFAKRA

  12. An American Revolution Question

    On a side note, where would the most likely place for these "patriot republics" to start up? Just across the Appalachians? On the great plains?

  13. Disaster at Leuthen TL - Frederick the Great dies in battle

    So the British control Lebanon. That could be interesting. IOTL the British supported the druze, while the french supported the Maronites. I wonder if the french will try to start a Maronite rebellion when the great war starts.

  14. AHC: What could Vietnam do to prevent or limit its colonization in 19th C. ?

    Not massacring catholic missionaries would help. Also you need a nation that will discourage other states from wanting to attack Vietnam. Maybe a stronger China?

  15. AHC: Portuguese-Venetian Union

    I know how to make a Portuguese-Savoy union, but a union with Venice is pretty hard. You would need to Venice a monarchy in the first place to achieve a dynastic union.
