    WI Armada of 1779 landed troops in England

    Option 1 would be almost a herculean task even for a combined armada. Besides problems of language, there would be weather concerns as well as being able to coordinate a combined offensive operation (which is pretty much why I said language at the beginning. Unless the French officers can...

    Why did the Austrians decline?

    What if the House of Babenberger never sold Austria making Bohemia, Bavaria or Brandenburg the dominant power in the Holy Roman Empire?

    I suspect it would devolve into a three-way contest between Bavaria, Bohemia and Brandenburg.. If this contest continues long enough, Saxony could even get embroiled and make it a four-way contest.
