I don't assume this would happen. If Alsace and Lorraine would be given to German state or put under a German dynasty because of their German language, the most deadly enemies of nationalism would turn out nationalist. Nope, not to Prussia. They already won too much in Poland, although they...
Four options
I see four possibilities.

Friedrich II. and Maria Theresia marry. As they both can be considered as "enlightend", there may be a chance of unifying most of Germany. And during the Napoleonic wars, they gain the rest of Germany.

As far as I know, the Edict of Fontainebleau was not Louis' own idea but was rather inspired by his wife and his minister, with the priest taking more of the responsibility. It might be easier to influence them rather than the resolute monarch himself.
Louis feared nothing more than being...
Interesting topic.
Louis XIV has to have another character (maybe his unkown twin brother Philippe...?): less egocentric and less religious (see Marcel Pagnol's describtion of the king's character).
I don't think it will influence the War of Succession too much. France was at the height of its...
I'm so sorry...

During the 19th century, Bavaria tried to conduct a 'third Germany' policy - what meant a Germany besides Prussia and Austria.
Bavaria went to war on Austria's side in 1866...
