That's what I meant.
Honestly it'd be a mess since Charles daughter was an infant, and bypassing her for one of Philippe's daughters could be problematic as well.
Well, that and the very heavy suspicion that Jeanne of Navarre was a bastard. Philippe's eldest daughter was married to a Bourgogne so they could still claim agnatic descent.
Not sure, but Manchuria has always been a major industrial center. Actually, I think their infrastructure was actually underdeveloped along the Vietnamese border which is another issue that Pentagon war planners didn't appreciate.
As previously stated, no invasion happened because of US...
That's the point, there'd be no reason for such a colony to have the name other than lazy writers make things congruent with OTL. Which is why IMO people harp on things being butterflied away so much because it used to be fairly common.
I don't think anything like that is necessarily wrong, other than people are wary of homing butterflies where people just assume that things would be mostly static otherwise and write such. For exemple, having a Lancastrian colony in the New World being named Virginia and Carolina inexplicably...
Probably in reference to the Butterfly Effect, but I think people sometimes take that too far. Maybe back in earlier years when you'd have weird TLs with PODs from say, the Crusades, yet Napoleon Bonaparte somehow becomes Emperor of France it made sense.
I don't see how a Yorkist/Lancastrian...
I'm pretty sure Columbus knew it wasn't India. The problem was his contracts with the Crown of Spain were for India, not some uncharted land. So, he had to argue that it was India so he wouldn't lose out on the riches he was contracted.
OK, so it seems like my TL was worked out backwards. Any type of "Reconquista" is likely to start out with OTL Tunisia, and then spread out West as Al-Andalus fragments.
That's my fault for not really being specific, more of a parallel Reconquista occurring in North Africa as well as in Iberia. The slave trade idea was a concept that gave the Christian Berber tribes leverage to have a vassal state agreement, similar to how Moscow operated with the Mongols. While...
OK, further complicating things is the role that the slave trade would have. I imagined that the Mauretanian state emerged by the Christian tribes having a vassal status similar to Granada did near the end of the Reconquista. The Christian leaders used their connections in the trade routes...
OK, I'll admit the premise relies on homing butterflies with the Donatist schism being mended, and then the real POD with the initial invasions of North Africa. Not the best writing, I admit.
Well the scenario was mostly projecting similar circumstances in North Africa as in Iberia, so I...
