Any details on the swing in this by-election and the state of national opinion polling at the time? Excellent timeline by the way. Subscribed.

Really? Take for example the 1867 Canada Act relating to dominion status. The legislation gives the new parliament the powers to make laws for peace, order and good government in [dominion name]. So the dominion pays for its own law enforcement (police etc.) at no extra cost to Britain. The same...

Yes the Netherlands will keep all its colonial possessions and also gain the Austrian Netherlands. There is also the prospect of Queen Victoria (or an alternative female monarch ITTL) marrying the Dutch Stadtholder or his heir; eventually the Britain and the Netherlands could be in personal...

Yes I should've made that clearer. Sorry for the confusion. Effectively the losers are Russia, France, Spain, Austria, several pro-Austrian German states and technically Denmark-Norway too (although they leave the war almost as soon as it starts) The winners are Britain, Portugal, the...

Regarding the idea of preferring small and independent nations Britain can trade with, I never assumed Britain would control all of South America directly and there is the potential for the colonies to eventually receive 'dominion-like' status later on (basically independent in every sense of...

Interesting points. When I was looking into the potential effects of the European war in the 1790s one option I weighed up was whether France would erupt into revolution during the conflict, forcing an early end to the conflict in Western Europe. Since you too agree with this I will incorporate...

Thanks for all the comments, much appreciated. The French Revolution in the late 1789 is avoided because there is no American revolution and French intervention that causes the countries finances to fall into such a dire state. However I made the assumption the underlying problems aren't...

Spain and France winning?:confused: They are allies of Russia in the war against Britain so they are on the losing side.

Bump. 184 replies yet only 2 responses. Surely some of you are interested? :confused:

I'd assume that eventually the British would extend the 'dominion-like' status, the North American colonies were granted, to the South American colonies which would make the task of governing the area far easier. Catholic emancipation would almost certainly be part of the package surely?

A couple of months ago I came across the rather underused POD of the 1767 budget passing through the British parliament un-amended as a result of Pitt the Elder's gout not flaring up for another year or two. Over the last few months I have researched British and American politics in the late...

To Iori. For the 300-699 CE era I would suggest using the Wessex colour for the dominant Anglo-Saxon states, since Wessex's dominance wasn't established until during the Viking incursions in the late ninth and tenth century and the dominant kingdoms generally alternated between Northumbria...

Attention Centennia Software Owners Hi to all those who are lucky enough to possess the full version of Centennia. Is there any chance of a map of europe in 1688, prior to the Glorious Revolution and in 1754, prior to the Seven Year's War? Thanks in advance.
