The king was very disliked being a "German" and parliament and certainly the government at the time wouldn't have approved of it. The king could of course have chosen another government, which he actually did, but it wouldn't help him. There was a very small minority who could imagine this...

At this time - 1700 - Prussia is a state the size of D-N populationwise and used to be part of the D-N "security zone" in Northern Germany; in as the Danish royal family used to intermarry with those German princely ones. Denmark-Norway and Prussia would ally during the Great Northern War...

I don't see D-N ITTL being interested in handing Hanover Bremen-Verden. Much more likely to keep it as another royal possession which would help limit the resources of Hanover. Getting a land bridge to Oldenburg may even serve to make for some royal interest in that country too. So yes some...

The Danish option considering a non-British involvement in the Great Nordic War 1712-20 without a Hanoverian pretender might seem the obvious choice mostly so if the war goes more or less according to OTL with Denmark-Norway getting in possession of Bremen-Verden. This would make D-N quite some...

An older paper http://www.geo.hunter.cuny.edu/courses/geog347/articles/decline_human.pdf saying desertification was mainly due to migration of pastoralists into the Roman agricultural lands changing the use of those lands and their resources.

Originally during Viking age Slesvig was an Earl (Jarl)dom with a kings man ruling. Stick to that and do as was the case at times during the Middle Ages give apanages to the kings sons in other parts on the fringes of the kings lands; Halland and Västra Götaland both had the pleasure at times as...

This looks quite interesting. :) Denmark would by 1353 see Valdemar IV end the war of reunification of his country with the Holstein counts. It will only be a few years however before Valdemar will have an uprising on his hands as the ever-rebellious Jutland Nobility dislike the Kings...

The real crucial area was the Ardennes - get the Allies to pound the Panzer's traffic-jam and you change a lot. Albert Canal crossings... probably not much though the Fallschirmjäger landing at the bridges may have a hard time once the fort starts firing at them. At that time the Stukas in the...

This is very difficult though a lot stems from the victory of the First Schleswig War and the subsequent defeat during the Second. So I would suggest changes during the 1848-50 years with Denmark taking much greater losses in manpower making it obvious to politicians that there must be another...

You actually have scholars who argue that kings like Godfrey who died 810 had some serious backing much beyond Denmark as we know it and at least one who argue that the major parts of Scandinavia i.e. Southern Norway, Sweden and Denmark were united around 700 when Charlemagne was a serious...

The Danes would surely see the British non-actions against them as a possibility to uphold neutrality thus tackle off the Navy during fall and send the crews mostly being Norwegian home on winter leave which would see them unprepared for a winter campaign. BTW the Danish army was in Hostein to...

Regarding 1848 would this neutrality go so far as to not heed the call of the German Confederation and thus not commit the Hanoverian troops to the Confederation Corps moving into the Holstein? If so the Confederation may feel a grudge towards Britain and the Confederation toops in the Schleswig...

Not much on Jakob except his possibly being a bastard son of King John of Denmark and as such not elegible for the throne and Christian II did have his own son John. Problem is how would Jakob become king - Frederick allied himself to the ever rebellious Jutland nobility and Christian was...

At least she had it to get Peter (3) a spouse who would stop him in time!

By looking up the Swedish wiki on Sigismund Vasa it shows he made diplomatic use of Brandenburg in his feud for retaining the Kingdom of Sweden and later on may have seen keeping the friendship of a protestant noble a nice way of having less to worry about in his ongoing conflict with the Sejm...

Bell initially made the XP-39 with turbosupercharger but that construction was changed to reduce drag which was also the reason for the intake to become placed on the spine instead of on the starbord fuselage side by request of Gen. Arnold; because of the prototype not being able to reach...

As the OTL development of the sugar beet happened to a major extend due to lack of canesugar during the Napoleonic wars have some other period where the Europens don't have acces and they'd go on developing.

I'm just wondering how Spain would manage to close the Strait of Gibraltar; just wondering. :confused: :confused: :confused: One micro-dreadnought; seven cruisers of which two dated to before 1900 and four old destroyers...

Polish Marine and Airborne brigades were to invade Denmark - hardly a rear area operation and not somebody they would detest.
