Yeah, geographically, what are we looking at here? A possible third wave of secession perhaps? What could possibly get the Union to accept Confederate coexistence?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Tordesillas just to name one that stands out to me.

Thank you. I'm grateful for constructive replies. Basically giving guys like Luther, Knox, Calvin, Waldo, etc. the power, but not necessarily the title, of "archbishop" of the German, Scottish, French, and Italian churches. I even managed to find a Protestant Basque man who translated the New...

Elizabeth I repaired much of the damage that her father caused. We're trying to assume that colonizing the Americas would still be viewed as a profitable business venture, thus creating a great sense of urgency, perhaps greater than OTL, because Church constraints would not exist. Explorers...

I think what I'm leaning towards at this point is the RCC collapsing in lieu of the PR. That way I have viable candidates for "national" church leaders (Luther in Germany, Waldo in Italy, Calvin in France, etc.) I'm trying to create national churches that would allow European nation-states the...

I actually had Peter Waldo in mind for replacing Roman authority. I have him in mind as the leader for the "Church of Italy" akin to what Luther is to Germany or Calvin is to France or Knox is to Scotland. Nationalized Churches are what I have in mind for a broad, global timeline where the...

You could probably depend on a train to arrive on time at any given destination within Italy.

Was there any time in history before the Protestant Reformation that the RCC could have been toppled due to extreme weakness and Protestantism begun much much earlier than the OTL PR? Please offer as many details as possible.

If it's a situation where North Korea survives, you might see a situation where North Vietnam survives too. I mean we're talking about McCarthy's worst nightmare here, and with him as the Secretary of Defense during the Korean War, it would likely never happen. He had way too much pull, some...

Who would his running mate be?

Now we get more specific, this is good. Have the Red Scare be a lot scarier before communism even takes hold in Russia. Have Sacco and Vanzetti go on a true killing spree before they get caught. Also, somehow get more backlash from this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Russia_Intervention...

To ensure the United States would collapse, it would probably have to be sometime before World War 2 breaks out. Post-war America was an economic and production powerhouse. So somewhere between the Russian Revolution and Pearl Harbor I feel like is the most likely time for this to happen...

Question: would the United States need to collapse first in order for this to be a bit more plausible?

Probably OTL end of the war. I don't imagine him not dropping the bombs. I don't imagine him pressing too hard for a Home Island invasion.

This is true, and by the same token there were men from loyal Union states who came South to fight in gray.

The capital would remain in Montgomery without a doubt. You'd likely not see a second wave of secession, as has been discussed already. With all of the fury of the Union Army focused on the states in the Deep South, you'd see a shorter war for sure, speculatively ending by 1863 with all the...
