An excellent suggestion. To clarify, you mean having the Hohenzollern eagle on the heraldic shield rather than just the quartered black and white shield right? True. I doubt that Prince Henry would choose a more imperial eagle than that of his father and forefathers...even as King.

I was confused when I fear stumbled upon this debacle myself. :D And yes, the Stars and Stripes would in all likelyhood remain. Henry would be an idiot to suggest otherwise! As four dual bald eagles...that is a VERY nifty suggestion.

A very good point, although there is a likelyhood that Japan will remain "united" under the empire despite the lack of a reigning Shogun or Regent, which may or may not be an issue for the OP.

In many ways it was. Nevertheless, as far as I could tell from my (limited) research, the Congress claimed during the meeting to revoke the offer that they would not have rescinded it had Henry accepted more promptly. Whether out of embarrassment or a better motivation I can't say.

I've only just returned to the forums after a long absence and I would like to say that I support this thread with every inch of my cartography-loving heart and that I very much look forward to contributing to the contests when I get a chance.

Not far at all, since for a size able period it was a unified state in name only. Have something like a decimation of the Imperial family (perhaps by a movement like the Ikko-Ikki) and the Clans could drop the pretenses of being united at all. Although the chances of it being united by some...

I've been wondering where to put the black-&-white myself. Maybe a Bald eagle with a Hohenzollern shield should be involved?

Hello everyone. Long time no see! I just had a question for a timeline that I'm working on...answers will probably be mostly speculation, but I would like to hear any and all opinions regarding it. In my timeline, Prince Fredrick Henry of Prussia accepts the Congress' offer of Kingship and...

Consider me interested. I'm always thrilled to see a classical timeline...particularly an Egyptian one. Keep up the good work!

I can sympathize. Just keep your spirits up and stay dedicated. Know that I'm going to keep both eyes on this Timeline in the meantime.

You're going to need substantial support from the nobles...that's for sure. The original drive against Zoroastrianism was a result of the clash between the Persian nobles and Kings and the Zoroastrian priesthood...so the priesthood's role in society is definitely going to go the way of the Dodo...

Seconded for truth!

I think that this would go a long way towards driving the Imperial nobles away from Luther's movement. The German princes would be loath to embrace an ideology that kills their legitimacy rather than buttress it.

It seems to me that you would need a really 'out-of-the-box' thinker among the Athenians to try to deploy biological warfare in any successful way. The Athenians may have been quite clever in regards to conventional military action, but that kind of a plan actually seems like something we'd more...

Sorry for the hiatus guys, RL's been super busy lately. I hope to get back to work on the TL sometime soon.

A Brief Consideration I was wondering, with all of this dictatorship talk floating around, whether anyone had talked about a post-revolutionary CSA being a puppet state for the French or somebody. For Example: The CSA manages at somepoint to secure independence with foreign (primarily French)...

Thanks for the update MNP! May God keep the waters in the rivers from now on! You have my prayers and I hope that you find work soon. :D

They certainly are! Here's hoping for the continuation of this great TL!

It's going to be fun for sure ;) Thanks for the following so patiently! I'll have an update here soon. We will see soon enough Mathuen. Thanks for your interest! P.S. I love united Germany's as well!

UPDATE TIME! The War of 1869 The War of 1869, officially beginning with the skirmish dubbed the First Battle of Alsace on the 1st of November, was among the bloodiest and most revolutionary conflicts in history. Battles raged on between nearly every major power of Europe and all of the major...
