Some Maps of Rupert's land show parts of Baffin Island included, others don't. Baffin once called Helluland by Denmark Lets assume that, for whatever reason, Denmark trades/sells or gives up Greenland away to some other party (but Not Britain) very late 18th, early 19th century. (I am not...

Any other ideas for the final peace? Additionally, what is the most plausible way for combined French and Spanish forces to take Gibraltar during this Seven Years war? (This might require an earlier entry of Spain into the war)

Those are all good post war ideas, but I'd still like more comments on my prior question below. Who's going to trade off what in exchange for peace or will everyone throw up their hands and declare it a full on uti possidetis conclusion?

As in Crusaders that went to the holy land? No. But just in case they do ask, and some help is sent, it is more probable that the request or the help will get lost along the way than actually arrive safely. If any crusaders do arrive they're probably PO, wanted to find rich plunder, sorely...

They would have done something like the above to make sure Spain can't just give it back to Britain. Both Spanish and French force of arms and ships took Gibraltar ITTL, France isn't going to vacate it except by force.

Ironically, taking down the Ottomans, is perfectly valid reason for keeping an Austrian-French-Russian alliance.

It's surprising that possession of the Spanish/Austrian Netherlands is so powerful then. That was France's main goal. (Minorca is a nice addition though, as is eliminating a British Gibraltar) I would think Frnace is willing to give up everything on the far side of the Rhine. I only threw...

Alright since this is just for roughing out a TL idea, what if Britain had less overseas success? Britain either doesn't take San Juan or doesn't take Havana Britain doesn't take Manilla. In the Caribbean, Britain only takes Saint Dominique and only a couple of the French sugar islands (or less)

France also has troops (and Ships) occupying Gibraltar, they won't let Britain retake it. Treaties: Secret (but not for very long) Prussia-Dutch Treaty: Done while the Dutch helps mediate Peace between Prussia, Sweden and Russia. Prussia seeing the writing on the wall, acts quickly to sell...

Any other opinions? Is Britain willing to accept the current state of things? A gain of all French colonies east of the Mississippi, the Caribbean, India and Africa for a French Netherlands, the loss of Minorca, Gibraltar and Hanover? AT present British fleets still patrol the Atlantic west of...

Prussia loses the continental war Austria Territory Gains: Silesia Hanover (co-occupied w/ France) Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel (co-occupied w/ France) Hesse-Kassel (co-occupied w/ France) Schaumburg-Lippe (co-occupied w/ France) Sweden...

Bravo! We now request a map.

Kill off Philippe LeBlanc. I know he is somewhat mythical and there is alot of controversy and debate among historians about both his existence and identity, but the point is. The native didn't kill off all the original settlers. It was just that those who lived had to be adopted into the...

Rome doesn't have to lose all of Egypt. Make the Persians (or someone else, but Persia has the teeth to control it and fight off the Romans depending on the point of time in history) take control of the Horn of Africa and Yemen and charge an arm and a leg for trade to go through the eastern end...

I've read there is speculation on if she died of the plague or is she was murdered by some rival power. What is your personal opinion on if she died of natural causes or was murderer? If you think she was murdered then who do you think was behind it? Finally, as the title states, how do you...

With a POD no earlier than 1400, what is the best way unite all of Iberia by 1500? Bonus for the shortest amount of time.

Alot of tings have to go right, still not everything. More successful diplomacy and military campaigns in Canada to bring in Quebec. Same w/ plus Rebel sentiments in Nova Scotia. (how to take Halifax?) Better US navy (more ships somehow), more naval battle successes, Successful raid on...

You've described something that is close to Melanesian already so try an offshoot of them Supposedly thei blue eyes and possibly light hair is from an independent 2nd mutational origin of the same type that brought blue eyes/lighter hair to northern Europeans) To increase the rate of...

Who do you think the most likely claimants will be who choose not to recognize lines from Henry V sisters (or daughter) and seek it for themselves? Given that England's claim to the throne of France went through a female line, do you think that this will make claims to the English throne via...

Ok lets say he does. But butterfly net, he still dies in 1435 without any children. What happens next?
