    Opponents of succession of Zofia Holszańska's sons also claimed to protect hereditary rights of their older half-sister, who was descendant of Casimir the Great, so it would be better for Jagiełło if she either was a boy or not born at all.

    Quite different situation. Zofia of Mazovia has royal blood in her veins, with recent Jagiellon and Habsburg ancestors, unlike Leszczyński family . Add Sforza's blood and claims to Milan.

  11. Miscellaneous >1900 (Alternate) History Thread

    Besides natural obstacles, like mountains or marshes, size of the country itself is often problem for invaders (European Russia is vast plain, yet its size sloved down several invaders). Thus I'd say Baltic States are way easier to invade than Poland.

    Mostly due to personal obsession of Alexander I.

  20. AHC: Make Russian an accepted part of the west.
