    An independent Burgundy? The second son of Charles V

    Very interesting premise, I recently read the biographies of William the Silent, Charles V en Philip II. My first thoughts: Regarding the title: It could be possible to elevate the Duchy of Brabant into the Kingdom of Brabant. It being the richest region of the Netherlands. Geoffrey Parker...

    Mary Tudor becomes queen in 1547 -- Who would she marry (with a twist)?

    Maybe Christina of Denmark? Her and the Prince of Orange's OTL attitude of 'Let's not intervere with heretics because of trade' could lead to a quicker import of protestantism? Albeit maybe it's difficult cause a personal union with England is probably the biggest boon for trade there is...

    What would the impact be on Spain be if the new world was discovered much later?

    I think the neccessity to split the empire (most importantly the Netherlands) becomes more prominent as without American money flowing in, any potential rebellion within a already hostile Europe (Schmalkaldic war, France) is almost impossible to surpress. Thus I think Spain overstretches...

    Belgium succesfull in annexation plans at Versailles 1919

    I agree with earlier posts that a stronger armed neutral Netherlands is the likely outcome. This presents interesting butterflies for WW2. With a strong armed and neutral Netherlands, that doesn't control Limburg, Germany might skip the Netherlands like in 1914. They won't have to fear a British...

    Was it ever possible for Hillary Clinton to become President before Bill?

    Not really after his presidency, but an early terminated one? Bill is assassinated somewhere during his presidency (before Monica? His approval rates were highest after it, so idk what the 'best' time is) and eventually she uses his legacy to run for office? Gore probably wins 2000 in this...

    The Last Hanover: The Life and Reign of Queen Charlotte

    Good to see an update, and one with interesting divergences in France and the Netherlands! Really curious to what this change in landscape will mean for the different royal families of Europe and of course for the political landscape! Any chance we will hear something from Napoleon?

    In a universe where South Africa falls to communist blacks in 1960s and millions of Afrikaners flee to southern US how south it impact civil rights?

    After the annexation of the Transvaal a third of their clergy left for the Netherlands, as they had Dutch passports as well. After WW2 thousands of Dutch migrants went to SA as well. So ’no contact for 200 years’ is simply not true. Even resistance to Apartheid didnt really pick up untill the...

    Queen Victoria dies in 1861, does her son Alfred marry earlier?

    True, I don't know much about Edward's character. Alexander was an intellectual and not that interested in woman. He might be disliked by Edwards because of that. Alexander was involved with a German princess, I cant remember who and I don't have the biography that mentions it here with me...

    Queen Victoria dies in 1861, does her son Alfred marry earlier?

    Yea for Willem, the oldest son of King Willem III. Victoria disliked him but I feel Edward might like him (since they are both playboys).

    Labour wins 1983 election in U.K., goes forward with nuclear disarmament... Then what?

    I know next to nothing about modern Germany, and its kind of of topic, but it sounds really interesting. What kind of outcome could such a constitutional convention have? How would it change Germany post 1990?

    Alexander the Legendary of Britain- Charlotte of Wales' Son (REDO)

    What about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Sophie_of_the_Netherlands as Queen? She might be 7 years older, buuuut your POD is in 1814 so you could have all children of her father (the future Willem II of the Netherlands) be born in different order and be totally different people as well.
