    An Imperial Match: Anne Boleyn marries Charles V

    Just read through this and definitely like it so far. With the Boleyn family, hopefully they can get out in time because this is going to turn ugly real fast. George was always said to be pretty intelligent so I can already guess he’s looking for a way out but I’m sure that Anne can get a...

    Impact if France retains Alsace-Lorraine

    Honestly the indemnity amount would probably be even higher tbh. The Germans are going to need something to make it worth their while to back off A-L

    Did Charles V know of his American possessions?

    Yes Charles was quite aware of them and cared, a noted example would be when Francisco Pizarro met him in person to appeal for permission and support to launch a third expedition into South America. He was overall impressed with accounts of the lands wealth in gold and silver but distracted...

    WI: Maria Theresa, Queen of Hungary

    Then they won’t get it without winning another war

    WI: Maria Theresa, Queen of Hungary

    They don’t without trading something somewhere else for it. Or Hungary gets into another war and loses. As for the Habsburg rule in Italy I think it’ll last for at the most a generation before Joseph ITTL does a grand trade of those non contiguous lands for land that is. An example could be...

    Austrian Kleindeutschland

    I’d suspect that in this scenario Silesia would be taken by Austria due to whatever alt war with Prussia allowed the formation of this Kleindudstchland.

    Rudolf, Crown Prince of Austria marries Infanta Maria Antonia of Portugal

    Yeah that would be doable, it also helps that in this scenario he has already delivered a son or more so Franz-Joseph could be inclined to loosen up a tad

    Rudolf, Crown Prince of Austria marries Infanta Maria Antonia of Portugal

    Federalism definitely, but I’m suspecting it would be of a asymmetrical design in order to handle the various different demands of language, ethnicity, etc. Yeah the whole situation was bound for trouble. Franz sincerely loved his son it just was that as an absolute monarch of a dynasty as old...

    Rudolf, Crown Prince of Austria marries Infanta Maria Antonia of Portugal

    I think he’d do alright, though it’s going to get messy with the idealism he has. In this scenario he already has a growing family to lean on for support so his mental stability should be better which is a plus. At this time the liberals had merged into the various nationalist political groups...

    Rudolf, Crown Prince of Austria marries Infanta Maria Antonia of Portugal

    He may have gave it a thought but Franz always sternly kept imperial authority close at hand. In fact he was notorious for it even till his death when it was obvious he should have been delegating authority over to Karl to give him experience and exposure, he only grudgingly did so and...

    Rudolf, Crown Prince of Austria marries Infanta Maria Antonia of Portugal

    No it was not in his character to abdicate. Franz Joseph considered his role as monarch and head of the Habsburg dynasty as a sacred duty which no argument could be brook. Hence the problem between him and Rudolf is that Rudolf didn’t understand like Franz Ferdinand did, that he needed to play...

    AHC/WI:Congo Free State Franz-Joseph edition?

    Id suspect that in this situation Franz would rule it directly as a private possession of the Habsburg Dynasty. A plausible reason for Franz to have wanted to gain the Congo would have been after Leopolds atrocities came to light. During that period the Belgium government had tried to find a...

    AHC: Modern-Day Hunnic Ethnic group(s)

    Well you do have the modern day Szekler ethnic group in Transylvania who historically have claimed descent from Attila’s Huns.

    Avoid the Sinization of Manchuria

    A possibility is that the Manchus before the conquest could have unified and simply developed their own independent Jurchen/Manchu state. From which they could develop the necessary measures to resist sinofication

    James II: King of America

    I would think it would be a mix of English and Scottish. You could use the title of Earl in the same way the French used the title of seigneur in New France. More or less copying that system and applying it within the Kingdom. Allowing for orderly land distribution and settlement for fleeing...
