  2. Joseph Ferdinand of Bavaria survives: Do the powers accept? Does Spain modernize?

    In the late 1690s, in the immediate aftermath of the War of the Augsburg League, the Spanish Succession Crisis opened up once more. As mentioned many a time before, both on this site and anywhere, Charles II was inbred and incapable of siring children, meaning that once he dies the Spanish...

  3. Plausibility Check: Hohenzollern Restoration in the Interwar Period

    Less a continuation of an earlier topic (that is the plausibility and who would likely win HoI4's German Civil War) and more talking the feasibility of a Hohenzollern Restoration.

  7. Realistic Territory of a surviving Duchy/Kingdom of Burgundy

    So it's been established through multiple threads that, for the most part, it was unlikely that Burgundy would be able to retain the extensive degree of territories that it had even if Charles was not so bold. So my question is, what would the Burgundian Valois retain, at least at the short...

    I've come through a lot of threads on this site in regards to the Peninsular War, and I've seen a common theme...well two common themes, that France would lose the Peninsular War no matter what is done, and that the only way for France to win is not to play. Now not to sound like a wet...

  20. Question: Why the allies would impose the Sevres Treaty but can't enforce it?

    As the question states, Why would the allies, of whom all were either tired or too much in debt from World War I (UK, France, Italy) or wasn't exactly capable of maintaining their new-gotten gains (Armenia) tried to fight to impose the Treaty of Sevres?
