OOC: Unlike most DBWI I've not made the POD clear. I'm hoping we can work out the best one to achieve the idea. IC: So, with the increasing absolutism of the Catholic monarchs and the successes of the Reform movement in France, Netherlands, etc, does this mean that republicanism in the British...

OOC: while Magna Carta was issued before the 100 year war broke out, if it failed idk how well it would be known OTL, Britain has had an absolute monarchy in all but name for centuries. Your goal is to change that. I have to imagine you'll want to have one side or another actually win the...

The reign of the Catholic Monarchs (Ferdinand and Isabella) saw the unification of Spain and the dawn of the Spanish Empire, but also a major centralization of power which came at the expense of the independent political influence of the nobility and bourgeoisie (which, prior to their reign, had...

Basically what the title says. Let's say the French revolution is butterflied somehow and the Ancien Régime continues onward. Without the Revolution to stoke the anti-Absolutist and nationalist fires, how long with European Absolutism last? To 1814? 1848? Could we see it survive intact into the...
