A Fair and Kinder world

On 1600s tribes in Luzon or Selurong and Celebes especially those tribes that would be a thorn on the Spanish and the Spanish would cede Celebes to Portugal in the 1650s which would lead to Celebes being gained by the Dutch, the land of Luzon/Selurong would be held by the Spanish although they would lose control of lands, these tribes would not convert and flourish and not decline and they were a problem to the Spanish missionaries, on 1650 when the Spanish left Celebes and the Spanish would leave these tribes alone.

On 1661, the Malong-Almazan revolt would be supported by the tribes or population in Selurong or Luzon who were left outside of the Spanish control in the early 1660s, the Spanish would be able to quell and quash the Malong-Almazan revolt with the help of the Merdicas from Ternate.

The Tribes that never converted would reveal themselves as either muslim or pagan and become much of the population in the upper reaches of the provinces of Pampanga and Cagayan and the Spanish would retreat from the area which would later form a polity of their own.

There are both Muslim population in Batangas which are minority and the Upper Regions of Pampanga and Cagayan and River basins and the Pagans would be in the mountains but the muslim minority in Batangas would later assimilate.

On 1668, after the War of Portuguese succession, the Spanish would be forced to let go of the Christians in the Northern Half of Nueva Castilla and cede them to the rule of Infidels in Selurong that they have decided to let go decades ago.

Note

There are accounts of Cryptomuslims in a historian I talked with and some of the groups seem to just pretended to convert.

I am writing a timeline that cancels out the lucky famines and upheavals that happened in the old world that benefited the colonial powers but it is similar to OTL, the POD is unclear.

The Irish Famine will be butterflied as well but we will still have Victoria.

The Old Swiss Confederacy was formally recognised as independent from the Holy Roman Empire, after decades of de facto independence.

The Dutch Republic, which had declared its independence from Spain in 1581, was formally recognised as a fully independent state from both Spain and the Holy Roman Empire.

France retained the Bishoprics of Metz, Toul and Verdun near Lorraine, received the cities of the Décapole in Alsace (except for Strasbourg, the Bishopric of Strasbourg, and Mulhouse) and the city of Pignerol near the Spanish Duchy of Milan.

Sweden received an indemnity of five million thalers, which it used primarily to pay its troops. Sweden further received Western Pomerania (thenceforth Swedish Pomerania), Wismar, and the Prince-Bishoprics of Bremen and Verden as hereditary fiefs, thus gaining a seat and vote in the Imperial Diet of the Holy Roman Empire as well as in the Upper Saxon, Lower Saxon and Westphalian circle diets (Kreistage). However, the wording of the treaties was ambiguous:

To escape incorporation into Swedish Bremen-Verden, the city of Bremen had claimed Imperial immediacy. The emperor had granted this request and separated the city from the surrounding Bishopric of Bremen. Sweden launched the Swedish-Bremen wars in 1653/54 in a failed attempt to take the city.

The treaty did not decide the Swedish-Brandenburgian border in the Duchy of Pomerania. At Osnabrück, both Sweden and Brandenburg had claimed the whole duchy, which had been under Swedish control since 1630 despite legal claims of Brandenburgian succession. While the parties settled for a border in 1653, the underlying conflict continued.

The treaty ruled that the Dukes of Mecklenburg, owing their re-investiture to the Swedes, cede Wismar and the Mecklenburgian port tolls. While Sweden understood this to include the tolls of all Mecklenburgian ports, the Mecklenburgian dukes as well as the emperor understood this to refer to Wismar only.

Wildeshausen, a petty exclave of Bremen-Verden and fragile basis for Sweden's seat in the Westphalian circle diet, was also claimed by the Bishopric of Münster.

Bavaria retained the Palatinate's vote in the Electoral College of the Holy Roman Empire, which it was granted by the imperial ban on the Elector Palatine Frederick V in 1623. The Prince Palatine, Frederick's son, was given a new, eighth electoral vote.

The Palatinate was divided between the re-established Elector Palatine Charles Louis (son and heir of Frederick V) and Elector-Duke Maximilian of Bavaria, and thus between the Protestants and Catholics. Charles Louis obtained the Lower Palatinate, along the Rhine, while Maximilian kept the Upper Palatinate, to the north of Bavaria.

Brandenburg-Prussia received Farther Pomerania, and the Bishoprics of Magdeburg, Halberstadt, Kammin, and Minden.

The succession to the Jülich-Cleves-Berg, whose last duke had died in 1609, was clarified. Jülich, Berg, and Ravenstein were given to the Count Palatine of Neuburg, while Cleves, Mark, and Ravensberg went to Brandenburg.

The Prince-Bishopric of Osnabrück would alternate between Catholic and Lutheran bishops, with the Protestant bishops chosen from the cadets of the House of Brunswick-Lüneburg.

Barriers to trade and commerce erected during the war were abolished, and "a degree" of free navigation was guaranteed on the Rhine.

Peace of Westphalia
Freepedia



On the end of the 30 years war, the peace of Westphalia the Polish population in Silesia and continguous to the Population of Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth would be intact just like before the war including the Duchy of Cieszyn as well as the German population of Bohemia and the population of the Holy Roman Empire as well as of the Czechs would stay similarly intact, the only things different would be casualties of the war.

The Polish population of Silesia would support the Habsburgs until Poland would annex the Polish inhabited Silesia in the Austrian War of Succession.

In the Duchies of Pomerania the Slavic population would remain intact in the war as well.

On 1848, the Irish population would increase that the surplus would migrate to Britain and the new world in the United States and Canada creating an Irish population.

The Irish Population would shape and participate in the history of Great Britain during the reign of Victoria and the Irish would have their own nationalism as well and the Irish would also help the Highlands of Scotland maintain their population.

The Irish would have helped the New World due to the descendants of Irish being important people helping create the diverse nations of the new world.

The Irish Surplus would end on 1870 due to the decline of Birth rates and due to the Surplus population that has left Ireland.

On 1736, Maria Theresa, the heiress of the Austrian Inheritance would marry Francis the heir of Lorraine, the House of Lorraine would replace the Habsburgs in Austria.

On 1743, Maria Theresa and Francis of Lorraine would transfer Lower Silesia North of Oder and the Duchies of Opole, Raciborz and Cieszyn to her cousin, Maria Amalia’s husband, Frederick Augustus due to the Polish majority of these areas and Maria Theresa in exchange of the suzerainty of Prussia and Lorraine would be given up to France in exchange for the Duchy of Tuscany.

The Spanish would gradually expand in California in Oregon and the Nootka region which is now known as parts of the region informally called as the Sonora territory which is the Northern part of the New Spain that is majorly inhabited by Whites.

The Spanish would start to slowly colonize California and Texas territories slowly during the 17th to 18th century, the Spanish would focus on the colonization of the North of Mexico or the land informally called as Sonora more and made it a part of the Alcapulco trade, the transfer of the Louisiana territory to the Spanish prior to the end of the 7 years war would make the Louisiana territory a part Sonora region in the North of New Spain.

Sonora would be inhabited by the Irish and Italian immigrants as well which would enrich Sonora during the 19th century creating a hugely Catholic White bloc in the North of Mexico.

On the end of the 7 years war, the Spanish would start to Expand in Louisiana settling the area with Italian and German colonists from the Holy Roman Empire with the help of the Austrians and the French and the Spanish would plot the annexation of the British American colonies due to the upheavals in the British American Colonies, the 13 Colonies would fight for their independence and ally with the Spanish only to end up gobbled in whole by New Spain in 1770 since the treaty with the British would cede the 13 colonies to the Spanish.

The settlers from Spain who fled with the King on 1808 would also settle in both Sonora or now the Core of New Spain and the 13 colonies.

On 1808 the revolt of the Mestizos and Natives would start to happen happen 1815 after the return of the royals from Mexico the regions of South of Mexico with a mestizo and native population as well as the Southern and Central Americas would start to revolt and Spain would fail to manage to fight the new revolts as they are aided by Napoleonic France.

I expect the the citizens of the 13 colonies wouldn’t be happy being ruled by a foreign invader.

I imagine that the White Latins i.e. the Cajuns, Spanish-Americans, Irish-Americans, and Italian-Americans would oppress the WASP population ITTL here, the blacks would be more invisible here.

On the 17th century, the Kingdom of Tungning would conquer the Dutch in Taiwan as well as threaten the Spanish in the South that they would sack Manila if the Spanish don’t give them their own tributes but the Kingdom of Tungning would be conquered by the Qing Empire in 1683 while the Kingdom of Selurong in the North which are allied to the Dutch which would solidify itself in the treaty of Lisbon in 1668 gaining the provinces of Cagayan, Pampanga, Ilocos, and Pangasinan which were under the Spanish, similar to the earlier loss of Celebes in the 1650s.

The Spanish in Mindanao would also lose due to the prowess of the Sultan Kudarat and the Spanish would abandon their colonies in Zamboanga, from 1663 to 1718 the Maguindanao Sultanate would rule Mindanao and the Spanish would regain fort Pilar in Zamboanga in 1719, the Spanish or Chavacano population of Mindanao would prove their own loyalty to the Spanish, the new language would also spread in the Sultanate of Maguindanao due to the settlement of the Speakers of Chavacano in Davao and Cotabato.

On the end of the 7 years war, the Spanish would start to Expand in Louisiana settling the area with Italian and German colonists from the Holy Roman Empire with the help of the Austrians and the French.

On the Sacramento in California would be established the later second and permanent capital of New Spain named Nueva Madrid on 1770 and settled it with Spanish, Burgundian and Italian Immigrants which would be made the other capital of Spain in the new world.

On 1808, the Spanish royalty would decide to flee to New Spain rather than Charles IV abdicating from Spain letting Napoleon control the country of Spain, something that the Portuguese royalty would later do as well.

Due to this a Spanish Republic was setup temporarily until its defeat in the second coalition in 1815 against the royalists in New Spain and the coalition at it allied with and due to this the Bourbons under Louis XVII who escaped during the French revolution was restored in France.

On 1808 the revolt of the Mestizos and Natives in Mexico started by Gabriel de Yermo initially would start to happen after the return of the royals from Mexico On 1815 the regions of South of Mexico with a mestizo and native population as well as the Southern and Central Americas would start to leave New Spain and Spain would fail to manage to fight the new revolts as they are aided by Napoleonic France due to the Independence of Mexico in 1821, New Spain would transfer its capital to Sacramento in California in the Sonora region[1] on 1821 when they recognized the loss of Mexico.

In the end only the Philippines, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Sonora region under the name of New Spain would be retained by the Spanish.

During the reign of Victoria II in Britain many Irish would resettle to New Spain and would assimilate to its society.

I decided to remove the annexation of the 13 colonies scenario it would be an overextension.

On the flight of the Varennes, the Royal Family of France would escape and went to Austria with the Dauphin and the daughters of Marie Antoinette, this would enable a return of Louis XVII with his wife, Marie Louise of Austria to the French throne on 1814, his sister, Marie Therese married Ferdinand VII of Spain on 1802 and accompanied him to new Spain, Louis XVII’s first wife Maria Antonia of Sicily would die on 1806 and Marie Louise would be his wife afterwards, the two would have a son named Francis born on March 20, 1811, Louis XVII would be widely called by the Orleans house as Fersenot.

The Congress of Vienna would restore both the Bourbons in the throne of Spain and France, most notably the Spanish Bourbons who have been exiled to New Spain.

The marriage of Marie Therese and Ferdinand VII of Spain would be barren until her death on 1829 afterward, he would remarry to Maria Christina of two Sicilies.

In 1815 in the congress of Vienna, when the Bourbons returned, there were only three male of the main Bourbons that survived, Louis XVII(known to his enemies as a bastard king, because they believe that he is the son of Marie Antoinette and another man), Archbishop Louis Antoine and the Duke of Berry, the father of Montpensier whose line will get extinct in the male line.

In 1830, Louis Phiippe with the support of the Bonapartes, the relatives of Napoleon depose Louis XVII and would exile the supporters of the bastard king including the other Bourbons to Spain and declare himself as the King of France and declare the other Bourbons as the supporters of the Fake King, on 1848, Louis Napoleon would declare himself as Napoleon II and started a rebellion and deposed Louis Philippe and his reign would end on 1852 when the Second French republic was established.

On 1869, Isabella II would be deposed in Spain and replaced by Amedeo of Savoy and on 1874, Alfonso XII would be King after a compromise and Isabella would continue ruling on New Spain and will be the regent in 1886 on the death of her son Alfonso XII for his infant son Alfonso XIII.

Her rule as regent of Alfonso XIII and ruler of New Spain in 1886 to 1904 would be the one that is remembered because of the cession of Spanish Mindanao to the Maguindanao Sultan in December 1898 which means that the lands of Mindanao will be under the Maguindanao Sultan and will be the only Romance speaking country in Asia and at the same year made border treaties with the Tagarug republic or Republic of Selurong which was the elusive and reclusive Selurong which is elusive to the outsiders.

On 1859, Umberto of Savoy is betrothed to Anne Beatrice of Modena, the heiress of Francis V, Duke of Modena, whose dowry was the rest of Lombardy under an alliance between Savoy and the Austrians, the marriage between the Savoyards and the Habsburgs was a part of a big alliance between the Savoyards, Anna Beatrice and her cousin Matilda of Poland/Grand Duchess Alexandra(who married Alexander III of Russia) were considered wives for Umberto of Savoy but Vittorio Emmanuelle II would pick Anna Beatrice instead of Matilda with the dowry of Lombardy, Anna Beatrice would be considered as manipulative as she would pick the wife of her child, Vittorio Emmanuele which would be Eulialia of Spain for the Spanish to abandon the alliance with the deposed ruling house of Two Sicilies.

On 1860 the Savoyards and Austrians would join in annexing the Two Sicilies and later the Spanish under the regency of Isabella II would help the Italians annexing Corsica in 1890 due to the marriage of Eulalia of Spain and Vittorio Emmanuelle in 1884.

In 1815 in the congress of Vienna, when the Bourbons returned, there were only three male of the main Bourbons that survived, Louis XVII, known to his enemies as Fersenot, because they believe that he is the son of Marie Antoinette and Fersen, Archbishop Louis Antoine and the Duke of Berry, the father of Montpensier whose line will get extinct in the male line.

In 1830, Louis Phiippe with the support of the Bonapartes, the relatives of Napoleon depose Louis XVII and would exile the supporters of Fersenot including the other Bourbons to Spain and declare himself as the King of France and declare the other Bourbons as the supporters of the Fake King, on 1848, Louis Napoleon would declare himself as Napoleon II and started a rebellion and deposed Louis Philippe and his reign would end on 1852 when the Second French republic was established.

That would mean who Marie Antoinette and Fersen’s relationship was widely know, something who in OTL was NOT. Fersen is NEVER named among Antoinette’s lovers in contemporary libels. More likely they would suspect Artois to be the father of Louis XVII…

On the early 1808-1821, the British would support the independence of the Mestizo Mexico from Spain causing the creation of the white New Spain and Mexico which was briefly led by Maximilian of Habsburg-Lorraine on 1864-1867.

On Crimean War, the British would be given the American territories of the Russians due to their victory in 1856.

In February 1917 during the Spring of Nations War the British were kicked from their New World colonies by a Socialist revolt based on the teachings of Karl Marx creating the new country of United Socialist States of America.

On December 10, 1949, Takumoto Higurashi[1], the head of the Japanese communist party with the support of USSA would take over the civil war torn Japan due to the populace not recognizing Yoshihito(Taisho) as their emperor due to his illegitimate parentage, this the end of the status quo that started in Japan due to the opening of Japan in 1854 by the British, the Communist Japanese would annex Southern Korea and Ryukyus in 1950s, Hokkaido would remain independent as it is majority Ainu.

The Northern half of Korea would be under the rule of the Joseon Dynasty which is a puppet of Xuantong(Puyi)/Henry I of China.

Gavrilo Princip would assassinate Franz Ferdinand which would start the war of the Russians and the Austrians and their puppet country of Poland who they inherited by adoption from the Polish Wettins which is the War of the Spring of Nations because it occurred in the second spring of Nations, on 1917, the American colonies of Britain would declare independence as a Socialist Nation.

The loss of the Central Powers and the deposition of the Habsburg in the Austrian Empire and their puppet country Poland would mean that Germany would annex the remaining parts of Silesia that was not ceded to Poland by Austria, Sudetyland and Austria proper, the Countries of Czechia and Slovakia would find themselves independent and the territories of Veneto, Carinthia, Carniola and the Kingdom of Croatia would find themselves in Slovakia in 1921 and the Russians would annex the Ruthenian lands from Poland which is now a republic.

On 1916 the Irish would rebel for independence and the rebellion would spread and by 1920 the British authority would collapse, they would choose Carlo di Savoia(December 10, 1900), the younger brother of the future Umberto II(December 10, 1892) as their ruler on 1920, who they would crown as Charles III on 1921 as the first King of an independent Ireland.

On April 14, 1931, Alfonso XIII would be deposed in Spain although the Kingdom of New Spain would continue having him as a monarch, Canarias and Spanish Sahara would remain part of New Spain.

On July 4, 1946, the Royalist New Spain would grant the Philippines or Filipinas its independence although after the independence the relationship between the Tagarug republic and the Philippines would be tough as the former Christian tribes of Lower Tagarug republic the Kapampangans, Kaboloan, Itawes and Ibanags would gradually revert to Islam after 1668 but the Ilocanos would not causing the Tagarug republic to oppress them and also the fact that the Tagarug republic believes the Spanish Selurong or Nueva Castilla to be their own territory and does not recognize it as a part of the independent Philippines which would be a heated talk in the two countries.

On 1970, New Spain would reclaim Spain from Franco the winner of the Spanish civil war and the two factions would sign peace on July 4, 1975 on the treaty of Madrid assigning Juan Carlos not Alfonso IX, the King of New Spain and the direct claimant as well as the which would mean that New Spain would now be an independent country and the two colonies and territories of Spanish Sahara and Canarias would be ceded back to the Kingdom of Spain,July 4 is celebrated as the friendship day of New Spain and Spain.
