Is there any way the French Wars of Religion could lead to a geographic partition that lasts beyond the wars?
From the maps I've seen the Huguenots had more military dominance in the south and the the Catholics had more military dominance in the north.
Could outside powers tweak their participation to cause prolonged statement and partition?
My thinking is the Habsburgs prioritize breaking France up over a national victory by the Catholic League. Perhaps with England having similar priorities, prioritizing the break up of France over a national victory by Huguenots.
In essence for the Habsburgs it would be turnabout for French support of Protestant German nobles and for the English turnabout for France's Auld Alliance with Scotland.
