AHC: Governments of France & Prussia switched.

For most of the 19th and the early 20th century, France was a republic and Prussia was an absolute monarchy.

Challenge: With no PODs before January 1st, 1700, have France be the absolute monarchy that eventually unites all lands that it had OTL 1811, and have Prussia be the republic alongside Great Britain.
 
One of the peace treaties between Napoleon and Britain sticks, and France remains under the First Empire indefinitely. Prussia is weaker than IOTL, and TTL's equivilent of the 1848 revolutions overthrows the Prussian monarchy rather than resulting in a strong constitutional monarchy.
