I was walking home today and had this idea where following a war of succession an empire - say the spanish one - was partitioned in a peace settlement; say the senior branch of a family getting the motherland, branch 2 getting New Spain, the Caribbean and the Philippines, the Republicans hold Great Britain while the Royalists hold America, and so on. I think a TL with this as a theme has great potential but I can't think of enough ways to break the major European dynasties so as to litter America and India with a bunch of European early modern kingdoms :(
