So I'm writing my TL and I was trying to achieve an alternate peace treaty to Hats' War and is this besides my Main POD. But I recently discovered that there was a preliminary peace treaty which goes with the French party's option for peace, but I'm trying to get Bestuzhev's option for peace chosen. However I'm pretty sure preliminary treaties have to be ratified by both governments which would make them somewhat binding. However I've written significantly past that point and I'm now wondering if I can avoid a lot of rewriting by simply having Empress Elizabeth change her mind for the final peace treaty and braking the preliminary peace treaty. Things that go for this occurring is that Elizabeth was notably inconsistent. So can I have her break the preliminary peace, or is that too out of order?
Also as a result of the preliminary peace Sweden already completed one of the conditions and elected the Russian candidate heir to Sweden's throne. So might it be better for me to just go with a secondary POD that results in a different preliminary peace. Or seeing as Adolf Frederick was only elected heir, could I just have the Swedish rip up that paper and elect a different heir if Elizabeth went against the preliminary peace treaty?
