Young Maria Theresa
Verse 1

On 1725, Louis I of Spain's wife Louise Elizabeth of Orleans gives birth to a son named Philip, on the same year Charles of Parma, the heir of Elizabeth Farnese would be betrothed to the heiress of Austria, Maria Theresa and the sister of Maria Theresa, Marianne is betrothed to Francis Stephen of Austria.

The marriage between Infante Charles and Maria Theresa were celebrated on 1735, and many of the powers were against the marriage since her father Charles VI has no son yet at this point due to him getting only daughters, the other european powers will be against this marriage and due to this fact the father of Maria Theresa would try in vain to produce new progeny.

The Kings of France and Spain would encourage such marriage since this would mean that the French would have some influence in Austria, Infante Charles would be bestowed of the Duchy of Parma by his own mother Elizabeth and the Austrian Netherlands by his father in law upon marriage, however the marriage would mean that in the future other powers would wage war upon them, however other powers are against match since it would mean that Germany and Austria would be under the Bourbons a dangerous possibility, however there was no harsh opposition to the match, however Maria Theresa was fond of the Duke of Lorraine and Teschen however, he was given Princess Marianne as a consolation due to the marriage.

The marriage was a dangerous thing by the other powers like English but Charles VI would not have a son and Maria Theresa have been given the inheritance of Bohemia and Hungary and have Maria Theresa’s husband secure the election as the Holy Roman Emperor position.

Maria Theresa would give birth to a son finally for Infante Charles in 1637 which she would name as Ferdinand on May 2, 1537, all in all Maria Theresa and Infante Charles would have other children named Catherine(November 2, 1539), Eleonore(May 2, 1641), Charles(April 2, 1643), Leopold(July 5, 1545) and Maria Antonia(January 2, 1651), Leopold, Charles and Maria Antonia would be born during later the war of Austrian Succession.

The marriage would result in a war of Austrian succession in 1640’s after the death of Charles IV with France and Spain on the Couple’s side and the Bavarians, Saxons, Prussians and the British on the Other side.

Verse 2

On the earlier half of the 18th century or the 1700's, the population of Northern Luzon's pagans/hindus such as the Irrayas in the upper Pampanga and Cagayan river valleys who resist the Spanish would start recover from the earlier famine and recover in population and not affected by the famine , something that the Spanish did not expect to happen, the Pagans would reorganize their resistance from the Spanish in the upper reaches of the Cagayan and Pampanga river valleys and continue to organize their resistance, the Ibanags and Kapampangans would also not be affected by the famine as well.

The population of the pagans would double once they recovered from the famine in the mid part of the 18th century, they would benefit in the halt of the conquest and military by the Spanish in their area as well as in the lumad area of Mindanao in the 19th century and the tribes would start to merge as the population increase..

The Tagalog population in Batangas near the crater of Taal volcano would be affected by the eruption in Taal in 1754 century but would also recover as well, however due to population increase of the pagans north they would stop their northern migration.

Oath of Fealty to Maria Theresa

Verse 3

On 1740, Charles VI of the Holy Roman Empire would die and Maria Theresa and her husband would be the one who would inherit the Holy Roman Empire and they are in odds with the Saxons who are also have an ambition on Silesia and so do the Austrians the Saxons would want to get Silesia to unite Saxony in land with Poland, however, Maria Theresa would have ideas on her own and she grants Francis Stephen and her sister Marianne the Duchy of Oppeln and forwarded Francis Stephen as their candidate to the Polish throne, that would not be bad since the Vatican and the Habsburgs are planning a return of at least parts of Silesia in their terms since the time of Bona Sforza and the war of Austrian succession would start in Poland.

On the death of Charles VI, Maria Theresa is confirmed to be King and Queen of Bohemia and Hungary along with her husband, Infante Charles.

Francis Stephen and Marianne would have two sons with Marianne named Leopold(May 2, 1738) and Charles(November 10, 1670) and later two daughters named Marianne(July 14, 1743) and Therese(April 2, 1750).

Maria Theresa would suggest the French King to support Francis Stephen as the candidate to the Polish throne, since the French King is married to the daughter of the Previous King of France, he would support Francis Stephen if his son, Leopold is to marry one of his daughters namely Therese or Sophie, Therese would turn out to be sickly and he would choose Sophie as the bride to Leopold.

The Saxons, the Bavarians and the English would declare a war on the beginning 1641 due to them opposing Maria Theresa and Infante Charles' ascension to the German throne.

The war began under the pretext that Maria Theresa was ineligible to succeed to the Habsburg thrones of her father, Charles VI, because Salic law precluded royal inheritance by a woman. In practice, this was an excuse put forward by Kingdoms of England, Hanover, Saxony and Prussia, joined by the Electorate of Bavaria, to challenge Habsburg power while Maria Theresa was supported by France and Spain.

The war ended with the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle in 1748, by which Maria Theresa was confirmed as Archduchess of Austria and Queen of Hungary and Francis Stephen as Francis I of Poland and Infante Charles is made as Charles VII the Holy Roman Emperor.

On May 2, 1742, Elizabeth Christine of Brunswick would give birth to a daughter named Sophia who would be forced to be married via treaty of Aix la Chapelle to Prince Ferdinand of Austria which would lead Brandenburg and Prussia in a union with the now Bourbon Austria, Hungary and Bohemia.

Verse 4
Seven-Years-War-Fall-of-Kolberg-AB.jpg


Verse 4

Conflict between Great Britain, Spain and France broke out in 1754-1756 when the british attacked disputed French positions in North America which would start in a British ambush of a small French force at the battled of Jumonville Glen on May 28, 1754 and extended across the colonial boundaries and seizure of hundreds of French merchant ships at the sea.

The War would extend to the Philippines due to them supporting the rebellions of Palaris and Silang and this would start the entrance of Protestants in the Philippines in Luzon whose population are weary of the clergy.

The war ended with the Treaty of Paris between France, Spain and Great Britain in 1766, thus it would be called as the 10 years war.

On 1760, Maria Theresa’s son, Ferdinand marries Sophia of Prussia, the daughter of Frederick of Prussia which would integrate the two realms of Prussia and Austria under the Bourbon-Parma who are vying to rule Austria.

After the war, the settlers in British America would start to revolt.

During 1745 after the time of the famine the provinces of Batangas and Cavite would experience upheavals due to the conflicts of the common people and the friars due to the Friar abuses.

In the Philippines Due to the Famine favoring the pagans rather than the Christians, the Pagans would be raiding the Spanish settlements in the coasts of Luzon, this would ruin the Spanish control in Luzon in the long term the Population of the Ibanags and Kapampangans would be sympathetic of the Pagans and the Pagans would regain their in population in Tuguegarao.

The revolts of the Ilocanos and Pangasinenses by Palaris and Silang which is aided by the British in the 10 years war would also help the hostile Ibanags, Kapampangans and the Pagans in the long term and the British and Dutch missionaries would go to the Ibanag, Malaueg, Itawis, Kapampangan, Ilocano ,Pangasinense and Tagalog population which would start the reformation in the area which are weary of the abusive clergy, the Spanish would not be able to stop this because the Pagans are a more serious problem than the protestants who are beginning to rise.
