As it say, France have a mass break up, turning into many factions. What will happen now?
No nation in the 19th Century will just "step in" and "grab some pieces of territory" for fear that any nation could do that to them. Like the Congress of Vienna proves, 18th century leaders like status quo in Europe.Surrounding powers step in to exploit the situation and grab some pieces of territory from the undefended enemy that is France, which will eventually cause the splintered factions in the country to reunite and possibly start a 'reconquista'.
This is the most likely thing to happen, with some one either claiming the throne or setting them selves up as the new president.France reunifies after a fairly short time. French identity is too ingrained in Frenchmen for it to be split up for long.
Like i said above this wont happen but what if the Spanish form a treaty with the Kingdom of Pyrennes as its vassal.The only things I can see is other countries nabbing bits and pieces they want. Like Spain grabs the French Pyrennes, Corsica is liberated and falls under someone's influence, etc. Also maybe the Royalists retain part of the nation
Things like these happened all the time, and especially so in the 19th century. Believing this was something unusual or even impossible is fairly short-sighted and naive.No nation in the 19th Century will just "step in" and "grab some pieces of territory" for fear that any nation could do that to them.
