So, I think I might've posted a thread like this before, but I don't think it got much traction. If Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor had a surviving son, say either his son Leopold born in 1716 or a boy born in 1724, instead of Maria Amalia, and if this boy survives into adulthood, one imagines this butterflies the pragmatic sanction. One also imagines this removes the Austrian War of Succession. Does this consequently prevent the diplomatic revolution, and Austria moving to ally with France? Furthermore, without the Austrian War of Succession, does this remove Silesia going to Prussia, and also preventing the loss of Naples and Milan for Austria?
