How would the constitutional ability for the individual Confederate States to levy taxes on domestic and foreign ships that use their waterways affect the Confederacy, militarily, politically, and just in general?
Ottomans need french to keep their domains because their armies would be cannon fodder against armies of prussian soldier kings1. The Ottomans themselves are even more inserted into the balance of power considerations here
they can't fight france without austria as war of spanish succession showed just england withdrawing meant others can't keep fighting replace england with austria2. Spain, and the Spanish Netherlands, and Spanish Italy is always a consideration
saxony elector becomes emperor since they are strongest catholic rulers in HRE3. Without Austria, what has happened to the HRE?
Britain invades and occupies Louisiana "to prevent Napoleon from conquering it." They then refuse to return it. They add more territories when F7 decides it's a great idea to waste the rest of their resources going to war against Britain over Louisiana. (Yes, F7 is really that stupid)In a scenario where Britain never loses the 13 colonies, what's the most likely scenario where Britain gets the Louisiana territory?
Settlers cross the mountains and clash with Indians, supported by British American troops. At some point, Spain reacts with its own militias leading to warIn a scenario where Britain never loses the 13 colonies, what's the most likely scenario where Britain gets the Louisiana territory?

It's more likely the Republican bloc would be the Central Powers, considering the 1848 revolutions washed over the empires of central and eastern Europe more than Britain, which only suffered Chartist unrest, and France, which within five years reverted to a kind of monarchy. Have the nationalisms of Europe rally behind a red flag, and it could happen.What if European geopolitics ends up with a Republican bloc (let's say equivalent to the OTL Entente) and a Monarchist bloc (TTL equivalent of Central Powers) by 1900?
Thing is, most of Central/Eastern European revolutionaries in 1848 advocated for constitutional monarchies. In addition, as Central/Eastern Europe had no republican tradition and more importanly was dominated by conservative rural majority population-wise, the revolutionaries here did not really have a strong power base. Central European monarches also had strong army ready to suppress revolutions.It's more likely the Republican bloc would be the Central Powers, considering the 1848 revolutions washed over the empires of central and eastern Europe
