Jacques Cartier - conqueror of the Aztec state, and the first Viceroy of Meshico.
The discovery of the New Continent took place on March 9, 1500, the expedition of Pedro Alvaris Cabral went to the shores of India along the da Gama route. However, by the forces of winds and currents, Cabral's ships were pulled down much west of the known routes; trying to return to familiar waters, the Portuguese headed south and on April 24 landed on a new, unknown and uncharted land called Vera Cruz. Soon other European powers began to look for new lands.
In April 1502, a French expedition headed by the Venetian navigators, the Cabo brothers, set out in search of the western lands. The result of his activities was the founding of the governorate of Utremer, which includes the island of Cuba, Charleua (OTL - Haiti), the Saint Martin Islands (OTL - Lesser Antilles), the Madeleine Islands (Bahamas), and the New Brittany Peninsula (OTL - Florida).
By 1535, the French crown managed to establish the work of the colony, however, in fact, all activities were controlled by Italian mercenaries led by the Verazzano brothers, which caused the discontent of the Norman and Breton sailors. In 1534, opposition leader Jacques Fleury discovered the Yucatan Peninsula. Upon his return, his property was confiscated by the governor Giovanni Verazzano, who, however, organized his expedition - appointing the Breton captain Jacques Cartier (despite his origin, he enjoyed the confidence of the governor).
In August 1536, the Cartier expedition visited the island of Ekab, where the Mayan principality was located, and subdued it. On September 3, Cartier landed on the coast of the Aztec empire itself and entered into a military alliance with the Tlaxcalans.
On November 11, the battle of Cholula took place, in which the flower of the Aztec aristocracy and the Emperor Kuautemok himself died. The Aztec state, which held power in Meshiko with an iron grip for more than a century, disappeared like smoke. On November 15, after the plundering of Cholula, Cartier's detachment, together with the Tlashkalans, moved west, and on December 7, the French entered Tenochtitlan, which surrendered without a fight.
After the fall of Tenochtitlan, the entire Aztec state gradually came under French rule. How Cartier organized the organization of new territories will be discussed in the sections below, but while he faced other tasks - on March 17, Girolamo Verrazano personally landed in Maclovia with a French detachment. The brothers already learned about the success of Cartier, but decided to deprive him of these victories. Giovanni appointed his brother the ruler of the new territory and Girolamo took control of Maclovia, summoning Cartier to negotiate. A month later, Cartier and Verrazano met near Maclovia, but Cartier refused to transfer the country to Verrazano, after which the latter began to prepare for battle. But Girolamo's ambitions were ruined by his own soldiers - on the morning before the battle, they killed the Italians loyal to Verrazano, and he himself was taken prisoner. So Cartier's army was replenished, and he himself sent an ambassador to King Francis, to Europe, with numerous gifts, hoping to win the royal court to his side. After two years of courts at court and clashes in Utremer itself, Cartier arrived in Paris himself, where, after much gossip, he was appointed first Viceroy.
Thinking of doing Aurora / Sleeping Beauty next.
While I'm planning that story (which involves an indeed-poisoned needle and an ancient prophecy), let's go through what I'm thinking to do for the de-mythologized Disney Princesses.
Snow White's 7 dwarfs are implied to be early hominids, but otherwise the story remains the same. May draw inspiration from the "natural poison / carbon antidote" shown in this Film Theory episode.
Ariel, the Little Mermaid, is drastically changed and explores the dynamics between humanity (the Italian city states, following the recent theories about the film taking place in the Mediterranean) and the mermaids (ruled by king Triton). Along the way, a third party (Ursula) manipulates them into fighting against each other (could be done by use of her human form).
The Beast is a werewolf, with his story remaining the same as in the film. Human by day, but monstrous at night (although retaining some of his human attributes, he is more aggressive) Now having learned humility, he seeks a solution in Belle, a new girl who came to his castle. Also involves some wolfsbane in Belle's town, which needs to be infused into the Beast's blood to cure him, and a werewolf hunter (Gaston) who seeks to kill the Beast once and for all.
Aladdin is set in the early modern Ottoman Empire, with the only magical elements being sorcery, the flying carpet, and most important of all, the Djinn lamp. Otherwise, remains true to that time.
Pocahontas is a tale about the early colonization of the Americas, and a brave girl (Matoaka / Pocahontas) who stood up for the Powhatan tribes in Virginia during the foundation of the town of Jamestown. No happy ending, as while the film ends with a stalemate with the English, an epilogue title shows what really happened afterwards: she was captured by the English then brought to London.
Mulan maintains the fantastical elements, but keeps the rest accurate to the Northern Wei period when the original Hua Mulan was told. Somewhat. (Will probably have a major nomadic tribe group raiding China for the sake of story)
The Princess and the Frog remains the same as OTL.
Tangled follows a different story, which connects it to Frozen and Frozen II. This would lead to the trio being called the Arendelle Trilogy. Long ago, a drop of sun fell from the sky and inhabited a flower in Norway, near Nærøyfjord, which is settled by the Norsemen and named Arundel. Centuries pass, and the townspeople use the magical abilities of the flower for their own needs (revealed in Frozen), resulting in a German aristocrat named Gothel von Koehler getting her hands on a petal of the flower and using it to maintain her youth for decades. Gone mad over the flower's effectiveness (but not due to the flower itself), she abducts a girl named Rapunzel from a random German small state and hides out in a cliff to avoid being hunted down by the HRE's forces.
Rapunzel is raised by Gothel, who also slowly feeds her the flower, granting her magical abilities, including rapid regeneration; all of this is granted by her long hair.
Then a guy named Flynn arrives, and Rapunzel's desire to go outside conflicts with her mother's desires. She ventures out of her tower for the first time in 18 years, and the movie is largely the same from there. Rapunzel cuts her long hair, which causes Gothel to age rapidly and die as she is sapped of the flower's ability; this costs her the power the flower brought. Able to finally go without Gothel's invasive presence in her life, she takes steps to reconcile with her long lost family.
Frozen follows the booming Norwegian town of Arundel in the 1840s, and the story of 2 sisters: Anna (normal) and Elsa (granted powers by the flower). Since Elsa usually liked to play in the cold, her powers manifested as snow and ice. She keeps her powers secret to a bunch of foreign visitors, but accidentally unveils them on the night of her coronation, so she flees to a remote area deeper into Norway's glaciers. With this ability finally revealed to the world, Elsa isolates herself further, and under stress, unleashes a massive ice storm that ravages the European states.
Now that there's a powerful sorceress who has incredible feats and can freeze Europe and maybe the world, Europe (and Norway) turns on Arundel, and the town is sieged. Elsa is eventually captured and refuses to cooperate, but with the help of Kristoff, Anna gets through to her before the German prince Hans manages to kill Elsa. With Elsa now calmed at last, Arundel seeks to change their reputation as the most dangerous city in Europe...
Frozen II reveals how Arundel has changed. Arundel is now occupied jointly by the British, Germans, Danish, and Norwegians, and Elsa is stuck in a European prison. But when a voice begins to call out to Elsa and the people of Arundel, Anna realizes that they have to go back to their mystical past to unlock its mystery and reconcile it with the present.
This film also reveals the link to Tangled, with Rapunzel being a supporting character who also goes on the search of the Flower along with Anna, a released Elsa, and other European explorers. The Northuldra, here an indigenous Norwegian people, feature massively in the plot, and they're revealed to have been the first caretakers of the Flower before the Norsemen came.
Brave is backdropped in the English occupation of Scotland and its rebellion, with its plot otherwise being the same. It also removes the references to other Pixar films, which means that it won't be part of the Pixar Universe theory. The rest of the Pixar films, however, still uphold the theory even more than OTL.
Moana remains the same as OTL.

A snapshot from The Sleeping Beauty (1958). This is from the scene where Aurora Chardin ponders about that secret room in her castle...
France, 14th century. For the longest time, there was a prophecy floating around... one about a beautiful princess, who would fall ill on her 16th birthday after pricking her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel.
Meet Aurora, a noble princess from a rich family. She comes from a lineage that loves to sew, and her family has amassed lots of sewing machines over the years. Aurora is also destined to be the future queen... and she accordingly prepares for it.
She has befriended the locals of her land, but one in particular, the evil witch Maleficent, hates her (like in OTL, she wasn't invited to the christening ceremony).
On her 5th birthday, Maleficent began to warm up towards the young Aurora, to the point of gifting her a spinning wheel. Her suspicious family placed it in the darkest recesses of her castle, in a room which they begged her not to enter.
Come her 16th birthday, and she has been wondering why. She's also been falling in love with another man, Prince Phillip, who also happens to be a doctor.
Then her family leaves for a diplomatic expedition to England. Aurora, of course, takes this time to explore the castle, and combined with some persuasion from the spinning wheel's dark magic, she utilizes it to spin some yarn... and pricks her finger on it. Maleficent takes the time to establish control over the duchy Aurora's family rules.
Luckily, she is discovered in time by the castle's servants, but Aurora has fallen into a coma... one which Phillip knows how to cure. Despite Maleficent's best efforts (including sending numerous beasts after Phillip), he successfully slays her with the help of a trusty sword from 3 blacksmiths.
Happily ever after.
Here's Elle Fanning as Aurora Chardenne in Sleeping Beauty (2014), a revised version with more fantastical elements, including the addition of a final battle where Maleficent (portrayed by Angelina Jolie) becomes a dragon.
This looks like something from Adult Swim and I love it:
And while all the voices were done by the same person I do love the fact that Wolf O'Donnell sounds like Clancy Brown.
A hint as to what is Alternate History about this would help. I was an adult at the time but not a Jackson fan, and only the cover in the lower right corner is vaguely familiar. What is changed?
Built in the 1920s by architect Mario Palanti on behalf of the Fascist regime, the Eternale is still, at 330 meters, the highest building in Italy. Today, due to its massive size, it hosts both chambers of the Italian government, as well as the entirety of the country's various ministries.
Because Apple Records distribution contract with EMI extended till 2030?
Been getting bored with studying flags and coats of arms/seals lately, so have been getting into looking at the intricacies of street and road signs. Here's some MUTCD-spec road signs from a 21st century U.S. Philippines. I based it off Hawaii's system [since like it, the Philippines are an island(s)]; Interstates are numbered with a letter "P" (like Hawaii does with "H"), and the State Route shield is the sun off the Philippine state flag. I was actually struck at how similar Philippine road signs IOTL are to U.S. MUTCD signage (white Highway Gothic text on green background).

Lookin' forward to it. Here's the current revision of the MUTCD for reference.

More on the Disney Princesses un-fantasized series.
Split on whether to use the Mirror Mirror iteration of Snow White (Lily Collins) or the Huntsman iteration (Kristen Stewart) for live-action Snow White.
Emma Watson is Belle, as with OTL.
Naomi Scott is Jasmine (or a more Arabic name?), as with OTL.
Looking for castings for the other films, which would have been released in the same era as the OTL Disney live-action remake era (early 2010s to 2020s).
