Catalan is considered by most linguists to be closer to French than Spanish. In addition Catalan is incredibly close to Occitan, which was the dominant language of Southern France before the 20th century. So here's the question:
How plausible would it be for France to annex Catalonia from Spain in the late 18th / early 19th century? How would the people who live in Catalonia react?
I do have a feeling this would cause a revanchist Spain...
