Just wondering in my head when and where would a meritocratic statal evolution (not revolution as the needed changes are too great) resulting in a militant great/superpower be possible. I may or may not want to start an ASB free timeline with it :p

By which I mean a new power in which:

1. Women, minorities (religious, ethnic, sexual...) and commoners are to be allowed in politics, the professions and the army/navy
2. The role of religion is downplayed (if it contravenes with the above as most religions do esp. pre-1900, if not it can even be strengthened) and
3. The resulting state will have a large, powerful land army with at least a bit of an expansionistic/warmongering streak.
