Its that time of the year again! Having just finished reading innumerable essays about the 30 Years War last week, I came to the realization that many students were writing (unintentional?) alternate history. Because of this, I continue my annual tradition of giving YOU, the readers at home, an AHC based on some of the common errors I found.

So, your challenge, should you wish to accept it:

Create a timeline where Holy Roman Emperor Matthias is a die-hard Catholic who wishes to abolish religious freedom in Bohemia and destroy Calvinism. He is aided in his struggle by his fellow Catholic ... Gustuvus Adolphus (who wishes to root Protestantism out of Brandenburg and all of northern Germany) and is opposed by Cardinal Richelieu who only wanted to protect the Huguenots from Austria and Spain.

Extra Points: At some point, have Emperor Mathias declare his intention to abolish all religion and proclaim "Bohemia doesn't need a GOD! It needs a strong King!"
