Thanks!
Since the Kingdom of Spain is now a constitutional Monarchy under British influence, I don't think the Carlist Wars will break out. The French threat is still there and no one would want to provocke a civil War in this case.
Following the Portuguese line of succession laws, Miguel would surely become King if he doesn't make something stupid, however his personality might well cause problems since a liberal constitution has been adopted in Portugal.
Aight. The hope Ferdinand has a son still.
Hope Miguel still has Power but still plays nicr
Thank you!
The Kingdom of Mexico is now independent in all but name. Its only obligation is too respect Spain's Foreign policy, and even the whole thing about keeping strong economic ties with the homeland are mostly empty words (the British merchants will surely soon take over and crush the Spanish competition). But to colonize California and the West Coast, Mexico will have to attract many emigrants, and knowing how much Argentina attracted Europeans, I think Mexico only lacked stability and prosperity. The internal situation will surely be more stable ITTL, but the Foreign relations with the USA have not yet been explored. To sum this up, I would Say that California here has greater chance of becoming more "Spanish" ITTL, but it is not certain.
Mmh, I'm not sure it would be fair on my part to change the gender of Ferdinand's daughters. Maybe I could make him have another child, but he would need a good reason in this case. I'll see what I Can do.
Something that makes this even more interesting is it will radically change the approach of America to western expansion. Now there’s no guarantee that Steven Austin can make a deal for American settlers, and could even set the stage for an earlier and larger scale war between the Spanish and Americans. Or things could remain peaceful, it remains to be seen.
Edit: hadn’t seen the earlier comment concerning this, sorry.

The numbers shrunk partially due to the growing number of the soldiers leaving their units and forming the marauding bands. On the way back the process became endemic.
There are numerous fantasy/whatever modern Russian books with the various folklore personages in them.
Ah, this one. Your initial mentioning of Volga was confusing. There is even an opera on this subject.
Maupassant was quite popular in the SU.
No problem. Your POV is really interesting. We should also remember that ITTL the USA have been defeated by the UK (I mean even more than in reality), so going to war with the whole Spanish Empire, which is supported by London, might be risky, to Say the least. But a question remains unanswered for now: which path the US will take?
Exactly.
It seems logical Indeed.
The thing is that the Volga river is quite close to the Lake Svetloyar when you look at a Big Map of Russia.
It seems normal considering what his favorite subjects were.
Of course, as every good French!!😆
In terms of deriding Prussians, Zola was quite a specialist too, as in virtually every Book he wrote he does that.
First, I'll have to publish a Map of the Confederation of Hispanidad, and then I'll make an update on the situation in the USA. After that, we'll talk about France, so yes, we will "soon" see the Eaglet.
Great, can't wait to see the map! And Hopefully the Eaglet will use his familial ties with the Habsburgs to improve france's situation and improve relations.

Unironically, I have Great plans for them, so you might at least be partially pleased by the future of this TL.
He's already done a few, like opposing the Cortes on the question of the American colonies, but his biggest mistake was prevented ITTL, that is to say his rejection of the Constitution of 1812. Here, he kept his popularity and some, mainly symbolical, influence over the former American colonies. However, he's still a "nuanced" leader and is far from being a good one IMO, but the context of this TL greatly helped him.
