The Twists of Fate: A TL

Early Franco Prussian War. I can actually see the British telling the French to fuckoff because the balance of power in Europe is pretty good right now, especially with both Germany and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth to stave off Russia. Germany is not trying to challenge Britain at sea, and the Italian peninsula is unified as the New Roman Empire. From their political perception, its France that is being the balance upsetter, acting like a convulsing tantrum prone child because Germany has finally grown up, and chucked them out for the first time in a long time.
 
Nice and very interesting TL. I love the twist and turn of OTL French Revolution into TTL Austrian/German revolution.

My only nitpick would be the name of the maincharacter, seriously Adlerssohn is not a proper german name. It would be at least Adlersohn (as the double s like in Adlerssohn would be a Bindungs-S (connecting two words) is not used in surnames). Furthermore Eagle is more likely translated into Aar (old german, poetic word for Adler), and -sohn is a virtually unknown suffix for german surnames.
The name Adlerssohn has (with all respect, and no offense intended) a jewish sound, and I don't see how a Jew could become general or military officer at all in OTL in 18th century Austria. Maybe ITTL it's possible.

My guess for Chapter XX is Alejandro, so it probably will be about the Spain. (or about the Roman King Alessandro).
