What if there was a strong Protestant Union at the outbreak of the 30 years war under the leadership of the Elector Palatine as Frederick I, King of Bohemia?
( My TL has him defeat Ferdinand II and rising to the throne instead of being chased off to the Netherlands. )
Would this convince more german princes to join? Would this political strength lead to more conversions? With which European nations would they find support or maybe even form alliances? Would such a protestant union be able to survive? If so, for how long? How would this possibly affect the possibility of a german unifaction in the future?
Since I only have a PoD for my ATL and not really decided on where I want to go with it I'd love to make it evolve with the help of all you AH enthousiasts. So, there are enough questions above, take your pick and let me know your thoughts. Thanks.
