Gonzaga and Janprimus, I thank you both for welcoming me to the board. The Hapsburgs promised Victor Amadeus II of Savoy, the duchy of Montferrat, and territory in Lombardy in order to convince him to abandon his alliance with France. In OTL, Victor Amadeus was given Sicily as a kingdom as part of the treaty of Utrecht. In a scenario where Leopold Joseph becomes emperor, Marlborough will still most likely lose his command. In OTL, Great Britain was negotiating a separate peace with France even before the death of Emperor Joseph, so they will probably press for similar terms OTL’s treaty of Utrecht.
In this scenario, OTL Charles VI would rule the Spanish Netherlands, Milan, and Naples. As heir to Leopold Joseph, he would probably have the right to be regent of the hereditary Hapsburg possessions, but would most likely allow his mother Eleonor Magdalene to remain interim regent. If the Ottomans still attack Venice in 1714 (as they did in OTL), it would interesting to see how the regency would respond. It would also be interesting to see if Charles VI would reconcile with the Maritime Powers in order to protect his territories from Philip V.
