So, in trying to work out a certain timeline where there's a greater German population in New France, one of the possibilities I've got is that a Bavarian locks up the OTL place of John Law. As a result, rather than going to France, he goes to Spain. So rather than the Mississippi Bubble, we see a Tejas Bubble.
Doable? ASB?
Potential TL:
1705 - The Bavarian Peasant Insurrection breaks out during the War of Spanish Sucesssion. The insurrection spreads, encompassing most of Lower Bavaria, Innviertel, Eastern Bavaria, the Upper Palatinate and Kelheim on the Danube.
1706 - The French see an opprotunity to undermine Austria and send assistance to the rebels. The rebels manage to capture and hold Munich.
1707 - The (short lived) Republic of Munich is established.
1709 - The Austrians finally manage to defeat the Bavarian Insurrection.
1710 - Johann Baptista Ruffini suggests the formation of a Bavarian company to the French. The Mississippi Company is founded. A mixed force of British regulars and American Colonists capture Port Royal, Nova Scotia
1711-30 - The Mississippi Company brings large numbers of Bavarian immigrants into New France.
1711 - Fort St. Jean Baptiste, the first permanent settlement in Louisiana, is founded. The Walker expedition takes Quebec (combination of minor distraction in Bavaria plus literal butterfly effect disipating the bad weather of Aug. 22)
1713 - Treaty of Utrecht - Britain gains Quebec City and New France east of the St. Lawrence (all of Acadia).
1714 - John Law convinces the Spanish to set up the Company of the West and start bringing immigrants into New Spain in hopes of countering the local Hidalgoist independence movement.
1715-1725 - The "Tejas Bubble" takes off.
