  1. James II was an Anglican and retained the throne. Does England maintain external neutrality?

    I think James might have a slight French-bias, but if he's a zealous Anglican and thinks that France is threatening Protestantism he'd likely ally with the Protestant states against France. Internally, the Anglican majority will likely be behind him on such a policy. All else depends on other...

  3. WI: Egypt's Independence is Achieved Under Ali Bey the Great?

    I've always wondered about the Mamluk Dynasties in Iraq making a go of it circa the same time, but I don't know enough/can't find enough about the region at the time to know if this is possible. But while I suspect that Ekaterina or Joseph II's support will be moral than military (OTL, the...

    none ATM, just thought this was a cool historical rabbit hole to fall down

  5. WI: Egypt's Independence is Achieved Under Ali Bey the Great?

    would that apply to his son-in-law and brother-in-law who married into the family as well? Or would they be seen as "outsiders"?

    The Importance of Qusayr in the 18th Century A Late Eighteenth-Century Austrian Attempt to Develop the Red Sea Trade Route 2 articles about the situation/politicking going on at the times. Seems I misremembered and it wasn't Baldwin encouraging the situation because Istanbul and Cairo were at...

  7. WI: Egypt's Independence is Achieved Under Ali Bey the Great?

    When most of us think of Egyptian independence from the Ottoman Empire, we think of Muhammed Ali and the 19th century. However, Egypt revolted against Ottoman rule several times in the 18th century, before the French or even the American Revolutions were thought of. The British Levant Company...

  8. Frankie Goes to the Hofburg, or Napoléon II, Regent of Austria?

    Definitely feel like Frankie's "attachment" to Venice is doing/has done a lot to rehabilitate the city image as "tyrannical, corrupt and decadent" . Napoléon, the Habsburgd and the Savoies all profitted from this imagery OTL since it was a species of justification for their own behaviours. By...

  9. AHC: Make Bridgerton realistic. Africans intermix with European nobility.

    I list: George Bridgetower, the violinist- who was esteemed enough by both the average man (Ludwig von Beethoven originally wrote the famed Kreutzer Sonata for him to perform) and princes (both George IV, the King of Saxony and Prince Radziwill offered him pensions). Joseph de Bologne, Chevalier...

  10. Frankie Goes to the Hofburg, or Napoléon II, Regent of Austria?

    He is. George- for all his stupidity OTL (so I suspect someone else- Albert, maybe?- suggested it)- also timed his request well. Victoria's pissed at her uncle for the "mess" he left with Fraulein Bauer, so it's actually the best time for him to announce "well, I'm done with that actress [Mrs...

  11. Frankie Goes to the Hofburg, or Napoléon II, Regent of Austria?

    He'd certainly have the international connections/reputation (Brasil, Mexico, the United States, the Cape, Natalia, Brussels, Paris, Stockholm, London, Munich, Baden and Vienna) both from his family and his travels that he hopefully will. He's also "important enough" that he doesn't need to be a...

  14. Frankie Goes to the Hofburg, or Napoléon II, Regent of Austria?

    Given that the boys have barely hit double digits, it might be too early to say. They could easily take after other members of the family (history nerd Louis, writer Lucien, penny-wise Madame Mère) as well. And let's not forget the girls mother is Fanny Essler, who herself was a competent...
