OK, so forget Ceylon. How would this affect the rest of the 19th century? How might Africa be divided in this TL? How would the Dutch East Indies develop?

The POD would be somewhere in the congress of Vienna, with three possible scenarios: The British simply relinquish control of the occupied Dutch colonies, with no negotiation, the Netherlands are supported by the other powers and are given back their colonies by an angry GB, or the King, seeing...

Lost inspiration. Nevermind. Would a mod please delete this.

I assume that this means the French back off for some reason, but what next? Historically, the Netherlands were a footnote after the Belgian revolution, but if they had suppressed them, how would history have turned out? Will they have African colonies? What role would they play in European...

Thanks for the answers guys. Emperor Constantine, if I remember correctly, the stadtholder was less powerful than the king of England at the time, perhaps having more similarities to the later British monarchs, mostly just being very wealthy people whose opinion was very respected. I might be...

Interesting, interesting. Thank you for the in-depth discussion. For whatever reason, whenever I thought of this scenario, I imagined the two splitting apart again within the next few centuries, similar to Britain and Hanover, even though the laws that prevented female monarchs from coming to...

I also find this interesting, and although I don't have an answer to your question, I'd like to add one of my own: what if the Norwegians had won? I have heard interesting discussions saying that the results of that war determined England's "sphere". They say that the norman victory placed...

How long, at maximum, do you think the two would stay united? I'm interested more in how this would affect European politics over the next two centuries. Even if the two separated fairly soon, if the Dutch and English were more closely associated, what effects would this have on the way other...

Is there any way the Netherlands and England could stay united after the Glorious Revolution? Preferably administrated separately, à la Portugal and Spain from 1580 to 1640. What would the effects be over the next 200 years or so? I'm thinking of making a mod for Victoria 2, the grand strategy...

Just thought I'd post one more time, we are still accepting new players in our EU3 match! the time is 7pm Tuesdays and Sundays, the only rule is to pick a non-major power. ie, no bohemia, austria, england, france, etc. you need hamachi and ventrilo, and direct any more questions to...

I don't understand why people are saying North and South America are the same. If anything the five rings in the Olympics should be NA, SA, Eurasia, Australia, and Africa, because there isn't a good reason to divide Europe from Asia.

Now, I'm not an expert, but I often hear that the victory of Washington over the Hessian army at Trenton on Christmas night, 1776, was absolutely crucial, not so much in defeating the enemy, but that it drew new recruits and allies to the cause. What if Johann Ross had posted more guards to...

Just wanted to make another post, we are still looking for new players over at reddit.com/r/reu3. We played our first game and got a lot figured out. You will need the latest version of EU3 DW (5.1). the rules are pretty loose, but you are discouraged from picking a superpower (England...

Hey Guys, I just started playing Europa Universalis, and loved it. However, I really wanted to try multiplayer. Over on reddit.com/r/reu3, they are starting a game on Sunday, but are currently looking for more players. Anybody want to join? Edit: oh! Almost forgot. We are playing vanilla divine...
