The complicated royals of Britain and Germany
During the Holy Roman War, George III successfully places his third son, William on the throne of a united Germany under Hanover. However, when George IV dies childless, Frederick becomes both King of Great Britain and Kaiser of Germany. It is decided that the thrones shall be split after his death. He dies soon after this arrangement is made, and his brother Edward will inherit Britain, while his other brother Ernest shall inherit Germany. Ernest's line continues only as far as his son, George, who dies in 1878 childless. After a referendum, it is decided that the throne shall go to Frederick III of Prussia, who is married to George's first cousin once removed, Victoria, the daughter of Queen Victoria of Britain. The throne remained in the hands of the Hohenzollerns to the present, currently under Georg Friedrich, ruling as George II.

France
Besides the POD, which has something to do with the Hundred Years' War, this is French history starting in the 1700s.

France has a bunch of problems after devastatingly losing the War of the Austrian Succession (Britain, Prussia, and co vs France, Austria, and co). Due to this, the Holy Roman Empire gains lands in eastern France. In the later Seven Years' War, France and Austria (allied with Sweden, Saxony, Bavaria, Hesse, Portugal, and the Mughals) are defeated by Britain and Prussia (allied with Hanover, Spain, Brunswick, the Iroquois, the Rhine, and Nassau). France loses all of New France to Britain, and Louisiana to Spain. Portugal loses some of its African colonies to Britain, and France also loses India to Britain.

After this the British continue to make the same mistakes they made in the Thirteen Colonies in OTL, although in ATL there are Eight Colonies: New Hampshire (NH, Maine, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Islands), Massachusetts (Masss, Rhode Island, Connecticut), New York (NY, NJ, Vermont), Pennsylvania (PA), Maryland (Delmarva area), Virginia (Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky), Carolina (North and South Carolina, Tennessee), and Georgia (Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi, excluding West Florida). The American Revolution breaks out in 1774. (America celebrates centennials in -75 ATL). Long story short, the French help the Americans to get back at them, and although America wins, France is now dirt poor.

The French Revolution hits the streets in 1785. The monarchy is ousted by 1789, and the Royal Family flees to Austria. The Reign of Terror starts early on in 1792 and continues until the War of French Restoration is fought by Austria, Prussia, Spain, and Napoleon's Italy in 1804. Britain has a falling out with Prussia due to not getting involved in the war. The French monarchy is restored in a limited sort of monarchy, between Britain's constitutional monarchy and the Prussian and Austrian absolute monarchies. Spain has also take the Basque lands from France, stemming from poor Franco-Spanish relations that have roots in the Hundred Years' War.

In 1830, the Second French Revolution starts. People call for more rights and a less powerful monarchy, and without foreign support, the Bourbons concede to the revolutionary demands. This incites revolutions in Spain, Portugal, Germany, and slightly by extension, the Ottoman Empire and Russia.

The French eventually become allies with Spain (a republic after 1830) and Britain (connected with Hanoverian Germany). After the Prussian royals take over Germany, France becomes allies with the Germans as well. The French remained bitter enemies with the Italians and the Bonapartes. The Italians, Russians, Ottomans, and Portugal created the Quadruple Intesa to counter the Quadruple Alliance (Britain, France, Spain, and Germany). France supported Savoyan rebels in the early 1900s, and was supportive of the Blue Dagger, an organization that Cosimo Toselli was a part of. Toselli assassinated the Italian Crown Prince Victor. This led to the Italian and Croatian declarations of war on France, and dragged all members of both alliances into the war, lasting from 1913 to 1917.

France ultimately lost the war, and was blamed for starting the war by extension by the victorious Intesa. The monarchy was deposed in the 1918 Third Revolution, led by Republicans. However, the Republican government was weak and inefficient, and in 1932, Phillip Petain and Charles de Gaulle led the Fourth Revolution under the banner of the PSTPNF or simply the Socialist Party. This inspired the rise of Leopold Hitler and his NSDAP to the Reichstag. Hitler became Chancellor of Germany under the reign of Wilhelm III and reaffirmed Franco-German relations by creating the Paris-Berlin Axis, which expanded to include Britain by 1935, creating the London-Paris-Berlin Axis. All three nations separately allied with China due to owning territories in close proximity to the rapidly expanding Asian empire, and Britain and France were allied once more with Spain.

France started the Second World War in 1940 by attacking Switzerland, a seemingly impossible task as shown by history. However, the French managed to cross the Alps, and heavily utilized the air force it had built up in previous years. Germany also invades from the other sides of Switzerland. Italy declared support for Switzerland, followed by the United Arab Republic, Russia, Greece, and Portugal. Denmark later declared war on Russia with the intent of regaining Finland and the Baltic areas. The Axis makes sizeable advances, with France seizing Italian holdings in Africa and parts of Northern Italy. However, the tide begins to turn in 1943 when Japan declares war on China, easing up Russian defenses in the north, allowing Russia to focus on Europe. Russia invades Denmark, capturing Copenhagen, and later Germany, with Arab help. In the same year, the United States declares war on the United Kingdom after the Acadia attacks, where the British attempted to destroy the American Atlantic fleet. The Axis continue to lose battle after battle until France and Britain are the last Axis left in Europe. Russia, through Denmark, invades Britain with America, while France falls to Italy, Portugal, and occupied Spanish and German forces. The Bourbons were restored in Russian occupied Northern France, while Southern France became a republic under Russian occupation.

The occupation continued until 1951, when the aforementioned nations were created. Paris was divided East and West, with a wall separating both halves. The nations retained good relations and participated in international events under a united France. Due to these positive relations, the two nations agreed to merge in 1977 with support of Russia, Italy, and the United States under the monarchy.

France is now a neutral country, although supportive of the Russian bloc in the ongoing Cold War. Relations with Italy and Switzerland are now positive.

Spain
Spain something something something Charles III has poor relations with Mr. Louis XV of France. Instead, he allies with France's historical enemy Britain, breaking the Bourbon ties. He leads Spain successfully in the Seven Years' War and Spain gains Louisiana from the war, expanding Spanish power in North America and connecting Florida to the rest of New Spain.

However, his successor Charles IV nearly bankrupts Spain and is forced to sell Louisiana to the United States in a desparate bid for money. His successor, Ferdinand VII, is also a bad leader and inefficient with regards to colonial rule. The United States, under John C. Calhoun, declares war on Spain, invading New Spain in 1827. The Spanish Americans, already considering rebellion, put up a weak fight and the Americans take Alta California, Texas, Sonora, Chihuahua, Baja California, Cuba, Hispaniola, some Antillian islands, and the area around the Rio Grande. This war, combined with the Second French Revolution occurring in France, leads to the Great Spanish Revolutions. In the Americas, all the colonies rebel, while at home, people are rebelling against the monarchy. Ferdinand VII is exiled to post-revolution France.

In the aftermath of the revolution, the Hispanic Union is formed, consisting of Spain, Spanish Morocco, the Spanish East Indies, and the Spanish Phillppines. The remainder of the colonies (in the Americas) have already revolted away, also sparking a revolution in Brazil. The Union later loses the Phillippines to the rapidly modernizing and expanding Japanese Empire.

The Unions finds itself allying with France due to both nations in their present form having roots in the Revolutions of 1830 as well as Britain, an important trade partner in the Far East. This Triple Alliance laters expands to include Germany in the Quadruple Alliance. However, Spain is on the losing side of World War I, and later World War II, where it loses the East Indies to Japan and its Greater Asian Prosperity Sphere. Spain today is part of the American bloc in the Cold War.

Possible PODs
All of these are supposed to lead to England owning Brittany and Normandy by the 1400s.
 * The Hundred Years' War ends with the English monarchs not becoming the French monarchs and the Bourbons keeping the French monarchy in their family (in the same fashion as OTL). However, Joan of Arc is not given to the English and is instead killed on the battlefield. France and Britain eventually reach the peace that involves the aforementioned monarchical structure, but England retains Brittany and Normandy without paying tribute to the French kings.
 * France loses the Nine Years' War a different way. It keeps Belgium and Holland, but loses Luxembourg and Alsace-Lorraine to the HRE and Brittany and Normandy to England.
