No, "stadt" is ''definitely the German word for city. Land is the same in both languages.

As we've been over before, the French are not going to do that. The idea of them discovering the new world makes little sense in the first place - them colonizing more than they did otl is not in the least bit possible. The French people are not going to leave Europe.

Actually, Castille is more than capable of doing it by itself. By the time of the marriage, they controlled the vast majority of otl Spain - the only area controlled by the Muslims was Granada. Small, at best, that territory. Most resources, troops, etc. that were Spanish were actually Castillian - as were, technically, all of their colonies.

You do not have Spain here. You have Aragon. And the French trying that in Aragon would not work.

What I'm saying is that they wouldn't flee to Mexico.

Charles never considered that during the Civil Wars.

The Act of Settlement is in most ways irrelevant. Parliament had, in fact, the right to have whomever it wished to be made monarch, theoretically. The Act was that being written on paper.

The Hanoverians would still have the throne, even without it.

...Fredrick was not incompetent. Hell, he'd have done better than his son did - namely, that he didn't have Porphyria. Britain would likely fare better under him than George III. Who, provided his father lives long enough, will have had his illnesses start, and the throne will pass over him.
