Forum:Age of Glory

These are my thoughts and ideas concerning a possible TL, Age of Grandeur.

In the TL, some of the most powerful empires the world has ever known continue into the Modern Era.

This timeline will be similar to Superpowers, however, I feel that it is somewhat ASB because only four nations are represented, hence this timeline.

Anywho, the PODs can be at any given point in time (reasonable), and will be a collaborative project.

The starting time will be 1700.

Empires I'm thinking of including are:

Romania:

-Reformed after the pious Justinian II of Byzantium had a religious experience aboard a boat, which forced him to be mercifull during his second reign. Focusing on his Empire instead of purging enemies in vengeance, he and his general Heraclius returned control across the Balkans and into Italy, restoring the Emperor of the Romans. He divided the empire back into two, forming a Dual Monarchy similar to Austria-Hungary.

France:

-A nation first formed by Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire, had survived as a fragmented nation until the 1400s, when it succesfully pushed the English off the Mainland and took valuable Roman French territory. However, the French have recently begun colonizing the New World, and under Louis XIV, fought anothermajor war against Romania, taking back over half of the remaining Roman France, and severed land connections between Romania and her Spanish provinces.

Britain:

-Currently divided under England, Scotalnd, and Ireland, each nations possess colonies in the New World, though England has the largest chunk of the pie. With tensions rising with Sweden, there have been talks of uniting the Isles underneath one kingdom...
