Talk:The Mirror That Never Broke

Hello. I am looking forward to see how this history evolve. However I will give you a recomendation:

The first POD and it's immediate concecuences has a lot of butterflies, which might actually make completely irrelevant the second POD. A different outcome of the Seven Years War (French and Indian War in North America) as you propose it will have impacts on France proper. (v.g. France keeps interests in India)

That, together with an earlier American revolution will have impact in how the French Revolution will evolve, if it even happens. So, now, a different French Revolution might mean a different path for Napoleon to get to power if at all meaning a different Napoleonic invassion of Spain.

Now, you have a different French invasion of Spain round 1808, and a different American Revolution... any of these two events will surely affect how Mexico becomes independent from Spain. You might not even have to get rid of Antonio López de Santa Ana to preserve an Iturbide empire... actually it might not even be an Iturbide empire to begin with.

Mi advise... work a little harder on how the earlier American Revolution evolves. Then focus on a possible French Revolution, and the ascent of Napoleon or a similar figure. Finish the 18th century at least in the scenarios needed for your althistory: North America (USA and Mexico) and Europe (Britain, France and Spain).

I guess you need a Mexican Empire that would inspire the formation of an Anglo North-American Empire. Think if there is a different way to get that result without having to mimic the whole Mexican independence as OTL; or, on the other hand, try to get a good explanation on why Iturbide will become the Emperor of Mexico.

Regards.
