I suppose you have to look at is WHAT would make it stronger? And how doable is that?
- Does taking Abyssinia have any strategic purpose? Well, yes it joins Eritrea to the Italian Somali holdings. NOW those latter are only colonial rather than protectorates because Mussolini started a war to...
IIRC one of the previous medieval kings used "Emperor of Spain" to indicate that he was sovereign over all of the Christian kingdoms, united under him. As you say, the later Spanish kings were also heirs to both the Aztec and Inca thrones, so in theory these are imperial titles - after all, when...
Unless they won, when they would create it ex post facto like Henry Tudor
I don't see it as a very realistic scenario simply because it's a bunch of exiles trying to take over their host state, but legal niceties would be irrelevant to realities
I'll get issue 10 out but that might be the last thing I do.

Britain and France in a Great Power Contest

Over 700 pages, but costs around 40 quid
As the alternative to Rome or in a situation where two rival Popes reign?
You might develop a situation where major powers choose their own allegiance, and eventually you have a system of Catholic CHURCHES each with a Pope at the head, similar to how in the Orthodox world each of Greece...
The absence of Ford in the market will lead to completely different dynamics among the other companies, so it's impossible to do more than play out some options. Would General Motors have bought up all the marques they did? Would Durant have been shafted,, started Chevrolet, bought out GM, then...
