On that note, the next King of Hungary was often crowned already in the lifetime of his precedessor, so Franzi getting crowned could also solve the issue at hand.
Great chapter!
Was this piece specifically chosen because of the poem its based on?
Kazincy: The Day of Prurification
I don't think such law/custom existed. It would be more than strange if it did, the King having to get approval from one of his own subjects to enter his own domain...
How can you even claim that? The British, French, Russian, etc. empires spanned over continents within the same era. Compared to that, holding onto the Carpathian Basin is nothing. Not to mention, the Hungarian mistreatment of the country's minorities is a bit overblown here. Everyone got the...
If you want to learn more about medieval Hungary in-depth, then I can't recommend enough Schwerpunkt on Youtube! His content is absolutely amazing, it's very thourough!
If the scenario needs to include open confrontation between Hungary and Austria, then the earliest POD we can work with is in 1848's October. If the parliament and the OHB comes to an earlier decision concerning an attack into Austrian territory (and the army accepts it), then the Hungarian main...
Yes, I have the same understanding of the situation, however Tvrtko's claim on those titles were still a slight to the King of Hungary, I believe. Tvrtko continuing to pay lip service was enough to have Louis look the other way IOTL, but I'm not sure it would be enough ITTL. Perhaps Tvrtko would...
What about Bosnia? Louis IOTL tolerated Tvrtko's self-proclamation as King of Bosnia and of Serbia (probably to assure him not getting in the way of Mary's ascension(?)), but what about TTL? The King of Hungary also held the titles of King of Rama(Bosnia) and King of Serbia, so Tvrtko's action...
This might change Louis' Neapolitan policy in the late '70s and early '80s. Instead of assissting Charles of Durazzo to the throne of Naples, he might try to do the same with his son instead.
Also, Louis wouldn't be in need of granting privileges to the Polish nobility ITTL, that's another major...
@Discernible What immediately came to my mind is the case of South Korea. The area was rather packed with sympathisers of communism prior to the Korean War, AFAIK.

So maybe something along these lines?
I suppose West Yugoslavia then might need to be subjected to prolonged WAllied military presence and/or a "denazification" policy similar to that of Germany.
The restoration of Peter II would be in order, I agree. Without him, the West Yugoslavian government could hardly base its legitimacy on...
@ArtosStark @Giant Man Eating Rabbits Then what about Partisans playing a lesser role and the Allied armies being the primary liberating forces?
As for how the WAllies get to Croatia, what about Churchill getting his way and we get a landing in Dalmatia instead of in Southern France ITTL?
An...
Let's say that during the war, the Western part of Yugoslavia (Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia) was liberated by the Western Allies and non-Communist partisans, while the Eastern part (Serbia, Montenegro, etc.) was liberated by Tito's partisans and the Soviets. Both sides set up their own...
Going by this scenario, when do you think Hungary would become Germany's target? The first possible spark following the fall of France would be probably the establishment of a German garrison in Ploiesti, IMO. Hungary IOTL accepted the German request for troop transit through the country, but...
