occitania

Hi so first thing if i’m saying anything here that is inaccurate or misinformation pls do say! i really want to learn more and be better at research. but yeah so… from what i understand, prior to the albegensian crusade in Languedoc/county of Toulouse there was a thriving Jewish population...

Assume William IX Duke of Aquitaine, Gascogne, Count of Poitou presses his wife Philippa's claim on the County of Toulouse and doesn't mortgage the county afterward to Bertrand to go on a disastrous Crusade. His son only has daughters (Eleanor of Aquitaine) like OTL. Eleanor inherits everything...

As the title says, the challenge (with a POD that must be between 800 and 1500 a.d.) is to have both Spain And France end up with catalan or occitan (or a hybrid/dialect version of the 2) as the official lenguage. Bonus point if you manage to make this lenguage spoken also in Italy and Portugal

What if the Huguenot rebels in Southern France decide to break away from France and declare their own state? What would it be called? And could there be an impetus to declare independence? Who would be the ruler of this new country? And could it maintain its independence? And how will an...

Any chance of the Gothic Language surviving in the Greatest Extent of the Ostrogothic and Visigothic Realms . Edit : Minimum PoD is 418 .

This might require a PoD prior to Jules Ferry's premiership, though an imposition from an outside invader just might be enough. So, basically, assume Germany wins World War I early (prior to 1916), and militarily occupies vast swathes of France at the end of hostilities. Negotiations with...

Your challenge is to have Occitania be an independent country, either by remaining unconquered by France, or by having it break away at some point.

France gradually strengthened its central power during the late middle ages and early modern times. But what if Protestantism/the Hugenotes became a stronger force than in OTL? In OTL there was a civil war in the latter half of the sixteenth century.What if the Hugenots managed to create a...

Assuming no Albigensian Crusade, what potential does an independent Occitan have at its disposal? This is a question mostly regarding the extent to which a fully independent or at least marginally independent Occitan could have on Europe entering the 14th and 15th century and beyond. Further...

After France capitulates Hitler decides to declare France conquered and the free state of occitania liberated under german supervision. The French colonies are more likely to fight on. And this ww2 goes worse for Hitler. Who would be the likely quislings in this scenario? And in the...

In this scenario the Weimar Republic manages to survive and Hitler does not come to power. What if, in the late 1920s and 1930s, the Weimar Republic had held a Conference with the nations of Western Europe which Germany arranges, with the aim of radically changing the borders of Western...
