This is version 2( minor spelling corrections)

So got a map of the Frankish empire. Based on the POD, I thought, necessary to produce such a mess in Iberia as to have so many states it wasn't even worth outlining them, I had to assume that this Frankish empire had a decent chance of being the a territorial evolution of the original. with such a POD I also thought that given the early pod, the chances of Turks in Bosnia in 1880 was too similar to OTL. That was until I realized that the Byzantines often refereed to the Magyars at Turks, which must have been what Bennett's map was referencing. I set out with these three basic premises as to the situation in 1880, I planned the world and the map. The main points being; England being TTL's equivalent of Spain & Portugal albeit 100+ years later, Catholicisation of Greece and Anatolia, Islamic/Moroccan colonization of Brazil, various Asian states having autonomous cities on the north west coast of NA and north east coast of Australia, China centralised around Buddhism and a sort of general conception of shared Islamo-Christian values in Europe and Africa, basically opposed to alien Sino-Buddhist values.
