what if Ottomans conquered Austria and Bohemia. Will France win every balance of power war in the future because Austria was their biggest continental opponent in OTL?
 
We could actually see a Franco-Polish alliance developing centuries earlier in this TL, no? Their main enemies would be both Prussia and the Ottomans, I suppose. And I suppose that Prussia and the Ottomans could form their own alliance, predating the German-Ottoman alliance of World War I by a couple of centuries or so. Britain I would think would side with the Prussians and Ottomans since France would likely still appear stronger back then, though maybe it would side with the Franco-Poles if the Ottomans seem too strong in this TL due to them conquering even more territories than they conquered in real life.

Russia would be the huge wildcard here. I would think that, as the Ottomans' traditional enemy, they would ally with the Franco-Poles. What do you think, Rob?

No,becouse Ottomans would be new dominant force.
France with Poland would ally to oppose that.Good for us - we would never disband our army,like in OTL.

Not going to happen,Moscov hated Poland and was,at least till 16th century,allies of England.And never start fighting Turks till Poland was pacified as weak state ruled by Saxon kings.
They would remain neutral or attack those who fight England.

Whom would England support? The Prusso-Ottomans?
