Scenarios about 'succession crisis'
A political emergency occurring when the established order of inheritance to a throne becomes unclear or disputed, often due to a ruler dying without heirs, multiple claimants to the throne, or contested legitimacy. Succession crises have frequently led to civil wars, foreign interventions, and dynastic changes throughout history, as seen in events like the War of the Spanish Succession or the Glorious Revolution. In alternate history scenarios, succession crises provide critical divergence points where different claimants' victories could dramatically reshape national boundaries and power structures.
