The Anti-French War took place during 1682-94. Spain, England, Sicily, Netherlands, the Baltic League (Sweden, several German states) united against France and its allies Hungary, Poland, Württemberg-Austria, Nassau, Savoy, Venice, Denmark-Braunschweig, Scotland and Portugal.
1680: Heinrich IV of Brandenburg dies. His son is unable to govern, which he is aware of. So he decides that Brandenburg-Silesia shall be governed by a collegium of the other members of the Baltic League (Kristina I of Sweden, Johann IX of Hohenzollern and Balthasar II of Prussia) until there is a capable heir to take over.
1681: Johann IX of Hohenzollern (of Franconia-Pomerania) dies without heirs too. New French king François V declares the illegality of the collegial government over Brandenburg-Silesia and Franconia-Pomerania.
1682: The (several times postponed) election for Holy Roman Emperor. (Several candidates, like crown prince Humphrey of England and king Humphrey I himself, died at an inconvenient time, and the anti-French groups had to look for new candidates, since queen Kristina of Sweden isn't electable.) Finally, after a turbulent election, king Francisco of Sicily is elected emperor Franz IV by Brandenburg, Prussia, Saxony, Jülich-Berg, the Netherlands, Palatinate (until then controlled by France), while François V ("the other Franz", as the Germans call him) is elected by Poland, Württemberg-Austria, Nassau, Braunschweig and Luxemburg. François V doesn't want to accept the result of the election, which was admittedly quite unclear (are the votes of French-occupied Luxemburg and collegially governed Brandenburg valid?).

1685: Elector Magnus of Saxony-Wittenberg-Lauenburg dies. Theoretically, his lands would go to his Ascanian relatives in Brandenburg, but as was said, the status of Brandenburg is difficult - besides, the Ascanians would get two electoral votes with that. This causes some clashes between the anti-French German states.

In Atlantis, Virginia (OTL Georgia) and eastern Nouvelle France (OTL Hispaniola) become Spanish, Quebec (OTL Ontario) English, Louisiane north of the Arkansas is divided between Italy (the South) and Denmark-Braunschweig (the North). Prince-Haralds-Land (OTL Newfoundland) is ceded by the latter to England. The Pyrenees become the new French-Spanish border. Luxemburg-Lorraine is given back to Karl XI of Brabant-Limburg. Baden is restored. Switzerland receives the lands lost too, but has to promise neutrality. Milan, Ravenna and Genoa become Italian, to drive a wedge between Savoy and Venice. Flanders, Hennegau / Hainaut become Dutch again.

The Alliance des Alpes is dissolved. The Mexican Empire becomes a Spanish colony; the last Tenochca ruler Acamapichtli II has to go to exile in France.
