This is perhaps even more surprising as Renan was also a reader of German theorists on the nation, such as Fitch and Herder. The existence of an independent Brittany may have also changed the views of Ernst Renan (French historian and political theorist), who suddenly threw out his anti-semitism, racism and devout religion (his earlier works were related to the language of Christian texts) and wrote about French Unity, fired up by French nationalism following French defeat in 1871.

I hypothesise that a successful Quiberon and a Kingdom of Brittany opposed to the French on their eastern border, and Prussia/Germany on the western border, may have changed the result of the Franco-Prussian war, in favour of Prussian militarists leading to much harsher territorial concessions instead of Bismarck's more constrained demands. the British landing in Quiberon (compared to say, the fall of Constantinople, discovery of the new world, reformation, enlightenment, Waterloo, etc) could have drastic differences on Europe as we know it today. The other reason is that the central focus of the story (perhaps I should have left in the 200 word summary) was how a seemingly insignificant event that occurs during the EU4 timeframe, i.e. That is part of the reason I avoided another major battle at Rennes. I'm glad you enjoyed the 'action sequences', I was worried that I may have trivialised warfare a little too much. It's also quite ironic that the person giving out grammar advice misses quite a big grammar fail in his first paragraph, but such is life.
