Moreover, the Peace Treaty between Spain and USA, where the first anexed Florida....
P.D: I will make that event when I have Victoria. It will go in the game If Spain win the american troopers in Cuba, and invade the south of USA.

I'm interested to see if the Panama canal can be voluntarily built.
I'm interested to see how game mechanics handle USA expansion, can Fantasy states be admitted? can cuba be admitted?
But I'm honestly most interested in the German Unification events.

In semi-chrnological order:
Texas War for Independence(I figure I'll give Texas a try at some point)
1848 revolts
Sepoy Rebellions
US Civil War
Unification of Germany
WW1

I'd really like to see how the south american wars would be handled. If the Gods of Paradox want some help with the events, well, I'm here!
Anyway... I'd like to see if it's possible to "clean" the population of provinces. Talking about south american wars, for example, at the end of Paraguay's war (against Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay), far more than 75% of the paraguayans died, and less than 2% of the adult males survived. I'd like to see if (and how) it would be handled by the game.

Not so much as one single event, but I'm most interested in how they model the withering of the Ottoman Empire. Obviously some of it began before the time period of the game, but playing as possession after possession breaks away will be interesting for sure.
Some Russian events prior to the Revolution to attempt reforms before it's too late. General strike of 1905 and forming of the duma come in mind first.
If it doesn't work, then independence of Finland
Meiji Restoration of Japan might have very interesting options also.

partitioning of the African colonies,
colonial war against old South American colonies, is this realistic,

I wonder if there will be an event for a Russian conquest of Constantinople. That would be a cool thing.
Probably the Meiji Restoration. I hope that it will be possible to choose whether or not to have it. It would be fun to have Meiji Restoration, but also it would be fun to not have it, and defend the Bakufu. However, if you oppose the opening of Japan to foreign trade, you should need to fight revolts for a while, to crush the revolutionaries, just as there was the Satsuma Rebellion of samurai who opposed the Meiji Restoration.
Also, the Russo-Japanese War will be fun..

Random events. I don't like the idea of 'waiting' for the Archduke to get assassinated, make the game unhistorical in my opinion.
The 1866 Austro-Prussian war. As Austria-Hungary I will humiliate Prussia and reestablish Habsburg hegemony in Germany.
A while ago on another board I read that there's an alternate-history book - in German - called "An den Feuern der Leyermark", written by Carl Amery, where something like that happens. Austria and bavaria beat the Prussians at Königgrätz, and the world is a better place with more beer and less warOriginally posted by Habsburg

Haven't been able to find it anywhere, though.- edit: corrected the title of the book

For me the Opium Wars. Im curious whats going to stop the British instead of just getting trading posts like Hong Kong etc, from carving up mainland China during the war.
1848 movements and famin are huge
I agree the '48 assembly is a huge event impacting immigration or dangerous state forming in germany. Wisconsin, Texas, and Californina wouldn't be the same without 1848 immigration though.
My history on the subject is a little rusty but, ideally things could go a couple of different ways such as Prussia accepting the crown from that assembly.

Re: 1848 movements and famin are huge
Accepting the crown would definitely be something, especially for players bent on changing history. However it should come at a high price in stability and it should greatly diminish your prestige abroad and at home among the conservative factions. Back then you couldn't just accept any crown that the commoners offered to you, at least not if you were a King of Prussia, ruling over an army with a state attached to it. You were the sovereign by the grace of god, not by the grace of the mob. Accepting the crown from the hands of liberal professors should totally blast you towards liberalism, vastly reduce your power, weaken your Prussian military spirit, set you at odds with the French, Austrians and Russians (with the French because you unite Germany and with the others because you offer encouragement to the insolent liberals)... essentially, put you in all the perils that the unification under Bismarck did, but offer you none of the short term benefits.
It took Bismarck quite a bit of persuading to get Wilhelm I to accept the Imperial crown in 1871, and that was after winning a war and being offered the crown from the hand of the German princes, not the rabble. They were so medieval in their mindsets...
The long term benefits, however, should be nice. Progressive social policies, economic unification and prosperity, a surge in national pride... after you overcome the initial troubles and the attempts from the Prussian aristocracy to sabotage your enlightened reform proposals. And just maybe Austria will fly apart sixty years early... after all, you uniting the German nation under the liberal banner might give the Serbs, Croats, Hungarians, Poles and various others ideas right when the Habsburg Empire is in a period of instability.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how Paradox modelled that event.
