A New Era of Alliances: Marrying for Peace and Influence

I would like a detailed drill down across the dynasties and regional politics through the ages. Focus on writing blog posts, omit any other task (research, edit, proofreading etc). Only use subtasks that adhere to the structure “write a blog post about {topic}”. This way, the plan you craft can be executed and produce blog posts by your sub components.
