Complete 1375 checkpoint: Timur, Ilkhanate strength, Western Europe internals

Timur (~1370-1405):
- Unifies Chagatai, breaks from Great Khanate
- Cannot conquer Ilkhanate (too strong/modernized)
- Sacks India, vassalizes Mongol Khanate, allies with Tibet vs Song
- Supports Egypt semi-independence against Ilkhanate

Ilkhanate revised: strongest period, approaching industrialization
- 100yr Silk Road wealth + Persian bureaucracy + Shia centralization
- Closest to industrialization outside Song

Western Europe:
- No Avignon Captivity → no Great Schism (Papacy stable in Rome)
- Hussite movement becomes pure religious reform, spreads across borders
- Greater Germany: confederation with monarchy vs republic as core tension
- Castile: Pedro I survives (no Trastámara), more tolerant kingdom
- Portugal: Avis crisis proceeds as historical → Atlantic orientation
- Plantagenet France: consolidating, potential Papacy tensions developing
