  1. Anno Obumbratio: A 16th Century Alternate History

    Burgundian Italy!😉

  2. What if Charles VI of France lived longer?

    Unfortunately, by the time he died, Charles VI was a spent force. He was useful for political legitimacy, but that was it. He was, by all accounts, a well treated prisoner. He was allowed to hunt, have a mistress, and be seen on certain public occasions. He never made any political decisions by...

  3. The Red Rose and the Golden Fleece - A 15th Century TL

    As a fan of Bedford, it is nice to see a timeline where he and Anne have a kid! Though, I'm curious as to Gloucester being Regent of England. OTL he was denied that right, and it's likely both Bedford, Bishop Beaufort, and many of the other magnates were behind this. Gloucester was popular...

  4. Restoration of the Great Ming: A Tianqi Timeline

    The thing I love about this timeline is how excellent a job you do of putting the events of this timeline in historical context. I feel sometimes that authors jump right into the alt-hist, with little discussion on how things are changing. While this may be fairly obvious for certain events, I...

  5. So Evident a Danger: The Consequences of War between Britain, Prussia and Russia in 1791

    As am I. The idea of Poland-Lithuania surviving longer into the revolutionary wars, and possibly even surviving into the 19th century, makes this timeline a must-read for me. I'm also interested to see the knock-on effects for the French revolution!

  6. WI: No Hannoverian Dynasty, or Queen Anne of Great Britain has surviving children

    How would Hanover develop with the Hannoverians remaining in Hannover?

  7. WI: No Hannoverian Dynasty, or Queen Anne of Great Britain has surviving children

    Queen Anne famously had 17 pregnancies, with none of her children surviving her. Only five of her pregnancies resulted in a live birth, and only three children lived longer than a few minutes or days after their birth. The remainder were stillborn or miscarriages. So here is the POD, Queen Anne...

  8. So Evident a Danger: The Consequences of War between Britain, Prussia and Russia in 1791

    I am really loving this timeline. The knock on effects are very interesting to think about, and I look forward to seeing where you take this.

  9. Wi: Pagan Revival rather than Reformation

    I would agree that its not impossible, but it would need an earlier POD. The pattern of Mongol conquest and rule doesn't reveal any active effort to destroy established religions (excepting of course when that comes hand in hand with the destruction of cities, or people groups), or to promote...

  10. Wi: Pagan Revival rather than Reformation

    The problem there is that historically, I don't think the Mongols ever converted people to Tengrism. The Mongols instead, as with the Golden Horde and the IlKhanate, converted to Islam. If the Mongols conquered Europe, its likely they would have converted to Christianity.

  11. WI: Universal Monarchy, Valois edition - One King for England, Spain, France, the Netherlands and Italy

    I agree that there would be both opposition, and efforts to protect local interests. OTL's Charles V had similar issues when he inherited Spain, and OTL's Henry V had to agree to specific terms in the Treaty of Troyes about not appointing foreigners and not alienating french land when he tried...

  12. WI: Universal Monarchy, Valois edition - One King for England, Spain, France, the Netherlands and Italy

    One of the things I find interesting in history was OTL's Charles V and the idea of a universal Christian monarchy. Charles V is often considered closest to this idea in the early modern era, with him having ruled the Hapsburg lands, much of the Burgundian inheritance, Spain, and parts of Italy...

  13. Earliest possible Kingdom of Great Britain?

    I think an earlier union under Edward II and Margaret would be interesting, especially on relations between France and Britain. People keep talking about British-French rivalries, and France trying to create some kind of Auld Alliance with someone. That just seems very anachronistic, and using...

  14. To what exact proportions is the native American plight attributable to diseases or European colonialism?

    I had been thinking about this as a comparative example this morning. While British colonialism didn't cause the potato blight, it both set up the circumstances for it to be as devestating as it was, and for the response to it to lead to more deaths and misery, coupled with a permanent decline...

  15. To what exact proportions is the native American plight attributable to diseases or European colonialism?

    I was about to come in to say this. I don't know where this would fall on a percentage scale. Much of the initial collapse was disease. Native Americans got hit by a combination of new diseases that no one in Eurasia had to deal with. The Black Death killed between a third to two-thirds of...

  16. Map Thread XXI

    I was trying to map 17th century east asia to your Europe, and I was trying to figure out TTL's Poland's OTL equivalent here. Are you setting them up as the Manchu/Jurchen equivalent?

  17. Map Thread XXI

    Haha I mean yes. I used to live in Okinawa (hence of all details on the map, that is where my eyes were drawn to) and those beaches and coral reefs are absolutely stunning. Just the clearest water. The Ryukyu people have been through a lot, so it makes me sad to see the islands partitioned.

  18. Map Thread XXI

    Why does the republic of China have the islands of ishigaki and Iriomote? Those are all part of Okinawa prefecture.

  19. Map Thread XXI

    Wonderful looking map. My only possible critique is that it would seem more likely for Austria not to have Galicia. If the Hapsburgs obtained the crown of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth , it doesn't seem likely it would have any of its partition boundaries.

  20. Map Thread XXI

    Nice map. Is the Empire of Lousiana French? I'm curious why it took the name Louisiana if it evolved from a surviving New France - Based purely on the population of the Great Lakes and Quebec, it would look like the Canada half would have the higher population. As well, the country named...
