  1. No Turks in Anatolia - Where else?

    I've been working on a timeline of mine and I am increasingly finding that the PoD I've gone with puts me a head of many of the foundational stones of the modern world. One such example is it predates the arrival of the Turks in Anatolia. So, for diversities sake, I was wondering how this could...

  2. Wessex-Danelaw Stalemate?

    How would it be possible for England to be permanently divided into two spheres, one dominated by Wessex and the other by the Danelaw? My knowledge of Early Medieval England is sadly not great, but from what I have read the key focuses would be dealing with Alfred the Great in some way...

  3. Looking for a comprehensive Russian/Polish history

    I'm planning on writing a timeline whose PoD is in Eastern Europe in the 800/900s, but my knowledge of the period is rather lacking. I've been looking into a few books which cover the periods of Russian history I am looking at in particular the early history of Russia into the Imperial era and...

  4. An "African" "Mexico"

    Choosing this tile was rather difficult, I must say. Inspired by Capricus' map, I've grown curious as to how a timeline could occur where a colonial African state can become similar to our Mexico. By that I do not mean in a strict sense, but in a broad sense of cultural mingling and...

  5. Results of a Russo-Central Powers War

    How do you see the results of a war between Germany and Austria Hungary versus only Russia? I recall reading somewhere that the French were initially apprehensive in getting involved in the Serbian affair and it was Germany's greedy demands and implementation of the Schlieffen Plan which...

  6. Help with a German Eurasia

    I am looking for some advice in regards to a map I am working on which is a less wanked version of my German China map I did a while ago. The basic premise is that due to a series of events originating in the Early Middle Ages the Teutonic Order finds itself in control of increasingly large...

  7. New Hearts of Iron II Expansion?

    I am now exceptionally confused. I knew about Arsenal of Democracy when Paradox announced their 'Europa Engine' program, along with For the Glory remake of Europa Universalis II. A team of dedicated modders recreating an older Paradox game with new features and improvements, whilst getting...

  8. Realistic Threeism?

    Let us imagine that an ideology akin to Threeism, from George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, arises in a country such as Britain, the popular choice, although it can be any country. The characteristics of this state include a permanently stratified society with a definitive Upper, Middle and...

  9. AH Challenge: German Transylvania

    Your challenge, should you accept it, is to have the OTL region of Transylvania ethnically German with a PoD after the initial German settlements in the region in the 12th century. If I recall correctly, Transylvania had a significant German population. Yet the German population was mostly...

  10. A Christian Golden Horde?

    I will admit that I do not know a lot about this particular region during this period, but I came up with this idea whilst playing a bit of Europa Unviersalis III. What are the chances of the Golden Horde (or another Mongol successor state covering southern Russia and western Central Asia)...

  11. Ah Challenge: Pan-Atlanticism

    Whilst researching the theory of an 'Atlantic Revolution' for my exams a thought came to me about the possibility of some sort of Pan-Atlanticism, in other words an ideology that supported the idea of a greater amount of unification between both sides of the Atlantic, of Europe and the Americas...

  12. The Ressurections

    I will admit, it is a book I have looked a little bit into but have yet to get round to buying it. Before I take that last leap I would like to ask you, fellow members, for your opinions on Simon Louvish novel. The premise and AH scenario intrigues me, but I know little of the actually plot...

  13. AH Challenge: Latin Empire Survives

    For those who don't know what I am talking about, the Latin Empire was a Crusader State built from the ashes of Byzantium after the second sacking of Constantinople during the Fourth Crusade. IOTL it lasted barely 50 years, but what if it lasted longer? How could this be achieved, and what might...

  14. Japan and Korea as Equals

    What would have to be done so that Japan and Korea are of near equal power, or at least the conquest of one or the other would be too difficult to be practical for the invader? In many timelines I have seen it seems that Japan almost always takes over Korea. I find that is not necessarily the...

  15. Independent Kingdom of Leon

    How can the Kingdom of Leon remain independent from Castile? In the many alternate Spain's I have seen a few things keep recurring, namely a larger Portugal and an independent Aragon. But what of Leon? How can it remain independent from being absorbed into Castile? The union between Leon and...

  16. AH Challenge: Serbian Empire Survives

    The Serbian Empire of Stefan Dušan lasted from 1346 to 1371. Under his rule Serbia reached its territorial peak by seizing territories to the south, south-east and east at the expense of Byzantium. He also created the Dušan's Code, a juridical achievement unique among the European states of the...

  17. Teutonic Order becomes "Prussia"

    Inspired buy a former game of Europa Universalis 3, what possibilities are there that the State of the Teutonic Order would remain intact as an independent entity, but later become a monarchy, stretching from Danzig to Reval? The nature of the monarchy itself, and whether it can be said to be...

  18. Development of the Crusader States?

    Say that the Crusades are a success and several Christian Kingdoms are set up from Egypt to the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia. Also, the Mongols never attack Perisa, so places such as Baghdad and Samarkand are never sacked and thus there is much less pressure on the Muslims from the East. My...

  19. WI Early Church Divestment?

    During the tenure of Pope Paschal II, he presented the idea of church divestment as a strategy for ending the Investiture Controversy. Obviously the clergy did not approve of this, since it entailed a significant loss of influence on their part. As a result the planned divestment of the church...

  20. AH Challenge: Catholic Russia

    Your challenge, should you accept it, is to have Russia convert to Catholicism instead of Orthodoxy. I am aware this is a very difficult challenge, but then if it wasn't it wouldn't be a challenge at all. For the first part somehow you must prevent the Greek Orthodox faith from being accepted...
