  1. Über Hellenistic Empire

    It'll soon fragment; there's no way an empire stretching from Morroco to Mongolia can survive in 300 B.C.
  2. The British Empire......LIVES!!!

    The British had already pused the French out of India during the Seven Years War, so i doubt it.
  3. A Few More Stars

    A nice concept, but there's absolutley no way that the U.S. can annex ALL of Mexico in 1848 and then defeat the British Empire two years later. You'll need to actually fight the Mexicans; once they're defeated, the Americans will need to comit most of its army to keeping the new territory down...
  4. Empress Elizabeth Lives Longer

    Austria was also preparing to take over Bavaria if they succeded in the war, and were going to give France Belgium. With that and Silesia, we're going to see an Austrian dominated Germany as opposed to a Prussian one. A matter of greater importance is what happens to Britains colonial empire...
  5. Empires of Steam

    Your 1865 map showed a large Greece with significant territory in North Africa. It seemed like you were describing how Europe evolved between your POD and your map. If you were describing Greece's direction, maybe it's possible, but i don't think having Leopold as king or a larger Greece gaining...
  6. Empires of Steam

    None of these examples come close to the situation Greece was in after gaining independence. It was incredibly poor and backward, and a better settlement after gaining independence the Ottomans won't change that. The great powers won't "pour in funding" to Greece, and it will never be as strong...
  7. Empires of Steam

    I think it's almost ASB to have greece become this liberal and powerful thirty years after it gain independence.
  8. TL: The rise of 20th century monarchies

    This has alot of potential; I'm interested in a Carlist Spain and European monarchies lasting out the 20th century. I have a few questions, though. What's going on in the balkans and A-H? Why are the CP's giving the North African colonies independence, theoretical or not, if they've put so...
  9. Roman Empire and Islam

    That's not true at all. It took centuries before Islam became the majority religion in most of the eastern provinces, and Anatolia was basically re-settled by turks.
  10. Bulgarian Constantinople

    Well, that's not completley true; the devishrme system created the huge muslim populations in Albania, Bosnia, and Bulgaria we see today. Where exactly did the native Greek flee? This is something i wasn't aware. Modern day Greeks are really Slavs?
  11. Nicholas II dies 1901

    In 1901, Nicholas II was extrememley ill (i forget with what) and nearly died. Though Alexandra was pregnant at the time (with another daughter, as it turned out), there were talks of changing the house laws so that Nicholas' daughter could come to the throne as Empress Olga I. Let's say the...
  12. Are (constitutional) Monarchies a good thing?

    Are you trying to present an argument? It isn't exactly making any sense. What makes constitutional monarchies superior to republics, imo, is that the center of the government is above politics. I don't think i could stress the importance of this enough. Besides that fact monarchies have a...
