  1. If Sweden-Norway joins the Second Schleswig War, could it led to a united Scandinavia ?

    The three parliaments will be one single governing body. Just geographically distant. And they failed, apparently. You must have the will to do something, and prioritise it. In this case unity. If everyone goes their own way you get OTL, with separatists all around, and outside forces holding...

  2. If Sweden-Norway joins the Second Schleswig War, could it led to a united Scandinavia ?

    Instead of dealing with kings in a hierarchy with one another, it might be easier to keep three separate states in the union, with their own kings and parliaments, but have a FIRM commitment that all decisions must be the same. We will have thorough negotiations before every decision so all...

  3. Linear B remains in use and is adopted by Rome

    We can assume that the characters would be simplified and easier to write as time goes by. Our letters developed in that way OTL. There could easily be developed ways to write consonants followed by no vowel, and ways to distinguish consonants better, such as d t th and b p ph, so it would not...

  4. AHC/WI: Saxons settled Iceland?

    I was under the impression that the Saxons dominated North Sea shipping, until Charlemagne conquered them. The resulting power void allowed the Scandinavians to become seafaring Vikings instead. Is going to Iceland that much different from sailing in the North Sea?

  5. No metric system

    The bible readers are perhaps more into the cubit (or ell) as basis for their temples.

  6. What Happens to Napoleon I if he's still alive when Napoleon III takes over?

    Why would anyone laugh?

  7. Could Cortez have taken the Aztecs himself?

    Did he not at first have 500 men, later enforced with 1100 men taken from Narvaez?

  8. What is the most territory Germany could get away with after unconditional surrender in WW2?

    A quick look on the internet gives that the Western plans by Churchill, Roosevelt and Morgenthau all included ethnic cleansing of East Prussia, although Pomerania and Silesia were more German than in our reality. Churchill's plan even gave Germany Hungary and Transcarpathia, so that might be...

  9. What is the most territory Germany could get away with after unconditional surrender in WW2?

    Why must they lose East Prussia?

  10. AHC:Greater Germany after cold war

    I remember some young Germans back in 1990 saying that Austria was needed to complete unification of Germany. It is not that far fetched to make a new Anschluss, and if there is momentum, we might include Luxemburg and Königsberg and Gumbinnen too, even though no Germans lived there at the time...

  11. AHC : europe as slavic as possible.

    Sweden and Denmark had lots of Slavic connections in the nobility during the 1100-1500 period, leaving a number of first names of Slavic origin as typical Danish and Swedish names. Perhaps some permanent settlements could make whole regions or even countries Slavic.

  12. AHQ/AHC: Anti-Scandinavian Sentiments a thing?

    I heard that in parts of Spain today, where there are Swedish settlers, if a crime is committed, they usually suspect a Swede beforehand.

  13. WI/AHC Christian August of Augustenburg living King of Sweden post 1810

    I thought that was the case, but I hoped to hear about something less known.

  14. WI/AHC Christian August of Augustenburg living King of Sweden post 1810

    What happened in 1715? Was Charles XII less in power for the last three years?

  15. WI the Irish settled Iceland?

    Perhaps the monks and hermits could have started schools for the children in the new settlements, teaching Christianity and Irish and other things.

  16. WI the Irish settled Iceland?

    The Icelanders are said to have two thirds Scottish-Irish ancestry on the female side, while only one fifth Celtic on the male side, so an Irish Iceland is not that far from OTL, we just need to tweak the circumstances a bit. Say that the early population tilts more toward speaking Irish than...

  17. WI the Irish settled Iceland?

    If Iceland had been Irish, then there might have been one strong Gaelic language today.

  18. WI Jesus lead an actual revolt against Rome?

    On the other hand, a militant violent martial Christianity would be more similar to how the Christian European societies developed in mediaeval and early modern times, so the religion would be less contradictory.

  19. Pre-Columbian knowledge confirmed: A monk in 14th-century Italy wrote about the Americas

    There are ancient buildings in this continent made by "huge slabs of stone", so this makes me wonder how far the Scandinavians went on their travels.

  20. AHC: Russian Sweden

    Could Peter I have continued the conquest of Finland 1714/1715 with an invasion of western Sweden in the following years? He threatened to do so in 1720 but more as pressure to achieve a peace treaty than out of any real wish to do so. Given Sweden's meagre resources at the time, could a...
