    Black Settlement into the Philippines; is its potential intriguing enough to speculate upon it?

    from this file: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://scholarworks.umt.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=12903&context=etd&ved=2ahUKEwi1wPOwkaCBAxX7-jgGHRUkAqMQFnoECBMQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2dUIWP18EhuFmj-YYPcFDZ I am personally leaning on the potential of the...

    Water (& River) Buffaloes in Colder Climates

    Wondering about the labour-intensiveness of rice agriculture especially in the colder regions like Central China, Japan, and Italy, I have been left to wonder whether a breed of water buffaloes that can withstand colder temperatures is plausible at all. And in the case that it can be, I do also...

    After The Red's Decisive Darkness, or, the Aftermath of Operation Downfall

    Spoilers for this particular paragraph: After reading Paul Hyne's/The Red's Decisive Darkness, I can't help but shudder at the effects of such wholesale destruction that it has brought. Alongside the loss of Modern Japan as we knew it - at least when concerning ourselves with that specific...

    Tokugawa Hidetada's first son is further delayed, if he has any at all

    What can be its implications for the Tokugawa clan and the rest of the Shogunate once Hidetada failed to sire a son for some more years? Let's say that princesses were born in Iemitsu and Tadanaga's places. This question also goes even with Hidetada deciding to sire a child with a concubine...

    AHC: Luzon develops similarly as Classical and Feudal Japan

    I once saw a rice productivity map of the Philippines and, upon seeing the Cagayan and Central Luzon Valleys, I wondered how it would have fared under the koku system used in Japan. Hence, I'll just phrase this challenge with these questions: Up to what degree did the political economy of...

    Feudal Conflict in the Yukon Confederacy?

    I wonder how, before Fitzpatrick's conquests, intra-Yukon played about and how it resulted in internecine conflicts. I totally didn't draw this idea from the conflicts of Feudal Japan, especially from Genpei War.

    AHC: Most Culturally Americanised post-surrender Japan

    With a PoD no earlier than 16 August 1945, make Japan as culturally Americanised as possible; everything else is fair game, though I would never say that I specifically asked for bloodthirsty scenarios.

    AHC: America promulgates a second Constitution

    With a POD after the ratification of the Constitution, concur a scenario where a new constitution, its contents and effects notwithstanding (although a big bonus to tell), is adopted.

    Some Stupid Questions about the 5” Guns

    What are the differences between the ammunitions and parts of Japan and America’s aforementioned guns? Also, are there any sources for the Japanese 40 Type 89 guns? The Wiki doesn’t cooperate with me right now.

    Can the internal combustion engine see earlier widespread use?

    Or specifically, what are the advancements needed (such as in metallurgy) to make it worthwhile the effort for the time? EDIT: the time period can start from the last years of the 18th century, where prototypes are being made.

    Radagaisus gets his way

    What will happen when, depending on his allies, Radagaisus managed to subjugate Roman lands in Italy and impose his will on it? Maybe even burning Rome in the process?

    The Earliest Machine Alternative to the Steam Engine (Or How to Make a Primitive ICE)

    That said, however, can there be an engine that, let's say, ran on coal powder, that can be a good contender as an alternative for the Steam Engine? Source: one old conversation at LTTW

    Is a Permanently Divided China Plausible?

    Ancient Chinese history is mostly made up of dynasties taking up their mandate of heavens to rule the land, but with several hiccups like during the Three Kingdoms period. However, with enough divergences, is a region divided into several states taking its place plausible, or will it be too...

    US annexing Mindanao?

    I have read from a 1993 almanac here in the Philippines that the Muslims actually wanted to be annexed by the Americans, and supposedly, one US legislator actually written a law about it. It is just the protests from the Commonwealth government that this didn't pass. So, what are the chances...
