The idea of a surviving Norse presence in the Americas is a very popular 'What if'. In an alternate scenario where there was a continuous Viking settlement in Vinland - What is now Newfoundland- is a very interesting subject in alternate history. However, I wanted to talk about one thing...

Imagine if you will, Vikings begin expanding into North America after Leif Erikson's discovery. Aside from how that would drastically alter the course of history as we know it, I'm curious as to how it would impact native American tribes. Aside from predicable conflicts and such, I can't get the...

Assuming in a TL where the US successfully and permanently enfranchises African Americans, establishes common ground for poor whites and freedman with 40 acres and mule, prevents Voting restrictions (No Poll Taxes or Literacy Tests for anyone) and completely prevents Jim Crow Laws from...

Like it says on the tin. Suppose, for one reason or another, that Mexico doesn't lose Texas, California and everything in between those two places to the United States in the mid 19th century. Would the various Native American peoples be treated differently than they were by Washington as a...

I've seen a couple threads on "Viking Islam" - or to describe it more accurately - scandinavian paganism being reworked into a evangelical religion like Christianity, Buddhism & co Though the focus tend to be, as its often the case, Europe and wheter this religion - should it exist - be able...

What would life look like for these for groups what would be present day Oklahoma? Do American Indians get a seat in the national legislature? Do Freedman and Indian Freedman get left alone and stay in their own little corner of the state? Do enslaved people revolt in these areas? What happens...

What would have been the consequences of a Tlingit victory at the Sitka battle and/or successful resistance to the Tsarist expeditionary forces? Either that the Tlingits would have had able to secure their powder supply (without its transporters being blown away) possibly making them able to...

King Phillip's War was the English name for a conflict between an alliance of Native American tribes in what is now New England and the Snglish settlers. The English settler population was badly hit by the war (obviously the natives were worse hit in the end). But what if Chief Metacomet had...

Would it be possible, with a POD after 1520 or so, for there to be a native state in North America that resists European colonization? This is an incredibly tall order, of course, given their relatively small population when compared to places like Mesoamerica and the Andes at the time of...

Greetings, everyone. This thread is a replacement for the apparently concluded thread started in 2019 by Tempered Zen. I intend this thread to be a continuation of that earlier discussion, but in a forum with more impact and with greater longevity. Things to discuss in this thread (friendly...

I was reading through Zheng He by Zhou Zibin, given to me by my professor who is from mainland china. In chapter 27 of the book, the book records using ming records that in 1410, a drought in the lucrative fur trade had created a small economic downturn which was negatively impacting the...

Chapter 1: The Great Kingdom It was a bright summer day in the city of Kahoquah. It was the a type of day where the warmth was cooled by a soft summer breeze that soothed the soul and refreshed all those who felt it; the type of day where merchants and vendors would gather at the markets...
