vandals

What if the Vandals remain in Spain, never moving to Tunisia. What are plausible reasons for the Vandals to remain there? How would this affect the Western Roman Empire? Will we see a slower decline due to more secure grain supplies? Would the Eastern Roman Empire try to capture Tunisia from...

It is estimated, that circa 80k people participated in Vandal migration from Spain to North Africa. It was small drop compared to population of Roman Africa, although big enough to install Vandal rulling clas on top of locals, but no enough for lasting impact. But if one small fraction of these...

...with a point of divergence no earlier than around 300 AD. It was not long after this point that the Migration Period began in earnest, after all, and the Germanic peoples played prominently into this upheaval. But then again, they did a fairly poor job of actually expanding their language...

Athalaric was the grandson of Ostrogothic king Theodoric the Great. His mother and regent Amalasuintha, tried unsuccessfully to give him a Roman education. She was also in good terms with the Eastern Roman Empire, allowing their fleet to use the harbours of Sicily during the Vandalic war. Let...

The provinces and later Diocese of Africa was one of the wealthiest parts of the Roman Empire, providing much of the food to the European world. This begs the question: what if the barbarians were unable to conquer the region, getting stalled in Spain and Scicily? Would North Africa stand as the...

The vandal kingdom is a rather intriguing part of history to me. An Arian Christian state in north Africa, centered around Rome's old enemy city of Carthage, it met its end due to a loss to then-Christian Berbers that prompted a revolt against religious freedom being given to Trinitarians and...

In 460, Majorian was preparing to invade the Vandal Kingdom. He gathered the fleets meant for the invasion at Portus Illicitanus, but while the ships were docked there, traitors paid off by the Vandals destroyed them, forcing him to cancel his attack. What if the ships weren't destroyed?

So I have begun working on planning a world with a POD in 430. During the Siege of Hippo, St. Augustine recovers from his sickness and doesn't die. Thus, when the Vandals capture the city, he is still alive. Due to Vandal religious policies, Augustine is an open critic resulting in his...

If the Vandals settled permanently in what is today Morroco, would they be able to conquer the area and set up a kingdom there? How would the romans react to their land in what is today part of Morroco, being conquered? Would they even care? Would they want the vandals to submit as vassals...

Folks on this forum often like to discuss opportunities for early German unification, and I figured that you could not get much earlier than this, so... :p With any point of divergence no more than a few decades after the fall of the Western Roman Empire (and none before 476, either), would it...

What if Hilderic had not been killed at Gelimers order? How would ERE handle Africa if Hilderic was alive and in their possesion? Justinian's casus belli for invading hte Vandal kingdom was to reinstate Hilderic, a pro-Roman king who had been deposed by Hilderic. Hilderic was tolerant of the...

Where could East Germanic languages surive? How long could it persist? What would be the nature of the speakers(minority, majority, religious, legal, diasporic, scholarly, rural, urban, sedentary, aristocratic, nomadic, rich, poor)? How many East Germanic languages would be the maximum number...

Been doing research on the late Empire, and Stilicho has fast become one of my favorite Roman generals of all time. After his assassination in 408, the WRE fell apart fast. Not saying he could've saved the West on his own, since many historians think it was a lost cause by this point, but is...

Introduction This thread is for discussing the Vandal Kingdom and its fate. Why it the kingdoms history became what it was in OTL. Aswell as ATL Vandal kingdom history and the possibilities of the kingdom. You can ask questions, answear questions, propose solutions and explain OTL as you wish...

Pretty self explanatory. Have at least two East Germanic languages survive till present day

463- In mid-January, what will be known to historians as the Eudocian Conspiracy took place. Led by former Roman princess Eudocia and Roman-Moorish prince Masuma, they sought to kill the King of The Vandals. The conspiracy was formed due to religious differences between Eudocia, a Catholic and...

With a POD between 375 and 500, what are some worst-case scenarios for the Roman Empire in the 5th and 6th centuries? That is, how could it have fallen most spectacularly and into as many pieces as possible, as early as possible? What are some best-case scenarios for the Goths, Vandals, Franks...

In 468, Emperor Leo I of the Eastern Roman Empire launched a truly massive expedition to reconquer Carthage from the Vandals. Supposedly, 110,000 troops and 1,113 ships were involved; although the numbers could have been exaggerated, the Romans certainly spared no expense, and the invasion force...

Before I begin, I feel I must explain a few things about myself and where this is all coming from. In order to do so, I have to travel back a good 11 or 12 years (please, bare with me!). It was roughly around that time that I, a High School student with a deep interest in history, and some...
