The most obvious obstacle to overcome in an early human society is that an homossexual couple wouldn't reproduce, and as such will not contribute to the furthering of the tribe. But with time and sedentarization of society you could develop a tolerance just as OTL, but to remove homophobia in...
I was aware of the legal protections, but not in such a degree. The only problem with said legislation, was the ability to enforce it. Many blantently disregarded or turned a blind eye, to incorrect practices, but it certainly proves that measures were taken to improve the status of natives in...
Thanks for the post, i will read right away.
It certainly would change things. For one the Qasiminid dynasty would be THE sayyid, and evoke enormous respect, just by their presence and actions. I doubt muslims would treat them like the emperor's family in Japan, but members of the dynasty would...
Im not suggesting that such an event would be the most likely outcome, but in time the minorities of the empire would also begin to take advantage of the political situation of the empire. Like the khorasanis and berbers. With the addition of the arab contenders to the equation it could be a...
Yes that was what i was looking for. But after a few generations of the Qasiminid dinasty, would the the Rashidun been descendents of the original companions of the prophet Muhammad, or anyone with enough power to take the throne? I think that in the case of an early end to the dynasty the first...
The problem with having 0 land is that even if you adapt your small society to survive in your current territory, you will inevitably find yourself in settler territory, sooner or later. Roughly 50 years for Oklahoma. They could either work for the agricultural settlements and gradually...
In a post war situation the male population would have been decimated, what few survivors were left wouldn´t have anywhere to go. I´d imagine a rapid population decline would take place and what few survivors remained would have to assimilate more thoroughly, and still be largely marginalized...
I wouldn´t call petty kings to rulers of millions of subjects with territories larger than most european countries. Britain would just invest their resources elsewhere. They could certainly chip away at other coasts of india, or conquer indonesian islands. There was certainly an ability to...
Damn you just reminded me how i missed that TL.
I think the problem with having a Qasim heir is an earlier adoption of dynastic caliphs. At first it might bring some stability, but what if Qasim had multiple sons, with his death some sort of palace factions infighting is almost inevitable. And...
Probably bloodier border wars. Reservation was often imposed to the defeated, as a "peace treaty", if there wasn´t even this offer, i´d bet many tribes would prefer going down fighting. Imagine sioux war but on steroids. Frontier violence escalates, settlers flee in their thousands, bloody...
I was just trying to disprove the idea that a complete eradication of native americans was ever on the table, so to speak. Not trying to imply that horrible and inadequate measures were never taken. But one must be clear in the purpose of an argument.
Yes on this we can agree. It was an unwarranted use of violence and deceit, but people didn´t just magically grow a conscience in the 18th century, there were europeans vouching for indian rights from the get go, especially in Spanish and Portuguese Americas, with de Las Casas and António...
Maybe you are confused, i asked about total genocide, not ethnic cleansing, i´m trying to find legislation on it, but it clearly isn´t appearing which makes you statement utterly false on the attempts of a government in North America to eradicate a group of peoples.
