I do remember I once saw a videoclip of a person recalling her memories from 2001, and she said "I thought this was going to be it, that the revolution would come and everybody would be expropiated". So despite the almost impossibility, I can see where you're coming from.
2001 was really a...
Avoid the "pristine nature" ideology, or have it transformed.
The pristine nature myth is embed from the conception of the first national parks in the US, Argentina and elsewhere. It basically is the idea that there are portions of the world that have been "untouched" by the Hand of Man and...
'Biblical accurate angels' are ironically more of a modern meme. The Bible mentions angels who look like humans or at least disguise as humans in numerous occassions. The seraphim and ophamin are just another category of angel, not a more "accurate" one.
I could see a more esoteric, perhaps...
The thing is... the Romans did advance quite a bit in engineering. They were good at solving practical and huge scale problems as their aqueducts, roads, amphitheatres, etc, manifest.
The thing the Romans didn't have was a scientific tradition. The Grecorroman world still saw the ancient Greek...
Thank you!! This is more of a loose concept more than a concrete timeline, but my idea is to discuss it here and at least create a map and scenario about it.
Consider the following:

If you read the article, there is plenty of evidence that Andean seafaring capabilities were much more developed than usually thought.
In fact, the first contact between the Spanish and the Inca was with an ocean-going...
All the issues you mention can be traced back to Spanish colonization. Spanish colonization was always concentrated in the capitals because the Spanish economic model was basically to extract the riches from the Americas and get them to ports as fast as possible, instead of "developing" the...
Ahhh, a thing of beauty. What a timeline would be with these cars on the streets of Argentina...

Given that IAME was already producing pick-ups for work purposes (the Rastrojero, https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rastrojero) I'm...
In fact, one of Argentina's largest and most stable industrial exports are indeed auto parts and automobiles.
That would be the light blue part here (as of 2012, but the share has remained more or less constant)
I'm not an expert on the automobile industry or how it could grow more, but it...
I think OTL Yugoslavia might be a good comparison.
Yugoslavia was an union of nations that had severe grudges with each other, but were joined together by a semi-prosperous economy, unifying ideology, competent leadership and nationalism being kept in the background by giving nations at least...
No? It's unlikely but it doesn't require literal divine intervention to happen?
US society during the Great Depression was strained to near the breaking point. Without clear leadership and reforms like OTL, violence spiralling out of control is far from impossible.
The collapse of the world's...
During the Great Depression, a Second American Civil War erupts. Fascists, communists, and democratic forces fight each other and they eventually invite volunteer armies from other nations. It's the Spanish Civil War but an order of magnitude larger.
So what the conclusion seems to be is that the Allies are pretty much screwed. Especially in the scenario which I described which happens in 1941 with the US joining in right in the height of the Axis tide.
If the initial German offensive against France failed, or Barbarrosa failed (or at least...
Thanks for the correction. Somehow I was convinced that there were more Jains than Buddhists. But yes, that is still a small number for what is the homeland of Buddhism and which historically (AFAIK?) had plenty of contact with other Buddhist nations.
Well I guess it isn't that unnusual, plenty...
