After Frederick III died in 1493 there technically was no Emperor of the Romans until Pope Julius II issued a declaration which allowed the elected King of the Germans Maximillian the use of the title elected Emperor of the Romans, but that was only in 1508. Furthermore Pope Alexander VI could...
Would Vidkun Quisling still try to pull his coup d'état if the German invasion of Norway would be failing or would he realise it in time and call the coup off.
Sorry, but that sounds rather apocryphal to me. Modernist architecture and abstract art became popular in the USA after WW2 not least because those styles were demonised by both Nazi Germany and Stalin's Soviet Union, America's major adversaries.
What will an Ottoman neutrality mean for the Armenians? Will they be spared their OTL's fate or did that happen independently from the war? With no way for Greece to go through with their Megali idea what will be the fate of the Greeks in the Ottoman Empire?
That's assuming that France still falls, which, unlike Poland, is far from certain. After a failed invasion of Norway the Germans could become too cautious in their attack on the Benelux countries and France or might even postpone Fall Gelb, giving the Allies more time to prepare.
Since Jesus is supposed to have been born during the reign of King Herod the Great he could have been born no later than 4 BCE, likely between 7 and 4 BCE, so the POD would have been 24 to 27 years before his birth. His mother Mary was still a teenager when she gave birth, likely no more than 14...
He would need to have a different sexual orientation. His real problem was that he was a self loathing and closeted homosexual in a world where homosexuality was considered either a crime or a mental disorder or both. Everything else he did like his castle building craze were merely symptoms of...
No, it would in fact be about 23% less. In Augustian times a simple legionary would earn 225 denarii or 9 aurei, then struck at a rate of 40 to a Roman pound, i.e. 9/40 or 22.5% of a Roman pound of gold a year. The solidus was struck at a rate of 72 to a Roman pound, so a 5th century legionary...
No Bishops at all or merely no resident Bishops. Keep in mind that well into the 18th century it wasn't unusual for Bishops to hold multiple espiscopal sees simultaniously, usually residing in their most important see and visiting some more remote sees just for their investiture, and some...
Without Hitler there never would've been an NSDAP to begin with, it would've remaimed Anton Drexler's DAP, an insignificant anti-semitic fringe party with membership counted in the dozens and all but forgotten by now. There would near certainly have arisen quite a number of other far-right...
Indeed, one must remember that bishops back then were usually the 2nd or 3rd sons of the high nobility, real princes of the church with the emphasis on princes, who received their posts due to daddy the earl or duke buying it for them, not due to any increased amount of piety. And if you...
With Lincoln being a more moderate Republican I wonder whether the Upper South would have seceeded the way they did, which forced President Chase to send the Army into Maryland, Delaware and Kentucky first to prevent the Ordinances of Secession of said states from being implemented, thus cutting...
200'000 fewer legal abortions will not translate into 200'000 more babies born. What it would mean would be several thousand women of childbearing age dying due to botched illegal abortions, others having their abortions carried out in neighbouring countries, and on top of that people would also...
What if post Great War Palestine wouldn't have been governed by Britain as a League of Nations mandate, but turned into a Dominion of the British Empire with full independence under a common monarch as a future goal, but with the Jews and Palestinians unable to agree on a common Jewish or Arab...
