  1. Brazil and Argentina split Paraguay between them after the Paraguayan War

    How it would be divided? Who gets what? Leads to war? I think I read they almost came to blows, or so I heard. Can this butterfly the end of the Empire?

  2. WI: No fractional reserve banking?

    Fractional Reserve Banking ins't essentially teleporting money from the future to the now? Seems immensely stupid and short-sighted to me.

  3. WI: Bleda wins over Atilla and leads the Huns

    From what I remember, they had a leadership dispute and Bleda lost. I think Bleda favoured going after Persia and the Eastern part of the Roman Empire, from what I remember.

  4. Roman industrial revolution

    Roman Industrialization doesn't seem believable to me. I could buy Greek Industrialization, but Roman?! Nah.

  5. WI: Nazi Germany Fails to Secure Norway

    The germans suicide collectively for failing to take a near-defenseless country

  6. Hispania/Iberia united by Portugal

    That said, one wonders if the Portuguese just won't be hit by inflation as well, or won't mispend the money too. If I were to give a portuguese "white albatross", I would say India and Morroco. The portuguese at first barely could give two shits about Brazil, Brazil to them was just jungle and...

  7. Why were armies in Antiquity seemingly larger than those in the Middle Ages?

    Also the romans didn't have limitations like "campaign seasons" and having to finish wars fast so the peasantry could go back home before winter.

  8. What conditions need to develop city-states, and how to keep them?

    What about guncotton? Maranhão nearby is a good producer of cotton. No cannon? Damn, the image was cool. Maybe it wastes too much powder? Aren't there fortifications able to withstand cannon attacks, like Star Fortresses? What about catapults, ballista and rockets?

  9. What conditions need to develop city-states, and how to keep them?

    My original plans included a lot of naval and fluvial combat and such. Of course, fleet is relative - indian canoes, galleys, sailships, biofuel-powered motorboats, with the biggest ships built by the most powerful city-states eventually being something like those: But transporting angry dudes...

  10. Hispania/Iberia united by Portugal

    Portuguese Hispania might be richer, because the Portuguese, unlike the Castilleans, didn't have much interest in the wider politics of Europe at the time, or creating a Universal Christian Empire. This will probably butterfly the Iberian Union, which means no wasteful languishing of the empire...

  11. What conditions need to develop city-states, and how to keep them?

    Hmmm... I need to study the local geography, then. I know for a fact that Belém has hill-areas, althrough the original city was built in a low area, it expanded into a small hill, and then again into the low riverside areas and swamps. Ground here is pretty level as rule, but that might be...

  12. Would the Wallies have made peace if Stalin dropped out of WW2?

    WAllies peace out, proceed to clean Japan's clocks, come back in the early fifties with a rain of nukes. War won, Hitler is either dead already or gets killed by his subordinates in short order, Germany surrenders, war over. Anyone that argues can argue with the huge...

  13. What conditions need to develop city-states, and how to keep them?

    This is not actually a alternate but Future History question for a TL I plan one day, but the conditions might seem similar so I'm rolling with it. So, I have this setting where: - There's a oil peak collapse followed by a "dim age" from the late 21th century until the early 23th century...

  19. Hispania/Iberia united by Portugal
