Who's trying to do what now? (P.S. Nice timeline!)

I have begun getting very, very interested in Indian history (and Eastern history in general), and have as such began pondering PoDs concerning those regions. The most intriguing example to me is the idea that the Muslim invaders who established their great Sultanates from the mouth of the...

I can't see a plausible PoD unless it was VERY early on in the history of the Habsburgs' rise to power. I mean, if the Habsburgs gained control of France at the same time they had their sprawling empire in Europe (with or without Spain), that would shift the balance of power so much that there...

Huzzah, huzzah, and thrice huzzah for the return of the TL! Good job, Thande. :D

A bit unlikely, eh? probably should divvy-up the Pan-Asian Alliance. :o

Behold! I'm not quite satisfied with my African borders, but as I look at them I find myself asking "why not?" The orange is states of the Federation, the light peach-type color thing is the "Pan-African Alliance" and the brownish-orange is the "Pan-Asian Alliance". The other color represent...

That's because the idea of nationalism did not exist in the 1700s of OTL :confused:. (Except the French Revolution. But even then it took a while for it to spread to other countries.) Oh, and there was toward the latter half of the 19th century the beginnings of Arab Nationalism within the...

Arab nationalism arose out of the Germiyanid Empire, an Empire ruled over by a Turkish Sultan (Turks are not Arabs). The nationalists latched on to this. Perhaps I misunderstand. Why would Arab Nationalism not arise ITTL, and why would the Bryttisc not support it? It takes away Turkish control...

Thought the likelihood of that was quite likely. It's just adding an "-ism" to "commune". But if you have a different name for it tell me, I can change it. Thanks! Thank you!

Huh. That's weird. I posted, but it doesn't say so on the forum screen...

Well, its done. And I'm quite happy with it. I hope you all enjoy, and I have immensely enjoyed (most of the time) collaborating with you to make this TL. Here we are. To the present day. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1951 AD - This year would prove to be a pivotal...

Hey guys, real sorry, l just want to let you know that the last portion will be up for sure tomorrow. The problem was twofold, you see. One, Friday through Monday have been much busier than usual (you will note that I haven't been on since Friday) and two, the update has grown absolutely huge...

A smart plan. The carbs you would get from the potatoes contain 4 calories to the gram, whereas the fats in the pure cow milk would provide 9 calories to the gram. Of course, I guess that would all depend on how much crop you can pull in when your machines stop working all of the sudden. But...

Hey guys. Just bumping this to let you know that this is NOT dead, and you can expect an update on Saturday March 24th, a full month after the last update. We'll be taking this one to 2007. :)

If you want me to leave, just say so! :( ;) The way I see it, Thermopylae gave time for the Athenians to flee their city. If there is a Salamis, the outcome might be affected, as since there is no Thermopylae, there is no accomanying battle of Artemisium.

Ah. And the decisons of the grumpy Europeans were influenced by the aformentioned ambition of the "Europeanized" African to control valuable resources, i.e. diamonds, oil, etc. Anything else really motivate the post-colonial division of Africa? I see. So, urbanization of Africa was...

But what of tribal borders? Many of Africa's problems today arise from ethnic tensions between these various tribes. Now, to me, it seems as though these were paid little mind when determining how Africa was to be divvied up. That's an interesing point you make there, and it seemsas tough...

And, lo, the poster named Diamond came upon them, and the maps of the Cartographer shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the poster said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of wonderful flags, which shall be to all members. For unto you is joined this day...

Not too sure where to put this. If any of you have noticed, I have taken a bit of a break from These Hills Sing of Saxon Kings, but I have the itch to really finish it off. But there is one question bothering me. It involves Africa. This is a question concerning OTL, and exactly how the...
