Well, no one knows the exact numbers for the OTL Black Death... but I made the best estimation I could. Wikipedia.

And so the rats take over... What if the Black Death was more effective at killing people? Asia Chinese/Mongolian Empires: OTL - Lost 66.7% of its population, ~25 million casualties. TTL - Lost 91.5% of its population, ~34 million casualties. Hubei, Chinese province: OTL - 90% casualties...

Vatican City is theocratic, Israel... well, it might as well be. As I've already said, these countries don't get the Chinaman. To say that ALL countries get the perfect percentage of Chinese would be ASB. There can be anomalies.

There are a lot of Han Chinese. They constitute perhaps ~19% of the global population today, by themselves. The Han number about 1.3 billion, including those that live outside of the People's Republic of China. How would it be possible so that almost every nation in the world, barring already...

Ideas - Amerindians are devastated a bit more from European diseases. Mean, but it provides for more room. - Less of a Puritan theocracy initially, but still same numbers of immigration. - More Catholic immigration. - Maybe larger Dutch colonies, more of a Dutchification that could spread the...

Well, as long as immigration to the United States isn't disrupted with the Immigration Exclusion Acts that got passed in the 1880s, early 1900s... its good! There's got to be a way to create a more liberal society in that way. How would an American 'Open Door' Policy be created and sustained...

There are a few things in alternate history that absolutely fascinate and intrigue me. I like protracted dystopic conflicts, as many of us do, it seems. I enjoy large land empires as well, another idea popular in this genre. I am interested in utopianist societies, strange theocracies...

In my timeline Sidney, things play out similiarily. There's an Oregon War in 1852, and I plan to let the British win. I just don't know how to go writing it. What would be the British's strategy? What would be the American's strategy? How much of a standing army does each side have? What weapons...

Oh yeah. Any news on the movie, yet? I freaking loved this book. So awesome. Some alternate scenarios that could have happened: - The nuclear submarine is destroyed by the loyalist sub. No nuclear missiles: no destroying the Chinese Communist government headquarters, which means that China...

If the Americans let the issue wait for a few years, Palmerston would have become Foreign Secretary, and he was quite a hawk. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_John_Temple%2C_3rd_Viscount_Palmerston How would Britain wage a successful war at this time, and what would be the consequences?

I need a good map of East Asia, for a YouTube production.

The Japanese gave their Jews a lot of initial freedoms until they relocated them to only one quarter of Shanghai. They had their own newspapers, schools, places of worship. The Japanese will probably ruthlessly try to incorporate them into their society, so long as it doesn't look like they're...

Maybe some Jewish Zionist movement to establish a homeland somewhere in the Far East? That's too much coolness to hope for, though. BTW, I doubt that you could get more than say, 600,000 Jews to the Far East. It was just so freaking far away.

In my Jiangless World timeline, the Empire of Japan does not join the Axis, and takes quite a few Jews to settle mainly Manchuria, Hokkaido, Shanghai, and a few other locales. About 155,000 Jews, in contrast to the 20,000 they took in OTL.

How could we engineer a situation in which at least Syria, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Yemen, Iraq and Jordan form into a functioning Arabic Federation, probably ruled by a Ba'ath-like party, that can keep its economy going, without being destroyed and broken up by other powers... in the 1960s. They...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cretaceous-Tertiary_extinction_event Assuming that the hypothesis that a 10-kilometer diameter asteroid, with the force of 100 trillion tons of TNT caused this extinction event, what would happen if said asteroid does not collide with Earth? Pretty big deal here...

I'm thinking this is probably ASB. One thing I heard from Mr. Bondoc... there is a huge amount of methane frozen in Siberian peat bogs. Increase the temperature, Bondoc says, and such methane will be released, accelerating global warming.

Revolutionary forces had been boiling in Imperial Russia for nearly one hundred years. Everything about Russia's history to that point was directed towards a radical revolution. The Russian Revolution of 1917 didn't happen as the result of any small event as trivial as a lack of food. How long...

The Victory of the Dora? I would say mid-July, to early August.

I'm a total Russophile. In my one of my core timelines, they create an ideology that is a mix between Chinese 'reformed' communism and Drakan 'world domination, annex all puppet states' expansionism. Populations are shifted around, just like in the Assyrian Empire, to create a unique national...
