Might settle the island less thoroughly (basically like a naval pit stop instead of some place to actually live) and so reduce human footprint overall.

-Alexander never fails -Always a split between west-east Christian churches/sects

Sorry, I missed this reply until just recently. That's interesting. I've never heard about ambitious Galician nobility that early before, but nothing I've read contradicts it. 9th and 10th century Galician nobles sought the expansion of the kingdom, and those trends were probably extensions of...

Well, the LIA is still happening regardless of the Black Death so there will still be increasing pressure on food supplies. So perhaps more peasant revolts. At the same time, I think it slowed down the middle-ages renaissance and hurt the economy (depopulation). At the margin it will also have...

It should be noted that the PoD is about 4 centuries prior to the Jin Dynasty, I was generalizing here. But I'll freely admit that information on Korea that is both 1. free and 2. English/Spanish is hard to come by.

Since I'm trying for this myself, I'm watching the thread with interest. Things I did in Japan were to extend an alternate north/southern courts era and strengthen Confucianism and certain trade in an attempt to undercut any rise of the warrior class. For Korea I've done something similar to...

I think that did rarely happen, but it was tourney armor, something reinforced to prevent injuries, not used in battle.

Yes. Egypt's a more attractive prize now. For more than just Tripoli... Though their involvement here is what begins the serious spread of Islam into the Kanem Empire, so Islam in general gained too.

2.80 2.80 - Moments Once Rolando II gave approval for an expedition, Prince Juan, assembled and army in Africa with astonishing speed. A majority of his forces were known as “Saharan Moors”[1] tough mounted tribesmen from beyond the borders. They joined him in a steady stream as he marched...

Well we're at the point there where a number of things could lead to a World War, so I don't see why there couldn't be a path that way if China is broken up. I was actually just wondering about the possible mechanics of the western powers dividing China into colonies and what it would take to...

Other. Probably a stable successful Republican Spain, but Republican Spain from OTL that was the option give was not that! Otherwise... Mine of course! ;)

What's with the links? They all open a new thread creating window. RE: The actual timeline, I find the actions of Aetius improbable and would ask for some clarification on the Goths. Are they still in Spain? If so I may have some other questions. ED: @ Hero of Canton: Chrome, PC.

I'd think a Sonora owned by the US would end up more like the Salton Sea area than San Diego.

Well then, how do you make all Islamic countries like that without reducing it to those two?

They did have it in Cairo, but with the waning of their power they moved it al-Askar (and renovated it) to increase their legitimacy by associating themselves more closely with the Abbasids who built the city. It's also a way to distance them from potential unrest and riots in Fustat/Cairo for...

My first thought is something analogous to the Prussian Junkers.

It's also possible that the arrival of the Huns actually stopped Germanic migration westward and when they fell apart if started up again so Hun arrival could have the opposite effect. Also note the developmental differences between 50BC and 400AD in Germania are vast. It's going to be a very...

2.79 2.79 - Sustainer When Rolando II raided Tripoli in 1173 there were no reprisals. The Makanid Caliphs of Egypt were grown weak. Their ambitions broken on the spears of the Eastern Empire, their influence crushed by Spañan ships. Revolts broke out and were suppressed only with the help of...

200,000+ VIEWS! 200,000+ VIEWS! Thank you! That is fantastic! This Timeline could only go on so long because of the readers. It sounds cliche, but I couldn't have done it without you guys. The next update is drafted and I will be editing it tonight for post tomorrow. It might answer some of...

If you look at medieval Castilian and medieval Mozarabic they are relatively similar and IIRC were mutually intelligible. It's as Spanish as anything else in the tenth century.
