Maybe the solution is a different agreement, in which the French get Palestine, Lebanon and the Alawait region, while the British get Jordan and Syria (probably with a land connection to Egypt). This way the British gets the Arabs, and the French gets the minorities.

Maybe its Germany who wants to get closer to France in face of a British-Russian entante. The British, Americans and Russians see the threat of a peaceful and hagmonic Europe, and grow closer together. This leads to the German fear of being encircled, so they turn to France to secure that flank...

I think the best thing they could have done is to keep Nap II on the throne of France, and then eastablish Habsburg ruled kingdoms of Hungary, Poland and Italy, while taking as much of germany as possible.

I fail to see how a muslim europe be any less "western civilization" than christian eurpe. It was the arabs that rediscovered greek writings after all, they will just call themselves western civilization. North Africa and the mid east will just be seen as part of the west. Even Jesus will still...

Well it's really not that far of from the borders before ww2. Poland gets almost all of Silesia and more of Belarus, but less of the Ukraine and Lithuania. So I guess, a different Silesian uprisings, and a different soviet-polish war.

Looks really good!

So, I was having my fun playing CKII as a Norse and doing a prepared invasion of Jerusalem that I turned into the Kingdom of Jerusalem. That got me thinking, what if it happened for real? How and what the affect would have been, if the Vikings invaded and took the holy land? I was thinking...

No more then all the south american dictatorships were, democracy was on the rise all around the world, and the U.S will pressure the junta to start making more and more democratic reforms, untill they will either step down for an elected government or fall to revolution. They might try to hold...

Probably no, it will be swept away with the other southern european dictatorships in the eighties, like Spain and Portugal. If it managed to keep going thanks to American support, it will fall in the nineties following the end of the cold war.

Great TL I really enjoyed everything so far! I think the Dutch should have tried to retain a land link to Luxembourg if Belgium is partitioned

A cool possibility is a Nestorian Tibet, as the Nestorian church sent many missionaries to tibet.

Maybe with less centralisation in Jerusalem, Hellenistic Judaism wins over and becomes the leading movement in Judaism, which might create an alt-christianity or even takes Christianity's place.

If Russia gets East Prussia and Courland, what if they decide to pursue a north sea cost? Another war against Sweden could get them Finland and Pomerania, and they had claims on Holstein, and if they can get that they will have a land connection all the way to the North Sea. They will probably...

But the TO and the Magyar invasions were in different time periods..they the TO didn't exist during the time frame of the magyars.

It looks like Scotland will be what? 10 percent bigger? And mostly farmlands. Even if it consolidated to the Hadrian border, what stops England from just invading? I think a more possible scenario to be that Scotland invade England during a weak period and change the border and right after that...

Well it doesn't seem like such a big difference... Couldn't Scotland just win some war with England and settle for that border? Except some farmlands changing hand it doesn't look like it would have such a big affect.

Buddhism almost disappeared in India, is it raely far fetched for it to never catch on or disappear in tibet? And also, if Tibet goes Christian then china will probably see a large Christian community as well, and will probably be a more Christian tolerant country.

Nestorian Christianity arrived to tibet as early as the 6th century, with Patriarch Timothy even considering to establish a Tibetan metropolitan. So, WI Christianity won over Buddhism for the hearts of the Tibetans? How will it affect the rest of Asia? Remember that Tibet influenced Mongolia...

But what do you think could cause Egypt to not join the war? Would an earlier and messier revolution that caused a civil war in Egypt is possible?

Well not only that, with less pressure from the south Israel could deploy more troops against Jordan amd might take all of the west bank, or at least Judea and Jerusalem.
