In my spare time I've been developing a hockey sim and perhaps over the summer I'll have some more time to work on it, and I thought it'd be fun to use an alternate history from around the time hockey was starting to develop (1860s-'70s) to make some cities more prominent :D so that I could...

Seen a few TLs, challenges and speculation on Al-Andalus over the past while and have been meaning to explore this. Title basically sums up what I'm asking. Is there any way we could see Christianity or Islam- whichever ends up dominating Iberia, being more tolerant of the other. I realize...

Just a thought that came to me a few days ago I thought I'd throw up here. As a sort of hypothetical, let's say the PoD would take place some time in the early '20s. A National-Socialist movement or some such still emerges, and it's still xenophobic, enjoys eugenics, totalitarian in nature...

I'm interested in writing some AH-inspired fiction starting around the early to late Middle Ages. In doing so I've been trying to shore up my historical knowledge of the period. There's been some religious threads coming up here and there in the pre-1900 section and some of the discussion has...

This does not necessarily mean survive to the modern day, but simply that a remnant of the Majapahit Empire- a large Hindu empire in OTL Indonesia, survives. It can be in a rump form (hopefully outside of Bali) or it can simply wane. I'm interested, I hadn't heard of it before but I read...

I'm not a scholar on Islamic history but for my TL I realize I need to know a lot more about it. I'm familiar with the Sunni-Shi'a "schism" if you want to call it that, and I realize it started off as more of a difference in political recognition of the line of Caliphs then real dogmatic...

Hey, Not really new here but new to posting (sort of). Been a casual lurker for a few years and I posted awhile back under two different accounts but decided to just go with my name. The short version is I like writing and was thinking about writing in an AH-inspired world. I'll probably...
