  3. (Historical) Border Gore Monstrosities We Would Have Liked To See

    This is Alfonso X of Castile This is Alfonso's kingdom This is the land he claimed according to a treaty with the Muslim king of Niebla This is the land the Portuguese later claimed was part of the same, but on the other side of the sea This is the land Alfonso claimed belonged to his wife...
  4. On the adoption of horses by certain Native American peoples in both North and South America

    I question that the horses escaped and then native peoples never exposed to riders decided to randomly horse break and breed an animal that would have been simply wild and also alien from their perspective.
  5. Non-parallelisms in TL 191

    The last book mentions the commies doing suicide bombings in the 1940s and generally being a pain on the ass for the Russians in the home front.
  6. WI - Orthodox Christian equivalent of the Protestant Reformation

    Peter the Great? The Old Believers call him 'The Shaver of Christians' and hate him more than anyone.
  7. WI: Returning Crusaders popularize Islamic hygiene in Europe

    Medieval Europeans bathed. This stereotype that they didn't, like many other dumb Medievals stereotypes, actually belongs to the Modern Age when bathing was condemned due to a mix of religious zealotry, STDs and the emerging perfume industry.
  8. WI: Khwarezm allies with the Mongols

    GK stays out of Turkestan and focuses on China. Jin, maybe Song fall earlier. Allying with Khwarazm is less of an alliance and more of a "don't try anything stupid, we may visit you still in the future". Gunpowder goes west later, Abbasids survive longer, castles spread later in Eastern Europe...
  9. Name of a Portuguese South Africa?

    They used native names in Angola and Mozambique so I don't necessarily see them creating one.
  10. Foreign realations of an Independent Kalmykia

    Small second Kazakhstan.
  11. AHC: Paraguayan War

    They allied because Paraguay attacked them, not the other way around. In fact Brazil and Argentina were historically rivals (and continued to be after the war).
  12. AHC: Paraguayan War

    DoW Argentina, don't DoW Brazil. Don't make your goal of invading Uruguay transparent until you've concluded peace with Argentina.
  13. Turkey declares war on allies 1941

    The point is that the Turks don't want the rest back. The Germans actually offered them an occupation zone in Greece that would have effectively restored the 1914 Ottoman border in Thrace in OTL and they refused. The UK would have to be on the verge of defeat and even then the Turks would...
  14. Alternate invasive/introduced species

    Incidentally, one of the most successful examples of PRW is the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. Which is notable because it was completely involuntary. They later introduced wisent and Przewalski horse in the 90s so the place just needs the aurochs to be back in the early Holocene. Saw once a crazy...
  15. Alternate invasive/introduced species

    The 30s were a stupid crazy time: https://nettarkiv.npolar.no/sorpolen2011.npolar.no/en/did-you-know/2011-12-05-penguins-used-to-live-in-lofoten.html Yeah, but in Labrador it's not a reintroduction because they never lived there as far as anyone knows. Incidentally they also tried introducing...
  16. Alternate invasive/introduced species

    They kinda sorta very distantly did like this when they introduced the muskox in Labrador (perfectly suited but never lived there because geography). Coyotes would take over the dominant predator spot in the UK and cull the foxes in 0.0. The main reason foxes and badgers are as commonly seen...
  17. Alternate invasive/introduced species

    They tried Antarctic penguins in Norway. Didn't work.
  18. Would a victorious CSA be in the Entente or CP?

    tl;dr The French win in Mexico so Nap II doesn't need to go to war with Prussia to save face.
  19. AHC: Save an incompetent or unlucky ruler

    The only feasible scenario is Max not accepting the offered Mexican throne, as any sensible person did at the time, and just mind his business for a few years until he is offered an European throne where he would be king and not a French viceroy *cough*Spain*cough*Hungary*cough any Balkan...
