  1. A question for Byzantine experts

    Anatolia didn't get totaly wrecked by the Slavs in the late 6th and early 7th century. Without the Slavs making any major incursions south of Sava-Danube line Dalmatia would also play a very important part since that would the most Roman part of the Eastern Roman Empire.

  7. AH Challenge: Empire of Croatia

    There is also the option of not having Croats migrate to the Adriatic and continue to build their state centred around Cracow in Poland. IOTL there was a Croatian state in the north up until the 10th centruy along with the one on the Adriatic.
  8. AH Challenge: Empire of Croatia

    Well there were several point in time when that could have happened. The earliest is to have Borna defeat and kill Ljudevit at fords of Kupa(819.) ending the rebellion. For his troubles he could have recieved lower pannonia to his rule. After all Borna went from "dux Guduscorum" (tribe living...

  11. 'A Liberal German Empire? Not While I'm King of Prussia!' - an 1848 TL.

    If we follow the line of thought about Croatia-Slavonia and about Croats developing as faux-Germans there is little hope of Serbia and Bosna-Hercegovina joining into any kind of state. With Croats content in their union with the Magyars they would look outwards to their broothers across the...

  13. 'A Liberal German Empire? Not While I'm King of Prussia!' - an 1848 TL.

    There is a way for the Germans to slightly defuse the situation with the Croats and get them into their camp. Paralel to the Illirian and Slavic feelings there was another undercurent in the Croatian society. The Germanic one. These feelings were not really widespread and would only come to the...

    Personaly this would be something that could be named as "the major war of Spanish succession".
  17. 'A Liberal German Empire? Not While I'm King of Prussia!' - an 1848 TL.

    Situation between Croats and Hungarians as well as Croatian feeling were very different in 1848 to those in 1868, twenty years later. The Hungarian-Croat annimostiy was escalating even prior to the 1848 uprising. The gathering of Hungarian Kingdom diet in November started among other things...
  18. 'A Liberal German Empire? Not While I'm King of Prussia!' - an 1848 TL.

    Considerin Hungarian ideology and agenda of that time an occupied Croatia would be a source of perpetual unrest that could be exploited by the enemies of Hungary. The Hungarians have basicaly deined the existance of Croatian people. The Croats and outher south slavs were in a middle of a...
