  1. AHC: Make France and England kingdoms like Bohemia in the HRE by the year 1100?

    Essentially, France and England are kingdoms with the same rights and privileges as the Kingdom of Bohemia (being Electors possibly included) as part of a larger HRE. What sort of PoD would be needed to accomplish this? How would relations between the two rivals on the English channel develop...

  2. If Pedro II's sons survive until adulthood, does the Empire of Brazil survive?

    From my understanding, the 1889 coup was the result of Pedro's daughter not being seen as an acceptable heir by neither her Father nor the General Assembly, which emboldened the Republicans to overthrow the monarchy. If Pedro's sons did not die in childhood, live long enough to marry for...

  3. What are potential effects of a surviving Byzantium on Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation?

  6. AHC: avoid the Sack of Constantinople in 1204

    The most obvious way to achieve this would be to not have Alexios Angelos to approach the Crusader army to place Issac II back on throne. Even more ideal however, would be the Angeloi never coming to power, whether that be by Andronikos Komenos being less tyrannical, or by putting John Komenos...

  7. WI the Byzantine Army switches from manpower to fortifications?

    The system of fortifications such as castles and fortresses emerged in Western Europe during the division of the Carolington Empire. Because of this system, the significance of decisive battles was greatly hampered since, even if an invader massacred large portions of a defending force, they...

  8. What happens if Germany wins at Stalingrad?

    What would the ramifications be if the Germans successfully took Stalingrad? Would they be able to take the Caucusus or would their lines be over extended to the point of easily being cut by the Red Army? How would this effect the war effort on both sides? Ignore how they do it, just assume...
