After success in the Spanish Inquisition rooting out heretics, Tomas de Torquemada was sent by the Pontifex to the Papal territory of Terra Mariana to flush out suspected JEws and followers of the Greek Rite. After his dictatorial attitude incensed locals (and as modern research shows, the...

Yep, that's the one! To be fair, seeing as there's entries such as I didn't think much of using Forge Saint of the Rust Cultists, but I''ll attempt to avoid future entries that aren't really events. A mutual defense pact signed in 1946 between the United States and the newly independent...

Kant's fourth and final major philosophical treatise, the Critique of Pure Emotion, was a work divided into two parts: the first third consists of a sweeping argument against the attacks on his earlier works by the followers of Christian Wolff; the remining two thirds are an attempt to the probe...

Arguably the Tang under Gaozong came close after defeating the Western Goturks, but of course with Eighth Century level technology, they could only hold for about a decade before withdrawing; Talas in 751 pretty much put the final nail in that coffin.

The Austro-Russian Wars The Austro-Russian Wars (1739-1917) is a historiographic term used to describe a series of seven conflicts between the Habsburg Monarchy and the Russian Empire. In order, the conflicts are the following: First Austro-Russian War (1732-1735): Conflict broke between the...

While it doesn't meet the requirements of the challenge, it should be noted with the exception of 45, every POTUS has been a descendent of King John. https://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/how-all-presidents-are-related-to-king-john/72351

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...

During the Great Peasants Rebellion of 1381-83, London was occupied by an army of angry peasants led by John Wrare. On the way to London, Wrare quickly earned the nickname "Torchwood" due his men's habit of burning every manor and keep possible. King Richard II and the royal court fled the...

Steamboat diplomacy was the term used to describe foreign relations between the fledging United States and the Kingdom of Louisiana after the French Royal family fled to the colony during the early stages of the French Revolution. Though reluctant to accept the presence of a monarchy on their...

To what extent would a German Empire with the 1848 constitution ala @HeX 's AMPU count as a continuation of the HRE?

Perhaps over time the monarchs will hold more of a ceremonial role, devolving power and control of the state to the General Assembly; this could be sudden, like Post-war Japan, or gradual, like the United Kingdom.

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...

Personally, I thought the most interesting idea was how a surviving ERE influences the Protestant Reformation, so I made a separate thread for that...

Inspired by Alternate History Hub's new video ( , thread on the video in general here- https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/thoughts-on-alternative-history-hubs-new-video.495651), how would a Byzantine Empire with pre-Manzikert borders influence the Protestant Reformation? Martin...

Although nothing has been said about the spoils system, it'd be interesting to have a timeline where Garfield isn't killed less then four months into his presidency by the deranged Guiteau, although I suppose the Curse of Tippecanoe could still strike.

So essentially you go with the theory that Romanians are the descendants of Roman colonists in former Dacia? Do they have admixture with the native Dacian population? Also out of curiosity, what is going on with the Albanians? 1284 is the very first time that Albanian is attested to in a court...

My personal belief is that whether or no Christianity had a presence in the Empire, it was doomed to fail anyway. I have 4 chief reasons for this view. 1. Rome was already a house of cards due to being unable to figure out the issue of imperial succession. This was a carry over from the...

Inspired by my playing Ghost of Tsushima, what if August 15, 1281, is a bright, sunny day, and the Mongol fleet is still intact for the invasion? From my reading of the events of second invasion.... the Mongols really had no chance. The Japanese had the advantage of being defenders on an...

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...
