I dislike the fact that the clones suffered about 30 casualtites throughout the movie, and in the series the clone-to-drone death ratio is like 1:400:eek: That really buggers me.

Polynesians is almost certainly confirmed linguistically, genetically and archaeologically. Saint Brendan as in it was very possible, even if the story isn't true someone other Irishman may have discovered it (they were in the eastern North Atlantic and Iceland before the Norse). Stone...

Basically, they took the younger children of nobility, mainly seigneurs, gave them large tracts up and down the Lawrence, and expected the Company of New France to bring in settlers to populate the tradts. The thing was a majority were unmarried males and only people without a history of...

The Maya had fended off the Spanish until 1697 and almost won, continuing a slowly losing stalemate into 1902 followed by insurgency till 1933; they were experts there as much as any other. The Americans would speed up the conquest greatly, but not without trouble as the only other place they...

If counted, native Polynesian monarchies, i.e. Hawaii and Easter Island (check my sig!) could survive with some luck. A Mexican victory that blocks US access to the Pacific could help. You also have native tribes, but unless Britain beats the US in 1814 thats not happening. Quebecoise...

A way earlier independence would help. If the people kept all that gold... France would own Spain to the Ebro, the Ottomans might as well have bagged Vienna, Dutch would be free... and today Pedro would have Pepsi swimming pool with robotic floating coolers

Still, between 1860 and 2000 the opposite happened, so that counts ehh? Perhaps add the plague to the blight and the Irish emigrate even more. Eventually the English will have settlers come in to replace the Irish, and those aren't Catholics. On the other side of the Atlantic, both Canada and...

Natives will have a small victory in being able to sacrifice the eagle without permission.

Oh boy this is going to my sig Do you seriously think Islam is one giant secret conspiracy to destroy Rome? This is the hardest I've laughed since watching CNN on the CSS flag... so not so long ago?

Are the Europeans actually settling in their Columbian colonies? If so, are they forming their own societies like with the 13 colonies or mixing with the natives like Quebec? I'm quite interested in the Portuguese settlement who's name my 2 AM brain cannot remember. Also, how are the Danes...

Obligatory timeline-material thread plug Worth the read

In the 700s, a majority of the Byzantine Empire was either overrun or inhabited by Slavic speakers, including Greece, the heartland. Before this, the language of the emperor had changed from Latin to Greek (maybe later, if I am likely wrong). Your challenge is to change the language of the...

US and natives?

Becuase, Vive Québec! The South shall rise again! Never forget the Alamo! [Car bomb goes off in Northern Ireland] etc. When a region culture is different, people love to see it separate. And really, Vive Québec! Vive Acadia! Vive Cajun! Vive Maine! Vive la Nouvelle Français! Merde Ottawa!

Genuine interest - how many Abarahamic religions are there? I know the Mandaeans, that the Samaritans are considered by Israel not to be Jewish, and the Yazidis. Am I missing any, beyond the major three, plus the Bahai?

Geronimo never surrenders, and as many more Apache become renegade, these marauding bands of a few to over 50 remain separate political identities without citizenship of either Mexico or America, who's cattle they stole ranchers the killed as late as 1924. By the 1950s most would have been...

I don't suppose that they'll move St. Peter's Basilica with them to a nation that's almost entirely Protestant, and won't have a large minority until it unifies. In 1940 Germany was 1/3 Catholic. Interesting that 40.3% of Germans are Protestant today while 40.8% are Catholic. Solely becuase...

Muhammad is captured by Khosrau II and sent away, were he travels for years through central Asia into Siberia and crosses through the Aleutians, where he remains for the rest of his life, spreading Islam?

In twenty years it becomes another extreme fringe movement, if it wasn't already. With the rise of the Soviet Union and Stalin's Shady Dictatorship & Company, no American, let alone politician will be a CC. Plus, this will likely be shut down by the atheist Marxists, common businessmen, and...
