Who said it ever fell? Vatican City and Catholic Church still here! I voted 1453, but I would have gone for 1917 with Tsarism. The entire WRE didn't fall in 476, and the Byzantine Empire was the other Roman Empire. Considering that the Byzantine Empire was Greek after Justinian, 1973 with the...

Bad crops in Fance force more to the New World, and more go to Louisiana to trap furs, inter marrying and converting the natives. Not so many people that France wishes to keep it, but that a large proportion of natives are half-white, and a larger part Christian. As for the Métis or Mestizos...

Potentially till today, unless Turks, Mesopotamian Nestorians or Orthodox Romans takeover, if you choose to kill or curb Islam. And considering the Safavids were Muslims, and Persia was already Zoroastrian, why would they do that?

My great-great-great-great-great-grandfather was the Receveur-General (highest tax collector, in turn richest person in province) of Poiters, so I vote for my noble ancestry (who also may have originated from Lorraine). Vive France! Also, should we not also ask to whom Koniningsberg Oblast...

I know alternate Constantinoples have been discussed before, but I think these two have the same benefits. As islands, they are protected from invasion, and aren't quite as developed as other cities, making it a blank slate, plus they are both in the middle of the empire, and the center of...

No one knows of the existance of Old King Cole but for some extreme 40 year old British pseudo-historians.

Rat... I'd think I have beef. Speaking of foods, meat makes like 60% of my diet and I haven't eaten fruit in more than a year :eek: Well, to put it simply, and possibly affected by my Catholic background, things don't happen because nothing. For your last part, they still made up most of the...

The memory of WW1 was entrenched in 1939... the memory of WW2 was fresh in 1950, and the memory of Vietnam was alive in 2003... Pacifism always loses against peoples personal wants. Although I do agree: trench warfare is very interesting, if not the most, and the experiences of my American...

May I suggest this? Khosrau II Executes Mohammed

In the US, slavery remained legal right up to the Emancipation Proclamation, and de jure speaking, right up until the Confederacy surrendered or you were occupied, not counting slavery among the Plains tribes. Without the civil war, how long can it last?

Ottomans were Turks, not Greeks. Rome is not Heir of Rome (WRE vs Russia, for example)

After reading 1491 and some other books, lurking 4chan (please don't judge me!), playing through my Steam library until I felt good about my in-game accomplishments (including using CK2 console cheats and ruler designer to create a very evil Israel at perpetual war with the cheat-strong...

Not much to contribute, but I think that the consensus is that Polynesians did land in South America, just waiting for sure-fire archaeological proof.

Punic-speaker were still around in the 500s, methinks. Ethnically, Persians are the same as they were 1500 years ago. Also, what anout the Republic of Lakotah for the Sioux? Except, that is based in South Dakota and not the Sioux homeland of Minnesota...

The genie grants your wish. Merci, the way I learned it that you could build a ship, sail it across the world and completely repair/restore it with the splinters. Atleast here in America the Catholic churches can't claim to have one without looking like the-Holy-Grail-is-in-Arizona...

Subscribed. Non-Christian religions in the Americas are always interesting.

OTL, the Soviets captured most of the rocket production facilities in Germany, but Wernher bon Braun, with his crew and documents, surrendered to the US. Let's say for one reason or another that he surrenders instead to the Soviet Union. How might this affect space exploration? Will the US ever...

Personally, I find I absolute salivate over indigenous, prehistoric (Lands of Red & Gold, etc) and everything to 700, then it drops down until Louis XIV, drops again until Napoleon, then stays down until the Cold War unless it is a relatively small POD (see the Spanish-Moroccan War in 2002)...

IMO the Tawantinsuyu are underrated; without the civil war they are almost certain to win. The worst of the smallpox had passed, they had numerical and local and supply advantages vs the Spaniards, they readily attempted, and in the case of the horse succeeded, to adopt Western technology even...

1.) Probably a mix, IMO. 2.) Honestly, I don't have an answer, but my guess would be they could deal with it. 3.) Sure:D:eek:, it's not like you haven't already. Well, actually, closer to fappable material then actual porn. You know what I mean. Of course, I haven't fapped to this thread when...
