I would argue given how reproduction works, and in this case how far back the PoD is, there is no legitimate reason that someone that exists in OTL would still exist. At best you would get a names-the-same ATL sibling. We get it, you don't write timelines this way. But could you stop bringing...

Think you may have been thinking of another thread when you posted this. Bolded for emphasis.

Hey, I posted a comment a page or two back on a new angle for the discussion we were having on Polish immigrants to Texas. While you felt a West Virginia scenario was a no go, how realistic would it be with a more sizeable Polish/German community that they lobby Congress to split Texas into more...

Would only work if Leo was Leo VII.

I have seen pictures of the old Armenian city of Ani that are beautiful and yet hauntingly depressing. I would love to see this city survive, and maybe continue to be a part of Armenia.

So, in some ways he will become like the "Queen Victoria" of Greece and being hands-off enough that the democratic traditions of the country can really establish themselves?

I don't know, it could have started out as a religion aiming at the lower rungs of he social ladder first. It would have likely been seen as a threat for doing this and been persecuted for it, several other religions over the Roman Empire's run suffered this at one point or another (like...

And we haven't reached the Age of Nationalism yet, still about 75 years to a century out. You might reach a point where German nationalists want Austria to let loose Bohemia and Hungary because they want the core lands of the German people to be solidified. It may create an interesting situation...

Okay, that is true. Maybe the Shepard of Hermas becomes canonical instead.

But, that makes no sense because from an historical standpoint it was about the Roman Empire and Nero. In general and specifically now both have little relevance to Christianity antagonistically .

With a less antagonistic set of emperors and Rome in general Book of Revelation is never written or at least never goes mainstream.

I know this is a Corsican timeline first and foremost, but it would be interesting if a different German state than Prussia may rise-up through the various wars and become the new rival of Austria. Or at this point is the middle of the 18 century too late for such a thing?

Admittedly something I was thinking of, given my want to play a game in Imperator, is what would result from a big Celtic Empire in North-Western Europe and what would happen after it collapsed due to trial migration. You would get some Gallic-Frankish mix (essentially French but with Celtic...

I know from what I have read about attempts in the 1980s for Southern New Jersey to breakaway and form its own state that Congress would have to approve of such a thing. Normally, the state legislature would too, but if this breaking-up-Texas idea was put forward before Texas was readmitted into...

Honestly, the most interesting thing I see here is that Jesus having siblings is a known and accepted thing.

So, going back to conversation we had on page 93 about more Polish immigrants to the US, especially into Texas, effecting TTL's Civil War, there were apparently talks throughout history, and including after the Civil War, of dividing Texas. It could easily be divided into 2 - 4 states. Perhaps...

I figured that that would be the best thing for Corsica in the long-term, neutrality established by treaty and guaranteed by one of the great powers, like Switzerland or Belgium. Though, unlike Belgium, it is much hard geographically to violate that neutrality. Given how this chapter ends I...

I literally just spent the last 3 - 4 hours watching a lot of this guys videos. I mean this both gratefully and sarcastically when I say thank you.

I thought we all said we were dropping this stupid butterfly argument because it is clearly clogging up the thread from more relevant discussion. (It may be an Amadeus but it wouldn't be OTL's Amadeus)

Good to see you back Carp!
