  1. Burgundy survives the division, her goals from then on ?

    So they survived the division, their ruler survived the siege where he died ( too lazy to google, wiki or whatnot ). What is her prime enemy from then on; is it still France or she sticks to HRE states ? They would, with given time form Lotharingia again but the decision of that proportions...
  2. WI; Austrian Hapsburgs retain land of Burgundy

    The land in this case does not end up in the hands of Spanish empire but remains a part of austrian Hapsburgs. So, what would the wider picture look like? If the monarch is more sensible and didn't Duke of Alba'd the Dutch they remain somewhat pacified and stay as a part of the monarchy...
  3. Russia without Ivan the Terrible ?

    How would she look like? Since his rule is still very debatable about how good/bad in general it was what do you think? On one hand he did conquer Kazan and Astrakhan and curbed severely the power of traditional boyars, but on the other he instituted Oprichnina, started disastrous Livonian...
  4. Realistic shape of Carthage after she annexes Rome?

    This is not a WI Carthage won its wars with Rome, it is what shape would she had at the apex of her glory as an alternative mediterranean hegemon. So we have a state that has just annexed Rome, its center is on the coastline of North Africa, more trade oriented and less militaristic by...
  5. Any way of Ottomans successfully keeping Hungary ?

    So Suleiman the Magnificent conquers Hungary and decides that's as far as he or his heirs will succeed going north. What was necessary to keep it? Some sort of net of vast military fortifications and giving locals such rights or benefits no monarch of the time would give? Border with PLC...

  7. WI no Timur's slaughter fest over Persia ?

    He killed a great deal of persian population in his campaigns, some estimates from 50% up to 75% :eek:of entire population. Skull piramides (Isfahan) his soldiers used to make after the usual pillage are a bit infamous as well. And as wiki states the pre mongol levels of population were not...
  8. WI;19. century europian state xy bans/does not allow emigration to americas ?

    Let's say any country of 19th century Europe, but mostly Italy comes to mind. Was there any way for her to remedy the economic reasons behind it in the first place and political instabilities, but more importantly, what would be the consequences of closing the ports to potentional emigrants and...
  9. WI; Mongols defeat Mamluks and conquer/sack Egypt ?

    After conquest of Baghdad in 1258 let's say that they successfully take all Egypt as well, what long term would that have on the wider region? I presume another Il Khanate/Golden Horde successor type state would spring up, based in Cairo, but they would be no different than mamluk...
  10. Post civil war fascist Russia - behavior of her potentional leaders

    So the Whites have won the war. And people that are left in charge are not so sane:D, Wrengel and/or Vladimir Purishkevich with his supporters in the Black Hundreds ( even consider Ungern Von Sternberg ) . Ofc this means military dictatorship, revisionism, clero fascism and all that jazz but I'm...
