So to sum up what I just posted, you have two options out of Jadwiga being male. A continued Polish-Hungarian union, or Sigismund using Mary to but into the succession and leading to a Bohemian-Polish union. I might put the money on the ALT son getting the Polish throne. The Poles would...

Wouldn't she probably inherit both Poland and Hungary earlier? Correct me if I'm wrong, but she was the daughter of Louis I of Hungary and Poland. In OTL the realms were divided between his two daughters (Jadwiga and Mary). In this timeline, this ALT son would stand a chance of inheriting all...

That was fascinatingly informative. I hope you or someone does something with this.

Yah, and many of them correspond somewhat to European countries. Ferelden, for example, is a heavily based upon Anglo-Saxon England. Orlais is of coursed based upon France, but is a bit more Imperial and is ruled by a woman. It is also the seat of the Chantry (the Church), whose Pope expy is...

Was the second map one I made for this timeline?

Actually, I think I'm going to have to disagree with you there about the Romans. Sure the Romans were not the nicest guys (not by a long shot) but I actually don't think they were as hated as the Triple Alliance was. With the exception of the Sassanians who really did not like the Romans...

I'm pretty sure the Muslisms in Spain, at least for a while, were famous for their drinking.

The British acted against Dutch colonies during the Napoleonic Wars to deny Napoleon access to them. South Africa, the campaigns in the Eastern Med (actually having nothing to do with the Dutch), and the seizure of major ports in the Dutch East Indies was all about protecting the British...

How did Napoleon make it to the Pacific?

Nope!:D Well, only partly nope.:p I would say argue that there is still a very good chance that a religion called Christianity could shoot out of Judaism anyway, even with Alexander going strong. Since Christ just means annointed, and is a translation of Messiah (meaning the same thing)...

Not according to my profs its not. BUT, I am actually making a mistake in my criticism and your right. I was thinking of Soviet historical scholarship, and your right that that isn't Marxism.

I both agree and disagree with you. The bolded part is where I disagree, in only that Jesus being accepted as a Messiah would undoubtedly change how Jews view the whole idea of Messiah. We have to keep in mind that during the 1st centuries BCE and CE, we are not really dealing with one...

That is because Marxist theory of History relies on the inevitability of the revolution within the history of man. It also relies quite heavily on the idea of progressiveness within history (the idea that History is moving towards something [that something in this case being a world wide...

Why? Ontario and Quebec alone are more populous than quite a number of American states (or at least today they are). Maritimes I'll give you.

I have trouble explaining it myself, but no, they weren't too close to Orthodox (who are far closer to Catholicism). The difference in beliefs stems from their Christological viewpoint, which to a non believer can seem very ... fine point-ish. Early Christianity had a lot of vocal arguments...

Yah, there is even a rather popular POD that pops up every now and again here on this site. There were Nestorians in the court of Ghengis Khan, though he wasn't one, and the POD deals exactly with that. What if Ghengis Khan was a (fervent) Nestorian.

There were and are ancient Christian communities in India, though I'm not sure if that is what you are referring to. One of our members, Flocculencio, is a guy living in Singapore whose family is an Indian Christian family. You might want to ask him. Also, look up the Saint Thomas Christians...

Maybe for a point of contention, we could just say that that there really isn't an agreement about it and link to a thread arguing it? It couldn't stop the FAQ from providing some other useful information about the question. But really, I am all for ideas. My main concern about this FAQ was...

I wouldn't want that to be the point of the FAQ. The point of it wouldn't be to be the be all and end all of the discussion, but hopefully more of a primer for discussion, along with making clear a number of points that are always put forward. Links to ongoing threads is a good idea (even to...

I agree that the questions can be extremely vague, and that does make it difficult. But I feel because of the vagueness of the common questions, a lot of answers get retread quite often, and even some stereotypes get pulled out of the hat (such as "Britain colonizing somewhere in New World is...
