They weren't intending to go that far - only to the Tocharians/Yue Zhi which according to the map I'm using as an aid for this story aren't that far northwest of the Yellow River. I'm covering the actual events of the Journey West and why it went so much further West in a later post.

A Eurasian Tale Part 1: The Manifold Paths of Heaven The 4th Century BCE was a tumultuous one in China – where once the Zhou dynasty had provided a central authority ruling under the divine mandate of heaven, it seemed it had fallen out of favour. Former vassals now styled themselves as...

Was the only major mistake I saw in this post. Otherwise, very good. The development of Flex Kavana and the Hart Foundation in general is interesting, and I hope there's a glimpse at how the Kliq vs. Hogan backstage politicking in WCW goes.

Heh, I love how the shoe's gone onto the other foot so completely, but... "Western Screwjob" is a bit bland. Can't you name it after a city? Perhaps to complete the absolute reversal, put it in a Texan City, and have the Harts and McMahon soundly booed whenever the WWE goes to the Lone Star...

Oh yes, I should've mentioned the PODs that have taken place so far: 1: A greater and earlier move towards extending Roman Citizenship to the rest of Italy 2: Marius doesn't immediately try to seize power whilst Sulla and his 5 legions are in Italy, and waits a few years to consolidate a power...

It would be *possible*, but considering the lucrative Silk Road trade, I can't see them *not* following that into the Middle East, passing it up to instead hike across the Russian Steppes.

Obligatory pre-TL note: This is my first TL, concocted after roughly a year spent lurking this site - I urge those reading this TL not to be gentle or considerate of my feelings, but to tear me apart if I make a mistake, so that I learn and improve from thereon. ;) I'll be using the AD/BC...

I don't know about "highly underused" since I haven't been on these boards for that long, but a couple of TLs I haven't seen any/enough high quality versions of that I really would: Surviving Roman Republic Attalus III does not bequeath Pergamon to Rome/Attalids hold on to power and expand...

Churchill in India. XD Oh boy, this can't end well at all. It might end hilariously, but not well.

Ooh, interesting - Grecian Britain? And trading posts across the Dneiper (or is it Dneister?)?

Glad to see this timeline starting up again. This concept of a Disunited America and the varying takes individual states have on republicanism is very intriguing.

I recall seeing one timeline on the subject - IchBinDieKaiser's America The Fallen, which might help. It's a very interesting subject, though I don't know anywhere near enough early US history to be much help, I'm afraid.

Those poor Romans. XD But I'm loving the thought of Magna Graecia and Massalia not just surviving but thriving, and Hellenizing Italy and southern France. Can't wait to see what's going on in the rest of the Mediterranean.

That was a dastardly cliffhanger. Great TL so far, keep it up!

This was hilarious. Good timeline so far, and the Second Great War should be very interesting.

Attlee's 1945-1951 government was pretty much socialist - nationalising something like 80% of Britain's steel and coal industry, establishing a system of universal healthcare, etc.

Very interesting. Wrestling timelines are a nice rarity on the board. Though I only really started watching from the Two-Man Power Trip onwards, so I can't really provide any meaningful commentary on the fic, it has been subscribed. :)

Great TL - a nice one on the Taiping Rebellion is hard to find anywhere, and though I must confess ignorance on the subject, you certainly seem to know what you're talking about when you write. I particularly enjoyed the segment with 小王/Little Wang in your latest post, and am eagerly awaiting...

How are UK relations with the Republic of New England? With Anglo-American relations presumably cooling as a result of this new faux pas, and King Alfred getting pally with Emperor Norton, I can see plans being made for another war in North America, British Empire/RNE/California vs...

Well, I've just gotten up to date with this, and registered just to tell you how much I've enjoyed reading this Timeline thus far - the evolution of the Shawnee-Sioux confederation, for instance, or the wacky adventures of King Alfred. One question, though: In Napoleon III's Paris Treatise...
