A novel by French chef Ken DeLozier on the difficulties of making a stew. Atlantik'in Diğer Yanında (The Other Side of the Atlantic)

A musical composition written by an anonymous citizen of Paris on his deathbed in 1958, he apparently had a plain life, no regrets and found his eminent end untroubling. He claims in a footnote that one's life determines the circumstances of his death; just as Napoleon's proud life ended proudly...

I get that they shelled it because of the powder stockpile, but it was also a shelter for civilians and a monumentally important historical landmark. If we were to add Christian place of worship to that list, I feel it may have some impact on the decision to attack it.

A painting of a California beach after a Japanese nuclear bomb detonated over San Francisco in 2079. The "shadows" of palm trees and seabirds are left behind on the ground with debris from the city sitting in various places on the beach and in the water. A school of dead fish and two dolphins...

The Ottomans, if I understand correctly, didn't normally do that sort of thing(during this point in history), barring Constantinople. They were arguably the most culturally tolerant power in Europe. The leading suggestion for why it was done was as punishment after the Ottomans discovered plans...

Some Portugese explorers find Antarctica, what happens next?

Make the Russian colonies in Northwestern America last as long as you can think plausible, make sure to go through relations with other countries as they do this.

I was a bit confused on where it would go. I had meant that the PoD could be anywhere in history, but the time period Indonesia (or a country with another name, the center just needs to be somewhere in present day Indonesia) had to be a superpower during was after 1900, so I assumed it would...

Title explains it well enough.

Get Indonesia to be a country that competes with the likes of Russia and U.S. by 1950-1980. PoD can be anywhere.

Somehow make Indonesia a country that can compete with the likes of Russia and U.S. by the 1950-1980. PoD can be anywhere.

I'm not, I was just saying that there weren't any restrictions as to when PODs could happen.

Hello there. This thread is asking for answers, and then discussion, about what would have had to occur to make Native Americans able to discover and invade the Old World (successfully). What I would assume what held the Aztecs and Incas (the natives that didn't revere nature like North American...
