In islamic world, many traditions deal with Heraclius, emperor of Byzantium who ruled this country at the same time Muhammad lived and was considered as a prophet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heraclius#Islamic_view_of_the_Emperor Let's imagine that the religious tradition depicting him as an...

Greetings, gentlemen :) In OTL, Rome felt at the begining of our era, whereas China was a powerful empire in far east... But could have history happened in another way, with an united western world under the banner of a more resistant but isolated roman empire and a few chinese states...

Well, I've got to admit that I expected that kind of answer... Maybe changing something before 1900 would be better. I remember reading another member of this board saying that changing the nature of freemasonry, maybe mixing it with some kind of a collectivist vision of society, would help, but...

Greetings, gentlemen :) You see, I really enjoy conspiracy theories, eventhough I do not agree with what they carry or with their reality in our world. Nevertheless, I always thought that those stories including the Illuminati, occult forces and all that stuffs would be something fancy to build...

So, let's build a TL : what could be the POD of a different world where islam has a significant presence in Europe ? Eventhough that some people think islam could not be applicated to northern european populations, I believe that to find a way to convert those people would create a lot of...

Okay, guys, I've been wondering for a while how could Europe become islamic, in a way of another. I'm thinking about the cases of a few countries, like Egypt, that had muslims conquerors a long time before most of its population converted to islam. Could that be possible in Europe ? I'm dreaming...

I guess that a muslim victory at Tours ans Byzantium would help islam to spread across Europe... But aren't those two victories difficult to make possible in the same world ? That would mean a total victory of islam, I think that a few empires in history achieved all their goals this way.

Anyway, that is quite disappointing... I guess I could'nt get my muslim Germany this time ;) Nevertheless, a muslim Italy (Hail to the caliphate of Rum !) could also be interesting. Other opinions on this topic ? I'll give a cookie to the one who will find how to convert Germany and Britain to...

It reminds me "Years of rice and salt", maybe you know this book :p I liked it, but I actually thought that it was too much based on OTL to imagine other similar situations. Suche a shame ! The idea of the black plague is pretty interesting to me, but that signifies that most of the European...

Come on, guys ! As a frenchman , I'm dreaming about an islamic southern France, that would be fancy ! Was that impossible to make Occitania and Italia islamic controled states ? Even if most of the population convert later to islam, like in OTL Egypt, that would'nt be a problem... What if...

Hello, everyone :) I'm thinking for a while about a possible TL based on a successful conversion of Europe to islam during middle age ; nevertheless, a few question are related with it... For instance, is that ASB to imagine that at least Andalusia, France, Germany and maybe England and Ireland...

Pretty relevant to me :rolleyes: I think that history is sometimes impossible to imagine before it happens... I am a certain that a good POD could lead to an interesting timeline dealing with a fascist America. Something related with the first world war, for instance ? I admit that I am better...

Hi everyone :p I was thinking this morning about a possible victorious fascist american party taking power between the end of the first world war and 1940... Unfortunately, as a european, I think that my knowledge related with american history is not enough to built a TL. Nevertheless, is this...

This opinion seems to me very interesting, I didn't thought about the need that an industrial revolution in China could create for this country. I think that this condition is very important to conceive a chinese colonial empire : the most important problem could be after that related with this...

Actually, your opinion is very relevant to me : I already thought that Europe had colonies because the nations of this continent were looking for new ressources and to compete with each other... Let just say that China, for any reason (guess which one and get a cookie !) was desunited just like...

Holà, everyone ! I've been wondering for a while about a possible timeline dealing with China. Nevertheless, I have many questions to do that... My vision of a super china would be an industrialized country possessing overseas colonies, just like Europe in OTL. In my opinion, a possible POD to...

Thank you for your answers and your help :) Actually, I think that a great flue is the best way to destroy most of the civilization at that time. This solution seems the best to me for politics reasons after WWI : let's imagine that a large part of our world suffered of that flue and many...

Hi everyone :) My imagination was working when an idea came to my mind : what if our world knew a great catastrophe at the begining of the twentieth century, more precisely during the first world conflict of history ? I thought about something that would kill about 90 or 95% percent of world...

Hello everyone :) I always wondered how a world including Bonaparte's final victory would look like. For instance, let's say that the French emperor achieved his goal at creating a french-centered European empire after beating Britain and without having that greaaaaaat idea of Russian...

Hi, I am Glegg. You may have met me in other wacky ideas like "A Celtic soviet union ?" or "The biggest Confederacy ever". I'm here today to ask something that I've been thinking about for a while... I remember seeing an interesting map on the thread a few months agos : the main interest was an...
