Rather then the stupidity which is affirmative action.

They were one of the first regions to develop agriculture, and indeed they advanced well beyond the primitive stage independantly- according to Wackypedia " Complex mulches, crop rotations and tillages were used in rotation on terraces with complex irrigation systems. Western agronomists still...

Is the Soviet Union really comparable to China though? I mean, surely its a mistake to assume it would parralel China...even closely. The base point the Soviet Union is starting from is far better off then China, for one. Besides that, the international market/domestic economic situation is not...

That map is a simultaneous combo of epic fail and epic win.

With a POD no earlier then 1938.

WOW. Just...wow. I really hope that isn't a subtle hint that the Dutch will sack the White City:(....or their records/texts. IIRC, the Spanish did that with the Mayan texts/records.

Cartoonified families with a stupid dad. OK, maybe not so much "King of the Hill".

It surprises me that the government would take such a clearly moral stance...I suppose I'm too cynical, but I can't help but wonder if they had an ulterior motive? And, as an AH scenario, what if they hadn't?

Did ripoffs like King of the Hill, Family Guy and American Dad exist by that point? If not, they might be avoided:D Also, it would be interesting to see what fills up the vacuum.

Oh....silly me:o Russian power projection in the Atlantic Ocean- ingenious:):D

I don't quite understand this- what would acquiring Bayonne achieve?After all, Russian ships would still need to go through the Danish straits to get there and back...

Speaking of the Barbary states... whats been happening in North Africa in this timeline? Has their been an equivalent of the Barbary War?.. and whats going on in Egypt, what with the lack of a French invasion?

In case the title doesn't make it obvious- assuming the scenario that Napoleons invasion of Russia prior to the war of the 6th Coalition was succesful(for simplicities sake, assume a decisive victory at Borodino rather then the pyrrhic one of OTL), what treaty terms would likely be agreed upon...

Interesting.... and it wouldn't surprise me if the Garrkimang end up being the target of assertions of an ancient Hebrew presence in Australia(much like "historical" revisionists made such claims about the Americas). After all, "chosen ones" granted a sacred plot of land:p... it would be cool of...

This is probably just a stupid thought, but could the Crimean/Ukranian area have been turned into a thriving agricultural center for the Ottomans(like it was in the Greek and Roman Eras)? Or had some fundamental environmental change taken place there?

Could it have done so? The asiest way might be for the Islamic Spaniards to maintain their position in Spain-but would that be enough for the Arab's to remain the supreme civilisation of Western Eurasia?

The problem with meteroric rises is that they tend to be accompanied by meteoric falls.

How many more updates until the nature of the West Autsralian aboriginal civilisations is explained? Not to say that your disease one wasn't epic:D:D:D Also, how affected will the northernmost and inner desert regions be by the time of European arrival? Will they be different in any...

I'm not sure whether its true or not(can't find any sources to back it up), but according to Wiki their was a second eel-farming tribe located on the Murray river IOTL(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Indigenous_Australians#Before_British_arrival) I assume, given the research you have...

Yeah, but this is a map of the Look to the West TL isn't it?
