That's lame for Alternate History (easy way out), but fair enough.

While it is true Yathrib is the minimal amount, that is probably unrealistic. Supposing the Byzantine and Persian forces had defeated the Muslims, the minimum expansion would be Arabia, except for Yemen and Oman (which were parts of Persia), and perhaps a small portion of the East African coast.

??? Plenty of non-Italian popes before 1500, including Egyptian and Greek ones. However, non-European/Hellenised is a different story. If there was a Latin American Pope, he'd be white.

About as realistic as Montenegro conquering all of Europe and declaring war on China.

What are the chances of vehicles as we have them being invented, with PODs set significant amounts of times before their invention (50 years+)? For example, if you have an ATL where say, Byzantium survives, or where Russia never unifies, will you still get cars in the modern day? Will you...

That's what I wanted, though I'm not looking for an ATL where Teutons survive, I'm just interested in what their uniform would be had they done so, assuming everything else in the world goes roughly similar (as in, industrialisation still happens etc). They would have to remain Catholic.

F.Y.I white, or whatever you want to call it is a real race, unless you're completely blind. Europeans all share common haplogroups and genetics so they are grouped as a distinguishable race, much as Blacks, Australoids and East Asians. Also, diversity doesn't mean white minority. 30% white...

This is what I want, except in other countries.

What if the Persians and Mohammedans had allied, or truced? Would the Mohammedans have been able to conquer Byzantium?

As you know, the green is the current extent of the Mohammedan religion, and the yellow was the maximum extent of the Rashidun Caliphate. However, I have coloured areas I am interested in orange - is it possible for the Caliphate to take that over?

The second one is the realistic one :) The other two are both deliberately wank/ASB material.

If the Byzantines simply maintained control of Greece and/or took back control of Anatolia, then Greece today would just be expanded.

Why would they conquer Georgia, their historic ally?

Only if they had Egypt. Otherwise they have no entrance into the Indian Ocean, and the Catholic Spanish won't let them through.

Possible maps Byzantine-wank: More likely/less ASB version Abysmal map of modern day Byzantium (essentially an Ottoman and Bulgarian wank):

What if at the battle of Al-Qadisiyyah the Rashidun Caliphate had managed to defeat the Sassanids, and the Caliph hadn't been killed? Would the Mohammedans have been able to destroy Persia? Would The Byzantines have continued warring against the Persians, or would they still have realised the...

Is there a way to keep the Chinese, at least to some extent, keeping traditional appearances as throughout history? Things change, but never so greatly - now everyone in the world wears jeans, tops with writing on etc. I'm asking how can we keep Chinese people dressing like this...

Your challenge is to make it so the Black Death kills no more than 10% of the European population, if it even arrives at all. Bonus points if you can prevent the Black Death from having any real chance in Europe at all (like in Poland)

Is this hard or something?

Having an African nation as a superpower is ASB, unless you mean with a European government/African puppet-government.
