    AHQ: Stable succession system in Byzantium

    Personally, I think the 'Byzantine succession system being uniquely unstable' idea is rather exaggerated, and I would bet is one of those Enlightenment-era ideas (my instinct is to blame Gibbon) cooked up to make Byzantium look bad. However when you compare it to its contemporaries in both east...

    If not Russia what would have been the most likely state to have been the first to turn communist?

    Given that much of the southern United States was literally at slavery and feudalism stage during the 19th and 20th centuries, why on earth did Marx imagine they'd willingly jump to Communism ?
  4. AHQ: Stable succession system in Byzantium

    Pretty much they house capet died off but the other noble houses still viewed themselves as capet unlike in the ERE by the middle ages not any strong man could become king of france and yeah we had this conversation before I fully support the idea with long term dynasty the the Byzantines cna...

    WI: Edward VI was killed by Thomas Seymour?

    Somerset probably tries to save his reputation by condemning his brother and fails, the Seymours earn a reputation probably even less glowing than the Boleyns have retrospectively as a family of luckless people. Mary marries Philip before 1550, maybe has one or two actual pregnancies, which...

    For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    Loved the unexpected ending of episode 9! Another Lennon news report? Sigh... Why can’t we hear from other celebrities or at least some other news report on how Sadat or any other historical figure are doing? (Eh, well, at least we are hearing more about Panama getting cozy with the Soviets.)...

    WI: The Dutch East India Company reaches Korea, and at the same time, the Netherlands, which owns the VOC, immediately colonises the Korean Peninsula

    See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Netherlands So, in this pre-1900 what if (WI) history thread, the Dutch East India Company (Dutch: Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie or VOC) was looking for areas within the so-called Indo-Pacific to conquer just to resist its low-lying...
  9. East first! Europe after a German / CP victory in 1916

    Fear of Sweden joining Germany against Russia promoted by ambigious reports from Sweden by own diplomats as well as other sources. The most comprehensive research into this topic I found here by an - as it seems - in Sweden rather deemed naval officer and author. If someone has a better source...

    WI: Tiberius survives

    It was reported by Tacitus that Tiberius's death came, after a bout of unconsciousness, in the form of being smothered with cloth by Macro, the prefect of the Guard. Cassius Dio in addition states that Caligula was complicit in this act. What if this attempt on his life failed? I assume that...

    What if Margaret Beaufort was born a boy?

    What if he was married to one of the York girls? If, say, Elizabeth of York and he married (maybe at the behest of Henry VI?) sometime pre-Yorkist victory, and he's left in an awkward limbo where he's technically a Lancastrian claimant, but been pretty loyal to the York side?

  16. Chinese pulls a Russia, conquerors the eurasian steppe

    I think that like with the Russians, it would have to be after the Mongol conquests. Perhaps Kublai (or ATL equivalent) can inherit a Khanate extending a little further west. That doesn't necessarily translate to the Yuan dynasty conquering the steppe, but it might make it more likely for the...

    AHQ: Stable succession system in Byzantium

    The Empire operated on the principle of the Senate and People of Rome which was interpreted as the will of the army. There's no way any sort of army leader would bow to the whims of the Senate when he could march his army to the Imperial city depose them and rule as sole Emperor. The Emperor...
