  6. Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    Y'know what the more I look into the dynamics of it the more I'm like of course it would, you're right. Like I did some digging and ended up talking myself round to Moonlight perspective. That was the whole point of shuubiya, that Arabic became inextricably part of what it meant to be andalusi...
  7. How does the situation in Israel/Palestine play out with no WW2/Holocaust?

    Because Europe was not a good place to live in, even before the war. Every country east of France was an anti-Semitic dictatorship, and even France wasn't that good in that regard.. Without the war you don't have anti-Semitism discredited and Jews will want to move to a country of their own.

  12. Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    Persian was a language of a major civilization and still its fate was far from certain I think. Mozarabic as a low prestige language has much lower chances of survival - IOTL Latin was used for most writing well into Late Middle Ages and in certain areas (science) was not replaced until much later.
  13. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    He is well documented and has credible sources, you might wanna take a look. I'm not saying to stockpile oil forever, just for 3 or 4 years, then use some of it, replenish and repeat. There is no time, money or resources to build a significant surface fleet, after France and Soviet Union are...
