True, but if one looks a bit deeper things get a lot less clear. The striking velocity of the round was 2,500 fps. That is literally point blank range, round straight out of the barrel less than 1,000 yards distant. At the probably combat distance of 15,000 yards the striking velocity will have...
At this point the Byzantines are the Morea and Constantinople.
As I recall there was a mamluk sultanate in Delhi which collapsed. The Mamluks were a classic warrior aristocracy and prone to a lot of the same pitfalls. As I recall they also had their own issues given the power structures...
On 1323, Dmitro Dedko would deny Boleslaw Yuri his own claims to the lands of Galicia Volhynia after the deaths of his own half-brothers, which would mean that the land of Galicia Volhynia or Halych-Volyn would remain independent against the Poles despite its weakened disposition it would...
And how many such movements did you have on the Anatolian side led by elites and Sufi shaikhs- I'd be willing to bet the numbers aren't particularly different.
Sure, if the critical mass needed for a revolt is achieved, it's generally local elites or people with religious charisma that end up...
Avoid any of the endless regencies that plagued the land, have a healthy and adult Baldwin IV with ties with one of the christian houses în the region (Cilian Armenia, Byzantine Empire). Avoid blatant expansionism for which there were few resources and concentrate on keeping Syria and Egypt...
Zafar had absolutely zero power at the time- any attempt at resisting the rebels would lead to his murder/ effective imprisonment and replacement with a more willing prince. As I recall the rebels got as far as tugging Zafar's beard.
Much less control the city, Zafar didn't even have full...

August 1993:The American Mars Observer and Russian Phobos 3 and 4 missions arrive at the Red Planet. Over...
You had what a few dozen uprisings and full out revolts between 1463 and 1787? All of them were due to endemic banditry... by the local Greek elites and clergy usually leading said uprisings? :p
I plan on sabotaging the PBL. The league will underperform with most people being Dodgers fans. Vernon and Sacramento end up folding after the first season and the entire league is put into jeopardy,
This did happen, pretty much as you describe. For instance, on the 29th, the destroyers Wakeful was sunk by an S-boat, adn teh destroyer Grafton by a U-boat shortly thereafter. But, as you point out, this didn't have much effect on the overall success of the operation.
That it can lol. Thought there might be interest in the actual list of parties, I've spoilered it due to size (there's a lot of parties, it's a bit indulgent but I am a poli-sci student).
I think there would be room for more Disneytowns in Milwaukee, WI, Atlanta, GA, Portland, OR, Phoenix, AZ, Miami, FL, San Jose, CA, Dallas, TX, and possibly Spokane, WA.
