  1. In the absence of Islam, which religion becomes the primary competitor to Christianity?

    This is partially true but i say it would take centuries chirstianity was only strong in the north while in the center and south east paganism was as well as the south west along with judiaisim . For all we knew judiaisim could have won out based on yemen or the meccans become powerful (...

    Lmao I'm imagining the USSR with "seal on bedsheet" SSR flags and America with "national flag with a stripe" state flags.
  3. Economic effects of less Spanish colonization of the Americas?

    Perhaps avoiding the imperial overextension and inflation enabled by New World silver would actually be good for Spanish prospects in the long-term?
  4. In the absence of Islam, which religion becomes the primary competitor to Christianity?

    Making an arab empire was not surprising if the byzantine sasanid war of 602-628 still occurs many of Muhammed companions we're secularly good rulers you can have them in this timeline be warlords first and unite the arab tribes and invade. How ever them not assimilating rather one way or...
  5. In the absence of Islam, which religion becomes the primary competitor to Christianity?

    Because I don't think there's anything unique about Islam as a unifying force that wouldn't apply to a sect of Christianity, (though maybe Christianity would not be as useful as an expansionist force). I think that if Islam hadn't arisen, Christianity would have almost certainly become the...

  7. Disaster at Dunkirk and German invasion of Russia in August 1940

    Pretty much impossible because the Wehrmacht is low on everything after the Battle of France. They undertook a massive effort to build up ammo reserves after the fall of France and that took months to achieve its goals, in fact it was necessary to demobilize a large number of soldiers during the...
  8. What are some likely convergences?

    Although of course this could also be phrased in the reverse for half of those, and since much of the above list are just broader empires that encompass both, it doesn't seem to necessarily imply a strong linkage between the two.

    Finally, Ayn Rand is a Congresswoman.
  10. What are some likely convergences?

    Or rather, that cod fishing didn't requite too much permanent land infrastructure, while plantation agriculture and mineral extraction does.
  11. In the absence of Islam, which religion becomes the primary competitor to Christianity?

    I disagree that Pagan systems would remain. I think as in otl the Christian religion seeks to proselytize the world. So in one way or another they would at least attempt to convert Northern European pagans. As for concerted crusades like in the Baltics I could believe that would be butterflied...

    In the absence of Islam, which religion becomes the primary competitor to Christianity?

    Can I ask why? There were already at least a half dozen of those by the time we got something that explicitly considered itself distinct. Why didn't one of those play that role historically?
  13. What would the Americas be like if the Chinese colonized it?

    So even if we put aside the enormous, nigh insurmountable for hundreds of years after Zheng He, challenge of getting ships across the pacific in a reliable fashion, there is almost zero chance of Chinese colonies in the Americas. The Chinese have never been a colonial nation, even under the...

    Blue Skies in Camelot: An Alternate 60's and Beyond

    Forgive the late response but I wanted it to be known that Wendell Willkie was the furthest thing America had from an isolationist and in fact was instrumental in getting America to support the allies, spoke for an even more democratic UN to be formed, and even attacked colonialism in his book...
  15. What would the Americas be like if the Chinese colonized it?

    Probably somewhere in between, as it won’t be large enough like cities such as Hangzhou at the time, but enough to become sufficient on the number of people alone
  16. In the absence of Islam, which religion becomes the primary competitor to Christianity?

    I think it's likely that some sect of Christianity might take that role.
  17. In the absence of Islam, which religion becomes the primary competitor to Christianity?

    I partially disagree with you on that one as well the byzantines were still loosing italy prior to islam and even if the byzantine emperor reconquers the place I still think the Roman papacy would have some effect over the other powers . But If the Romans manged to fully reconquer italy then...
  18. What would the Americas be like if the Chinese colonized it?

    All of that are good points. I guess that the Chinese colonists would hypothetically land first in Baja California or anywhere in Southern California, and work their way from there. After hearing of the Aztecs, they seek other civilizations and then come across the Inca.

    what is your opinion on the kub ? COuld it counter aircraft like F4 F104G Mirage F1 Vipers etc in the 1980s versions ? even though it was more for intermediate altitude http://www.military-today.com/missiles/kub.htm
