    WI/AHC: House of Koxinga takes over China? Zheng Dynasty

    It's fine, it's fine. Sorry if that slipped my mind. Work tends to do that to me, these days. :coldsweat:

    WI/AHC: House of Koxinga takes over China? Zheng Dynasty

    I mean, if the House of Zhu is replaced, it won't be called the Ming anymore. I feel. The new dynasts would be incentivized to use a different name.

    WI/AHC: House of Koxinga takes over China? Zheng Dynasty

    Well, the Dutch are a no-go, given it was their colony that was conquered from them. Expect them to give the Qing the necessary help in conquering Taiwan as per OTL. Someone earlier did mention the Portuguese, which is a good bet. Whether the Zhengs are willing to accept Catholic missionaries is...

    WI: Wu Sangui didn't defect to the Qing?

    The tide had already turned against the Ming by the time the Qing marched on Shanhai Pass. Even if Li Zicheng didn't act like a complete POS to Wu Sangui's family, the Ming were already fighting the Shun at terrible cost. If Dorgon were smart - and I'd believe that to be the case, given he was...

    Shouldn't the Korean peninsula be more or less similar to OTL's frontline or in favour of the South, with Communist China far smaller?

    WI/AHC: House of Koxinga takes over China? Zheng Dynasty

    Most probably a lot like the Song, with a focus on mercantile activity, adminsitration and scientific progress, although I don't think the Southern Ming would be as hopelessly inept at warfare as the Song was.

    The game treats everyone that's not North Korea as entites lacking any sort of agency in this situation and just magically turns into Koreans. I'm sure even IRL Kim Jong Un thinks this is insanity.

    Hunter X Hunter has the same concept too, just with jumbled-up Earth continents near a monumentally larger Dark Continent full of things that can kill you in cruel and unusual ways. Well, more things that can kill you in cruel and unusual ways.

    WI: If Joan of Arc lived for longer

    As @Whiteshore mentioned, Joan was planning to crusade against the Hussites afterwards, so it's an easy way for Charles to get her out of the way. If the Hussites kill her - which is highly likely, given their exceptional tactics for the time - all the better for him. If she's captured, he might...

    When is the latest that China could balkanize and undergo European style ethnogenesis

    The problem with that is that is that Chinese nationalism was still deeply rooted in Hong Kong during British colonial rule, even after developing a localized form of Cantonese culture. The debate over reunification with China wasn't whether they should do so at all. It was whether the ruling...

    When is the latest that China could balkanize and undergo European style ethnogenesis

    True, but as OTL showed, the best salesmen for local independence are, ironically, the advocates for Chinese nationalism themselves. Chinese nationalism soured tremendously with the Taiwanese Han after Chiang unleashed his White Terror on the former Japanese colony. Later on, the CCP would piss...

    With hindsight, what should have been the US strategy in Vietnam?

    Too reliant on the Chinese Nationalists for support, which is dysfunctional in itself, and progressively routed by the French, Viet Minh and Diem. There was simply no one who could provide the kind of unifying leadership that Ho Chi Minh gave to the Viet Minh.

    Weekly Flag Challenge: Discussion & Entries

    Basically streamers using animated avatars, usually anime-style, but not necessarily. I was actually a bit worried I set the bar too high. Food for thought for future challenge ideas, I guess.

    Where would a colonial minded Ming Empire have expand to?

    The issue here is that Taiwan is separated from the Chinese mainland by sea. Southern China is not. Even to the present day, substantial minority populations still exist in southern China, but they're not too difficult to handle so long as the ruling government can simply march troops and...

    Where would a colonial minded Ming Empire have expand to?

    Uh, I didnt mention anything about China ignoring Taiwan for other places, though. I'm just answering about the possibility of Taiwan as a Ming colony only. In fact, the same attitude imperial China had for Taiwan applied pretty much everywhere else. There just wasn't any dearth in resources of...
