  1. Challenge: England/Scotland/Wales/Ireland part of Holy Roman Empire?

    That was the POD of my Timeline "A Salian England" (link: https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=52457). Unfortunately, I had to take some time away from that timeline to study, back in 2006. When I finally had time to return to it, I discovered that the true curse of a...

  2. Brazil alternate scenarios

    Yes, Ex-President and currently Senator Collor is running for the Alagoas Governorship.

  3. Brazil alternate scenarios

    I'm not so sure about this. Sure, the Plano Cruzado was theorically sound, but had a few problems such as the "gatilho salarial" (ie: if inflation were to reach 20%, all salaries would be raised in response). Maybe something like the Plano Cruzado would be done by Tancredo, but I think that his...

  4. Challenge: Virgin King of England

    One possibility would be for 'Fred' to suffer some injury or illness at an early age and be diagnosticated as either sterile or impotent.

  5. WI Maid of Norway lives and is crowned Queen of Scotland?

    I see. Then the problem was actually a typo, because you said "Edward II of England being a total ratfucker", when you meant Edward I. And he really was too ambitious and eager in his dealings with Scotland.

  6. WI Maid of Norway lives and is crowned Queen of Scotland?

    I'm not quite sure what do you mean with that. Do you mean that, in TTL Edward II of England would have caused the poor relations between the Scots and the English? Because in OTL, they were started by Edward I, not by his son.

  7. WI Maid of Norway lives and is crowned Queen of Scotland?

    ...his son's ruling style even a bit. After all, if he would rule England like he had attempted at Scotland ... And by that time, I think it's likely *one* child has either been born or been conceived, and if it lives, it will be the heir. Of course, if it's a son, it'll be the next king of...

  8. WI Maid of Norway lives and is crowned Queen of Scotland?

    His unpopularity at Scotland would start far earlier than Edward II's OTL unpopularity in England, as they'll probably be married c.1300, while Edward I of England is still alive (and he'll probably life far longer than in OTL, as he won't be campaigning at Scotland to get sick and die), and...

  9. WI Maid of Norway lives and is crowned Queen of Scotland?

    There might be a debate for splitting the thrones of England and Scotland, and maybe of Norway (which any son of Margaret would have a claim after her father, Eric II of Norway, dies without sons in 1299), although I find it unlikely to actually occur. There's no way Ireland and/or Wales would...

  10. WI Maid of Norway lives and is crowned Queen of Scotland?

    Considering that in OTL they had not only agreed to the match, but after she died, asked Edward I to mediate and basically pick who would be the King of Scotland? And that this happened during a time that relations between Scotland and England were friendly? I don't think so.

  11. A different end to the 12th century;

    No problem, just trying to help. 1) How different has the 3rd Crusade gone? 2) The bit about the Prince of Wales (in the aforementioned case, The Black Prince himself) was more to reinforce the importance of been a Duke, what with Prince of Wales been the title of heir to the throne in OTL, not...

  12. A different end to the 12th century;

    A few observations: 1) The Latin Empire was only founded after the Sack of Constantinople, on 1204, during the Fourth Crusade, while the events described are still at the Third Crusade. 2) England only began having duchies in 1337, and even if King Richard would create the title earlier in...

  13. Industrial Brazil

    Yes, unfortunately I'm studying for public service and this consume a lot of my time. I'm Carioca, by the way.

  14. AH Challange: Get China to Industrialize before Europe

    I think that what really held back China from industrializing was cultural and social - more specifically, the confucian distaste for trade and merchants. Without a merchant class capable of working and competing, and influencing the government, there can be no Industrial Revolution. But during...

  15. The Muskets of the Legions

    Considering Roman mentality, it's quite likely gunpowder would be also employed in civil engineering, making it easier for road-building by getting rid of pesky little things like boulders, hills and things like that. And after it's employed by the military as a siege weapon, it's quite likely...

  16. How fast can we destroy the Amazon rainforest?

    Sorry, the map was supposed to have a legend. Orange => Northeast Region Red => Southeast Region Blue => South Region Yellow => Central-West Region Green => North Region

  17. How fast can we destroy the Amazon rainforest?

    Just some brazilian insight Interesting, but... Protestant work ethic, English Colonization, larger population, stronger/earlier industrialization, none of that would work. The great problem in these sugestions is a fact of the history of economical and demographic development of Brazil. Most...

  18. A Salian England

    The Aztec Empire Contact between the Aztec Empire and the Vinland colonists started in 1412, when a welsh explorer unsuccessfully attempted to open trade with the Aztec. Further attempts were renewed with time, as well as attempts to convert the Aztecs. Nonetheless, the contacts between...

  19. A Salian England

    The Mayan Empire In 1402, an exploring Scottish ship landed in the Mayan city of Tulum. The same ship later visited the Mayan city Nim Li Punit. In 1405, communities from the Welsh Main [OTL Spanish Main] started trading with both cities, and some missionaries started quietly attempting to...

  20. A Salian England

    Vinland The colonization of Vinland had began in 1348, when Robert V of Burgundy (1329-1355), under orders of his sponsor, Duncan V of Scotland (1320-1370), founded the settlements of Quebec, Kingstown [in OTL’s Prince Edward’s Island] and Saint Margaret [near OTL St’s John’s, in...
