  1. Best way to abort Christianity after Constantine?

    there is still no proof for this claim

  2. Best way to abort Christianity after Constantine?

    As always the earlier the POD the easier it is to avert or change something, so getting rid of Christian Emperors as early as possibke after Constatine dies is the goal to achieve. A Julian-likw figure in the 330s would be the ideal scenario

  3. Was the cultural split between Southern Europe and the MENA region inevitable?

    What makes you think Punic spread and declined in this fashion? Wouldn't Punic have gone from the mediterranean island and Iberia? The wiki article on the punic language makes it seem that if not for Augustine we wouldn't have a reason to think it was widespread by 400 CE and especially not...

  4. If no Alexander, then no slavery?

    "These show how at that time Iranian valued justice and welfare for their own people while most civilized nations at that time still had slavery and exploitation of human beings. " This reads like a terribly biased article.

  5. If no Alexander, then no slavery?

    Going from "the Iranians had aversion to slavery" to "the Iranians had different types of slavery, maybe?" kinda just puts a big "No" to the question in the title.

  6. Roman republic collapses in 1st century BC

    Having it collapse with the Cimbri wars and Mithridatic wars makes more sense IMO.

  7. WI: The Thuringians migrated to Bohemia

    I don't think this pattern holds up for Slavs, they just migrated everywhere. Also I'm not sure how Bohemia is poorer than Thuringia, or less safe.

  8. If the Indigenous of the Americas had stronger immunity to European diseases how would colonization have proceeded?

    The US might be 10-15% native today.

  9. If the Indigenous of the Americas had stronger immunity to European diseases how would colonization have proceeded?

    Whether a place was colonized by one or the other country predicts more its ancestry than the pre-colonization demographics. This is a bit of a stupid statement for me to make when the sample size is small but still it's something to think about, for example pre-19th century migration Argentina...

  10. If the Indigenous of the Americas had stronger immunity to European diseases how would colonization have proceeded?

    I'm not sure how you realistically get the death rate to 30-60%, but anyway I actually don't think this changes things as much one would think for Spain as most of the decline in the Spanish colonies post-ceded the conquest and in places like North America or Brazil the amount of natives was...

  11. AHC: cause the roman empire to fall as early as posible

    Depends on what you think the situation of Rome in the 4th century was, the more positive your outlook for late Rom is the more you should think Rome could fall before if put under the same stress as the late empire was.

  12. What if the Anglo-Saxons never converted to Christianity?

    What makes you say that?

  13. How to foster a more equal trade relationship between Rome and China?

    What exactly did Rome import from China that absorbed Roman precious metals? Can we analyze that?

  14. What if the Anglo-Saxons never converted to Christianity?

    Do we even know for sure when the island of Ireland became majority Christian?

  15. What if the Anglo-Saxons never converted to Christianity?

    By the time the Anglo-Saxons converted, the North Sea was still almost entirely pagan, so it's not like they had no option for diplomacy and trade. You just need to weaken the Franks

  16. To what degree did the French Revolution provide a template for future totalitarianisms?

    To be honest I'm not sure the ancient regime killed 20k people like the Revolutionaries did when taking in consideration the entire 18th century.

  17. To what degree did the French Revolution provide a template for future totalitarianisms?

    How would the amount of deaths caused by the Terror compare to the ones caused by the French monarchy in centuries prior? By the French Monarchy I mean the state senencing and executing people, not war-related deaths otherwise we broaden the scope.

  18. To what degree did the French Revolution provide a template for future totalitarianisms?

    I don't find the argument that a revolution was inevitable convincing, it's possible that societies would just change gradually without even having the idea of a revolution being feasible or desirable. In history there are not infinite amount of moments where something like a French revolution...

  19. 100 Years War: Partition of France + Burgundy in the HRE + Germanized Burgundy?

    No way Old Prussians expel Teutons by the mid 14th century

  20. What's the REAL reason Polynesians didn't colonise Australia?

    How can go be sure these fishermen would have ended up so far before the late 18th century? From what I've read only 7 vessels have been recorded drifting to the region in 50 years, which lead a historian to make the range of estimates of 14-100 vessels per century. Now to me it seems obvious...
