    AHC: Keep Britain Celtic up till 1100 A.D.

    The best thing to do is probably to have Boudicca's revolt succeed in ousting the Romans. Britannia gets the same treatment as Germania where the Romans decide that the island isn't worth it to pacify. In so doing you keep keep out the Germanic mercenaries (Angles, Saxons, Iutes) who were hired...

    WI: The Romans had spoken Etruscan instead of Latin

    Under the premise that Rome is still basically Rome but it just had adopted the Etruscan language during the Etruscan's time dominating Rome and the rest of Roman history occurs more or less the same... I think you'd find some interesting linguistic changes across Europe and within the Roman...

    France-based Holy Roman Empire, and pagans.

    A lot has been talked about to do with the FrenchHRE but to make a point about the second bit-- about Slavs-- I think it would be more difficult although given the proper leadership doable. It took a great deal of effort OTL to Germanize the Western Slavic tribes, I would think without the same...

    Battle of Gaugamela WI

    Alexander could make a retreat while the Persian claimants duke it out. He takes Antipater's army, leaving enough back in Europe to hold down the Greeks and Thracians, and takes advantage of the chaos. This could make his conquest a little easier actually as whichever Persian army wins the...

    Pockets of paganism survive in the MENA region till Muslim times

    Yeah, there's some evidence of continued paganism, especially in the British Isles, at least until the 10th century or so. But it's hard to prove... Well, Mesopotamian Paganism could exist in some form if Islam never rose at all. But they would be caught between the forces of Christianity in...

    WI - Bantu never expanded to Southern Africa

    Well, the problem with WIs like this is it's hard to say what will be there but it is very easy to say what won't. You could craft a situation where the Khoisan through trade are able to adopt some of the farming and metallurgy techniques of the Bantu peoples, but from there it's up to the...

    Pockets of paganism survive in the MENA region till Muslim times

    Actually, paganism survived in Europe much longer than that. Sweden didn't convert until the 11th century, and Lithuania I think lasted until the 14th century. In North Africa you probably had Berber paganism continue well into the Islamic era. Many Berbers converted for political purposes only...

    AHC: Rome survives in the West, but not in the East.

    Why would they do that? It's too hard to defend. Well, Attila's going to die eventually. And even if one of his sons manages to hold on to control after that (doubtful), the tribes are going to break off after Attila dies. And by this point in time, South of the Danube is the place to go. Even...

    AHC: Rome survives in the West, but not in the East.

    The Rhine is a hard frontier to keep up with the low manpower they had at the time, not to mention the Visigoths already having control of Aquitaine from Tolosa at this point. They could, perhaps, reconquer it later, but I think for the WRE to survive, it would need to consolidate its power...

    How does a Europe without Rome Fair Against Steppe Invasions?

    He meant Roman Gaul. I myself have often wondered about this subject. Over time there have been several mass migrations from the steppes pouring into Europe. Scythians, Sarmatians, Iazyges, Roxalani, Alans, Goths, Huns, Avars, Bulgars, Magyars, Cumans, Kipchaks, Gokturks, Khazars...

    AHC: Rome survives in the West, but not in the East.

    I'd call this a pretty tall order. Somehow, what you've got to do is keep the Germanic tribes from migrating into the West and dismantling the whole thing. However, I don't think it's entirely impossible. One thing you can do, ironically, is prevent Attila the Hun's death. He and the Huns...

    Is a Anglo Dutch Union possible?

    If the Spanish armada successfully lands in London and Queen Elizabeth is deposed, Philip will likely place his daughter Isabella on the throne. Since IOTL she was the governess of the Spanish Netherlands, it is conceivable that she would be granted this as well in time, and without English...

    AHC: Divided India, United Europe

    Napoleon is waaay more successful, and his successors establish a Federalized European Nation, perhaps built around a sort of Imperial Roman Nationalist Ideal. But with this military attention paid to Europe through most of the 19th century, colonization efforts in Asia stagnate, and India under...

    A very very very short update, sorry The Sorb March A.D. 782 “The lands are overrun by Saxons, and the battlefields made graveyards for good Christians. Amongst the dead,” the messenger gulped as he read, “are Chamberlaine Adalgisile, Constable Geilo, Count Palatine Worad, and Count...

    Slavs migrating eastward

    Most linguists believe the Slavs originated in approximately modern day Belarus/ N. Ukraine. So.... no. Unless you are mixing the Sarmatians up with the Slavs. Anyways-- The reason the Slavs westward migration was so successful was timing. They arrived in the areas they did after the...

    Hannibal pulls another Cannae at Zama

    And now I have much more respect for your opinion :) Sorry, it's just so often you see people just say things like "Rome will always win" and it gets a little annoying because of how mindless it can be. An alternative situation that I think is an interesting one that could arise from this is...

    A southern coup

    One thing to note, however, is that this would result in the American Civil War actually being a civil war, as opposed to a rebellion, which is what OTLs ACW actually was by definition
