  1. I Need Help Responding to Someone on What to Call the Medieval Romans

    Can someone help me craft a response to this guy? We were discussing a CKII game and he mentioned the Romans in my game by calling them the Byzantines. Any other decent human being wouldn't make this an issue. I'm not a decent human being.:D While I know there is some contention on...

  2. Forum Opinions on Gary Nash

    I got a history text book by him in College. Just kind of wondering about the forumites' opinions on him.

  3. US Slave States Most Likely to End Slavery on their Own

    A pre-civil war PoD, obviously. 1. Delaware 2. Maryland 3. Virginia 4. Kentucky 5. Tennessee 6. Missouri 8. Texas 9. North Carolina 10. Florida The others are rather unlikely. This is hardly 100% accurate. Some states are tied. What do y'all think?

  4. My History Professor is Depressingly Bad at European History

    To him the Kingdoms of England and France didn't come into existence until the 15th century. And there wasn't a mercantile class until the 16th century. And of course progress is bad and having no written history is good.:confused::mad: I had to place my fist in my mouth to prevent myself from...

  5. Russians Fight On in WWI?

    So somehow the Russians are able to fight on for one more year(hell it's even possible that with the Russians still fighting, and presumably doing better against the Germans, the war might end a bit sooner than OTL). What does the Post-War world look like? I doubt there will be a Poland...

  6. The latest the Brythonic People Could have Pushed the Anglo-Saxons Back into the Sea

    As it says in the tin. How late? 5th century? 6th century? 7th century? 8th century?

  7. D-Day: 1943

    Assuming roughly same success as OTL D-Day, what would the Post-War World look like?

  8. Future of Tanks after a WWI with No Stalemate.

    What role would tanks play in a world that didn't know of the stalemate of the Western Front of WWI? The concept of the tank would be around. They were being developed prewar, like the Austrians in 1911(I believe). What would the hypothetical WWII look like in terms of Army doctrine...

  9. No Seljuk Turkish Invasion?

    With no Seljuk Turkish Invasion what would happen to the Middle East? What would happen to the Eastern Roman Empire? Would we see a continued Roman resurgence?

  10. Republicanism in the Medieval Roman Empire

    I'm playing with an EUIV mod that allows you to reform the Roman Republic and that got me thinking of Republicanism in the Medieval Roman/Byzantine Empire. Was there a movement there in support of republicanism? Mind it doesn't have to be popular. Could just be one man with his talking...

  11. I'm Creating an Alt-History EUIV: M&T Scenario

    The Scenario PoD is that Alexios Philanthropenos does not betray Andronikos II and they are able to hold on to the opposite shore of the Bosporus until 1356. Greece goes more or less as OTL. Instead of a half century of misfortune of OTL they get some stability. So the Romans are a bit better...

  12. Reality Check: A Limited Roman Restoration in 1356 AD

    How plausible would it be to have a limited Roman restoration(Greece + Asia Minor Aegean coastline) in 1356? Mayhap with outside help? I'm assuming that the nobility doesn't declare a civil war every time the Emperor sneezes:rolleyes:;). I think it fairly plausible. At this time the...

  13. He's a Alt-History Scenario(I didn't come up with!)

    Here's a scenario someone on another forum came up with and my response: Here's my response: Of course there were more points I could have made, but there you go.

  14. WWII-era Automatic Rifles

    I was just wondering something. Over lunch just now someone just told me they had a "WWII-era SKS assault rifle". I was not aware that such a rifle existed:o. The only 40s era automatic rifles I was aware of were the STG-44 and the AK-47. Of course I am assuming Assault=Automatic...

  15. The Welsh in 867 AD

    What would they have called themselves? Welsh seems too modern to me.

  16. Pandora Hearts Question

    I'm thinking of incorporating Pandora Hearts into a story I'm concocting, and for the life of me I can't think of an appropriate name for Country the story predominately takes place in, and the world's name as well. It's a bit frustrating actually. The only mention of the nation's identity...

  17. England Avoids the Chaos of the 17th Century

    What would happen if such events as the English Civil War didn't happen?

  18. Kill the Scotish Nation

    I'm not going to be very popular am I? How far back would you need to go to kill off the Scotish Nation? Pre-Roman?

  19. WI: Louis the Pious Only had One Son?

    What would Europe look like at Louis's death assuming a split between the two sons? 100 years? 200 years? 400 years? 800 years? I would assume that at Louis's death the boundry between the two states would be the Rhine, but am I wrong?

  20. Bulgars Fail to settle/invade the Balkans

    What would the Balkans look today assuming no one else invades successfully?
