  1. Could Wallonia become germanised (or dutchified?)

    I believe the huge forests in the Ardenne prevented Wallonia becoming Germanised like Flanders did. What is now the Dutch-French boundary in the early middle ages encompassed half of the current Pas De Calais department down to about Étaples. The boundary has retreated over the centuries to...

  2. Could Wallonia become germanised (or dutchified?)

    What is now the Rhineland, Southern Germany, Switzerland and Flanders were Germanised during the Völkerwanderung period.

  3. Arab Conquests Without Islam

    It depends on the extend and power of the Roman Empire after the Arab conquests.

  4. Charles II had legitimate childern

    The POD is that Catherine of Braganza gives Charles II a number of children and the oldest surviving son succeeds Charles II to the throne of England. The children would be raised as Anglicans and the heir would be likely a High Church Anglican. The heir to Charles II would be called either...

  5. Arab Conquests Without Islam

    Nestorians were more dominant in the region of Mesopotamia which the Persians ruled. Monophysites were more dominant in the provinces of the Roman Empire. Good question, I have been doing some thinking on it and come to an interesting conclusion. So I believe the Arabs would become Ebonite or...

  6. List of Alternate Presidents and PMs II

    Yes, in this TL that forces his resignation as Labor Treasurer (he was a decent treasurer, despite his erratic personality) and left the parliament at the election after that. What happened to him after he left politics let him to form Alternative for Australia. In this TL immigration while...

  7. List of Alternate Presidents and PMs II

    It is fuelled by discontents who voted for the Coalition, plus people who are concerned about what they see as the "Islamization" of Australia . Anyway 10% is at the top end of their polling results. The Greens are polling upwards to 20% in the opinion polls. Neither the Liberals or Labor are...

  8. List of Alternate Presidents and PMs II

    I have adjusted the dates accordingly, in this TL the Liberal Party governs a lot like the Conservative Party in the UK or the Nationals did in New Zealand. Peter Costello's reputation was mixed, sort of like David Cameron was. Julie Bishop is pretty similar to Theresa May in her governing...

  9. List of Alternate Presidents and PMs II

    Alternative Australia Prime Ministers Andrew Peacock 1990-1995 (Liberal National Party Coalition) John Howard 1995-1999 (Liberal National Party Coalition) Kim Beazley 1999-2007 (Australian Labor Party) Jenni Macklin 2007-2008 (Australian Labor Party) Peter Costello 2008-2015 (Liberal National...

  10. Visigothic Spain

    That might be a possible, because Islam as we know it was likely not in it's present form by the early 8th century. Not to mention the Muslim sources for the conquest of Spain (along with the various Early Islamic sources) were written one or two centuries after the events took place. That makes...

  11. Is a Lutheran England possible?

    My answer would be highly unlikely, because of the reasons I outline below. I argue that the reason why the English and Scottish were generally of a Calvinist nature has to do with the Lollards back in the 14th and 15th centuries. When you examine the theology of the Lollards they are the...

  12. AHC: Reverse the sect demographics among Muslims

    Maybe have the Fatimid dynasty convert the majority of Muslims in their territories to Ismailism and not collapse as it did in OTL. Before the Safavid dynasty made Twelver Shia Islam the official religion of Iran, a large percentage of Shia were Ismaili.

  13. Kevin Rudd WI

    I tend to go for wither Wayne Swan or Stephen Smith as Labor leader which would help with Labor winning seats in Queensland (Wayne Swan) or Western Australia (Stephen Smith). If either became Prime Minister you would see a much more stable, unified Labor government than in OTL.

  14. Roman Spinning Wheel

    Actually according to Richard Carrier, the Greco-Roman world from roughly 300 BC to 300 AD was pretty close to achieving an scientific revolution.

  15. Ottoman colonies in the Indian Ocean and East Asia?

    I believe it had to do much to do with strategy than technology. The Portuguese developed a sea going empire which spanned the globe and needed a ways of effectively communicating and co-coordinating between bases separated by truly vast distances. The Portuguese had to come up with ideas which...

  16. Australia develops nuclear weapons

    However we are as powerful or even more powerful than nations with many times our population. If New Zealand had joined the Commonwealth in 1901 Australia would have now have nearly 30 million people and might have entered the G-8 (which the G-7 would be called). Canada has 35 million people and...

  17. Australia develops nuclear weapons

    I agree, however Australia possessing a nuclear arsenal is going to be seen as a prestige thing by many Australians. One can never underestimate I believe an over-inflated sense of importance many Australians believe they have in the world. That comes with being a nation that covers an entire...

  18. Ottoman colonies in the Indian Ocean and East Asia?

    The Ottomans were supported by various other states in the Indian ocean in the Ottoman-Portuguese conflict.

  19. Ottoman colonies in the Indian Ocean and East Asia?

    Northern Australia is notoriously hard to colonise, only the Top End (along with Far North Queensland coast) does not have an arid or semi arid climate. Also you have pretty poor soils, there is reason why the Top End of Australia quite lightly populated even today. There was a war between the...

  20. Australia develops nuclear weapons

    Israel has no nuclear power plants, it just has just two research reactors. They managed to create an arsenal between 75 and 400 warheads. Australia in this TL has Lucas Heights (which is a research reactor) and the Jervis Bay Nuclear Power Plant. I can't see why Australia could not produce a...
