  2. All colonization theories and surviving colonies

    Exactly that. Suppose that every legend about colonies had some truth to them? Colonies that survived and those who had the potential for colonization. For surviving colonies,well what if Rapa Nui survived,expanded along the East Pacific and was able to colonize part of California to the...

  8. What if? African Rome

    Historically, the Roman Empire was split between East and West. Maybe a little too much as both Empires were whittled away over the centuries. Anyway, my question is, what if there were a third? A southern Rome consisting of North Africa,African Horn and Levant. What would be the butterflies of...
  9. Surviving New Netherland

    At one point in history, much of what we call the Mid-Atlantic states were originally colonized by the Dutch (and a small colony called New Sweden).

  10. Malay-influenced Japan

    OK, there's a lot of speculation about Japanese colonizing Malaysia,Indonesia and the Philippines but what if it went the other way? That early on in Japan's history most of their influence came from Indonesia and/or Malaysia rather than China. How plausible is this?

  14. Malagasy,Mascarenes and Kerguelen Islands

    The Malagasy were great navigators, able to make the trip from Borneo to Madagascar yet ignored the Mascarenes to the north and Kerguelen Islands to the south. My question is, what would be needed for the Malagasy to colonize the Mascarenes and/or Kerguelen Islands?
