  1. AHC The people of the Congo get the benefit of its rubber and mineral wealth

    The Best chance is for the the Catholic kingdom of Kongo survive to unify the region. If they are able to maintain control of the mouth of the river and the coasts they should have a monopoly on European technology. Once the slave trade ends they can switch to trading palm oil and rubber.

  2. Absolutely no immigration into the USA after 1790

    You could have the country turning more nativist during the period of the quasi-war with France and the whole of the XYZ business.

  3. Christianity in China

    No I don't think it is ASB. I think the crucial thing is for there to be Chinese born missionaries carrying on the message of the Gospel after the initial European missions so that Christianity is not seen as just a foreign religion. For example in Sub-Sahahran Africa most people were converted...

  4. United India in 19th century

    United India in 19th century Wasn't this OTL?

  5. Christianity in China

    There are a number of possible pods for this. The Nestorians actually had missions in China already when most of Europe was pagan. The Tang dynasty was very open to outside influences and China largely converted to Buddhism during this period. Withe the right POD you could get large number of...

  6. WI: Mercia unites England

    It would all depend on whether an earlier united England would be better placed to resist Norse invasion. If the Vikings are repelled then that would create huge changes in he cuture of the North of the country which in otl has many Scandinavian influences in the culture.

  7. WI: Justinian holds Italy and Spain

    Okay so going with such a POD, what would the long term consequences be? Could we see an earlier re-population of Italy and general recovery of Europe?

  8. WI: Justinian holds Italy and Spain

    What if Justinian and his descendants had been capable of restoring Roman rule to western Europe? If the East managed to conquer the West what would be the course of European history? What would become the Lingua Franca of such an Empire? Would it be possible to have a revival of Latin at this...

  9. WI persistent opposition to the USA

    Mexico began independence as the first Mexican Empire under Iturbide.

  10. WI persistent opposition to the USA

    Defending Canada, of course.

  11. WI persistent opposition to the USA

    Well Britain was never really interested in reclaiming America after the war, so most Tories either left for or kept quiet about it (and they had good incentive, remember tar and feathering?). You would need a revanchist Britain in order to give Loyalists any hopes to continue.

  12. American Congo effects on Africa as a whole?

    First, I doubt the viability of native states, especially in the Ohio river, considering the sheer American population that already existed in the region, which would have to be expelled in order to make it a viable native state. Same with the trans-Mississippi; that is a lot of land that the...

  13. American Congo effects on Africa as a whole?

    I suppose in an America with a large African Empire treatment of American blacks might improve as they may be seen as "civilised" and "whiter" than native Africans. They might have a position much like that of the Half Anglo half Asian community in the Raj.

  14. American Congo effects on Africa as a whole?

    I think we need to go to much earlier POD for this to become a reality. If American westward expansion is averted or at least heavily curbed there might be more of an appeal for expanding into the Atlantic and acquiring colonies in Africa and the Caribbean. Let us say the war of 1812 is lost to...

  15. W.I: Iron tools in Mesoamerica

    So what be the main social consequences of the region adopting iron?

  16. W.I: Iron tools in Mesoamerica

    Interesting, why do you think this is?

  17. W.I: Iron tools in Mesoamerica

    I remember reading earlier how sub-Saharan Africa did not have a bronze age but jumped from the stone age to the iron age directly, and I was wondering if the same could happen in the Americas. What if iron was developed early on in the history of Mesoamerican civilisation, let's say that the...

  18. Explain the AH Quote

    Prime Minister Clement Attlee on the sudden and mysterious disappearance of Blackpool, the first in a line of so called "ISOT" events. "That's nobody's business but the Turks."

  19. How much of Italy could become Muslim?

    Medieval Sicily was ruled by various Arab and Berber Emirs, but Muslim rule never spread further up the peninsula. Realistically, what is the best case scenario for Muslim kingdoms in Italy?, And what could be a plausible POD?

  20. From Mexico to the World 2.0: A TL
