    Make Japan a Dutch colony

    You can't detach one factor from the other. If the Dutchmen don't have the ability to colonize efficiently and immediately the areas they actually want to colonize and invest in, what more the temperate place that you need to pass through Spanish territory to get to?

    Make Japan a Dutch colony

    It still took the sustained effort of centuries to secure Java directly under the control of Batavia. Something that the Dutchmen do not have for the far-flung land of Zipang. Much easier to trade exotics from Japan than to subjugate it.

    Julian reforms Roman Hellenism

    I think it'd be more realistic if Julian's reforms made these gods emanations, not servants, of the One. From the Monad comes down a bunch of emanations which are paired together and who create the world or are fundamental forces within the world or something. IDK, that fits the atmosphere of...

    What is up with those Ayudhas?

    Make Japan a Dutch colony

    True enough. Still, all of this would matter to a Japan colonized by foreign powers two oceans away in either direction. A Catholic Netherlands means a Netherlands that is likely still under the thumb of Spain. Or perhaps it is more an Austrian Habsburg colony instead? Either way, very big...

    Make Japan a Dutch colony

    As Monter said, most Japanese Christians were Catholics. Which is one of the reasons the Dutchmen had a monopoly on Japanese trade: the Calvinists kept their faith to themselves. You can't strengthen one (the Dutch) without weakening the other (the unity of Christendom). Europeans are not a...

    List of monarchs III

    I'm going to revive this list by going back to a different monarch, because it bothered me that the daughter of a woman who fought against Metz Catholics herself converts to Metz Catholicism and restore the very Pope who had declared several crusades on her before. Kings of the Berbers...

    AHC: The United States Fails

    Here's a potential path: Andrew Jackson fucks up everything. He seems to be the best PoD to begin eroding American democracy into a failed state.

    Julian reforms Roman Hellenism

    Julian's religion was literally a reaction to Christianity and its increasing pervasiveness in Roman society. You need to screw Christianity as a matter of course.

    Calling All Roman History Buffs: Writing a Realistic Rome-Wank

    I'd say this view is still overly harsh on Byzantium. Where is Kassiani in your analysis? Where is John the Grammarian? Where is the University of Constantinople, or all the other texts that originated from the Queen of Cities and ended up in all the other cities of Christendom? Sure, the...

    Los Hijos del Pais v2: A rough outline of a Philippines TL I want to write

    Indeed. Unfortunately, this will have to wait until September, but I'm definitely excited about the possibilities of an independent Philippines and how it interacts with the cultures around it.

    Los Hijos del Pais v2: A rough outline of a Philippines TL I want to write

    Hopefully even more than just parts, if the Philippines ITTL is lucky and the Kongsi federations feel the need for protection.

    Julian reforms Roman Hellenism

    Can be, but then they'd just be two more gods in the increasing pile of confused and incoherent Oriental mystery cults. Which isn't what the Romans were looking for by then. They wanted something different.

    AHC: Byzantine Empire: The Anime

    No. We indulge in the odd Starkwank/Targwank/paternalistic uplift in the Fandom AH subforum, admittedly, but still. This is a more serious place than that. Usually. :P

    Rome Below the Winds: A Javanese Timeline

    I really liked this story, BTW, and I wanted to ask for help on 19th century Indonesia and what I could do to stem the Dutch tide then using an independent Philippine republic. I got some ideas from other guys, but yeah...
