    How Likely Was An Imperial Japanese Civil War?

    And what likely could have instigated the conflict? I just found out that during the 30s that the Imperial Navy and Army both built up parallel forces to each other, the army building ships and air power and the navy doing the opposite with infantry respectively. When there separate and...

    What Would Be the Outcome of a Eastern Roman-Backed Lombard Kingdom Restoration?

    So, unbeknownst to me, there was an expedition to Italy in the late 780s by Empress Irene to place The son of Desiderius, the last king of the Lombards, Adalgis back onto the throne of Lombardy. But when he arrived in Italy, he was met by a joint Lombard/Frankish force that defeated the...

    Question: Name of an OTL Anti-Monarchist Spanish Revolt?

    I've been trying for a while to find the name of a revolt that happened in Spain during the earlier modern period. I don't remember the details much or even the city it happened in, but I think the King at the time was away in the Netherlands. During the rule of the Royal representative the...

    Could Muhammad Ali Have Overthrown Mobuto After the Rumble In The Jungle?

    Bare with me I don't know if it's an historical exaggeration that I picked up somewhere in my time but from the way the story is told about the Rumble in the Jungle it seemed like Ali had enough star power to start a riot after that fight. I'm woefully ignorant about Zaire at the time (the...

    Any Saddam-esque Coups in Ancient History?

    I mean specifically the part of Saddam's coup where he forcefully implicated the ruling elite in the takeover by making them personally execute the purged.* For the life of me, I couldn't think of any examples in anyway like that. At least not from actual history. If anyone here had read...

    How Well Could Powell Have Done in '96?

    I really don't know either way if a Republican could beat Clinton in 1996 but how well could Powell have done if he chose to run and won the primaries.

    How Does a Continued Bronze Age Develop

    Basically, how does human society develop with either an averted or muted Bronze Age collapse? How does the balance of power in the Near East evolve as civilization spreads out from the fertile crescent? How do Bronze Age powers adapt to nomadic migrations and what does the greater continuity...

    What Was the Source of Recessions Pre-Supply Side Economics

    I ask because I'm generally ignorant on the subject of economics and the assumption that I've operated under for the longest time is that after the Great Depression, New Deal Programs, and the World War II readjustment the United States came upon a stable system of continual growth that went...

    General Western Roman Empire Thread

    EDIT: There seems to be a growing number of Late Roman threads on the board in the last 2-3 days which are focused more or less on the same thing. It seems appropriate to just make a catch-all thread for as long as the forum's interest is peaked in the subject, so please post any and all things...

    Julius Caesar Mutilation Question

    So while I was in the shower, thinking about Romans as all normal people do, I had a thought about the Liberatores and it occurred to me that they broke the first rule of revolution: no martyrs. In the present day this is usually achieved through trial, due process and imprisonment of...

    Geography Question: Correlation Between Mountains and Good Pastureland?

    I'm asking mostly in regards to the Iranian plateau and Anatolia; both places throughout history have hosted large horseriding cultures and both are fairly mountainous. My question is if there's a relation between the two things, are the hardier environments only good for grass or is it...

    How would race relations in the US develop with more widespread abolition of slavery in the 1700s rather than the late 19th century?

    How to translate a hand drawn map to Gimp

    I've drawn a detailed map, entirely fictional and on notebook paper. Is there anyway to scan it so I can work on it further on my computer? If so, how so?

    Two Pronged Question: Egypt and Africa

    We know that, while not an existential threat, the Berber tribes of Northern Africa were prone to raiding the frontier and coupled with their presence and the natural barriers of Africa, settlements/cities/population centres had to hug the coasts. But what of Egypt, how much of the border...

    Why wasn't there a native Persian Dynasty after Alexander

    Why was Seleucus able to hold down Persia after Alexander's death if the Macedonians were just foreign conquerors. Shouldn't Iran have crumbled beneath him and raised up an new Persian dynasty?

    What could Odoacer have done?

    What could Odoacer have done to either solidify his position or at the very least improve on the Roman state he seized from Orestes. He was well-liked by the Senate and for the better part of his Patricianship he managed to hold down an Italy which for the last half dozen emperors could barely...

    How Much Better Off Were the Ostrogoths in Italy than the Western Empire?

    I ask because, while the West was falling apart, the Ostrogoths were a regional power and rather stable with the same amount of territory and they made use of the same bureaucracy and institutions so why was one so much better off?

    How does a Europe without Rome Fair Against Steppe Invasions?

    What it says on the tin, how does a Europe without a sprawling land empire fair against Steppe Hordes/Empires. That doesn't mean Rome is destroyed, just limited to Italy at the most.
