    I'm with you but just leave Northern France out of it. And just call it Visigotia

    How can there be a different North-South divide for Italy?

    How can there be a different North-South divide for Italy? How can Italy's north be more Catholic than the South like in Spain. Both countries have a Catholic North and atheist south. How can Northern Italy be the center of Catholicism in Italy and how can the urban working class think...

    How can the Kingdom of Asturias exist beyond the year 1000?

    I wonder if the Crown of Leon could be modeled after the Crown of Aragon? Have the royal court in Leon like Aragon has in Zaragoza but have the administrative, cultural, and economic capital in Oviedo. I wonder if this can happen without marriages since the rulers seem related to each other. Why...

    A different Spanish East Indies

    @kasumigenx I think that there would have to be royal struggles in Brunei for Spain to conquer it. If the Spaniards reach the interior of Borneo, then it would have to ally with the Dayaks to defeat Borneo.

    How can the Kingdom of Asturias exist beyond the year 1000?

    @Padilla I would like to correct you that Alfonso III had three sons. Fruela was the king. I wonder if Asturias can expand to the Meseta Central while it is separated by the Cantabria Mountains. I wonder if it is logistically sound to have Oviedo be the main city in the region if Asturias had...

    How can the Kingdom of Asturias exist beyond the year 1000?

    How can the Kingdom of Asturias exist beyond the year 1000? It was reduced to a Principality. Why did Leon take over from Asturias as the center of power? Why did Asturias never retained its former glory or gained an upper hand after the Kingdom was divided by Alfonso III for his three sons?

    How can Romania be a majority Catholic country instead of Orthodox?

    What are the geopolitical ramifications of a Catholic Romania?

    How can Romania be a majority Catholic country instead of Orthodox?

    Why is that? Romania was part of the First Builgarian Empire. So it could have the potential to attack Romania if it became independent from the Ottoman Empire.

    How can Romania be a majority Catholic country instead of Orthodox?

    Could a Catholic Romania defend itself from Russian or Bulgarian aggression? There are two (perhaps three) Catholic states surrounding it, which are Hungary, Poland, and Serbia. In the 1800's, would Romania suffer the same fate as Poland? How likely could Bulgaria occupy the country? How much...

    How can Romania be a majority Catholic country instead of Orthodox?

    @Kaze For either, how fast would the native Romanian population convert to Orthodoxy on both of these situations?

    How can Romania be a majority Catholic country instead of Orthodox?

    How can Romania be a majority Catholic country instead of Orthodox? How could it be influenced by Hungary instead of Bulgaria? I mean, Transylvania has always had Romanian people despite that it was part of Hungary. It should be the center of Romanian culture. Catholicism could always push south...

    Why wasn't Spanish a universal language in Europe?

    I would like to add to your points. The first Iberian kingdom to be a European power was the Kingdom of Aragon. Its possessions outside of Spain include the Two Sicilies, Malta and the Duchy of Athens, which was a crusader state. Another attempt was with the ascent of Charles the V from the...

    Why wasn't Spanish a universal language in Europe?

    You are partially correct on this premise. France also had regional dialects as well, called 'patois'. Spain was part of the House of Habsburg which they can marry outside of the empire.

    Why wasn't Spanish a universal language in Europe?

    It seems that French had risen in the 1600's when Spain had their empire. So no, Spain wasn't declining when French rose.

    Why wasn't Spanish a universal language in Europe?

    Why wasn't Spanish a universal language in Europe? How did French become the universal language instead of Spanish? Spain was a global power in the 16th Century and was very rich. The University of Salamanca was a popular place for the teaching of the Spanish language. What gave the popularity...

    Favourite Obscure Civilizations?

    Not enough movies/documentaries are being made. For example, there isn't an in-depth documentary about life in Alexander's empire. Not much is known about Ptolemaic Egypt other than Cleopatra or the Great Library. The Phoenicians are not as popular or presented the same way as the Greeks. There...

    Why do people believe that the revival of Greco-Roman civilization happened in the Renaissance?

    The Dark Ages were probably when people became ignorant and lost the knowledge in civilization. The buildings became simpler and the people became poorer. Institutions broke down as well when this happened.
