  1. WI: Maximilian I dies in 1478?

    Frederick is already too old to matter, Philip might be an infant but he's still alive so he's still a heir, although to young so the princes might not like it, so Sigismund as the eldest Habsburg is probably the obvious candidate, but relations between the Emperor and Sigismund weren't...

  2. What could Austria Hungary could of done to fix its Over Diversity and National instability in its Ethnic army, and government.

    What? Hungary fought "rebellions" in Slovakia, Transylvania and Croatia because Slovaks, Transylvanians and Croats would rather be autonomous inside the Habsburg Empire than join the Hungarians. The fact the Empire indeed feel to multiple ethnic breakaway states might give you the impression...

  3. What if China collapsed?

    The Soviet republics had the constitutional right to secede, the PRC doesn't have such mechanism, the breakway states (honestly it is just Tibet and Xinjiang/Turkestan) need to actually force Beijing to accept their secession, easier said than done, even in a case of Chinese "collapse".

  4. Map Thread XXII

    Most of it are lands of the medieval Tibetan Empire, althought with exagerated borders (Tibet never extended much beyond the Himalayas in India, with the exception of Bengal).

  5. AHC: Make Quranism a mainstream sect of Islam

    An Islamic reformation already happened, it is called Wahabism.

  6. AHC: Make Quranism a mainstream sect of Islam

    Evangelical here is a catch-it-all term for protestantes, Baptists, Presbyterians, Anglicans, Reformed, etc. Here they are called "historical sects" in contrast to the modern or "pentecostal sects".

  7. AHC: Make Quranism a mainstream sect of Islam

    YMMV, in Brazil they are arch-conservative.

  8. AHC: Make Quranism a mainstream sect of Islam

    Quran-only Islam makes no sense, it is like a version of Christianity that rejects everything but the gospels.

  9. What if Japan gets to keep Formosa after 1945? How will this affect future PRC-Japan relations?

    That means outright war with Japan, not funding and training of rebel militias.

  10. WI- Wenceslaus III lives

    Doubtful, Premysl Ottokar II was even denied electoral dignity on the grounds of being a Slav (the fact he was very powerful probably counted far more, but anyways) an even stronger Premyslid in the age of count-kings is going to be even less attractive for the princes.

  11. What if Japan gets to keep Formosa after 1945? How will this affect future PRC-Japan relations?

    How is the PRC getting past the JMSDF (and the USN) to conduct it?

  12. What if Japan gets to keep Formosa after 1945? How will this affect future PRC-Japan relations?

    Well, maybe Ichi-go is a massive success for the Japanese and the NRA is completely broken, but the IJA is way overstreched and unable to capitalize on any gains and the CPC fills the void, by the time Japan surrenders the Chinese Civil War immediately restarts and the Communists win big and...

  13. Which African 'Empire' had the most potential?

    Most people don't really know Ancient Egypt beyond "woo pyramids" and "weeew Cleopatra", those who know barely anything will more likely know about just the Ptolomeys rather than the previous 28 different dynasties.

  14. AHC: the largest possible landlocked empire/country

    Well, the First Turkic Khangante seems like a good baseline, maybe with some consolidation/expansion in Khorasan and northwards.

  15. Would the colonial empires still exist today if World War II never happened?

    WWII had a role on that, hard for the French to coordinate COIN in Indochina with the Metropole wrecked and the Japanese destroyed the colonial authorities, and putting "mixed" as a loss for the government is questionable, once again the FARCs are nowhere near storming Bogotá, nor the ethnic...

  16. Would the colonial empires still exist today if World War II never happened?

    They can, actually, this board's Americancentrism is colored by Vietnam and Afghanistan to see guerilla warfare and insurgencies as some sort of invincible force of nature that once started can't be stopped, but in reality... insurgencies most often lose, or just remain going on forever despite...

  17. What would a Mongol controlled Japan look like?

    The same Mongols who adopted the institutions of whatever they went, yeah. Also the Mongols never planned to add Japan to the Empire, only to make it submit like Goryeo, Dai Viet, etc. You also still haven't explained how the Mongols, who were unable to obliterate Goryeo, would be capable to...

  18. What would a Mongol controlled Japan look like?

    @Avrorrange I was going to make a point-in reply, but honestly it seems you don't really know much about the period and is just making surface level statements like it is some sort of video game or anything. For starters, what you're proposing is insane on several levels, it is the complete...

  19. What would a Mongol controlled Japan look like?

    It seems like a convoluted and unnecessary process, considering the person of the Emperor was largely powerless by then. The Mongols could accomplish the same thing by simply placing a Mongol regent in Kyoto and a shogun in Kamakura would accomplish the same thing. And the Mongols couldn't fully...

  20. AHQ: Why did monotheism generally replace polytheism?

    I Yes, calling Zoroastrianism mono or polytheistic is more of a ideological than theological claim, especially the pre-Islamic religion(s).
