  4. Providence Found, a 17th Century Timeline

    Chapter 2 1660-1665 The restoration of Charles the second to the throne of England brought somewhat of a reprieve to the conflict, the war was not officially over but large scale action was no longer being taken. The new English empire's crown prize was Borica, they had taken a...

    This is the important part, empires expanded into useless land to prevent others, large parts of British India and Russian Central Asia were not efficient but their value was in preventing rivals from expanding their either

  7. Swedish Dutch west India company

    I guess the plan seems that Sweden would have a chamber within the company representing their interests, and that chamber would remain somewhat separate, in the way that Holland and zeeland chambers had separate colonies within the west India company and those colonies were somewhat autonomous...

  8. Swedish Dutch west India company

    Was reading a book https://ufdcimages.uflib.ufl.edu/AA/00/06/19/87/00001/9781947372726_Goslinga.pdf about the early Dutch west India company, and it mentioned on page 240 Samuel Blommaert attempting in the 1630s to get sweden to join the Dutch west India company and make gotenberg the 6th...

  9. WI: Mongol conquest of Egypt

    I've read online that the mamluks on return from ain jalut faced a Shia rebellion in cairo which they crushed, i imagine this could be part of the collapse if the mongols win. The late 13th century had many attempts for mongols to enist crusader support, i can see this being succesful if they...

  10. Society and politics of a long lasting puritan carribean colony

    Hi all, I know somewhat more about British history but I thought others may be more versed in early American history There were a couple attempts at puritan settlement in the carribean, providence island and Eleuthera in the Bahamas, both didn’t exactly work out, I was wondering what an...

  11. Religious and cultural impacts of Mongol syria/levant

    Battle of ain jalut is often framed as mongol chance to conquer egypt, from discussions i have seen this seems unrealistic, most people say that the mongols were stretched at this point and probably wouldnt be able to or try and take the whole of mamluk egypt My question is lets say ain jalut...

  12. Persia retains Armenia and Azerbaijan in 1804-1813?

    The context of the 1905 massacres was a russian empire which did not fully back either ethnic group over the other, in this scenario azeris would be shia muslims in a shia muslim state and azeris historically have held lots of high positions in iranian government, unlikely that they would take...

  13. Persia retains Armenia and Azerbaijan in 1804-1813?

    This scenario interests me a lot and i never see anyone discuss it. On the one hand this would be greater azerbaijian realised and azeri shia turks would probably be the dominant ethnicity in both arm and aze, and they would be in the same state as the southern azeris. On the other hand...

  14. Could Cortez have taken the Aztecs himself?

    the spanish needed massive numbers of local collaborators, relying only on spanish troops is just a needless self sabotage, because every spaniard killed takes potentially months to replace from spain while native auxilliaries are right there and in large part were very happy to assist spain in...

  16. AHC/WI Spain keeps Latin America until the 20th century?

    Brithish raj was a viceroyalty and its governer general was called a viceroy, i guess india wasn't a colony of britain then, interesting stuff

  17. AHC:Both US parties remain ideologically-ambigous

    Democrats definitely have a progressive wing and a conservative wing right now

  18. Why didn't the USA try to push out towards building it's own empire?

    China is not and was not always destined for being a one party dictatorship, and its childish/prejudiced to think the only way to have a part of china be democratic is to have it be run by non chinese people, you assume that if there were no european colonialism that china would follow the same...

  19. Why didn't the USA try to push out towards building it's own empire?

    Hong Kong being in such a bad position now is actually the result of imperialism, the British bought the land with a 99 year lease taking zero consideration into account for the locals wishes, they bought it from China for 99 years therefore they had to give it back in 99 years since it had...

  20. Why didn't the USA try to push out towards building it's own empire?

    Reading the replies it occurs to me that a lot of defences or redefinitions of US power away from being an empire could be used for the Soviet Union too “how can soviets be imperialist when they liberate Eastern Europe from the nazis” “the Soviet’s supported African countries struggles for...
