  1. What happens to the early Islamic conquests of the 7the century if there's no Byzantine-Sassanian War of 602-628?

    From my understanding, a major component in the success of the Rashidun Caliphate's expansion was that the Byzantines and Persians were simply exhausted from fighting each other with major occupations of the opposing empire's territory that went far beyond any previous Byzantine-Sassanian...
  2. What would a Nazi genocide in Africa look like?

    In his classic AH novel, The Man in the High Castle, Philip K. Dick portrays the victorious Germans as completely wiping out the native population. While both the scope and method of genocide (via basically converting them into human chemical pits, with one reference to toe bones being used in...
  3. AHC: Largest possible Holy Roman Empire by 1799

    As the title states, what's the largest Holy Roman Empire possible between the crowning of Charlemagne and the year the French Consulate (headed by Napoleon, whose actions led to its dissolution) took power in France? Do note that this alt-HRE can shrink in size after reaching its peak...
  4. AHC: Make France and England kingdoms like Bohemia in the HRE by the year 1100?

    Essentially, France and England are kingdoms with the same rights and privileges as the Kingdom of Bohemia (being Electors possibly included) as part of a larger HRE. What sort of PoD would be needed to accomplish this? How would relations between the two rivals on the English channel develop...
  5. If Pedro II's sons survive until adulthood, does the Empire of Brazil survive?

    From my understanding, the 1889 coup was the result of Pedro's daughter not being seen as an acceptable heir by neither her Father nor the General Assembly, which emboldened the Republicans to overthrow the monarchy. If Pedro's sons did not die in childhood, live long enough to marry for...
  6. What are potential effects of a surviving Byzantium on Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation?

    Inspired by Alternate History Hub's new video ( , thread on the video in general here- https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/thoughts-on-alternative-history-hubs-new-video.495651), how would a Byzantine Empire with pre-Manzikert borders influence the Protestant Reformation? Martin...
  7. Did Christianity keep the Western Roman Empire stable longer, or hasten the decline and fall ?

    My personal belief is that whether or no Christianity had a presence in the Empire, it was doomed to fail anyway. I have 4 chief reasons for this view. 1. Rome was already a house of cards due to being unable to figure out the issue of imperial succession. This was a carry over from the...
  8. WI the 1281 Mongol invasion is spared destruction by the kamikaze?

    Inspired by my playing Ghost of Tsushima, what if August 15, 1281, is a bright, sunny day, and the Mongol fleet is still intact for the invasion? From my reading of the events of second invasion.... the Mongols really had no chance. The Japanese had the advantage of being defenders on an...
  9. AHC: avoid the Sack of Constantinople in 1204

    The most obvious way to achieve this would be to not have Alexios Angelos to approach the Crusader army to place Issac II back on throne. Even more ideal however, would be the Angeloi never coming to power, whether that be by Andronikos Komenos being less tyrannical, or by putting John Komenos...
  10. WI the Byzantine Army switches from manpower to fortifications?

    The system of fortifications such as castles and fortresses emerged in Western Europe during the division of the Carolington Empire. Because of this system, the significance of decisive battles was greatly hampered since, even if an invader massacred large portions of a defending force, they...
  11. What happens if Germany wins at Stalingrad?

    What would the ramifications be if the Germans successfully took Stalingrad? Would they be able to take the Caucusus or would their lines be over extended to the point of easily being cut by the Red Army? How would this effect the war effort on both sides? Ignore how they do it, just assume...
