  1. Late 16th/Early 17th Century TL

    Hello fellow AH.com readers and contributors, It has been over a year since I first joined the site and a bit longer since first lurking about the forums. Since joining, I have hinted towards creating a timeline of sorts on several occasions. Due to various reasons, I have not posted one as of...

  2. Information on Anton Monier

    Good morning fellow AH.com contributors, I have posted on several occasions that I have been working on a timeline. The project has been in the making for roughly a year now but I have hit a roadblock. If you are not familiar, Anton (or Antonius) Monier was an entrepreneur who worked with/had...

  3. WI: Ajacan was successful?

    A subject that appears to be one that is not often discussed here on AH.com is the Ajacán mission. As a matter of fact, I have only found one thread with any mention of it. After speaking to some individuals who work at Jamestown and people who were somewhat familiar with the subject, I decided...

  4. Alternative engine for Matilda II?

    My first thread on post-1900 forum so please bear with me. My wife and I were going through a box while sorting out our office. The contents were some pictures and letters from her grandfather. This particular gentleman was in the British military during World War II and became a POW in late...

  5. WI: Isaac II Angelos killed at the Battle of Tryavna

    The Battle of Tryavna in 1190 was something that I randomly came across recently. Apparently, it was quite a blow to the Byzantines and a morale booster for the ascendant Second Bulgarian Empire. The Bulgarians managed to capture the golden helmet of the Byzantine emperors, the crown, and the...

  6. WI: More Portuguese involvement in Bhutan

    The thread that I created about regions and subjects not discussed often got me more interested in reading about areas where my familiarity is limited. I have seen a few discussions about places like China, Japan, Philippines, and Vietnam. However, one region that I have not seen being discussed...

  7. Regions and subjects not discussed often

    I have noticed that there are quite a lot of threads related to the American Civil War, Napoleon, and the Byzantine Empire. I know that there are more subjects that are frequently discussed but for the sake of getting to the point, I prefer to keep that list short. While these subjects are...

  8. WI: House of Rurik - House of Vasa marriage

    Erik XIV of Sweden had the idea in 1566 that his oldest daughter from his first marriage, Virginia, should be married to Tsarevich Ivan Ivanovich, son of Ivan IV. From what I have read, Erik XIV was considering an alliance with Russia and was in a seven-years truce with them as of 1564. However...

  9. DBWI: Gustav II Adolf dies at the Battle of Lutzen

    Gustav II Adolf was known to have led from the front and to have put himself in harm's way on several occasions. At the Battle of Lutzen, he led a heroic cavalry charge which resulted in the collapse of the Imperial left wing and push towards the center of the Catholic forces. This battle was a...

  10. WI: Vasa did not sink in 1628

    Gustav II Adolf has been described as a "keen artillerist" and wanted to make a ship that would be an artillery platform. Due to several factors, with a major one being a poor understanding of theoretical principles of shipbuilding, the Vasa sunk on its maiden voyage in 1628. I understand...

  11. Most mentally unstable leader/monarch

    To tag along with previous threads about competent and incompetent leaders, who would you pick as one of the most mentally unstable leaders/monarchs prior to 1900?

  12. WI: Old City taken in Battle of Prague (1648)

    As it says on the tin. How would the outcome of the Thirty Years War be different if the Old City was taken before the Peace of Westphalia?
