  1. WI Nur Al-Din dies of his illness in 1157?

    According to this page, in 1157 Nur Al-Din was struck with illness so severe he and the Franks thought he would die. He even drew up a will. If he did die, how would this effect the crusader states? Would there be a succession war? Would the effects of his death have an effect on Crusaders...

  8. Economic effects of the Baltic Sea under one Power?

    Let's say that Sweden in the 17-18th centuries manages to gain all the coast around the Baltic Sea (Denmark,Pomerania,etc). Let's throw in a loose confederation of North German states led by Sweden as well. How does this "Rome of the North" do? Is the sum greater than the whole of its parts? Is...
