  1. WI: Prevention of the Break-up of Yugoslavia by looking back to WW2, and more

    A vague title, to be sure, but I'll take the start here to elaborate - the break-up of Yugoslavia has many reasons, and many points, as to why and how it happened, but many opinions exist on how to prevent this event. My opinion revolves around the two effective groups which existed in Communist...

  2. WI: King Alexander I of Yugoslavia wasn't assassinated?

    On the 9th of October, 1934, King Alexander I of Yugoslavia arrived in Marseille to start a state visit to France, one that, if everything went well, would've gone to Paris, and would've ended with a brief visit to Britain, where he'd see his son, future king Peter II, in Surrey. The main...

  3. WI: Metrodorus of Lampsacus, the Epicurean, doesn't pass away in 278/7 BC?

    According to the Wikipedia page for the aforementioned Metrodorus, "Metrodorus died in 278/7 BC, in the 53rd year of his age, seven years before Epicurus, who would have appointed him his successor had he survived him." While I wonder about the accuracy of this statement, it did bring forth a...

  4. WI: Great Moravia resisted the Carolingians?

    After some private discussion on a related topic, I reminded myself of a discussion that I started back in September of 2017 regarding the Maximum Spread and Usage of the Cyrillic Alphabet. Specifically; The first half of my response to Kammada's suggestion was specifically what I reminded...

  5. WI: First Serbian Uprising without Russian support

    As early as a month into the uprising against the Dahije that terrorized the Sanjak of Smederevo, the leaders (or vođa) of the First Serbian Uprising realized that, in order to fully guarantee that things would be returned to how they once were from 1793 to 1799/1801, they would need...

  6. AHC: Maximum Spread and Usage of the Cyrillic Alphabet

    Paralleling the thread about this topic but with Latin from a while back, with a POD no earlier than the 9th century, maximize the spread and usage of the Cyrillic script throughout the world. While it may be hard to overly screw the Latin alphabet at that point, let's see how far it can go.

  7. WI: Latin-based/derived Glagolitic/Cyrillic

    The original title was supposed to say "Latin-based/derived Slavic script", but someone could've given the cheeky answer of the West Slavs, the Slovenes and the Croats, so pardon the slightly nonsensical title. As some may know, today, most Slavic languages, sans those mentioned above, as well...

  8. WI: Jesus in Japan

    Before you ask, yes, I was inspired to make this thread after watching Abroadin Japan's video on Shingō. The whole story behind it is so absurdly silly that it warrants a discussion here. So, using the legend as a basis, attempt to figure out how this AH could've happened.

  9. Names for Spain without Hispania as the root

    Without being derived from Hispania, like España/Spain is, what names could the area we know as modern-day Spain have (whether it be for a Hispano-Roman state that was never conquered by Muslims, a surviving Al-Andalus, or post-Reconquista)?

  10. Weimar-era German politicians

    Are there any resources online, listing the politicians that were active during the Weimar-era/interwar period in Germany?

  11. WI: First Serbian Uprising

    Following a string of victories against the Ottomans, the Serbian insurgents sent Petar Ičko as their envoy to the Sublime Porte. Following some negotiations, Ičko managed to convince them to give the Serbs some favorable concessions, which we know as Ičko's Peace. However, the Russians...
