  1. If Europeans discover the Americas later what is the maximum extent of the Aztec and Inca empire

    Based on a recent conversation, Say for what ever reason it takes decades to discover the Americas compared to the OTL, so that both the Aztec and Inca empire are given some 50 plus years, how big do you think both empires would have gotten For the Aztec I see them conquering Tlaxcala and try...

    The Western Empire Survives by Escaping to America

    I made this for school a while back, and i think it might be worth posting here. Obviously it has it's issues, but it's a start The Western Empire Survives BACKGROUND Before I dive into this story, I must disclaim that this is not a real analysis of “What if the Western Roman Empire...

    WI: Cortes and Alvarado killed during the La Noche Triste

    Hernán Cortés and Pedro de Alvarado were some of the key figures of the Spanish Conquest of the Aztec Empire, and later the early stages of the Spanish conquest of Guatemala. However, during the La Noche Triste, as the Spanish retreated from Tenochtitlan after the Spanish massacred Aztec nobles...
  4. PC: Polynesian-Mapuche alliance resists Spanish colonization

    While migrating to New Zealand in the early 1300s, a significant Polynesian settler population (with animals) is blown south by a freak storm and gets caught in the powerful eastward winds of the roaring forties. They are carried to the Chilean coast of south America. Either unable or unwilling...
  5. Slower conquest of mexico or aztec rump state?

    so since I have been reading more about the conquest of the Aztecs won during the siege of Tenochtitlan the population is bloodied but the Aztecs can start rebuilding my question is would this lead to a slower conquest of Mexico as the Spanish don't want to try at the capital again so they go...

    Aztec victory at Otumba

    Which scenario could you picture given an Aztec victory over Cortés and his allies at the Battle of Otumba in July 1520? I think Europeans from other countries, like England, France, or Portugal, would try to reach Mexico, but with different objectives than the Spanish (as the Aztecs would be...
  7. WI: Mesoamerica without the Mexica

    What if the Mexica never relocated to the Valley of Mexico from Aztlán? How might it alter Mesoamerica?
  8. WI: Pre-Columbian cultures survive or avoid the Conquistador period

    Let's say that Cortés' expedition ends up in a total failure, as it might have had if the native allies Cortes found in Mexico were less friendly or if he failed to find a decent interpreter, and the Spanish authorities in Cuba care little since Cortes was a mutineer at that point. Let's then...

    European influence on cuisine of Surviving Aztec/Maya/Inca Empires

    In a hypothetical scenerio, where Cortez expedition failed SO horribly, that causes a butterfly effect, in which the Aztecs (although, internally collapsing) and the Maya tribes and the Inca Empire survive Spanish conquest, and would later make-contact with the other Europeans, like the...

    WI: No Aztecs?

    The Aztecs were originally a nomadic group who left their mythical home of Aztlan sometime around the 13th century, and founded Tenochtitlan in 1325. Although their myths state that their god Huitzilopochtli led them to a spot where an eagle perched atop a cactus and devoured a snake...
  11. AHC: Pro-Aztec Conquistadores?

    In China, European Catholic Monks who arrived were huge "weeaboos" to use a modern term. They started dressing like Chinese sages, were the first Westerners to master the Chinese language and writing system, started eating Chinese food, reading Chinese literature, and even tried to modify...

    World without Large influx of New World Wealth?

    What if, for some reason, Spain never conquers the Aztecs or Inca? (Most likely POD, Cortez dying, and no conquistadors come for some ASB reason), and the Spanish never gains the Large amount of New World wealth of Gold and Silver? There can be those countries who can still get rich off of...
  13. WI: Aztecs never arrive in the Valley of Mexico

    What if the Aztecs never relocated to the Valley of Mexico? How would that affect things?
  14. Alternate names for unconquered Nations in America (+ Alternate colonies names)

    So every once in a while we discuss about what would happen if the main indigenous nations of America managed to fend off the European settlers and conquerors, from the least (Aztecs) to the most (Incas/Tahuantinsuyus) plausible. 1.Something that I keep wondering, more specifically in...

    WI: The Aztecs beats the Spanish...

    ...then collapses in on itself. All it’s vassals breakaway, and the entirety of Mesoamerica is Balkanized. What’s left of the Aztec Empire are the original triple alliance city-states. What’s left is a power vacuum, but what Mesoamerican state can fill this void? What Mesoamerican state could...
  16. Advice on what would happen if the Aztecs defeated the Spanish in 1520 and how would it happen?

    Hello everybody. Well, this is my first time posting on Alternatehistory.com since I've heard of this site since I was on the AltHistory Wiki in Wikia/FANDOM. But I am currently here because I need advice on a timeline I am writing on the Alternate History Wiki on Miraheze called Mexica Victory...
  17. How would the Aztecs translate the names of Old World countries?

    Let's say the Aztec Triple Alliance/Aztec Empire survived with Nahuatl as its primary language, establishing widespread diplomatic relations across the world. What would Nahuatl names be for most modern day and past countries -- without the Spanish influence that has affected Nahuatl...

    Mayan, Aztec, Inca on the world stage

    If the Cortes and Pizarro expeditions failed, and the Aztec and Incan Empire somehow survives, a new Mayan Confederacy Forms, and no European power try to conquer them, and they survive the plagues, what would their roles be in the world? Would they try to learn from the Europeans? Would they...
  19. How would the English colonise or control Mexico ?

    Assuming the English got to the Triple Alliance/Aztecs first (English Columbus in the north then later voyagers post-1500 began travelling south to look for a Central Passageway to Asia to bypass Portuguese African route monopoly), then what and how would the English approach to colonising or...
  20. What if the Aztec & Spanish formed a trade agreement.

    (I'm seriously considering trying my hand at writing a timeline out of this premise. (Feel free to correct any glaring mistakes i might have made in the premise down below as you do.) Context behind this. In 1519 Hernan Cortes made his landfall in mesoamerica and quickly by way of several...
