Inner Austria consisted of the Imperial duchies of Styria, Carinthia and Carniola and the lands of the Austrian Littoral, from the 14th to the early 17th century. By the 11th century, the Germanization of what is now Lower Austria, effectively isolated the Slovene-inhabited territory from the...

It's a well known fact that during the russian civil war there was the rise of warlords such as Makhno and Ungern who temporarily carved their own fiefdoms for a variety of reasons after the collapse of the Russian Empire This state of affairs would ultimately not last however, as the soviets...

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to find a way to create a viable Siberian politie whose inhabitants see themselves, in vast majority, as truly distinct from Russia and Russians by the present. There is a twist, however: to get the maximum points you must meet this challenge...

How would European/ World history look if the Risorgimento had never happened(What if Italy never Unified) . How would everything from the cultures to politics on the Italian peninsula play out?

In a question totally unrelated to a project that I am totally not currently working on *cough*, I wanted the board's opinion on whether having multiple ethnic-Hungarian states would be possible. One option I had considered was a catholic west Hungarian state, and an orthodox east Hungarian...

Today I should feel relieved to come back to my home soil after fighting so long for it. Instead I only feel guilt and regret about killing for British interests and hegemony. We must lead our country towards its own path if we do not want to lead a century of British domination over us. -...

I love a sunburnt country, A land of sweeping plains, Of ragged mountain ranges, Of droughts and flooding rains; I love her far horizons, I love her jewel-sea, Her beauty and her terror— The wide brown land for me! An opal-hearted country, A wilful, lavish land— All you who have not loved her...

During the Russian civil war there were loads of nations that wanted and fought for independence ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro-independence_movements_in_Russian_Civil_War ) could any of these countries gain independence? Which ones? How would these nations develop? How can we make these...

Your challenge is to create a world where the USA collapses into 10 or more nations. The POD has to be prior to 1900, however, this doesn't mean that the USA has to collapse before then. Also, no Articles of Confederation related timelines, those are a bit overused! Hopefully I did this right...

I am currently trying to create an alternative history story involving Chinese history. My premise is: what if Mao never ended the Great Leap Forward. I want it to be as accurate as possible. However, I also don't have any more ideas for the story, so I would really love anyone's help. Any...
