You can choose any POD from the founding of Rome to the fall of the western empire. Is a surviving Rome with no core territories outside of Europe too unrealistic? What polities could arise to ensure Rome is confined to these territories? Could any political, cultural, or religious beliefs...

Now what I'm asking u is to create one or more POD to wank or expand the influence that the Enlightenment had in Europe. I'm especially talking about politics but obviously multiple areas will be affected, from art to culture I'm also working on a map so stay tuned

The challenge is simple. Napoléon set to remaking Europe's monarchs in his own image by appointing his siblings (as well as some other lucky non-relations) as kings of various states. However, the various lines of their legitimate descent have petered out (if I'm not mistaken it's only Caroline...

After WWII, how can Europe have all of its monarchies abolished (microstates being the exception)? Were there popular initiatives at the start to phase away from monarchism post-WWII? Or does it requires something else to remove these monarchies?

This is a thread about New Albion, a tl under development for a British Pacific Northwest and Northern California. The POD is in 1763, when the treaty ending the Seven Years War secures a British claim down to the 36th parallel. As a result of the Spanish Colonial Empire being altered, the...

What would be the consequences of no world wars on the flow of European immigrants to the US? By 1914 most immigrants were either from Southern or Eastern Europe, how does this fact effects the ethnic makeup of the us? Would the great migration of African Americans be severely slowed or delayed...

Have San Marino as a part of Italy if you can. How can this be possible? How likely is it before 1945? How likely after 1945? And can it be done peacefully or no?

Hello guys, today I want you to think about the likelihood and the consequences of some kind of union between the eastern Roman empire and the holy Roman empire, precisely I'm thinking about a unification between the 9th and 11th century. How would this new empire look like?

What if in the late xv and xvi century, two of the major European powers had decided to focus their efforts on specific fronts. I'm thinking about Spain completely focused on the Atlantic (and on absorbing Portugal) that tries to stay away from foreign entanglements in Europe and France focused...

What if the 30 years war was averted? For example let's say that the Austrians and the Spaniards stick to a policy of tolerance as proposed by the peace of Augusta in 1555, what would be the political and economic consequences of such a major catastrophe not happening? Even demography is quite...

A tall order, I know, but I wonder if it's possible that a multitude of factors could have eradicated literacy of Europe outside of perhaps the Eastern Roman Empire and Scandinavia by the time the alt-Middle Ages roll around. Some ideas I had were: - No Christianity: Having the Church...

So just like the title asks, what if Hungary was split in two after WW2? The division would be along the Danube river, with Transdanubia( with Buda) being occupied by the Western Allies, while the rest( with Pest) would be occupied by the Soviets. How would this affect the cold war, Europe and...

Portugal along Spain was the first superpower in the world, being the nation that open the door to the era of exploration. The fifteenth century was the golden age of the portuguese empire. However, in 1578, the young king sebastian died in the battle of Alcacer-Quibir. His uncle, the cardeal...

Following the fall of the Soviet Union, what if European Russia and Asian Russia divided, into two different countries of Siberia and Eurossiya (Placeholder name)? The reason that obviously didn't happen in our timeline is because Post-Soviet Borders were determined by the SSR and SFSR borders...

As the title says. POD must be within the allied countries and happen after Hitler comes to power and it can not effect Germany's expansion, i.e. up until the invasion of Poland it does not effect Hitlers choices and actions. POD may not involve killing someone, so it must be a political...

Could there be a European version of Somalia, a country which for more than a decade has been racked with political instability and does not seem to be improving?

Ok guys what I'm asking you is to think about (or tell me about, if you already know) an alternative ideology on how a state should be formed. Obviously we already had ethno-linguistic nationalism and kingdoms big and small, can you think of another way to organize a state? Your POD can be...
