Let’s say our POD is that the Visigoths win the battle of Vouille. There’s also plenty of PODs a few years before Vouille if you prefer. The overall war ends in a stalemate, and Clovis dies before he can go for round two, leaving his kingdom divided amongst his sons who are temporarily too busy...

The Roman Empire was quickly unravelling at the start of the 5th century. In 410, the city was sacked for the first time in 800 years. Though it was only a minor sacking, the psychological effect upon the people throughout the Empire was enormous. People have often wondered how the Empire could...

Been thinking about the Crimean Goths and how ridiculously long they survived in some form until the 1800s. And I've been thinking, what if the Goths were more numerous and united in the Crimea? Say, they form a kingdom based around the Crimean peninsula, parts of the Southern Dnieper, and the...

Introduction Oescus, Moesia Inferior 468 AD Dengizich, son of Attila. After the disastrous incursion over Roman Thrace, Dengizich, son of Attila, decided to stop the aggressions and agreed to make negotiations with the Eastern Roman magister militum Anagastes. The conversations took place at...

Before conquering the Western Roman empire, the gothic tribes pillaged in Byzantine Europe before migrating west. If the went southeast to Mesopotamia instead and found a kingdom near the Persian Gulf, how does their culture develop in the next millenia? As the middle east is already a cultural...

challenge is to get germania unified by 200 AD from rhine to don rivers, from franks to goths edit : POD must be after Teutoburg forest but unification must be complete by 3ard century and it must coexist with Roman empire of atleast 395 borders

...with a point of divergence no earlier than around 300 AD. It was not long after this point that the Migration Period began in earnest, after all, and the Germanic peoples played prominently into this upheaval. But then again, they did a fairly poor job of actually expanding their language...

Any chance of the Gothic Language surviving in the Greatest Extent of the Ostrogothic and Visigothic Realms . Edit : Minimum PoD is 418 .

Starting from 476 AD (The fall of the Western Roman Empire), make another Germannic tribe other than the Franks conquer Europe. Bonus points if it is one of the lesser known Germannic people, such as the Rugii or Alemanni.

Using a POD no earlier than the 8th century, what would it take for the Crimean Goths to exist as a sizable majority in modern day Crimea, comparable to the Crimean Tatars? I reckon a situation where Saint John of Gothia had successfully expelled the Khazars from the region and established a...

According to the video embedded (timestamp 30:30) Fritigern sent multiple envoys to the Romans before the battle of Adrianople. What if rather than continuing to deal with the Goths militarily, the agreement was made with a condition? Rather than simply King of the Goths and retreating - the...

199/5000 If Arius had not managed to convert the Goth tribes into Christianity and they would have stayed pagan, what do you think would have happened when they settled in the Roman Empire? PD: Hello. i am new

Folks on this forum often like to discuss opportunities for early German unification, and I figured that you could not get much earlier than this, so... :p With any point of divergence no more than a few decades after the fall of the Western Roman Empire (and none before 476, either), would it...

Could the Greuthungi Goths somehow regain dominance of the Pontic Steppe following the decline of the Huns? How so? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ermanaric https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greuthungi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernyakhov_culture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huns

lets say that ulfilas becomes nicene instead, or an alt-ulfilas appears in the same time and beats the real one to the punch. the end result is this - the gothic tribes, and later the whole germanic world (except the norse, of course) are converted to the nicene creed in the 4th century (and...

This has been in my mind for quite a while and I wanted this to be discussed. The fact that New Zealand was not settled by any humans until around 1280, makes it an already interesting spot for an AH, and I also have quite some linking for the Goths, so I figured, why not combine both? I know...

Where could East Germanic languages surive? How long could it persist? What would be the nature of the speakers(minority, majority, religious, legal, diasporic, scholarly, rural, urban, sedentary, aristocratic, nomadic, rich, poor)? How many East Germanic languages would be the maximum number...
