    WI: Arab Conquests Start Ten Years Later

    Let's say that due to internal issues, it takes longer for the Arabs to be properly united after the death of Muhammad. How does this influence the course of events?

  10. Heraclius is fit to lead in 636

    Heraclius is healthy and fit to command in 636, taking personal charge of the Byzantine army assembled against the Arab invasion force at the Yarmuk. He wisely chooses not to wait, reviving the spirit of his Persian campaign among his men, and smashes the Arab army first on the Yarmuk and then...

  12. Earliest time after Heraclius' death the Roman Empire could have begun to expand again?

    Historically, the Byzantines were only really able to start gaining territory again in the 10th and early 11th centuries, and that was quickly undone after the Battle of Manzikert. Were there opportunities for Roman reconquests before this? Perhaps attacking the Abbasids during the Zanj Rebellion?
