Could the Magyars have migrated somewhere other than the Carpathian Basin/Pannonian Plain? On one hand, the Carpathian Basin is the westernmost extension of the Eurasian steppe, which would imply that it was the most pragmatic place for the Magyars to settle. On the other hand, there's plenty...

Say that Wenceslaus is killed in late july 1295 by classic horse ridding accident. His death before he get crowns of Poland and Hungary would cause massive butterflies in whole Central Europe. His 5 years old son Wenceslaus III would inherit Bohemian throne. Once again Bohemia would need...

The country of Hungary is currently decked in mourning for the death of their king last week, Ferenc V, who'd ruled in Hungary since just after the Anglo-German War ended in the late 1930s. One Hungarian newspaper called Ferenc "the unshifting rock in the sands of politics". And while it's...

Post by user 'linas' in forum.istorija.lt (original thread here): Obviously, this is a very unlikely prospect, but, on the other hand, not an implausible one - Budapest is not much farther away from Vilnius than Krakow is, and there are examples of personal unions in European history where the...

So he had leukaemia OTL, and his cousin, Freddie, was an outright bastard to him. Basically imprisoning him, claiming the Hungarian crown in Lassie's lifetime IIRC - I know he DID so after Lassie died. Now, since leukaemia's a bitch of a disease (and that's by modern standards, I've lost a...

Exactly as the title suggests, I'm curious about the future implications of Habsburg Artois and Franche-Comté after 1713. Tell me what you think!

So, the idea is that the Tsar decides to intervene against Austria in 1848, snatching Galicia and sending troops into Hungary. Then, after the war is won, the Russians basically coup Hungary, installing a conservative government and a trusted noble as King (or a russian prince, but I think that...

If there's no Great War or any other significant disrupting factor, then what do you think, when could Hungary raise to become both economically and politically more powerful, than the Austrian side of the Austro-Hungarian Empire? Any sceniario ideas about how would the shift in power play out...

Say last member of House of Zápolya, John Sigismund, Duke of Transylvania, does not die young in 1571. Being alive at the time of death of his uncle Sigismund Augustus of Poland, he'll be obvious candidate to succeede him, as his closest, adult male relative. Election of 1573 should be...

The hero of the Hungarian uprising against the Habsburgs at the dawn of the 18th century, once considered for the throne of Poland, and who died in exile in Turkey, married a cousin of the Empress Eleonore Magdalene, Charlotte Amalie of Hesse-Wanfried and had four children (three sons and a...

As in the title, what would happen to Germany, Bohemia and Pannonia if the Magyars are decisively crushed by the Germans during the start of their ascendance in Pannonia? Can the Carolingian dynasty survive?

Threads, which were playing with this idea are pretty old, therefore I hereby open a new one. So, what do you think about an union of the Habsburg and the Hohenzollern dynasties?

So, without overstating my case about the similarities here, it can be said that both the Magyars and the Bulgars were Central Asian peoples that migrated to Europe in the early Middle Ages and established powerful states. The Bulgars eventually accepted the Christianity, a Slavic language, and...

Like the title says, with a POD in the 19th century, what would be the most likely way for us to see a unified German Empire with a Habsburg Monarch, and what would that state look like? How would it differ from the Prussian Germany of OTL? How do international relations shake out given that...

What if the Hungarians adopted Orthodox Christianity instead of Catholic Christianity (technically, they'd be adopting Greek Rite Chalcedonianism as this is presumably pre-1054, but still)? What would a Hungary which adopted Orthodox instead of Catholic Christianity look like? How would an...

How do you think Hungary would have turned out, if it became a Democratic country in 1990, and had the Soviet troops depart it in 1991, yet it never decided to join NATO in 1998, and join the EU in 2004? What fate would you think the most likely has occured for this country if what was...

I've seen Alternative history questions in which one thing is changed, and people ask what would happen. However, I wonder, what if a lot was changed in favor of the Axis? These are the changes I would make in favor of the Axis. -- Yugoslavia joins the Axis and the Government isn't overthrown...

Without Caroberto ascending to the Hungarian throne, who would become the King of Naples after Charles II's died? Would it be his eldest living son Robert as in OTL, or would it be Caroberto, the son of the eldest son of Charles II? What could be the further implications of this sceniario?

Say in late September 1471 Matthias Corvinus dies as result of 'classic' horse riding accident. At the same time Poles gathered forces to install Casimir, later saint, second son of Polish King, on the throne in Buda. IOTL Polish expedition was failure, Jagiellons understimated Matthias and...

Disclaimer: This is not a plasibility check thread, so please don't focus on that that much. Thanks. So What if Hungary breaks off from the Eastern Bloc in 1956, after the Soviets decide not to intervene in Hungary during its revolution? Who could come to power after the elections? How would...
