    Threadmarks: Hungarian Arrival in the Homeland

    Hungarian Arrival in The Homeland 2000 BC-800 AD In 2000 BC, the migration of the Hungarians was changed. They began to move east, not west, riding their horses and slowly moving east. In around 1500 BC, the Hungarians lost a major upset with a nearby tribe after years of warring. They...

    WI: Celts in the Indus Valley?

    What if the Celts, instead of invading in both 310 and 280 BC, migrated en masse towards both Illyria and Macedon and Hellas proper, in 326 BC instead, during Alexander's Indus campaign. Although Antipater suffers some defeats, the constant military actions against the Macedonians put a dent in...
  6. Alternate Indo-European Migrations: North Africa?

    I was looking to develop an alternate Indo-European culture for a AH/conlang project. While I was looking at places where it would make sense that a new group of IE people settle, North-Western Africa caught my eye. As I understand there is little to no evidence of IE people crossing the Strait...
  7. What Point(s) of Departure Would the Native Americans Need to Sail Across the Atlantic and Colonize Europe?

    Just a few days ago on DeviantArt, I found this map by MoshiDungo: The title of the map is What if the Americas colonised Europe? As the title explicitly implies, it shows a pre-Columbian Europe being colonized by American sailors, rather than the other way around. Unfortunately, the...
  8. Where else could the Mexica have ended up?

    Much like how the Navajo weren't originally from the American Southwest, the Mexica weren't originally from the Valley of Mexico, only entering it around 1200 CE. This raises a question: where else might they have ended up?
  9. Where else could the Navajo have gone?

    Believe it or not, the Navajo are believed to have originally been from Eastern Alaska and/or Northwestern Canada, only arriving in what is now the American Southwest around 1400 CE. Where else could they have ended up?

  11. Anglo migration across north America without the Industrial revolution?

    Without the Industrial revolution and its subsequent cheap human shipping between Europe and America and ending of subsistence agriculture how does the Anglo-Celtic migration across north America proceed. Would a lack of railways prevent commercial agriculture away from the...

    WI: Proto-Algonquian Migration South instead of East?

    I recognize this is a very niche topic, but it could result in a vastly different America. Around 2000 BC (sources vary), due to still unknown causes, the Proto-Algonquians left their homeland in the Columbia Plateau and travelled into the East, reaching the Midwest as the Red Ochre/Glacial...
  13. Catherine II (accidental or not) Germanisation of Russia

    German migration to Russia: I quote, the following passage: “The Germans migrated to Russia in several waves, all spurred by promises of jobs and land from the Tsars. The first period of migration from Germany to Russia occurred between 1533-1584 under Ivan the Terrible, who hired a wide...

    DBWI: Keep the Sklaveni out of Thessaly (Sklavinija)

    IOTL, during the Slavic migrations into the Balkans, two groups penetrated deeper into Byzantine territory than the others. The Peloponnesian Slavs did not survive the test of time, but the other group, which was not as isolated created its own tribal kingdom in the area of Thessaly and...

    AHC more widespread Germanic languages (in Europe)

    The premise is simple. With a POD between 350 AD and 1000 AD (part of the ethno-linguistic formative years of modern Europe), have Germanic languages be more widespread (by which I mean more majority Germanic-speaking countries). There are a lot of countries in Europe that were established by...
  17. How would California evolve if it had not become part of the US ?

    So in OTL California became part of the US in 1848 after beforehand claiming independence from Mexico because of, from what I understand, a steady influx of US migrants. So a few possibilities spring to mind. 1) Could California have remained independent, being squeezed between Mexico, US and...

    WI: The Bretons go to Iberia instead?

    As we all know, the Briton peoples of what is now England apparently fled in the wake of the Anglo-Saxon invasions and settled in the Armorican peninsula in northwestern France, forming the modern cultural region of Brittany. But, less well-known is the Breton settlement of Galicia, in...
  19. AHC : Make Argentina a more attractive migrant destination than USA in the 19th Century

  20. Challenge: Have Islam viewed as "legitimate" a US religion as Judaism by 1899

    Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to have Islam viewed as equivalently "legitimate" in US cultures as Judaism was by 1899. Yes, it is "foreign," and "non-Christian," it isn't even "white." That goes without saying. They're basically "Irish," but what they're not is "black."...
