What if the Jagiellonian dynasty didn't come to an end with Sigismund II Augustus' death? First of all, I know the Union of Lublin wouldn't be a thing, since there would be no need to create a real union between Poland and Lithuania for the two realms to remain connected. The Jagiellonians were...

Because I'm in a Jagiellon mood today. IOTL, Anna of Cilli, second wife of Jogalia, died of an illness in 1416, aged approximately 30. Her only daughter was Hedwig, who was Jogalia's heiress for much of her life (until her own death in 1431, aged 23). Jogalia didn't mourn Anna much, and he soon...

Which timeline would you guys be most interested in seeing? The Cross in the Sky: A Maxentius Victory TL In this timeline, Maxentius defeats Constantine at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge and kills him. Roman history, especially in the east, is forever changed. The Flame of the West: A...

I'm working on a timeline with a less colonized America, and something that I'm thinking about is how a lot of the counter-reformation was funded by new world silver. How much would a timeline where such organizations weren't as large change the history of Poland? It seems like the Khmelnytsky...

I'm guessing he would probably not get elected king of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Would Maximilian III be elected in Sigismund's place? How different a path would that put the Commonwealth on? Would it set a precedent for a Hapsburg Poland-Lithuania? Would Sigismund and his descendants...

I'm thinking a Time of Troubles PoD. Suppose it results in a weaker, conquered, or more westward looking Russia; what do you think might happen to Siberia? I heard something about an indigenous uprising during the time of troubles, but Russian troops were ultimately able to put them down. If...

Whenever I see people pondering what would've happened had the Jagiellonian Dynasty survived past Sigismund II Augustus it involves him fathering children. For all we know Siggie could've been infertile (he was married 3 times and had no children), although that is just a personal opinion. I've...

August the Strong, Elector of Saxony payed enough bribes to get elected as king of Poland-Lithuania in 1697. This gave Saxony a chance eto become a European Power. But also brought many problems with it. In the end, the poorer Brandenburg-Prussia eclipsed Saxony and became a Great Power. Some...

Hello all, So, Lithuania was a powerful realm in its heyday. Mindagaus -- the first Duke and later King of Lithuania -- fought and won many wars against Christian forces, defeating Polish and Crusader enemies and conquering land from the Baltic into Ruthenia. However, though Mindagaus was a...

What if Edward VI lived to marry Elisabeth of Valois and Isabella and Catherine were his children. I’d imagine that if Elisabeth died as she did OTL, Edward would get a second wife.

As the title says, the challenge is make the Kingdom of Poland or Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth under the Hapsburg dynasty. What would be the butterfly effects of Hapsburg Poland or Hapsburg Polish-Lithuania?

the 15th Century was perhaps...the most interesting in terms of European affairs. While Central Asia had been peaceful since the fall of the Timurid Dynasty and East Asia ever since the Ming Conquests of the Yuan Dynasty, Europe was still embroiled in the wars that had consumed them centuries...

Let's assume that, for some reasons, Clement VII accepts Gustav Vasa's candidate as Archbishop of Uppsala and that this is enough to keep Sweden Catholic. How would this PoD influence OTL's Swedish rise to power, involvement in the TYW and in the Baltic region?

Ok, the idea here is make a scenario where the Commonwealth survives WITHOUT being a vassal of any country and with a PoD in the 18th century

How the swedes could prevent the danes from intervening after the Treaty of Roskilde, capturing John Casimir II and securing the claim to the throne (recalling that the Lithuanian nobility had already ceded to Charles X Gustav)? That is, total victory in the Second Northern War.

Edward Lewinski-Corwin, in his book The Political History of Poland, makes an argument for the failure of the November Uprising that happened in 1830, in Poland. He mentions the procrastination and lack of commitment of the Polish rebel leaders, principally that of interim dictator Jozef...

(Sorry but the english is not my mother lenguage) *Parts of the Pod (like rules or something, or possibilities for the PoD what I propose) -Russia wins over Sweden and Poland-Lithuania, and maintaining its conquest (at least a few years) - Talk about the effects in Russia (in short, medium and...

Bóg, Honor, Wolność, Ojczyzna! Gott, Ehre, Freiheit, Vaterland! (God, Honour, Liberty, Fatherland!) Dieu, Roi, Droit! (God, King and Law!) My very own attempt at a collaborative Timeline based on maps, lists, infoboxes, and other types of graphics. It is inspired by the successes of @Kanan...

Original thread on the Russian AH site fai.org.ru (link) A very interesting scenario, in my opinion, which could have knock-on effects for all of Eastern Europe, especially since the Thirty Years War is only 30 years away at this point, and the Time of Troubles even nearer. Thoughts?
