The circumstances which lead to the conversion of Persia to Twelver Shiism are many, but I believe they can be divided into four major “gates” 1. An existing shia community with a relatively clear ideological niche (longstanding shia communities in Iran, a well converted Bahrain, no Fatimid or...

This is strictly speaking, a butterfly in my TL where Timur has only one Caucasus campaign after returning from vassalizing Golden horde. His west asian campaign such as those against Mamlukes and Ottomans are also butterflied. A Georgia that is not punching bag of Timur in this time has a lot...

IOTL, Timur (Tamerlane) planned to conquer China and already organized an army for that purpose. However, those plans were suspended when Tamerlane died in 1405 (In fact, he died en route to China and had already begun a military campaign against the Ming). But what if they succeeded. For the...

Part of the walls surrounding Otrar (or its Arg?) March 1405 AD / Ramadan 807 AH. The town of Farab/Otrar, situated along the banks of the Syr Darya. Within the orchards of the town trees and bushes were brimming with fruits, flowers, and berries, and within the streets walked merchants...

In 1405, Timur—the last great nomadic conqueror—died on the way to his last campaign, that of restoring Mongol rule in China. His armies were largely unbeaten on the field, having devastated western Eurasia from Russia to Delhi. He also had as his client Bunyashiri, a legitimate Toluid prince...

This is, strictly speaking, a butterfly of my tl that I'm considering expanding on. I'll spare the details but suffice to say the timurid empire seems impossible at this point and the ilkhanate collapse earlier. Meaning the golden horde doesn't get smacked around and weakened for the rus to take...

Timur's reign is largely considered to have been quite detrimental to Ottoman expansion and the survival of the Golden Horde and Delhi Sultanates. What would some of the outcomes have been had he not come to power?

what if Timur conquered Delhi sultanate, Ottoman Empire, Golden horde and Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt ? how would this affect history ? OTL Timur defeated ,Sacked and sent in to civil war all of them He could've easily conquered them by exploiting those civil wars this time does that and...

I don't know much about the Timurids but I expect that this would be nigh impossible to do. But say all of the Ming's top generals and administrators get a sudden case of stupid just as Timur starts his campaign and the madman actually manages to pull it off. What happens afterwards?

Timur, or Tamerlane, was a highly important character in European, Asian, and Old World history, establishing a new empire that greatly influenced the area, being the last truly great steppe empire, although future ones would exist, they got increasingly outgunned by sedentary opponents, though...

So, in OTL the ottomans were basically annihilated, and the sultan was captured while his sons were able to escape. What would change if Timur captures as well all the osmanoglu and thus killing the ottoman royal family? I assume that while the Anatolian region will face a long civil war for the...

Your challenge is to have Bayezid I get the better of Timur, rather than the other way around.

What if Tokhtamysh doesn’t attack Timur territories in the Caucasus and Persia. So no war with Timur means more heavily populated Golden Horde as Timur completely razed Golden Horde cities and killing, enslaving population. So how does longer surviving Golden Horde impact Russia, Eastern Europe...

Timur was preparing for a war against the Ming dynasty when he died in 1405. What if he'd survived to carry out his planned invasion? EDIT: Sorry, wrong forum. Could a mod please move this?

While it's not clear exactly how Timur received the injuries that earned him the epithet "the Lame", what is clear is that the circumstances under which he received them could easily have killed him. Suppose they did kill him. How might things have changed?

The question is in the title. What if Timur also known as Timur-i-Lang or Tamerlane never became the brutal conqueror he was in OTL. His wake on Asia fundamentally changed Eurasian and all of World history. He was infamous for his brutality and known for his patronage of Persian and Islamic...

As the title says, an Imperial China ruled by the Timurids. What happens if Tamerlane or one of his successors conquered China and ruled the Middle Kingdom, similar to Mongol Yuan and Manchu Qing? How China would looked like under Timurid rule? Would it be like the Chinese version of Mughal Empire?

Historically, the short-lived Ottoman Sultanate ruled over large swathes of the Balkans and Western Anatolia in the last years of the 14th Century but Timur's invasion put an end to the nascent Ottoman Sultanate, but what if the Ottoman Sultanate survived Timur's invasions instead of falling...

The PoD in this tale is the marriage between “King” Jadwiga and Duke Jogaila. It doesn’t happen, and Poland’s armies cannot be brought to bear again the northern Crusaders. This is my first real scenario that I've developed, so feel more than free to levy any critiques you can think of...

The PoD is the birth of Khalil Sultan in 1384 The base of such a scenario is that the Timurid empire survives under the same dynasty, but apart from being the same dynasty and having it's capital on Samarkand, there is no other exigency Begin (useless information: I once made a friend draw...
