2000 Years of Barbarians

Fall of Rome
BC 100 - AD 200
POD:
The Last Decades of United Rome were Horrible. Hunnic Hordes pushing through the East pushed the Slavs to move, the slavs started to displace push other tribal societies southwards and westwards, cuasing a large upwards of populations in the roman border regions. This caused rioting in the fringe territores till the empeoror, Tiberius, said that the empire was uncontrolable in AD20, and split it in half.

The Hunnic empire was on the rise, in only a few years almost all of non-roman europe was under control of the Huns. The eastern areas in asia controled by the huns fell out of control, and soon the Huns were stuck in europe.

With a shreaded Rome and the Invadeding Huns, the empire was invad eby hordes of barbarian refugees seeking a home. Small Tribal kingdoms emerged from these groups. The Goths in Scandinavia Stayed in there home territory, just trying to stay aliave from the Jute-Angelic Invaders form the south. The Vandals, Franks, Burgundians, Lombards, and many other Germanic tribes took down northern Hispania and Gaul. The Visigoths and Ostrogoths Setteled in Modern Bulgaria and Croatia. Emen the Celts built a small island empire for themselves.

Carthage was able to regain independance in this bedlum, while persia was able to invade antanolia and sercure territory from the byzantines. Egypt was able to keep sovereignty.

I'm not sure what you were intending here and not that I want to dissuade you from writing but most of those tribes don't exist during the reign of Tiberius, or at least not in the exact same form. Carthage is dead at this point, totally, the ground being salted in the city itself and a new city growing up near by full of Roman colonists. Splitting the empire earlier is an interesting idea though.
 
Age of Christianty and Holy Rome
AD 200 - AD 700

In the Chaos, the minority religion of Rome, Christanity, was able to infulence the Populous. Far away from the Middle East, in Gaul, the Franks and Burgundians already decided on having Christanity as a main religion right after the fall of rome. The Religon quickly spready once the burgundians gained large power in western europe.

Once the Huns fell in 250, The Burgundians were able to quickly spread the faith in the form of Holy Rome, a recreation of the Roman goverment under the Burgundians. Holy Rome quickly grew into the second largest empire in europe by 600.

The Slavs, after the apression of the Huns ended, also created an empire. "Grand Rus", as it is called in the modern time, united eastern europe.

The Jute-Angelic Empire was a great power for a period of time. The JAE converted to Christianity in 320. They were the lords of the sea, taking aldn in Denmark, Norway, Northern Germany, the Netherlands, France, and England, but started to decay around after 500 AD, with the loss of France, England, and Norhtenr Germany, Earlier than that a Jute Nation called "Denamrk" declared soverenity over jutland, and invaded Gothic Estonia and Latvia.

The Gothic nation split apart, with "Sweden" in the original terriotry and small states in Finland and Karelia.These nations would last till the modern era.

The Sejuc Turks wanted a slice of the European pie, and ravaged Persia and the Middle east, destorying the remains of Eastern Rome and anilating Persia. Around this rime The Caliphate and Islam came into Existance. Persia, Eastern Rome, and the Turks stoped the Calipahte from taking out to much territory, stopping the spread of islam. Vandal, Lombard, and Carthaginian invasions of Iberia and Italy caused the end of Western rome. Establishing kingdoms in the lands.

In the Northern Wastes, a new religon arose one century after islam. Permialia would be very important in the next era.

So what could cause the Huns to invade centuries earlier?

I've read that weather anomalies was one of the causes of the Migration Period, along with pressure from other tribes on the Huns.
 
So that's your POD, I assume?

Would they be forced to go west earlier by surrounding tribes as in OTL (IIRC)?


Does IIRC mean "If I Really Care"?

A combination of the Barbarian movements and the early Hunnic Invasion causes them ( The Germanic peoples + Western slavs) to flee, to be subjugated or todie.
 
Setting Foundations
AD 700 - AD 1100

In Four Hundred years national borders would start being set, as the barbarian kingdoms went through reforms. In Iberia, the Vandals reformed there barbarian territories into the states of Lisboa and Hispania, a only for a small period hold control of the north, which would be conquer till the modern era by the Basques.


Holy Rome had some bad problems.The Permialians quickly sacked Stockholm, Riga, Berlin, even reaching as far west as denmark, before being pushed back into Russia.Polish nationalist were able to create Pola in the sacked lands of Holy Rome and Grand Rus. 90 years later, the empire collpased, whihc would start the creation of Germany.

Othstria, A name that after a few hundred years was corrupted into Austria, became an empire in the Balkans, but was soon pushed out of the balkans and into Northern europe.

The battered Jute-angelic empire was almost on the verge of complete destruction. They were stuck in britain after losing Norway to the Scandinavians. These peoples would become England.

The turks took out most of the balkans till the end of the 11th Century, when they collpased. A greak state formed in antanolia after there fall.

AD 1100:

This is way too much like our timeline... The world should be completely different. At least, in my opinion.
 
First Era of Empires
AD 1100 - AD 1492

Imperialism became common in europe in he First era of empires. Once Austria took out bohemia and Germany was reunited, Holy rome became united under 3 empires: Pola, Austria, and Germany.

The Permalians were peacefull ill Nicolai the Great came to power. THis started the great age for Permialia, when the nations would take land to the east from the Kazakh and west from Finland, and his successours would also help create the largest nation. The Grand Baltic duchy fell apart around this time.

The Turks did`nt have there final round at the end of the 11th century, and pushed the greeks out of antanolia.

The Mongols tried to invade europe in the 13th century, but defeat by the Permalians and Turks.

The first era of Empire ended went Christopher Coloumbus, a lombard expolerer, sailed west and found the islands of the carribean.
 
Eek! The butterflies! :eek::eek:

Earlier Hunnic invasion will certainly butterfly away history as we know it. No Germany, no Austria... no Christopher Columbus. This is utterly ASB.
 
Yeah, it's a bit too close to reality that it's ASB; I'd suspect that the rise of Islam would be butterflied away by an earlier Hunnic invasion.
