“A victorious line of march had been prolonged above a thousand miles from the rock of Gibraltar to the banks of the Loire; the repetition of an equal space would have carried the Saracens to the confines of Poland and the Highlands of Scotland; the Rhine is not more impassable than the Nile or Euphrates, and the Arabian fleet might have sailed without a naval combat into the mouth of the Thames. Perhaps the interpretation of the Koran would now be taught in the schools of Oxford, and her pulpits might demonstrate to a circumcised people the sanctity and truth of the revelation of Muhammed.”
Edward Gibbon’s The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire
For the last few weeks I have been consumed by an inner conflict: on the one hand I am attempted to continue my World Without Mohammed (WWM) series (located at : https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=127937&highlight=World+Mohammed). However, finding inspiration both on this website and in my historical readings, I feel compelled to start a new thread aptly named the World Without Martel (WWM), an ATL in which Charles Martel never grows to full adulthood and changes the political landscape of Early Medieval Europe. I look forward to your comments and suggestions for this new ATL, all thoughts welcome.
