Alright here is the challenge with a POD no earlier than the 16th century find a way for at leas one barbary state to survive.... What would the ramifications be and how would this affect history....
Btw I honestly believe out of all the African powers the Barbary states had the most potential, next to the ottomans they were the closest to modernization, so I am wondering what if the barbarystates lasted to at least otl 2000 is it plausable??? Plus I believe they had te best chance to become a first world country.
