In this timeline,we talk about the expansion of the Balto-Slavic peoples into the Steppes,Central Asia,parts of Altai regions and Tajikistan,River valleys in Afghanistan and even into India,even parts of Mongolia. They change the demographics of all these regions because of them conquering and settling them. The POD is around 300AD when the Mongols had still not expanded. Eventually,they tame the Huns(Turkic) and Mongols and take them in. What would this huge Slavic East have as effects on later developments? Romans? Persians? India? Arabs? Could they reach Americas from the East?

Another point: They could conquer Arabia and influence Persia as well as they have dominated Central Asia and India though not majority yet in the latter. Tocharians are joined into a confederation as well.
 
I know they had separated. But suppose they created a large confederation to spread and conquer parts of the East.
Both the Balts and the Slavs lacked the level of societal organization and infrastructure technology needed to create a confederation from the Baltic to the Caspian and then lead such a confederation to conquer up to India.

Impossible with a 300 AD POD.

Okay,then suggest a POD date suitable. I would love to see a Successful Statem speaking peoples' empire in the East. Indo-Iranian empires in Central Asia were snuffed out,Persian Empire conquered,Scythians,Sogdians,Khotanese,Bactrians,Indo-Aryan Mitanni all became extinct. I would like to make a timeline where the ones who caused such destruction(Huns and Mongols) are overrun by the Baltic and Slavic people or even Germanic and Celtic peoples(they would be discussed in an another timeline) and assimilated and tamed before they do such things and hence totally avoiding all that.
