This isn't a TL as much as it is a general discussion of pre 1900 AH(or some periods therof.

Anyway certain historical events, regions, and patterns had such a great impact having them not happen would dramatically change how history proceeded.

One example is no Islam-Islam's impact on history is hard to understate and having no Islam means the writer of a TL is free to basically use their imagination after a maybe a century of extrapolating.

And that is what a lot of TLs are-extrapolations, research, and imagination.

What other periods, events, personas, and patterns if changed or butterflied away would have a similar impact-meaning that writing about the lack of them is very hard after a maybe a century of "well things were going in this direction so this is reasonable".

Thoughts?
