Just like the other posts we've got a timeline in which the Mongol Conquests only lasted from 1236 to 1241 after which they are driven back to Central Asia. From that point on they have no influence outside Central Asia. There is no Black Death in this timeline. I was wondering how the Eastern Roman Empire would fare in this situation?
Europeans are much stronger without any lasting Mongol Influence. The Sultanate of Rum, to which the ERE was losing prior to the Mongol Invasions was also left intact in this timeline. Would the ERE plausibly be able to reach a stalemate in this timeline or would they be swept away by the Rum advance? If the ERE can reach a stalemate, could it ever recover afterwards and break the stalemate?
If Rum overcomes the ERE where does it go from there? Does it advance into Central Europe north into Central Europe or attack the Italian Peninsula? Does it attack the other nations in the Middle East? How long might Rum last and how successful would it be?
