A Thousand and One Years- An Islam-Dominated World circa 1900
El Cid converts to Islam and conquers Castille, resulting in Castille becoming an Islamic State. Genghis Khan never unifies the Mongols, a later Mongol leader rampages across Europe, burning Rome. The Middle East remains the center of global civilization, while the Americas are colonized by the Berber Empire/Tamazigha (successor to the Almohad Caliphate), the Malian Empire, and Castille. The Mamluks form the basis of the Egyptian nation state, which expands into Africa. Iran is the analogue of the United Kingdom- a maritime nation which becomes the world's leading superpower- after conquering Oman and Zanzibar, it expands heavily into Africa and conquers India. Among Iran's colonies are Australia, Taiwan, Hawaii, Iceland, Scotland, Jamaica, Tierra del Fuego, and Norway. This map portrays the Iranian, Malian, Berber, Seljuk, and Egyptian Empires at their respective heights, prior to decolonization and various wars of independence. The Jurchens retain political independence and linguistic/cultural distinctiveness from China and colonize Alaska and the Pacific Northwest.
