In 1471

Two major troubles faced Trebizind, Trebzind scouts encountered a strange sight, things that looked like feathers with a human appeareance bur dark skin.... at this time most beleived anything human was an angel so the scourge bowed in submission before the creature. massawago was a creek Indian and was surprised to see these strange people prostrating before him, Realizing they might not understand his language he made hand gestures and soon the group conversed with each other, and soon they left becoming friends, This Native was the son of the cheif and would succeed the creeks.
Meanwhile back in Anatolia Trebizond and Mameluke forces met at caesaria to decide who would triumph....
 
Late 1

Trebizond crushed the Mamelukes at Caesaria and soon began a counteroffensive. Led by Androniko Kommenos the second oldest child beneath Maria led victories crushing Mameluke forces.

late 1472

India: Rajputana succeeds in sacking Delhi, the end have fallen, while most of Northern India is under Rajputana led by king Narayan II.Soon Bengal was invaded and a fierce war broke out beetween rajputana and Bengal.



Novgorod Decides to colonize Siberia so the first colonies are sent....
Novgorod invades Astrakhan and Nogai seizing both area, Novgord soo
n becomes a major power.



In France Louis is dead but because he had no children Maria Kommenos who was the eldest daughter of Michele Valois was the candidate for the French crown, although many Christians resented this, they were content as long as nothing changed and France ran it's own affairs...... Z

1473-1480 part I of the crisis of 16th century lasting till 1589
In florida the Colonies have become prospourous. Led By he Governr John, Nova Constantinpolis was soon the rchest city in the colony, and daily large shipments of hoods were being transferred to the Home Country, and all was perfect..... However this was when a terrible time came upon Trebixond, Most Historians agree that it was during this time the Empire became its weakeast. MAria fell ill with a terrible disease, and soon she passed away.... However she had no son, meaning that their was no heir to the throne of Trebizond, the crown was vacant...... This would prove to be a decicive factor in the Time of troubles, Soon various factions arose acreoss trebi\zond jockeying for power, while the various allies and vassels soon tried to gain some control over the glorious nation...... These factions arose mainly due to the fact that since their was no heir to the throne, the cfrown could go to anyone.... The various generals soon split up the empire as each carved their own fiefdom all with the intent to become king..... Cheif among these was the general Nikephoros, now Nikephoros realized that should he sseixze power he must wipe out all opposition so he invades with his army, Soon other factions arise, including the workers freedom movement, the great Question movement, the Aristocracy supremacy.... All these various factions jocke for power and for over a century Byzantium will be thrown into chaos, leaving a fourth of the population dead, and an empire in shambles, surrounded by hostile neighbors...... Now The workers movemnt was led by the brilliant Bryiennois who was a general who rose by merit who wanted workers freedom in the movement, another was the great question led by Patriarch of Konstantinople calling for geater control by the papacy, while the Frenh faction remained loyal to Maria's Husband, who fled the capital realizing the danger, now all of trebizond was in chaos, the Nobility were led by Andreas Dolestovoy a rich DUke he wanted the aristocracy to regain absoulute power........ The ANatolii saw with growing concern and soon underground deals were made beetween various factions, it ws a terrible site, Brother fought Brother, Father fought mother, friends fought each other, it was crazy how all these people were at each others throats. It was quite shocking what was going on at the brutality, many lay strewn on the floor, cities collapsed into Anarchy and the wars raged fiercly beetween all these factions leaving no one untouched by the madness,
Rafiki a chronicler describes the time period, his accounts show a terrifing macabre world:
" It was funney how under the great Alexius the empire lay in glory, but the problem was thta Their was no proper succesor to MAria and so the country fell into anarchy, It is a terrible time where i live, Nikephoros has laid seige to many coastal towns, while other towns collapse into anarchy, i write this from underground as i see the terrible events unfold around me, Friends brutally kill each other, Various gangs supporting the different factions have fored and all murder each other, the governor has been overthrown and tarrede while the whole cities lie in anarachy, the royal army now has become vile mercinaries who sell their services to the highest payer, thus is the situation which i live in, I long for the glory days of the past, which sadly seem so far away.... Tis a shame, even worse is the fact that the colonies have lost contact with us, we lie in chaos the capital city once boasting greatness now lies in shambles, it is not safe to walk in the streets lest you get stabbed by fanatics, Ive seen little boys get killed for just walking around, seen people get robbed off their goods, while the Aristocracy and the workers fight, the ROyal gaurd has fled the capital and is in hiding at France, till a vitor is crowned, for these unexpected turn of events shocked us, while the prince consort Fled back to Novgorod, The situation is bleak, we live in a dark time...." From these accounts Historians realize that the Crisis of the 16th century shook trebizond to the core.....


What do people think of it so far....
 
Bumpow!!!!! is anyone still following the TL.... Any ideas to make the tl better.... Plz tell me.... Ty :):)
Trebizond
in Florida
By the end of 1473 nearly all of Florida was bustling with cities and forts to defend it
Trebizond
Trebizond


Well it's really ASB....
 
Well fine....... what if we ignor those posts is It still ASB we covet about the colonies and stuff, would that make it more plausable....
I would say restart it.

To give Trebizond a chance at plausibly expanding or even just surviving, have Tamerlane completely dismantle the Ottoman Empire (but, have them do it when they did OTL--the thing with Anna allying with the Timurids is ASB). The Timurid Empire would collapse soon after his death, which would bring even more chaos. Then Trebizond and the Eastern Roman Empire could ally and conquer small parts of Anatolia. Maybe later unite and restore the Eastern Roman Empire, but then Trebizond wouldn't exist anymore.

However I don't think Trebizond could ever colonize the Americas.

Ahh but you see I made it plausable because, Of Alexius, if you followed tl he was basically a character who is a genius, which is not ASB de to the random genius that pop up every now and then, Hannibal, Alexander, Genghis Khan, etc.. Also about Anna allying the only reason they allied was because then Tamerlane would have easier access to strike down Ottomams plus she offers him a fortune and with keeping The Ottomans occupied he gets a lot of Money that Trebizond made due to it's strategic location on the silk road..... Then read Alexius backstory so..... It can't be ASB, any other situation it would be but for Trebizond I just gave it a reforming genius that occurs rarely in history..... However I agree with you about coloniZation that was just ASB...

The first two people were leaders of medium-size states and expanded those states into huge empires. Genghis Khan was the leader of a small tribe, but he conquered other small tribes first before expanding his now medium-sized state into a huge empire.

Why not just have the less-ASB way of Trebizond surviving happen, the one I suggested, then have a great leader like that expand Trebizond to a large empire? (then not expand too much after that because it would have to assimilate a lot of Muslim non-Greek land)

Trebizond could always have the chance to conquer much of the Crimea and keep it relatively Hellenized. Asides from that, they were just a Greek island in a slowly Turkifyng sea.

But the area was split, Georgia was in itws decline, The golden Horde was in its death throes, due to Timor the Ottomans are now expelled from Anatolia, the current sultan of ANatolii, is ALexius childhood friend, as is the Koyolu sultan, ALexius creates a unbeatable army composition as you can see of Heavy knights, horse calvary, pikeman, and infantry and He is expanding......... So it is not ASB
