I thinking of doing a timeline. Either;

1. When the Ottomans capture Constantinople, there is a growing fondness among the upper class for the Orthodox Byzantines. The Janissaries are encouraged to cultivate their Christian faith, while the Marmeluks serve as a Muslim counter balance in Egypt. This later leads to an Ottoman Civil war. But anyway, before that. the christians in Europe aren't majorly pissed at the Ottomans for holding sway over the Holy Lands. The Ottomans focus all attention on Persia. Failing the first time, they succeed the second. After this Austria is captured and th Ottomans hammertime it to the Rhine. The French and stuff can use this against the Spanish HREmperor. I dont really know what I'm gonna do with that. But I know the Spanish will be pissed BIG time. The Hapsburgs move their Capitol to Prague. This Germanic influence spreads out from the city into the hinterland, and Czech nationalism is butterflied away.

What I dont know about this is the Spanish reaction to an Ottoman Germany.
AND what happens to the line of rulers? If Sulieman is made sultan, future rul.ers may not have interest in Persia.

2. My next idea is an Alternate History of the Netherlandsesque, an Alternate History of Germany. In this I want an early German Unification. And I want a German Colonial Empire to rival, and eventuallt beat the British. I dont want a Hitler. Or at least an American Hitler caused by his parents moving to 'Merica.
