I`m working on a Korean Manchuria TL in which one of the effects is that the Liao dynasty is never pushed west by the Jin. This means, from what I've learned, that the Battle of Qatwan never happens, which means the Seljuk Turks remain powerful longer than OTL.
This would have quite big implications, but, I know little to nothing about middle eastern history in this time period, so I need more knowledgeable people to help me (I was not aware of how important this battle was, and don't know enough to extrapolate butterfly effects).
Important (but not the only) question: what happens to the ottomans?
Would mongol invasions be enough to break up Anatolia and create basically the same situation there as OTL? Or does this become a no Ottomans TL (which I think I could do, it would just shift this TL's focus into Europe quite a bit)?
