  1. Why no Austro-Ottoman detente in the 19th century?

    The Ottomans and the Austrians are no historical friends as we all know, but wouldn't the early 19th century have been a prime moment for some kind of detente in the face of nationalism? The Austrians were well aware of the ethnic tensions they were facing in Hungary, as were the Ottomans in...

  2. AHC: Make Tawantinsuyu A Crown of Spain

    Exactly as it says in the title. How would you go about changing things so that the title of a native empire is listed as one of the crowns of the Kings of Spain, and can you actually make this mean something with respect to the administration of Spanish South America?

  3. AHC: 'Standard' Spanish ala Standard Italian?

    We know that on unification, only 2.5% of Italy's population could speak standardized Italian, but from there, a native unifying language arose which helped glue the Italians together to form a more united nation. On the other hand, we have the Iberian peninsula which has shifted in various...

  4. Could the Inca play off the Europeans?

    Assuming that the Inca manage to repel the first attempts by the Spanish through your POD of choice that results in a vastly different confrontation between them: A) Huayna Capac or Ninan Cuyochi don't die from smallpox B) Huascar dies from smallpox C) Atahualpa dies from smallpox D)...

  5. Most Widespread Asian Diaspora Possible In Latin America

    Basically, I've been thinking about how the Latin American countries with the biggest populations of Asian origin(Brazil, Peru, Mexico) are all relatively small; most of the rest of Latin America has a minor to insignificant number of Asian-origin citizens. How big could the presence of Asians...

  6. Sources for the Spanish Conquest of the Inca?

    Hello AH.com, I have been here for a while...and I need you help. I have an essay coming up and I need sources for the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire. What's a good read on the subject, preferably online? I may know some things, and a fair bit about the Inca, but a refresher is always helpful.

  7. Negation of Disease?

    What could be done as early as historically possible to negate the effects of plague and disease? I'm wondering this after seeing the death tolls from the Plague of Justinian and the Black Death, and finally realizing just how much it screwed the potential of the Mediterranean and shifted power...

  8. AH WI/Challenge: Hitler and Zoroastrianism?

    I don't think or believe this is plausible. I'm letting you all know that right now. But let's not forget, Hitler wasn't the most sane individual. How would you go about having Hitler connect his 'Aryan' beliefs with Zoroastrianism? Big stretch yes, but the history of the Aryans and of the...

  9. AH Challenge: Aachen as the capital of Germany?

    My challenge basically revolves around making German unification occur in a way that results in Aachen becoming the capital of Germany over Berlin, Vienna, Frankfurt, Hamburg, or any other German city. I really don't have a POD in mind, but I've been curious why the Germans never considered it...

  10. Plausible?: Justinian goes East?

    Seriously, this is an honest question. I don't want to get flamed for asking an honest question. There's a reason I stick to South America. Anyway, Is there a possibility of Justinian clawing his way east and taking large chunks of/all of Persia over heading westwards? What made him decide to...

  11. North America in your TL

    We don't need 15,000 threads for each individual country/province/state/neighberhood, do we? Keep anything like that over here, so that we can still actually find threads. :o

  12. Muhammad Ali's Egypt a Meiji-like nation?

    I've always though it VERY possible that Muhammad Ali and his descendants could have turned Egypt into the first of many nations that could have a Meiji-like rise of power. To benefit them over Japan: -close to Europe -access to more resources than Japan -has more prestige to it's name than...

  13. WI: A colonial power was shrewd and they.....

    decided to attempt to industrialize their colonies? Spain always kept industry away from the Americas, the British beat back India's economy with cheap material goods, the Congo was used as a resource extraction zone, and China was split into zones of influence that made China's economy weaker...

  14. Extreme AH Challenge: Nazi Germany allies with the Allies

    ....against the Soviet Union. I'm not saying happy buddy, we'll tolerate extermination and conquest, type of allies, but a mutual fight against the Soviet Union. My challenge is truly for the Soviet Union to be so big of a threat that Nazi Germany turns around and invades Russia. POD can be the...

  15. How small can the eastern bloc be?

    How realistically small could the Eastern Bloc have been during the Cold War? I believe at several opportunities, Hungary, Poland, and Czechoslovakia could have been reached first by the Allies based on change of strategy during WWII. Is it possible to have Bulgaria and Romania outside of the...

  16. WI: United States of Greater Austria?

    I was bored on wikipedia, so I decided to read a bit on the Hapsburgs, then the HRE,.....then Austria....Austria-Hungary.....and I finally came to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_of_Greater_Austria In it, it details a plan that Franz Ferdinard, the Archduke of Austria had, which was...

  17. AH Challenge: Timbuktu remains wealthy and powerful up to present day

    The challenge? Timbuktu, a city that was once one of the most prosperous and advanced of civilization eventually fell when the Portuguese discovered the Cape of Good Hope and several other trading routes to bypass Timbuktu during the spice trade and the slave trade. The challenge is to have...

  18. Look What This Friendship has Caused!-A TL

    Don't expect too much, this is my first timeline. :o I HAVE DONE A COMPLETE REVISION. Please tell me if you consider this an improvement(and more realistic) than what had previously been up. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure on the population statistics of Constantinople, but I believe I read...

  19. Plausibility check: Catholicism and Judaism

    Well, for a long time, I've always wanted to do a TL. I've been reading on this site for quite a while, and today at church an idea struck me. What are the chances of a Pope in the 1300s having very good relations with jews throughout his life and preaching tolerance? I was hoping to have the...

  20. How big can the Soviet Union get?

    I've been trying to read up on possible Soviet expansion, and assuming the revolution is carried out in the same date with a POD post-1918, how large could the Soviet Union possibly get?
