Both, probably. With the KMT remaining in control of China, and Sino-Soviet relations presumably fraught due to Soviet support of the CCP, the Viet Minh will probably be pretty hamstrung to finish off what remains of the VNQDD. Ho Chi Minh would probably have little choice but to mollify Chiang...

Probably depends on how much the Ilkhanate is willing to allow. They're just coming out of the defeat at Ain Jalut, and is looking at an incoming clash with the Islamized Golden Horde. Letting the Niceans strengthen their position and remove potentially rebellious Turks might be a useful short...

I mean, if you want the most inbred families in human history, you can try looking up the Ptolemies and Hapsburgs. They're rather hard to beat in that department.

Bad news for the Seljuks, no doubt.

I feel like the inverse would be possible, with Chinese migrants in Iran writing in Xiao'erjing (Perso-Arabic script for Mandarin) regardless of their religion. In any case, it's still a huge stretch for any Iranian dynasty to be fully Sinicised. The most likely, if still fairly distant...

Well, it depends on if the Baltic Fleet munity, either joining or forming the rogue government. If Yeltsin loses control the Baltic Fleet, his chances of putting down the renegades would plummet drastically. Also, it depends on how charitable the Baltic states and Poland would be in allowing...

I'd put better odds on the Soviet government surviving as a rogue state in Kaliningrad Oblast than a Central Asian rump USSR. The Soviet Union is dead the moment its core member and federal capital secedes. If the remaining Central Asian states band together, it won't be a continuation of the...

Chiang (or whoever replaces him) would have to think very long term on this one, and accept that defeating the Communists would take loads of time. First order of business, as other said, would be to root out the Communist spy networks and consolidate its control over the south, though winning...

Bards will sing ballads of the chad who played all sides and came out strongest, if only by the skin of his teeth.

The overlords may have changed, but the scheming never stops.

The Imjin War actually fared as well as the Toyotomi could ever hope for in real life. Joseon was plagued by court intrigues and infighting at the time, which served to cripple their military's response to the invasion and hold back Yi Sun Sin's efforts to defend the kingdom, up to being demoted...

Regardless of whether Katsuyori survives, the Takeda is done for as a major daimyo clan. Even if Katsuyori survives, the most he can do past that point is submit to the Toyotomi, or another major clan like the Tokugawa. Most likely, he'll have to stomach being a mere retainer, as other members...

I feel like Ananda could have remained emperor and established a true Muslim dynasty in China, if he had put in a lot more tact to supporting non-Muslim institutions on equal or more favourable terms than Islamic ones. Sadly, he did too much to affirm suspicions that he's a proto-Aurangzeb, too...

Nonsense! Super Earth is but a benign managed democracy dedicated to exporting freedom and liberty to the cosmos! It's the freedom-hating robots and bugs who are wrong!

Why does that panel remind me of this?
