It depends on which Eurasian disease is first introduced to the Americas and who colonises first. The Norse (via Iceland) are Naive to Smallpox proper until the 1200s OTL IIRC so they can't inoculate the natives to it. They do have a slim chance of introducing cowpox to the Americas which is...

Vestland, Vesteyjar, Angleland/England. If the scandinavians can avoid a St.Brice's massacre, the resulting 'English' culture would probably be regarded as the other Norse as "Oh god, THOSE guys". They wouldn't be a threat to the rest of the Norse cultures, they would however be considered...

Spoken by Abraham Lincoln upon his ascenscion to President of Liberia. Ironically, his rule of the country would prove to be an utter disaster, embroiling the nascent African country in wars with all of its neighbours. You stand in the presence of perfection, your awe is annoying.

Opening lines to the famous 'Liberation Day' speech of 1708, celebrating the expulsion of the English from the lands of the Dutch colonists five years prior. Nieuw Nederland would resist 'reconquest' by the English throughout the 1700s and early 1800s. It's end however would come not at the...

From the 'Punt forgeries' which were initially claimed to be last correspandence between Egypt and Punt when they were first found in 1810, however later translations noted several wildly impossible claims amongst the documents. 'The Letter to Thule' that was 'discovered' in 1845 irrevocably...
