  1. How would Feudalism develop in North Africa?

    So let's say that a North African christian kingdom or two emerges in North Africa in a somewhat similar manner that occurs in Iberia with the Reconquista. How exactly would a North African kingdom be politically structured? Is it safe to say that the Berbers would organize themselves as in...

  2. AHC/WI: Capetian Holy Roman Emperor

    Exactly what the title says. Bonus points if the Holy Roman Emperor is also simultaneously King of France. Extra credit if it is someone other than Francis I.

  3. Rugiet leo in occidente Iuda: A history of Africa

    Timeline of the history of Afriqa •1100 BC -- Phoenicians begin colonizing North Africa with the founding of Outih (Utica). •814 BC -- Qart Hadrasha (Carthage) founded by Tyrian colonists. •6th c. BC -- Carthaginian control extends to Morocco, Libya, Sardinia, Malta and the Balearic Is...

  4. AHC: Romano-Berber rump state

    While there's been talk of surviving Roman Africa prior, much of the discussion has been a surviving Western Empire. What would be the least drastic changes needed for a remnant of Roman Africa to survive the Muslim conquest? Could a small state exist in the fringes of Mauritania or Numidia...

  5. AHC/WI: Poland stays independent

    There's been little love for Poland on this board, so I've decided to try and move ahead with a tl idea. Suppose Poland manages to survive the 18th Century as an independent entity, what would be the ramifications of such? I've had François Louis, the Prince of Conti as a POD in managing to...

  6. AHC/WI: Christian Turks?

    I'm a bit spotty on Turkish history, but one idea that always interested me was the idea of some of the Turks moving into Anatolia being Christian. How could this be plausible? It could be any Eastern branch, Nestorian, Orthodox, etc. If said Turks managed to form a strong state, what would...

  7. AHC: South Vietnam conquers North Vietnam

    Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to have an anti-communist South Vietnam conquer and reunify with the communist North Vietnam with a POD around 1945. Bonus points if said invasion is done with minimal outside intervention (e.g. American arms shipments but no marines).

  8. WI: ARVN gets Nickel Grass

    This is inspired by Emperor Norton's thread about how long could America stay in Vietnam OTL. Essentially, handwaving any likely objections by congress over continued involvement in Southeast Asia, what would be the outcome of the 1975 Spring Offensive if the United States honored its commitment...

  9. AHC: More resilient Poland in WWII

    How exactly could the Polish military be better equipped to deal with the initial German invasion in 1939? This doesn't necessarily mean that they repel them from Poland, but could they manage to put up a better defensive campaign than OTL? I remember reading that the major problem that Poland...

  10. Considering the Impossible: A Bourbon unified Italy

    Any suggestions?

  11. Can the Bourbons unify Italy?

    With a POD of the beginning of the War of Spanish Succession, how can the Bourbon Dynasty gain control of all of Italy as one united kingdom?

  12. WI: Bourbon Poland?

    I know this proposal has been brought up before, but what would be the effects of François Louis, Prince of Conti becoming King of Poland instead of August II? Could the Bourbons be successful in turning the elective monarchy into a hereditary centralized state in the mold of Louis XIV? How also...

  13. The Serbs adopt Catholicism

    What kind of affect would be felt upon the Balkans if the Serbs adopted Catholicism and the Latin alphabet instead of Eastern Orthodoxy and Cyrillic? Would we see a cohesive Serbo-Croatian identity, and possibly a greater Serbo-Croatian state?

  14. A lasting July Monarchy?

    What kind of impact would France have on Europe if the Second Republic never supplanted Louis-Philippe?
