  1. Johann VII of Mecklenburg-Schwerin commits suicide in 1587

    Johann VII killed himself in 1592. But if he kills himself in 1587, it happens before his kids was born and his estate goes to his uncle Ulrich. Ulrich in OTL had only one daugther who married the king of Denmark, his position as Lutheran Administrator of Schwerin was inherited by his...

  2. How do we get Poland to convert to Protestantism?

    I was thinking what POD do we need to make Poland to convert. It is necessary it happens before the counter-reformantion (simply because I see it as almost impossible afterward). I think it's better it also happens before Calvinism become popular in Poland, simply because Lutheranism are...

  4. France give full citizenship to the population of Algeria in 1870

    In OTL the Jews got full citizenship in France in the French Revolution. So what if the 3rd Republic get inspired by the 1st, and extend the franchise to the Muslims living in Algeria.

  5. Tamerlane follow a scorched earth tactic in Anatolia

    What would the effect be if Tamerlane depopulated much of Anatolia both from Greeks and Turks, Muslims and Christians? Would we see the Armenians and Turks recolonise the Anatolian highland, would the Ottomans recolonise it with Slavs, Vlachs, Greeks and maybe Arabs? Beside how would a...

  6. Frederick VII (of Denmark) produce a son

    Frederick VII of Denmark lack of legitime heir was the excuse for the Schleswig Wars. While the the conflict could still happen, whether the German Federation could or would intervene without this excuse is the greater question. As I see it, if the conflict still happens, we will likely see a...

  7. Austrian tank before WWI

    http://www.landships.freeservers.com/burstyn_tank.htm What if the Austrian build some of these "landships" before WWI. What effect would it have on the war? Personal they look rather well adapted to trench warfare, of course the Austrians wasn't at many trench warfare fronts, but German...

  8. Germanic Normandy would it have any effect?

    If Normandy ended up Germanic speaking would it have any effect on medieval history, or would we just see history unfold like in OTL just with some different languages? If we see it from a purely linguistic POW, the language the Normans would speak would be old Danish with some extended...

  9. Denmark-Norway under the Lorraines

    In OTL the overthrown Christian II of Denmark daugther Christina married Duke Francis I of Lorraine. Christina never gave up her claim to Denmark. So what if for some reason the Danish nobles get so tired with Christian III or Frederik II, that they decide another attempt with changing kings. I...

  10. Austria defeat the Ottomans in the Russo-Austrian-Turkish War (1735–1739).

    I was thinking how could Austria win this rather disasterous war? For gain I think what would later become Danube(Tuna) Vilayet would be likely plus the Danube principalities. (thanks to Abdul) Why this area, because it's easier to control than Bosnia with the transportion at the time. A...

  11. The Habsburg keep Württemberg

    In 1519 the Swabian League drove Ulrich of Württemberg (whom was under a imperial ban) out of his duchy and sold it Charles V. Ulrich reconquered it from Charles in 1534, and it was recognised in 1536. So what if Ulrichs conquest fails, maybe Ulrich dies in a accident before 1534.

  12. Slightly mad idea; the Wettins trade Saxony for Silesia

    I was thinking with August II the Strong as King of Poland could we see him trade Saxony with the Habsburg for Silesia? For the Wettins it would mean that their possessions are connected, while for the Habsburg it would ease the trade between their domains (Saxony and Bohemia are part of the...

  13. Venetian Morea => more stable Ottoman Empire?

    It may seem a weird idea, but I was thinking if Venice kept Morea it would lead to the Ottoman Greeks being more loyal to the Ottoman state.

  14. Stanisław Leszczyński stay king of Poland in 1709

    What would the effect be if Stanisław Leszczyński stayed Polish king. Would we see any reforms, or would it just be business as usual, with Poland continuing its trip to the abyss?

  18. Earlier development of aluminium.

    I must admit chemistry aren't my strongest point, but I have a question about the development of aluminium. How early can aluminium be produced at first, and at that point are Hall–Héroult process technological possible? Could we see both decades earlier, or was they both only developed at the...

  19. Question about slavery on Hispaniola

    Beside the greater French focus on developing the sugar plantage French Hispaniola (Haiti) than the Spanish on their part; are there any climatic, geographic or other factors which would keep the easten part of island from being as heavily developed (in term of slave population and sugar...

  20. The Hohenzollerns gain Posen a century earlier

    *By greater Poland it's likely meant the Voivodeship of Kalisz and Poznań (more or less the later Posen) How do we succeed in letting Brandernburg gain "Greater Poland". I can see two different possibilities. Brandenburg doesn't change side and the Swedes get a better peace; the result...
