  1. Challenge: Make the Mongols invade Western Europe

    What prestige would there be in conquering Europe? Europe could offer neither the riches nor prestige that the Middle East, China, or India did. Compared to them, it was still a feudal backwater (on the whole).

  2. AH Challenge: African-American President before 1914

    I don't think that would be possible without a civil war happening. It's kinda hard to be both legally a citizen and someone else's property at the same time. I think it would be possible for the court not to deny citizenship to free blacks living in the North, but that doesn't help up a whole...

  3. State of the Dominican Republic?

    It probably wouldn't become a state until much later. The US didn't allow Hawaii to become a state (with a non-white majority) until the late 1950s. Likely, Dominica would remain a territory for a long time, while the standard of living rises and it become more assimilated (or not) into American...

  4. What if this is included in the United states constitution?

    Such an article wouldn't fly. The big states like Virginia and New York would not ratify a document containing a provision for sectioning themselves at an arbitrary limit without a pretty damn good rationalization.

  5. Map Thread IV

    Soo...much...pretty...

  6. Giuseppe Garibaldi: US Major General, Commander of the Army

    I am reminded of a Crowning Post of Awesome from SHWI:

  7. Giuseppe Garibaldi: US Major General, Commander of the Army

    Unless economic conditions in the South that drove many Italians to emigrate are majorly different, the number of immigrants should be relatively. However, I can see a much less restrictionist policy in the USA regarding Italian immigrants.

  8. Cross & Crescent

    Blarg. It's on hiatus until I have more time and figure out what to do with it.

  9. As Befits a King - The Brainstorm

    Central Asia is always fun to pillage.

  10. Aragon Makes Spain

    I PMed Leo about the linguistic effects of such a union a couple of months ago. Here's what he had to say: If the Aragonese take Italy OTOH, it's reasonable for them to grow closer in language.

  11. AH dream scenerio

    How do the Mexicans get flamethrowers in the mid-19th century? (If that is what we're going by...)

  12. Roman Numerals?

    I thought it was Fibonacci who introduced Arabic numerals? Are you proposing that they never make it to Europe, or that the Europeans never adopt the numerals? If the later, you need to have them replaced by something more efficient. The truly clumsy system was the Roman one.

  13. AH Challenge: Eastern Orthodox (Russian-style) Japan

    Ahem...Zajir beat you to it: https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=100440

  14. DBWI: the Peking olympics started yesterday!

    Hmm...it appears Songhay has won the first stage of Death Race, taking out their lead competitors from Aztequa and Eire.

  15. DBWI: the Peking olympics started yesterday!

    The Sicilians seem to be shoe-ins for the the Gentleman's Quartet: Shooting, Horseback Riding, Sword Fighting, and Ballroom Dancing.

  16. 'Bzyantium' empire is still viewed by western europe as the roman empire

    I can't see the last two for two reasons. Neither area had a pre-Roman Greek population (besides Massalia) that survived in large numbers. Also, both had multiple geographic degrees of separation from Greece, while Italy only had the Adriatic.

  17. UCS Map Thread Proposal

    IIRC, the Venice color has been used as a border outline. Sicily has one in the medieval period. Genoa had one at one point.

  18. More Successful Frederick II

    Indeed it is on here. IIRC, it uses a longer-liver Henry, which leads to a more successful Frederick.

  19. UCS Map Thread Proposal

    The begining of the French Revolution.

  20. UCS Map Thread Proposal

    No, I don't believe so, but IIRC Hapsburg made a key a while back with those on it. We've actually added quite a few more countries than were on the original key (frex many of the classical societies weren't on there to begin with; only their modern counterparts) but have used the same colors...
