  1. AHC: Someone other than Napoleon goes on a 19th-century path of conquest

    I vote Agustin D'Iturbide, Jose Morelos or some older Mexican general, who somehow lead Mexico to independence 10-20 years earlier than OTL and then uses Mexico as a base to liberate Spain's other viceroyalties. If Europe is still at war with revolutionary France (but still no Napoleon) then...

  2. AH challenge: 100 million Jews

    I think Luther hated Jews even more than Catholics. He even went so far as to say that the Turks (and all other Muslims) were the fabled "Red Jews" who Alexander the great had walled off in Asia and had finally broken out to menace and destroy Christian Europe. Part of his libel against the...

  3. AH challenge: 100 million Jews

    How about the Year of the Four Emperors turns into a long, drawn out affair which sees no complete victory for any imperial contender for many years. Vespasian's inability to attain decisive victory forces him to recall Titus from the walls of Jerusalem and a more successful Batavian revolt...

  4. Map Thread VII

    Yo what is the best picture/map editor program for stuff like SVG? Gracias

  5. A new AHC

    37 and 127

  6. WI: War Plan Red had happened?

    World War II in OTL was a clear indicator that the former thassolocratic powers of western europe could not match the industrial/military output of the major terrestrial powers USA and USSR. I think the idea that canadian insurgency would pose a serious threat to american occupation and that...

  7. Which one have higher chance to conquer the world - British Empire or United States?

    As the sole nuclear power in the years 1945-49, the United States held the greatest military and economic advantage of any hegemon in history. A quick nuke to the face of moscow and beijing in these years would essentially force the whole world to bow to american wishes, thus beginning the...

  8. No Peninsular War

    In OTL Napoleon's Spanish allies were letting him traverse their territory so he could attack Portugal. He then decided to hijack Spain from the inside in a very dickish move. Had he just carried on with the plan he could have had the ports at Lisbon and Oporto and the rest of Portugal without...

  9. A more successful early Roman Empire

    I'm with Eurofed on this, guarding the much shorter and less contested Dniester-Vistula line, combined with the assimilation and development of germanic manpower would put this revived Roman empire in an excellent position for eastward expansion. By depriving the Parthian, and later Sassanid...

  10. Make Emperor Charles V MORE Universal (give him France England Poland Portugual etc)

    Charles converts to Islam and marries into the House of Osman. The combined territories of the Middle East, North Africa, the Balkans, Germany and Spain unite to crush the rest of Europe.

  11. A more successful early Roman Empire

    I think a more successful Roman Empire certainly could expand and hold onto territories in Parthia/Persia and even as far as India. I see a lot of people saying that Parthia is too big for Rome to digest, but that is only based off the fact that Parthia was Rome's one true rival in OTL. I feel...

  12. WI Hannibal Barca was Emperor of Carthage

    If Hamilcar marched on Carthage after defeating the mercenaries, or gaining their allegiance, it would be like Caesar's march on Italy except with no Pompey or other Carthaginian general/army to oppose him. With complete martial control of the city he really could decapitate the entrenched...

  13. WI Hannibal Barca was Emperor of Carthage

    I agree with you wholeheartedly that Carthage lacked the means to achieve the expansion of Rome if they were victorious. That is why this thread is not a simple "WI Hannibal Won". My theory is if there was an earlier political, social and military revolution in Carthaginian society than could...

  14. 2nd Punic War: What PLAUSIBLE ways would make Rome cry uncle?

    Scipio's attack on New Carthage in Iberia fails and he is killed. With Rome apparently losing on all fronts of the war, an even more serious dip in moral takes root. Two or three of the unopposed Carthaginian armies in Iberia immediately move to reinforce Hannibal in Italy. With multiple...

  15. WI Hannibal Barca was Emperor of Carthage

    Gaul was highly disunited and did not gain any measure of sophistication for hundreds of years after the Punic Wars. The titanic struggle between Rome and Carthage, in hindsight, decided which power would eventually become the masters of the Mediterranean. A decisive Carthaginian victory and...

  16. WI Hannibal Barca was Emperor of Carthage

    That's exactly the point of this thread. An early "revolution" in the political, social and economic make of Carthaginian society could alleviate all or some of the chronic problems you listed. That and Hamilcar specifically began his conquest of Iberia to counter the manpower discrepancy. It...

  17. Turkish controlled Warsaw, possible?

    Very Possible The Ottomans led a number of successful invasions of Poland-Lithuania. During the Moldavian Magnate Wars, the Turks defeated and invaded Poland numerous times and were ceded much territory in Ukraine/Southern Poland. You could use a POD where the Turks win the Battle of Khotyn...

  18. WI Hannibal Barca was Emperor of Carthage

    There is much evidence to argue that the Carthaginian Senate contributed as much to its defeat in the Punic Wars as did the Romans. Their senate purposefully withheld resupply and reinforcements from Hannibal Barca while on his famous campaign through Italy. What if the Carthaginian Republic...

  19. Pyrrhus Burns Rome

    Despite the fact that Rome eventually recovered from its sack by the Gauls, keep in mind that the First Punic War started nine years after Pyrrhus departed Italy. I doubt even the Romans could bounce back that quickly. Either Pyrrhus would return to the east allowing the ascendant Carthage to...

  20. Roman innovation.

    How bout perfume and other luxury goods manufactured in the Mediterranean region. That way half the Roman gold doesnt wind up in India.
