  1. Non-People/Country Things in AH that are wanked

    People seem extremely reluctant to utilize alternate Great Men in their TL's. I think its due to a fear of seeming like they are simply handwaving improbable changes through, but I find it even more historically unprobable that a country might go through 1000 years of history without any...

  2. A Different Russia

    I'll spoil the suspense. No, there is not a chance Russia is going to try to go for the East Indies. Yeah, obviously it isn't how an actual conference would go, but I cut it down in the interest of brevity. Considering I copied the line, unaltered, from Riasonvky's history of Russia, maybe...

  3. A Different Russia

    По-русски говорящии- Я думаю что я хочу писать некоторыи имя по-русски. Вы думаете что его хорошая идея, или его будет очень трудно читать и понимаю? Извините что беспокою вас, и я знаю что мой по-русски очень ужасный- я только начинаю говорить по-русски шесть месяцы назад. Спасебо

  4. Viability of French Hegemony over Europe?

    It was in a slightly different time period, but just from a very few years of French hegemony under Napoleon in our TL... - spread of nationalism and Enlightenment ideals - largely eliminated the outdated feudal system of governance found in Germany and Italy and planted the seeds for...

  5. A Different Russia

    I completely forgot I had this story still going... I'll try to find some free time to continue the TL. I know in my head whats going to happen, but man is writing it all out a bitch.

  6. French led Industrial Revolution

    Thats not backward, thats comparative advantage, and one of the cornerstones of modern economic theory.

  7. Rules/Cliches of AH

    No matter what changes are made, a massive Slavic dominated, Moscow centered Russia pops up like clockwork. People don't seem to realize the very particular sequence of events that allowed OTL to happen- if you had to take bets, the most likely outcome is probably a series of competing states-...

  8. French led Industrial Revolution

    Make France the country that kicks off the the IR, not Britain. Bonus points if you explore what Europe would look like with the French as the industrial pioneers, not the British.

  9. A Chinese Scientific Revolution?

    Bump diggity Faeelin and abas, i would love to hear more of your respective arguments.

  10. A Chinese Scientific Revolution?

    Fair enough. But I think it is significant that merchants were scorned in doctrinaire Confucianism. Pure science doesn't necessarily need banks. But applied science in the form of technology and possibly an industrial revolution certainly does. Where do you get funding foryour factories...

  11. A Chinese Scientific Revolution?

    I actually had to write a full length research paper on the subject of Chinese science and technology fairly recently. The main reasons China didn't develop an industrial revolution were (in no particular order)... 1) Lack of the all-important merchant class, which in European societies were...

  12. Alexander the Mediocre

    I just re-read the entire thread, and at least a dozen people, directly or indirectly, commented on the fact that either you were deliberately not understanding arguments, or just had a terrible knowledge of history. Me, Keenir, Flocc, MrP, Imajin, EvolvedSaurian, Napoleon, Wozza, pa-dutch...

  13. Alexander the Mediocre

    Do you know the term trolling? It refers to, in general, gross breach of forum conduct. One of the main instances usually cited as trolling is making outlandish, illogical claims to provoke argument, and then refusing to back down from said idiotic claims. Its to prevent the forum being clogged...

  14. Alexander the Mediocre

    Well since you've presented so much evidence to back that up, and we haven't... oh wait...

  15. Which Before 1900AD conquer has had the most influence in YOUR LIFE?

    I admire you sir. You do not allow a words given definition to affect your use of it. Here, let me try. I conquered my toast this morning, it was delicious. I try to eat healthy now, because my doctor conquered my head with statistics about the bad affects of letting cholestorol conquer the...

  16. Alexander the Mediocre

    Keenir, give up man. This thread is the AH.COM version of Tantalus and Sisyphis. Every time you think you've countered every claim, something new pops up.

  17. Which Before 1900AD conquer has had the most influence in YOUR LIFE?

    Wait, Gandhi's a conquerer now? Hahahahaha, yes all the people of London widen their eyes and draw bated breath when they hear mention of The White Swaddle/Underwear of Doom. In all seriousness though, there is a huge difference between a person of influence and a conquerer. Jesus didnt conquer...

  18. Which Before 1900AD conquer has had the most influence in YOUR LIFE?

    Jesus is a conquerer? You must be reading some pretty interesting history books.

  19. Alexander the Mediocre

    Considering most are devout Muslims, less than 10% would be my guess Yet you keep coming back.

  20. Alexander the Mediocre

    Actually, now that we don't have to argue over an established fact anymore, the actual point of the topic can be discussed. In that vein, would the Silk Road trade be diminished at all if the Persians aren't broken? They might try to withhold trade if they get into a conflict with Rome.
