  1. Miscellaneous >1900 (Alternate) History Thread

    I have been thinking about a scenario where WWI breaks out with the German Confederation still alive. Surely it would be interesting.

  2. Map Thread XXII

    An alternate Great War I where the Germanic Empire formed after the Germanic Revolutions of the early 19th century smashingly defeats the wide coalition of the Rus of Moscow, Lithuania, Poland, the Confederation of Saint Stephen, Moldavia, the United Celtic Kingdom, Brittany, Anjou, the Kingdom...

  3. Chances of A-H surviving up to the present day if no World War happened?

    But A-H could have faced internal revolution at some point (specially by Czechs and Romanians).

  4. Chances of A-H surviving up to the present day if no World War happened?

    I did not say anything about A-H surviving with their same 1914 borders, which is even more unlikely. Probably some concessions should have been made like i.e. granting the Trentino to Italy (not necessarily all the South Tyrol) and Galizia to a maybe resurrected Poland. Also Bosnia could have...

  5. Chances of A-H surviving up to the present day if no World War happened?

    Which are the chances of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire to survive until the present day if somehow the World Wars (or similar large-scale war in Europe) were avoided during the 20th century? Would it manage to survive in peace times or would its dissolution/partition be unavoidable at some point?

  6. Map Thread XXII

    An alternate scenario of colonial empires by 1820, after analogue Revolutions in America and Europe: To add some context: Spanish South America would be an analogue 'loyalist colony' as IOTL Canada, but in South America. The North American Federation comprises former British, Germanic...

    Another alternate Arian Germanic Empire, this time in a form of a commonwealth of 12 non-centralized 'tribal' realms:

  8. Q: An alternate Kalmar Union between Denmark, Norway and a non-HRE Germany against an expansive Sweden?

    By the same reasons they did it IOTL with Sweden (against the Hansa) but now reversing the roles between Sweden and Germany.

  9. Q: An alternate Kalmar Union between Denmark, Norway and a non-HRE Germany against an expansive Sweden?

    Pomerania or early Prussia would be pretty irrelevant in such union, I can't see why Denmark would be interested. It should be easier to just invade them. These borders are more or less the borders of the IOTL Kingdom of Germany, HRE included part of Italy and Burgundy.

  10. Q: An alternate Kalmar Union between Denmark, Norway and a non-HRE Germany against an expansive Sweden?

    This would be by the 15th century more or less.

  11. Q: An alternate Kalmar Union between Denmark, Norway and a non-HRE Germany against an expansive Sweden?

    This map would reflect this kind of alternate scenario:

  12. Q: An alternate Kalmar Union between Denmark, Norway and a non-HRE Germany against an expansive Sweden?

    How it would have fared an alternate Kalmar Union between Norway, Denmark and a Kingdom of Germany non linked to HRE, formed as opposition to an expanding Sweden which would dominate most of the Baltic (Finland, Baltic states, Prussia, Further Pomerania...)?

  13. Q: Chances of Gothic to became the prestige language of Medieval Western Europe instead of Latin?

    Normally, oversimplifaction of language structures happen when one language comes into contact to others who are not fully familiar to them. Old English got grammarly simplified when it endured a situation of diglossia with Old Norse in the Danelaw, as it 'needed' to get simplified in order to...

  14. Q: Chances of Gothic to became the prestige language of Medieval Western Europe instead of Latin?

    I was thinking more about oversimplification of the structures of the language (loss of inflections and so) rather than a direct Romance influence.

  15. Q: Chances of Gothic to became the prestige language of Medieval Western Europe instead of Latin?

    I think that if Gothic eventually had passed to the Romance-speaking class it would have been pretty transformed to the point of becoming like a different language to the liturgical one, in a model like the classical Arab vs i.e. Moroccan Arab.

  16. Q: Chances of Gothic to became the prestige language of Medieval Western Europe instead of Latin?

    Regarding this point, there is evidence that Irish did not adopt Latin as liturgical language at first (mostly because they were not part of the Roman Empire, so Latin was unfamiliar for the population) but they eventually did it when Latin later raised as the undisputed liturgical language of...

  17. Q: Chances of Gothic to became the prestige language of Medieval Western Europe instead of Latin?

    Gothic language was associated to the Arian Church in both early Visigothic Spain and Ostrogothic Italy. However, the conversion of the first to Nicene Christianity and the conquest of the second by the Byzantines sealed the fate of the Gothic language in Western Europe. However, in other...

  18. Queen of Kings: bio of an Empress of the Arians in the late 19th century

    CHAPTER 2: THE TRAGEDY On Friday 31st May of 1878, Prince Richard of Nassau married Amalia of Lombardy in the Great Arian Cathedral in Pavia. It was a tradition in the Nassau family that the princes and princesses marry at the homeland of their 'graced' consorts, excepting the Crown Princes or...

    An alternate map of the Metro of Barcelona, merging all the existing, planned and proposed stations of the TMB/FGC system in just ten extended and simplified lines:

  20. Queen of Kings: bio of an Empress of the Arians in the late 19th century

    CHAPTER 1: EARLY LIFE OF GRISELDA OF NASSAU Grishild Marien Ulrike von Berlin und Nassau, better known as Griselda of Nassau, was born on June 6th 1862 at Mariensdorf Palace near Berlin. She was the first daughter of Imperial Princess Ulrike Martina and her husband Royal Prince Heinrich of...
