  1. How large can vinland get

    What I would love to see in any Vinland TL is native conversion, either to Norse paganism or Christianity, or both. I can imagine Catholics natives around the Gulf of Saint Laurence at war supported by the main group of Vikings in conflict with pagan natives further down the river where the...

  2. Napoleon refuses to sell Louisiana purchase

    Well, what are you trying to do here? Jefferson's offer was to buy the upper two thirds, if you want France on the continent (even though they're still there with St. Pierre and Miquelon (who know's any of these saints anyways?)). I suppose you could manage to keep in a few scenarios...

  3. AHC .More Monarchies in the new world .

    If you avoid WW1 you get countless monarchies in Europe, and if you keep British India you'll get alot of monarchies there as well. Oops, didn't see the title.

  4. General No Islam Timeline Thread

    Here's something for ya: https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=339427

  5. Modern Day Confederate States of America

    Jeez, please use the search button

  6. Expressions of Interest Regarding NZ Maori Timeline?

    Consider me subscribed.

  7. Would not having the Qing help China in the long term?

    I don't think that without the Qing that the Chinese would've expanded to their current size (and therefore its plethora of resources), but I wouldn't know.

  8. Most competent monarch ever?

    Making a list as well -Ramses II -Achaemene -Qin Shi Huangdi -Alexander the Great -Augustus Caesar -Trajan -Constantine the Great (also a saint in the Orthodox Church) -Khosrau II -Clovis I (Clovis means the same thing as Louis, making Louis even more popular) -Justinian -Charles...

  9. Vinland (and Greenland) without Lief Erikson

    Just an idea, but do you think Norse Gaels or perhaps Bretons could become the settlers? Both were seagoing, and were either Vikings or had decent contact with? I can imagine both being pushed out. On the other hand, I would die to see a TL where a sizable group of Jews during the 400s moves...

  10. AHC: More linguistic diversity in America

    I got two here. First, you could somehow stem westward migration, keeping a literal shitton of native languages around. Perhaps a devastating plague on the East Coast slows population growth for a while, or the Louisiana Purchase never goes through. Second, we have the historical 2nd largest...

  11. AHC: Armenian Anatolia

    Stop the Armenian Genocide (and the other ones did by Turkey and you would have an Anatolia primarily Greek in the west and Armenian in the east). Perhaps Russia getting the terms they deserved at the Treaty Berlin and getting some part of ethnic Armenia, but you might need a crushing victory...

  12. AHC: Successful Québecois War of Independence pre-Cold War

    Alright, the challenge here is simple: a French-Canadien state created by a revolt, before the onset of the Cold War. The opportunities I see here are during or right after the French & Indian War, the Napoleonic Wars pre-1812, the Patriotes Rebellion, and WW1. Bonus points if supported by...

  13. Book suggestions to avoid Eurocentrism

    Americas Check out Mann's 1491 and 1493. Cahokia: America's Ancient City on the Mississippi is worth a read, and the TV series 500 Nations is quite informative. Also, this probably isn't useful to you, but if you go in depth on Wikipedia you can find quite a bit. I gleamed alot about the...

  14. WI: Orthodox Japan and its effects?

    Japan's industrialization was more or less inevitable by the time Russian missionaries were in Japan. The Russo-Japanese war will probaly still happen, but with more favourable terms to Russia.

  15. English/British Personal Union with Continental State?

    Not pre-1900, but the current King of Norway (probably not continental but whatever) is 30th in line (last time I checked) to inherit the British Monarchy. Kill off 31 certain people and you have a modern monarchist mess. Where will he rule from, a boat in the North Sea? Maybe the Shetlands...

  16. Greatest Pre-1900 European Dynasty?

    I'm pre-determined to say Capets, because my ancestors were nobility under them. Thanks, Louis XIV!

  17. Which groups do you believe discovered America before Columbus

    The Norse did leave a tad bit influence. According to A History of the Vikings: Revised Edition by Gwyn Jones (written in the early 70s and revised in the mid 80s if I am correct), the Greenlanders left a few runestones along Disco Bay until 1330ish and also frequented Labrador for wood into the...

  18. What if the prequels were written by The Clone Wars writers?

    I counted in the movie, and estimated for the series. Even without the Jedi the Clones wreck the drones. The only death I remember particularly was that one trooper who stayed behind to allow the rest of the squad to escape when they were surrounded. Rex?

  19. Pope Election during a ATL 4th Lateran Council

    I must say Francis I would make for a very interesting Pope. The Church won't be any where as near powerful and this may as well butterfly away the Reformation.

  20. Roman and or Greek Colonization of Macaronesia during Classical Antiquity

    Bumping for interest. So, what you would need would be some bottled up coastal culture with a fishing heritage, on the Atlantic side of southern Iberia or Morocco that explodes into an era of expansion and adventurism, a facet of which is maritime, a la Norse. They discover and explore the...
