  1. Could Gabriele D’Annunzio formed a facist Italy

    So I was wondering what are the possibilities of Gabriele D'Annunzio forming a fascist government instead of Mussolini, either before Mussolini's rise to power or substituting him. D'Annunzio was the biggest power of nationalism in Italy after World War 1 and his Impresa di Fiume (his taking...

  2. AHC: Muslim Poland, more criteria inside...

    I think you would have to have a pretty early PoD, Ottoman time, when Islam was furthest in Europe and closest to conquering Poland(which is easily possible), wouldn't really work, even if they conquered Poland it was completely against their way of governing. While there is a time period for...

  3. WI: A pension for Confederate veterans

    I cant see it happening early on, there was too much anger for it to work until much later, when a lot of the feelings had been deadened by time. By 1900's I could see one, but not much earlier then that

  4. Homosexual Acceptance/Rights Emerging From Roman-Greco Pre-Christian Worldveiw?

    While I do think that for the vast majority something like marriage would not come about from from Athens or Sparta, the one caveat I would have on that is the Sacred Band of Thebes, one of the strangest military forces ever. I know some debate wither it actually existed at all, but if you take...

  5. WI: North African Reconquista

    I get all that but the timeframe that the Reconquista of North Africa would have to be after the Recoquista of Iberia was finished, and that would mean that any attack would have to be later the 1500's when I doubt there were many Christians at all. However looking at the original post it...

  6. What would Colonization of the New World Without Gunpowder Look Like?

    if somehow the Europeans still discovered Americas in 1492, without gunpowder, early on i dont think there would be much difference, the diseases would still be there and the steel and horses were bigger for shock at first. However, I think in the long term the Natives would have a better shot...

  7. WI: North African Reconquista

    was the any wide knowledge that North Africa had been Christinized at the time, it would be hard to have a Reconquista if most of the population though it had always been Islamic. I can see it happening though expansion of there North African bases, treating the public much better and a larger...

  8. How Effective were Public Executions?

    I dont think many were for detering crime, I alway saw them as a way to show the people who was in charge and for many to satisfy them if something bad happened. In those areas I think they were successful.

  9. WI: Byzantine Gunpowder instead of Greek Fire

    I could see early no Greek Fire actually be much more effective in battles then gunpowder. It will take at least a century to be able to handle gunpowder units so it all depends on the exact years. Also, it would be much easier for the Arabs to get how to make gunpowder then Greek Fire, which...

  10. Crusader wank

    Thats definitely true, but I'm not sure if it's fisable to do it that way. The Crusades were so stuck in the idea of holy war and I'm not sure they would be able to treat the Muslims well enough that they would want to convert within a reasonable time frame. And even if they did, it would take...

  11. Crusader wank

    I dont know how fiasable this is but it always seems that the problem for the Crusader States was manpower, the Teutonic States and Spain were both successfully Christianize because of immigration. So what if Urban instead of just offered indulgences for the pilgrimage, offered some sort of...

  12. AHC/WI: Non-English world lingua franca

    The fact that it is called lingua franca in the first place says that its very easy for another language to become most popular. French shockingly seems most likely, have them win a couple of the Wars against Britain and be stronger in driving there citizens to colonize and you could easily...

  13. AHC: Islamization of the African Great Lakes States

    I understand the Empire is not the same as the current state, I said that last post, my point with that is that I thought that the nobles were Islamic which is really all you need for a religion to diffuse through the country, sure it dident that time, but the point still shows it has worked...

  14. Ottomans raid and attack Newfoundland and Virginia 17th century

    There vassal pirate groups could do it but why, anything that was worth raiding would be shiped back to Europe and could be raided closer to the coast, I know that the pirates occasionaly went to the Atlantic, and with the habit of taking the boats they could easily travel to North America, I...

  15. What Was Napoleon's Most Impressive Victory?

    I put Austerlitz because is Austerlitz, how can you not. However, I've always been impressed by the Battle of the Pyramids, and sure, its not the best enemy, but 23 deaths for at least 3000 has always impressed me.

  16. AHC: Islamization of the African Great Lakes States

    Fair enough on Ghana and the Akan, thought I still thought the Ghana kings were Islamic and the Empire had a lot of Muslims, this area isent my specialty. What do you mean by the leverage, the traders would still have the rare and exotic goods the rich want, thats true everywhere, I dont see...

  17. AHC: Islamization of the African Great Lakes States

    I was thinking more Indonesia and West Africa where trade facilitated a lot, although granted, a lot of the conversion was from the coast inward, I still think its a viable solution. In Ghana, even though they were never majority Muslim, I do believe in the areas where their was the most trade...

  18. WI the Confederates didn't fire on Fort Sumter

    The secession will happen no matter what, there was way too much fuel for it not to burn, the spark would probably come from one of the boarder areas. The biggest change may be that if the North attacks first, it may pressure some boarder states to fall in with the South and make Europe more...

  19. Pope declares himself dynastic ruler

    Since celibacy was founded about 400 (granted it wasent codified till the Gregorian Reforms, but it was pretty much dominant since Leo the Great) while papal supremacy dident really become dominate till about 700?, if a pope (were they called pope that early) tried that, they would be completely...

  20. AHC: Islamization of the African Great Lakes States

    I could see it work pretty easily if there were greater trade ties earlier, it worked everywhere else, and I dont see a reason it wouldent work here, not too knowledgeable about the area though, dont know many specifics
