On the battle of Cannamore, the Mamluk Sultanate assisting the Kingdom of Calicut would win against the Portuguese in 1506 destroying the possibility of a Portuguese Naval Empire in the East although the focus of the Portuguese would now be in Africa instead at this point, forcing them to focus...

(Based off a previous thread I made that died and wanted a fresh start.) Oda Nobunaga was one of the Great Unifiers of Japan and is one of my favorite historical figures in history. Through brilliance, and brutality, he almost unified the entirety of Japan. He was open to foreign culture and...

Some context: Competent A-H fends off Brusilov offensive, no German USW, February Revolution still on time, no Kerensky Offensive, no October Revolution, armistice in late 1917/early 1918, negotiated peace in 1918. Russia only loses Poland (sans Suwalki). German Asia-Pacific possessions have the...

Introduction This (sideproject) Timeline will be focusing on the South Asian and Asian countries in the Cold War and Beyond starting from 1951 and beyond starting with a PoD from the 1951 Nepalese Revolution. The Timeline will heavily focus on the Indian Subcontinent and its member countries...

I don't know if it could have been possible but if miraculously the Jesuit missions had managed to convert the qing imperial family And most Chinese generals And some very important people from the merchant class of china. what would change with a china pro-catholic(spain and Portugal) Influence...

[Revised 2022-04-17. Formerly titled "A Longer Night, a Brighter Sunrise"] Here are some ideas for a proposed timeline that addresses the most commonly criticized aspects of Japanese society, making it more reconciled with its neighbors and a more attractive place to live in (it doesn't have to...

In the 16th Century, the Spanish Conquistadors had fantasized taking over China, or a least bits of China. Realistically, no way the Spanish were ever going to conquer China, or even mainland Asia (See Cambodia) So what would be the consequences of Spanish Conquistadors starting unauthorized...

If we assume China becomes majority Taoist after the Warring states period (probably a Chu unification but whatever gets us to that point will do) than how much of the rest of Asia could Taoism spread too? Are there cultural changes that can be predicted for countries that adopt the philosophy...

It's been long established that a victorious North Korea in the Korean War (at least with a POD where either the USA doesn't intervene heavily early on or messes up in the war) would go on to unite the peninsula and yet have a different kind of regime that's less like OTL's hellhole yet still...

I can't figure out how to delete threads please ignore this

See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Netherlands So, in this pre-1900 what if (WI) history thread, the Dutch East India Company (Dutch: Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie or VOC) was looking for areas within the so-called Indo-Pacific to conquer just to resist its low-lying...

So, let me put that circa 2000s-2010s hypothetically alternate history this way here, for sure @Fuzzy Dunlop, @NOMISYRRUC, @The History Man, @TheMann, @Peg Leg Pom, @Dan1988, and as well as @Rfl23, @Heathswalkingstick might ever keep themselves woke just to see this: At first, the Hyundai...

I think if Nissan would avoid that kind of mishap they did [by establishing Infiniti and merging into Renault's umbrella] since many decades ago, about circa 1980s and [c.] 1990s... Then, in order to prevent itself [Nissan] from facing a corporate disaster, Nissan - which already owns Subaru -...

So, before or after you people end up posting replies in this thread here on this website, therefore I would show to you this article regarding Nissan: === Fear and reprisals: How Nissan crushed its Ghosn probe whistleblower - The Japan Times Nissan Motor Co.’s former top lawyer, who led an...

More information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8888_Uprising This WI was predictably inspired by the military coup and subsequent protests still happening in Myanmar right now. What would it take for the Tatmadaw to be forced out of power in 1988? Could they somehow be forced to accept the...

Warning! This might be a prologue while it is [still] under construction. #DanishKorea - "Danish Korea" #DanishFarEast - "Danish Far East" So, I would show to you mates what does Side B mean, through a map I edited seen below: So, if not only the Danish would have colonised the whole Korean...

So OTL, the US dominated western Europe, but the USSR tended to do better in Asia. What if this was reversed? My idea is that TTL Warsaw pact would extend all the way to Brittany and Northern Italy, maybe via numerous bungled offensives by the Western Allies? This scares the US, who then...

Basically, the idea is to have Christianity grow in Japan to the point that it's the second or third largest religion in the nation behind Shintoism or Buddhism. For added points, one could give some ideas for how Japan would develop as a nation in the 19th and 20th century as a result.

So, say that some of Western European countries like France, Spain, Portugal and Britain turn Communist in early 20th century. They don't need to all turn communist, just some of them. How would they deal with their colonies? Would it be more likely that the colonies would've gained their...

I've seen a few threads here and there about Japan in a post-Central powers victory in world war I, but nothing concerning Indochina or a Japanese siberia in a cp victory, only in OTL. Standard USA doesn't join, German victory against Entente by 1918 post brest-litovsk via Spring offensives sort...
