Make the Crimean Goths persist as a "people" into the 21 century. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimean_Gothic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimean_Goths http://www.gotica.de/taurica.html (A. Busbecq´s Letters: Editions and Translations) https://lrc.la.utexas.edu/eieol/gotol/100 (Gothic...

On this scenario, the Ostrogoth kingdom is able to push the byzantines from the entire peninsula, and further conquest sicily and Sardegna, what would be the cultural, political and religious implications of this in the future?

With a POD before 1900 is it possible for Anatolia/modern Turkey becoming Gothic? By gothic it can either be as a national identity similar to France and the Franks. Or it can be ethnic, linguistic, religous or a mix. Is this possible without derailing the Gothic migration into Italy, Gaul and...

The challenge is to have the Goths conquer Roman Egypt. Hard mode: make it last.

Pretty self explanatory. Have at least two East Germanic languages survive till present day

Attila's Empire was notably more of a series of tributary relationships and alliances against the Roman Empire between various migratory peoples, rather than an actual empire. How could Attila's empire have turned into an actual sedentary and urbanized empire stretching from, at the least, the...

I'm not going to make a route to be used on this scenario, but the only point that should be kept is that the visigoths defeat any invasion of Hispania, be Frankish or Moor. The Visigoths may have coups, civil wars, changes of dynasty and all kind of crisis coming from desestabilization, but...

A year ago I made a very constructive post about the influence of the Goths in Spain, and while the goths did leave a strong trace there (you can find visigothic names in Portugal, Spain and Latin america even today), they were mostly assimilated in the latim culture of those areas So, there is...

Alright, so, hello alternate history people! I'm new to the forum and alternate history and general but here's my first attempt at a TL. So, the POD is that in late 6th century Visigothic Spain, Liuvigild and Hermenegild (joint rulers) never get into a civil war, so neither Hermenegild nor his...

Assuming that the Lazica under Persian protection isn't as oppressive as normally IRL, and Persians doesn't react when Justinian had been advancing very far against Ostrogoths, how far Justinian's campaigns would go? MY PERSONAL OPINION... Gothic War would end very early in Ostrogoths' front...

Hey guys, this is my 2nd major timeline, and I do plan to finish it, now that I've worked out many kinks from the last one. Do feel free to critique whenever you find it necessary. Each map will occur after a 25 year period, or at least that's my plan at the time of writing this. I hope you...

With a POD between 375 and 500, what are some worst-case scenarios for the Roman Empire in the 5th and 6th centuries? That is, how could it have fallen most spectacularly and into as many pieces as possible, as early as possible? What are some best-case scenarios for the Goths, Vandals, Franks...

With the latest POD possible, how could the Baltic Sea have been united by a Slavic, Baltic, East Germanic, West/Central Germanic, or Finno-Ugric speaking empire, with its capital south or east of the Baltic, and Scandinavia as a colony or peripheral province?

Hi, i'm writing a dissertation for my graduation, and i'm stuck on a subject. Expanding the title, i want to know how the diplomatic relations between Rome and the germanic kingdoms on its borders (Franks, Goths, Alamanni etc) could evolve without the arrival of the Huns. I've recently read...

"...our history now descends from an empire of gold to one of iron and rust, as affairs did for the Romans of that day." Roman History, by Cassio Dio. 363 - The Roman Emperor Julian, commands an invasion of Sassanid Persia, in order to solidify his position with the Eastern Army. Despite...

Before I begin, I feel I must explain a few things about myself and where this is all coming from. In order to do so, I have to travel back a good 11 or 12 years (please, bare with me!). It was roughly around that time that I, a High School student with a deep interest in history, and some...
