    AHC/WI : Ottomans fails to takeover Egypt

    How could Ottomans fail to conquer Egypt? Giving their clear strategical superiority in early XVIth century, I suppose that it means we may need an earlier PoD but it would be best IMO if we consider one that take place after the conquest of Constantinople. I think we may have some...

    AHC/WI : No united Japan in Kofun Era

    How can we have a desunited Japan during the Kofun and Asuka eras, ending up with several kingdoms fighting for regional dominance as it happened in Korea? Even if Japan does get unified later, what would that imply for Japanese culture and history, but also on their relation with Korea, China...

    Revised Color Scheme (aRCS/RCS) - Discussion/Workbench

    Standardized map-making on AH.com, while having progressed significantly both in quality and representation since peoples began to draw and use them, are still generally mixing accurate, not that accurate, obsolete or outright imaginary components. For various reasons, people involved in...

    WI : No Battle of the Alps

    What if Mussolini actually listened up to virtually everyone, and not launch the mother of insane operations in the Alps, trying to follow-up on German advance in 1940? There is little doubt that it won't save France, altough it might change some elements or events of the military defeat, but...

    ΙCΑΡΝΟΝΑΡΙΟΙ - The Lords of Iron
    Threadmarks: Introduction

    ΙCΑΡΝΟΝΑΡΙΟΙ The Lords of Iron - History of the Galatians and the Oikouménē where Hannibal defeated Rome - INTRODUCTION Ancient Gaul was for a long time a terra incognita, something that was barely worth mention except to highlight what Rome, the civilization, was. Strangely, it’s not...

    ΚΕΝΟΝ ΓΑΛΑΤΕІΑ (WIP) - Independent Gaul AH proposals

    I had this idea in mind, or rather these ideas, for a while and now is a good time as any to try writting about it. The history of independent Gaul is not a particularily known field on this board, and I suspect among people generally (altough, for obvious reasons, with a good vulgarisation...

    AHC/WI : Successful Egyptian revolts against Ptolemies

    In the IInd and Ist centuries BCE, you had two (recorded) important native revolts against Ptolemaic rule, leaded by self-styled pharaohs : Herwennefer and Ankhmasis between -205 and -185 being the more successful contenders, taking the main part of Upper Egypt, and Harsiesi between -131 and...

    WI : No war of 1812?

    As it says on the tin : what would have been the consequences for USA (or British North America), in the absence of a War of 1812? I'm especially wondering, not-exclusively, to what it would have implied about the inner political tendencies and dynamics in the region (as for nation and identity...

    AHC/WI : Zwinglism as third branch of Protestantism

    How could we change early Reform history in order to retain Zwingli's views as a third branch of Protestantism, along with Lutherianism and Calvinism (if Calvinism or any Calvinist-equivalent appears as a strong branch ITTL, of course)? What would be the consequences of Zwingli's semi-anabatism...

    AHC/WI : No Shogunate, no Imperial restoration

    What if the shogunate never devellops, or at least never holds, as a political institution in medieval Japan, while the emperor doesn't recover the power he lost IOTL, at least for a significant period of time? What would have allowed that, and which kind of outcome would have been likely? A...

    AHC/WI : Thessalian, not Macedonian, hegemony over Greece.

    Jason of Pherae was a thessalian leader that, for the first time in a long time, managed to unify Thessaly under one rough rule, ending taking the title of tageuo/tagos (roughly tyrant or archon) of Thessaly. He seems to have been equally skilled in politics (more than his son) and in military...

    AHC/WI : Latin Monetary Union

    The Latin Monetary Union was a failed temptative to standardize european currencies, and at term, to create a single unified currency for all its members. How LMU could have suceed at least to maintain a lasting monetary standardization, and possibly a common currency? What economical changes...

    AHC/WI : No Norway/Sweden break-up in 1905.

    What would have been necessary to prevent the dissolution of the union of both kingdoms in 1905? I gather that the maintain of free trade would probably help, but which factors could prevent, not the rise of a popular Norwegian nationalism, but its triumph in 1905? What would be the...

    AHC/WI : Tibetan resurgence after the fall of Tibetan Empire

    After the fall of the Tibetan Empire, things went quite downhill in Tibet which knew a long era of decline known as the Era of Fragmentation. It tended to be better after the Yuan conquests, but between mid IXth century and mid-XIIIth century, the region was a mess of small dynasties which can...

    WI : No bantustans

    What would be the consequences with South Africa, still abiding by an apartheid policy (altough, for the sake of the conversation, it could be softened, hardened, shortened, etc.), not enacting a policy of "self-governing" or "independent" homelands? If possible, local, regional and...

    AHC/WI : Dahan instead of Ming

    How could Chen Youliang and his faction of Red Turbans could not only defeat Zhu Yuanzhang, but as well re-establish his dynasty as ruling all over China after defeating Yuans? What would that mean for a Dahan China? Would that mean a lesser focus on Budhism and re-establishment of...

    WI : Tartessian civilisation lives on

    What would be the consequences for the western mediterranean basin, and beyond, with a Tartessian civilisation surviving the corner of the VIth century BC? Let's assume (unless that's too implausible for a working TL), for the sake of the discussion, that Phoceans manages to win the Battle of...

    WI : Early introduction of tea in Mediterranean Basin

    Let's assume that, roughly in the same period Romans introduced silk cultivation and industry in the Mediterranean Basin (in the VIth century), they introduced tea cultivation and preparation (and of course, consumption). I've little doubt that it would be a luxury product, would it be only...
