what if the schism was worse preventing crusades. Kilij arslan subdues the danishmends and launches an invasion of balkans with Tzachas bey's ships. This laying the ground work for his successors to evenutally dominate eastern europe and middle east. Later fighting the mongols

-Prologue- Shikanoshima (志賀島), Hakata Bay, June 30, 1281 Kim Bang-gyeong stood at the head of the table his makeshift war council stood around, the air still thick with smoke from the gunpowder that burnt corpses and ships alike. It was a familiar sight, bringing up painful memories of the...

There's a bunch of timelines that either have no Mongol Empire at all, or an unstoppable Mongol Empire that conquers all of Europe, India, and Egypt. But what about a very plausible scenario that's not discussed too often: What if the Mongols, upon the death of Genghis Khan in 1227, decided to...

I love history, and when I read historical sources about the history of Genghis Khan, I was surprised to find that most of these historical clans today form the backbone of my nation. Today, historical tribes such as "Naiman, Kerey, Dulat, Zhalair, Katagan, Alban, Kongurat" are among the most...

The Great Yuan, heirs of Genghis & Kublai, ruled over China for over a century, before being pushed back to the steppes by the rising Ming Dynasty. The remaining Mongols had a mixed relationship with Ming China, sometimes allies & sometimes adversaries, and occasionally rose to even threaten...

What if HRE centralizes in Early Middle Ages and expands and Germanizes upto and heavily fortifies the Urals and Caucasus mountain passes by the time mongols came ambushing any invaders will they keep Mongols out europe or will Mongols conquer more of europe ?

There were two failed attempts to invade Japan by the mongol Yuan dynasty - one in 1274 and another in 1281. How would history be different if one of these succeeded?

What many people forget is that "Genghis Khan" was not a name, but a title, and a title that could very well have been claimed by a different man. Jamukha was an ally and blood brother to Temujin, and they waged a campaign against the Merkits together. However, their differences and ambitions...

I don't know much about the Timurids but I expect that this would be nigh impossible to do. But say all of the Ming's top generals and administrators get a sudden case of stupid just as Timur starts his campaign and the madman actually manages to pull it off. What happens afterwards?

So just assume Genghis khan was never born or died has a child. What would the effects on history be?

What Pods are needed to make sure the Song do not fall to the Mongols? Or at least keep them at the North China Plain?

Alright so for this topic the basis is that blackpowder is never discovered in 11th century Song China. No one else in China is able to find or properly record it for quite some time, and when they do it just doesn't spread to the west. Now assuming first that the Mongols show up on schedule...

Thanks to Covid I have had a lot of free time, and have spent it getting back into writing. Among the various projects I have been working on has been an alternate history setting, the timeline of which will appear here.

How could Goryeo survive independent and undergo an industrial revolution? Extra points if Goryeo is at least a constitutional Monarchy by the end of it.

Good evening. As it says on the title what would the Middle East look like if the sacking of Constantinople in 1204 is avoided? For starters either the crusaders avoid Constantinople, and also avoid sacking Zara or at least stay on good terms with the Pope somehow. Regardless the don't get...

What if the Ming Dynasty manages to repel an Oirat invasion led by Esen Choros? In OTL, the Ming lost, causing them to lose Ordos and their Emperor to the Oirat. So, was it possible for the Ming to repel the Oirat, and if so, what happens afterward?

The idea of the Mongols (or an independent Mongol warlord) taking over Constantinople, adopting Greek traditions, converting to Orthodoxy, and subsequently establishing a new Eastern Roman dynasty during the 13th century is commonly brought up, but how and when could this happen, and who could...

While the Mongol conquest of Khwarezm was notoriously brutal, it wasn't Genghis Khan's intention to go to war. He wanted trade, and possibly an alliance. What if he'd gotten one? How would things be different?

The Battle of Mobei in 119 BCE, waged between the confederated nomadic tribes of the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty of China, might as well have been one of decisive consequences for all of the Eurasian landmass. As a result of the Xiongnu defeat in this engagement and, ultimately, the Han-Xiongnu...

I am aware that some Mongol descendant polities (i.e. Khaanate of Crimea, Kokand, etc) existed until pre-modern times, but how can we stretch the last political vestiges of the Mongol Empire to it's greatest extents and have direct descended states of the Mongol as much as possible and last as...
