Miscellaneous: Before 1900 (Alternate) History Thread

Easy, have Syagrius prevail over Clovis in military struggle, than have Avars completely destroy Frankish kingdom along the Rhine together with Thuringia (possible Slavic Germany in that scenario) and have Norse take Netherlands (they tried to raid it during early Merovingian period).

What if Constantine hadn't converted?

What if Britain got Greenland after the Napoleonic Wars?

WI Doggerland survived? How does this affect migration, Roman invasion, later history with France, etc?

WI: Muhammad converts to Christianity instead of creating his own religion.

On this question demands contexts before I ask it. People already know that I am very interested in making a good alternative history tTL where the Confederates win. So here is my miscellaneous question how could and very theoretical and not so realistic terms perhaps because the confederacy recruit Chinese and Japanese mercenary’s? The beauty of these oriental soldiers, as many of them will be archers and medieval style units.

The confederacy could point out that it was the old union government that actually forcefully opened up Japan. Historically the US Congress was much more willing to negotiate and act, even somewhat fairly in comparison to commodore perry, who was willing to go out guns a blazing in 1853.

Before I get comments, well I have seen the last samurai and seen a little bit of gameplay of fall of the samurai shogun total war I didn’t say that these people were either primitive, or that they were better than people with guns even in my opinion of the movie. It is an entertaining film, but not that good of a film.

The propaganda agency could also show commonalities between the 2 regions of they are fighting for their old traditions against too much modernism.Incentives would be for these Japan and the southern culture peasants to be given bountiful bags of rice after the war is over along with current rice rations.

Also, it’s not the emperor who is making these decisions for some samurai to be used as mercenary us, but perhaps either of the Shogun as a whole, which is doubtful, or just some Lourdes, who are allowing for an unemployed people to fight. Southerners, like to think of themselves as knights, and they were more aristocratic and more formal than their Yankee counterpart.

This would be interesting for the Confederates to have Long Bowman, which is something I could see Jefferson Davis would like to experiment if he was secretary of war or possibly president

Perhaps this belongs on your miscellaneous, or perhaps is belongs in a new thread altogether, I didn’t say it was very likely again. Of course, Southern California would have to be under the cat hands of the confederates, which is not out of the question.

WI Denmark had given Iceland to Prussia (instead of Schleswig) in 1864?
