RULES 2016 EDITION

1. Obey global rules

2. Keep things related to history and its study.

2a. History, for the purposes of this board, covers pre-History and all events up to the fall of the Soviet Union. Further than that and it's considered political discussion or discussion of modern events- take it to /pol/ or /b/.

3. If lewd images must be posted, do so on spoilers. Consider if it wouldn't be better posted elsewhere.

3-a. If you're in doubt whether it's lewd enough to spoiler, err on the side of caution and do it.

GUIDELINES- not quite rules, but good to follow for good posting

1. Check the catalog before posting to see if a thread may already be available for your discussion.

1a. Avoid making threads expecting people to just do your homework for you. Show some work yourself in starting the discussion instead of just "guys what was the main reason for the fall of Sebastianism in the 19th century"

How would historical events in Europe have gone different if the Jews had never immigrated to Europe because of the Romans?

What if...? Alternate historical scenarios that could have changed the world? Anonymous 03/20/2025 (Thu) 17:20 [Preview] No. 1729 [Reply] [X] [Last 50 Posts]
Alright, /his/, let’s dive into some epic "what if" scenarios. We all know history is full of pivotal moments that shaped the world, but what if things had gone differently? Let’s brainstorm some alternate timelines and how they could have completely changed everything.

For example:
- What if the Roman Empire never fell? Would we have a unified global superstate by now, or would it have collapsed under its own weight eventually?
- What if Napoleon won at Waterloo? Would Europe have become a French-dominated continent, or would his empire have crumbled anyway?
- What if the Mongols had successfully invaded Japan? How would that have changed the balance of power in Asia?
- What if the Library of Alexandria was never destroyed? How much further ahead would science and technology be today?

Throw in your own wild scenarios or expand on these. Let’s see how creative /his/ can get. Bonus points for realistic outcomes, but feel free to go full alt-history fiction if you want.

Also, if you know any good books, videos, or resources on alternate history, drop them here. Let’s get this bread, /his/.

OP image is all wrong. Everyone knows Jews are Cubes not Balls.

OP Roman scenario: Rome never had the chance to be a global superstate. There were other empires, whom she was in contact with too. The main rival ofc was the Persian empire - under whatever dynasty. And there was the Chinese further away.
Two more regions that had considerable political structures. One was India (today's Pakistan and northern India) and another which connected all these regions (Europe, Persia, India, China) the steppe region with the steppe people who were always in some contact with each, always had impact on the formation of these polities.
Rome had her hands full.
>collapsed [...] eventually?
That's like a law of physics. Eventually everything collapses.

The other scenarios sounds rather interesting too, especially about the Alexandrian library. I rarely if ever seen ideas like this, usually it's the "What if the Axis won WWII" or "What if the Axis did X or Y, would that changed the course of the war?"
To be honest makes me think if these scenarios were generated by ML.

My scenario:
What if... Wars of Roses never happened? Inheritance of the English throne would have been smooth and never disputed. How that could change the course of history?
Why this?
The war had a major social impact on English society. It wiped out the aristocracy that allowed the way for the people in the lower strata to rise. If they could took initiative and had the talent and a knack for it. They were kinda "self-made men". This majorly influenced the entrepreneur mentality that paved the way of capitalism.

Alright, let’s talk about Genghis Khan – one of history’s most legendary figures. The guy went from being an outcast in the steppes to building an empire that stretched across continents. What do you think made him so successful? Was it his military genius, his ability to unite tribes, or just sheer ruthlessness? And how do you see his legacy – a great conqueror or a destroyer of civilizations? Drop your thoughts, theories, or any obscure facts you’ve got about him!

Moskva, formerly Slava, was a guided missile cruiser of the Russian Navy. Commissioned in 1983, she was the lead ship of the Project 1164 Atlant class, named after the city of Moscow. With a crew of 510, Moskva was the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet and the most powerful warship in the region.

Moskva was the first Russian flagship to be sunk since the 1904-1905 Russo-Japanese War.

The oldest preserved candles north of the Alps.
They were made from beeswax around 1,400 years ago.
Found in the early medieval burial site in Oberflacht. The damp environment preserved the candles in good condition. On display at Landesmuseum Württemberg

>Saving the White Race, Europe, and Germany is tyranny

Fuck the "Republics." Soulless liberal money republics are the basest form of government. Liberty is nice but fleeting. Only the first generation enjoys actual liberty -- after that it is illusory and imprisoning.

The absolute worst thing is to be trapped in an ill-liberal republic that isn't free but has a huge portion of the population convinced that it is. Half the population never use their rights and applaud when rights are denied to the half of the population that actually wants to exercise freedoms.

Only a total fool can still believe in the modern liberal republic. Rome was not a liberal republic, it was a nationalist republic with an aristocratic leadership.

Oh look at you, you disingenuous cunt.

You objectively used it as a slur by derisively saying "this nigga [wants] a tyranny."

Why the fuck are your principles so weak that you'd backpedal off of it and not own your original sentiment?

nah, you just misunderstood me tbqfwyf.
the commebt 'this nigga' was driected towards him saying he wanted a rebuploc, and then described a tyranny, and mentioned the last official tyrant rome ever had.
but i know subtlety is lost on weaboos, so your lack of understanding what i meant is not suprising.
apologies for not replying sooner as well, i was worried posting elsewhere might be was what was keeping the webms from posting.
