What if...? Alternate historical scenarios that could have changed the world? Anonymous 03/20/2025 (Thu) 17:20 [Preview] No. 1729 [X]
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/.
