The problem with that is that not was Dai Viet militarily stronger, more populous and better organized, but the 'Islam' practiced by the Champa was extremely heterodox--they spent more time declaring jihad on other Champa than they did fighting any outsider. The structures of Champa society were...

...that there are a few generations of syncretism and wary coexistence between Islam and Buddhism before the Muslims gain enough of an institutional* or popular advantage to launch a 'renewal' movement that expels most pagan beliefs and consolidates power. The biggest roadblock in the scenario...

A stub based on two interesting coincidences I found scrolling Wikipedia 1. A minor Roman patrician, Nebridius (fl.c.370-410) was the son-in-law of Gildo, a schismatic rebel that united Kabylia behind him in the 390s, and a female-line relative of the Theodosians; he was also a frequent...

...soon bogs down as the rebels swarm over the horsemen; in the chaos, Henry's bodyguards are overrun and he is dragged from his horse and killed*. The cry goes up that the King is Dead, the morale of the loyalists breaks and they flee the field. What next? My expectation is that the rebels...

>know by his supporters as the ‘Sheikh of slaughter’ Good Lord. Nothing good, evidently

I've drifted back to this idea over the last couple days and done some more reading on it, particularly Ten Thousand Years of Cultivation at Kuk Swamp in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea and The Huon Gulf and its hinterlands: A long-term view of coastal-highlands interactions. My conclusions...

In a timeline I'm working on, Russia is split into a weird three-way 'federalism' from 1951 to 1954, with a republic run out of Novogorod and two 'governorships' an the Cis-Volga and Trans-Volga, whose leaders are nominally appointed by a democratic assembly. In practice, the governorships are...

I've spent a few hours contemplating alternatives to Christianity amongst the Germanic tribes. The mystery religion that stood out the most was the Cult of Isis/Isiacism, which was semi-popular across the Mediterranean Basin, because at least two kings of the Alemanni (Mederic and...

Rather...unfortunate....scenario that occured to me yesterday THE CLINTONING 42. Bill Clinton (D-AR) / Al Gore (D-TN) (1993-2001) (def. Bush/Quayle 1992, Dole/Kemp 1996) 43. Al Gore (D-TN) / Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) (2001-2009) (def. Bush/Cheney 2000, McCain/Bush (?) 2004) 44. Hillary Clinton...

The desert sand and the night wind were cold against her burning skin. It had been worse than usual, a harder run over worse ground, and her lungs burned for air with each short, sharp pant, but she couldn’t risk breathing now. Couldn’t risk any noise, not anything. She lay crumpled at the...

As I mentioned in the original post, the most likely ending of a Clayton presidency is Jackson being elected in 1828, but this would reduce the significance of his presidency to essentially being a speedbump on the road to Jacksonianism. A much more interesting prospect is Clayton being...

To be explained later: 1825 - 1829: Thomas Clayton (F-DE) / John C. Calhoun (DR-SC) 1829 - 1833: Thomas Clayton (NR-DE) / John Sergeant (NR-PA) 1833 - 1837: Andrew Jackson (D-TN) / John C. Calhoun (D-SC) 1837 - 1841: William Henry Harrison (NR-OH) / Levi Lincoln (NR-MA)

Continuing: I'll turn this into a thread if there's interest.

...a 'back-from-the-brink' Federalist win in 1824 to discover it's basically a retread of the Quincy Adams presidency with slightly different names. *Sigh* In short, Crawford doesn't have his stroke and goes on to win a unified Democrat-Republican nomination. At this point, the Federalists are...

Exactly what it says on the tin. I'll elaborate later, but as of now I'm tired and logging off.

Very much so. Race relation is effectively a bloody ulcer; segregation is still legal in many areas and race riots and paramilitaries are commonplace. Interracial marriage is also broadly criminalized; effective the nadir of race relations dragged out another half-century. As for immigration...
