Alternate History Thread II...

[North King]

Ming. See, Alex knows what he's talking about.

 

[das]

Which world (I suspect that, due to inertion of consciousness, NK still made China Qing)?

 

[North King]

The Guess the PoD that I just posted has a Ming China.

 

[Insane_Panda]

Some fool named Nurhaci is butchered by the glorious Ming Chinese?

 

[North King]

You're looking into this waaaaaaaaaay too hard. It's a very general event.

 

[das]

The Jesuits are more succesful.

 

[Sheep]

Some of theses neses should be played.

 

[das]

The very purpose of this thread is to store althists for future use in NESes.

 

[North King]

No. It's a very simple change, which almost any of you who have ever looked into Alternate History would know the difference immediately.

 

[das]

Zheng He is too easy.

Zheng He is too easy.

And that doesn't explain the huge amounts of territory in the Steppes.

Yongle's invasion against Mongolia suceeded? He didn't die so early? He was suceeded by his more expansionists son instead of the conservative one?

"There exists an opinion" that the Ming China went on the defensive on all fronts after a defeat in Vietnam. Maybe they conquered it, and it (well, most of it) broke away later?

Okay... Maybe something in Indonesia then? Portuguese penetration is even less succesful?

 

[North King]

is all I'll say.

 

[das]

Vasco da Gama:

jumped out of the window, fell on a field of knives and commited harakiri while choking on a peach.

 

[North King]

Wrong side of the supercontinent. Again.

 

[das]

Not necessarily. Who the hell knows where exactly da Gama would do that?

 

[North King]

You HAD the right answer. Sheesh. Just needed to elaborate... (it wasn't the Da Gama one)

 

[conehead234]

Zheng He in the Kitchen with the Candlestick!

 

[erez87]

Zheng He in the Kitchen with the Candlestick!

funny...

 

[North King]

...but so much closer than all this talk of Vasco Da Gama in the Parlor with the katana.
