What if Iran was still Zoroastrian?

To answer my own question, if Iran remained Zoroastrian, assuming that the Arabs never conquered it, the Timurids might have been Zoroastrian, which means that the Mughals might have been Zoroastrian, which means instead of Islamabad we could be talking about "Mazdabad".

Or maybe the Timurids would've been Tengriist and Buddhist... maybe a Buddhist Iran ? It would probably result in more Buddhist extremism with Buddhists fighting Muslims. The "Taliban of Buddhism" might not just be a phrase...

What if Elizabeth wasnt successful and the spanish invaded England?

"Ruled Britannia by Harry Turtledove" Havent read it but looks like a very good book.

What if Mehmet 2 conquered Italy too?

Rome would be lost to Islam and the Medditerean Shall be contested bewteen Spain and Ottoman. Vienna would had a backdoor and would have fallen. Germany would be taken down.
What if Elizabeth wasnt successful and the spanish invaded England?
A massive revolt would have kicked them out before Phillip can even exceuted Elizabeth
What if Russia invaded Istanbul at 18 th century?

They would have gotten their ass whooped if your talking about 1700-1750. If after that, massive casaulties on both sides, Turkey force to agree in unfair treaty

What if the Ancient Egyptians survived the Romans, the Muslims, and the Mongols?

Muslims weren't even around at the time of the decline of Ancient Egypt.

Infact it was the Christians who destroyed Egypt. the Christians destroyed the temples, captured all the priests and civilians who still believed in there Polytheistic religion, sold them as slaves to Arabs and Europeans, destroyed everything else, and the people of Egypt continued in there agricultural lives, only with a new religion, Christianity and later Islam.

What if Russia invaded Istanbul at 18 th century?

you said invaded. Not captured. Turkey would've fought of the russians. But if the balkan states, greece and friends were to foresee the fall of the Ottomans, then they might ally with the russians, against ottoman rule, then the balkan wars would've started alot earlier and see many new european states as an outcome of it.

 

[Quildavyr]

^^Let's say captured,what happens then

 

[TheLastOne36]

Same/similar thing would happen. Balkan states will still think of this as a decline of the ottoman empire, then they will revolt.

But more i think about it, This could've stopped WWI and WWII from happening...

 

[Angst]

^^
If Germany was united, France fx. might become afraid of them and ally themselves with England, then to declare war.

 

[Quildavyr]

Umm if wwI wasnt happened,there will be no Turkey,Ottoman Empireeee!!

 

[TheLastOne36]

^^ and if WWI did happen, then there would be a turkey/ottoman empire without a Constantinople/Istanbul

 

[aronnax]

I think something similar to the Turkisk War of Indepedence would happen. After all we aint talking about some state in the Balkans, we are talking about the Turkish Capital, where Turks are the majority, where it is their homeland

 

[chad187]

What if the sino soviet split didnt happen?

 

[mr_lewington]

what if south america and north america just vanished

 

[chad187]

What if the Mongols made it to Egypt?

 

[aronnax]

What if the Mongols made it to Egypt?

They would have found the sand to stuffy and left

 

[onejayhawk]
