What about if the Free Silver movement won out? Have William Jennings Bryan win the 1896 election, adopt part or all of the Free Silver platform, then you have a ton of silver coins floating around for decades to come. That might delay the adoption of paper money quite a bit.

The way I see it, the main thing you'd need to do is have them migrate and set up shop in the eastern steppes and gain enough power in that area to challenge and conquer parts of China when they eventually go through a period of instability. The resultant dynasty, as every other conquest...

It's a scenario based on Undertale, IIRC.

Inspired by GriffinFTW's Stolas Flag, I made a quick vexilloid of Hell. I chucked a few things together here and there. The apple (representing knowledge/original sin) is branded with the Sigil of Lucifer and is originally from the Krimulda Municipality coat of arms. The wreath is a heavily...

No, no, if it's the HRE, you need to make it more hellish.

In the future, you'd probably get better help in the Requests thread, but I made some edits for you of Iant2001's full version of the flag on Reddit. Here's a version where the swastika is made into a cross: And a version where the swastika is removed entirely:

I think to actually determine how powerful a France like this would be, we'd have to look into how holding their colonies in Africa would differ from the Francafrique policy that ended up being implemented. Is holding a sphere of influence in French Africa less beneficial to the French than...

I'm curious about that assessment! I mean, it seems common sense to me that Napoleon living would lead to an even stronger France, since he was generally undefeated in battle and the main reason why his empire fell so completely was because of the succession crisis after his death. I think I...

The idea of 'natural borders' is one that was only adopted on a widespread scale after the French Revolution, so what if France never kept its natural borders into the modern day, perhaps being reverted to its borders before the revolution? How would this affect the Industrial Revolution...

There was a small window of time where Morgenthau was second in line to succeed Truman if something happened to him. That might lead to an implementation in at the very least the American occupation zone. How far that implementation goes and for how long is anyone's guess, but it'd likely lead...

As far as local effects, we might see a more prosperous Belarus. The steam explosion essentially annihilated any chance for the southern half of the country to be used for anything, and the sheer humanitarian crisis afterwards led to a loss of life and resources that was (and still is) hard to...

The province of Ontario wouldn't get the idea from the UK's example to implement it around the Golden Horseshoe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenbelt_(Golden_Horseshoe) Most likely leads to a more spread out population in the GTHA and possible sprawl from that area into cities like Guelph.

A Strasser-ruled Nazi Germany might resemble what you're looking for with a POD early into the NSDAP's existence. Maybe an occupied Benelux region with Strasserist policies would work if you're looking for something specifically in Belgium/the Netherlands.

A later germ theory would almost certainly butterfly away efforts to improve sanitation in large cities from the early 19th century, which could greatly complicate the explosive growth of cities like Prague caused by the Industrial Revolution. In fact, they might be cesspools of disease for a...

A remake of the Cape Republic flag from the Victoria 2 mod Divergences of Darkness:
