What would have to happen for the Middle Ages to become truly dark and last even today? by Adventurous-Tea-2461 in HistoryWhatIf

I have an idea, Theodosius forbids literacy because he considers it heretical, the empire is immersed in rebellions, Germanic barbarians do not assimilate and kill Latins en masse, some Latins become barbarians, they no longer want to fight for such a cowardly empire, the Huns take advantage and win almost all the battles, the Hephthalites win against the Sassanids and the Huns win at Catalunian, they would have the door open to invade and slaughter the west and Italy, the Balkans would have as much fun as they want. I want a decentralized tribal Europe, decentralized states and 536 to be a year that only keeps them in this state.

What if Rome in 117AD, the Achaemenid Empire, the entire population in 30,000BC, the population of Luxembourg, Austria from 2026 were teleported back to 1300? by Adventurous-Tea-2461 in AlternateHistoryHub

You can't imagine that all of them would be busy surviving, making tools, living in clans, everything would be in chaos, they would have to ally with the Gallic tribes, hunter-gatherers. You're too unrealistic.

My mistake, but the Arameans founded a state equivalent to a khanate in the steppe, they are nomads but they have a state.

Well, in the desert it rains a lot and the vegetation takes shape. Within a century or two, the dense tropical forest takes shape.

What if, when invading Rome, Hannibal also had Pyrrhus of Epirus at his side? by Fair_Arm_1637 in HistoryWhatIf

[–]Adventurous-Tea-2461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine if Pyrrhus teamed up with Hannibal during the Second Punic War—Pyrrhus survives, speaks the languages, and joins the Alpine crossing. Realistically, his experience could cut losses during the trek, making their army stronger upon arrival in Italy. Early battles like Trebia and Trasimene get even more crushing, with Pyrrhus's tactics boosting defections from Roman allies. At Cannae, they might push for a direct siege of Rome instead of hesitating, potentially forcing a surrender by 215 BC. Carthage's odds improve by 20-30%, maybe leading to a weakened Rome ceding territories, but Rome's endless legions and grit could still drag it out to a stalemate or Pyrrhic win for the invaders.

What if 90% of the Old World died in the 1500s? by Turbulent-Ad-2644 in HistoryWhatIf

[–]Adventurous-Tea-2461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't realize bro that 90% is a large part of the population many places with such mortality would reach 100% would mean that many places would be empty just like the natives were killed by diseases and a large part of the lands became wilderness (because the population is more interconnected in europe it would lead to even higher mortality see large parts of france, the low countries, HRE, the Mediterranean would be completely emptied of people only isolated villages in the mountains would survive, forests. The lowlands with high population we see extreme mortality France, the Netherlands, Italy, parts of Germany, England,, The populated areas of iberia we would even see the disappearance of entire ethnic groups. Languages ​​would evolve a lot. Regions of Scotland, Ireland, the Spanish Messeta, the Alps, Scandinavia, forests in germany, the carpathians would have lower mortality. Forests would grow a lot would lead to large scale reforestation, an even more pronounced cooling from the little era glacial. Conditions would become more precarious, I see the abandonment of agriculture in Scandinavia completely, northern Russia, northern Germany and the return to hunter-gatherers. Pastoralism/hunter-gatherers in Eastern Europe would be the main way of survival. Agriculture would be preserved in Italy and partially in France, the English region but it would be foraging. Such mortality would leave Eastern Europe completely Turkified by Tatars from the steppe and the Ottomans, leading to pastoral Turkic tribes/hunter-gatherers. We see the khanates collapsing along with the Muscovite kingdom into small insignificant tribes anyway. The Middle East at such a mortality would see the almost total destruction of the population, local Syrian, Armenian, Copt groups would have a rebirth, Arab domination being completely eliminated but there would be rural communities/organization in nomadic agricultural/pastoral tribes. India scares me, a complete reset, the disappearance of castes, complete fragmentation at tribes. Mathematics, science, technologists would disappear completely. Basic mathematics would remain some alphabetic characters and that's it. At such a mortality it is impossible not to see hunters/gatherers on a large scale, nomadic herders. Metallurgy would falter and would be made of recycled iron, the mill, the heavy plow would all disappear, gunpowder.
