From Cape Tiburon to Cape Samaná - A United Hispaniola Timeline Foreword From a young age, the story of Haiti fascinated me, a republic of slaves who broke the shackles of the French Empire, and seized their freedom. Unfortunately, such idyllic romanticized scenarios of a republic of...

Poland was freed from the Warsaw Pact finally, but that was not enough for many angry citizens. Who's to say communism won't rise in Poland again? Who's to say Russia won't invade them for leaving? The Polish now have a strong desire to go farther to the right, and more want to get revenge on...

The Liang dynasty was one of the Southern Dynasties, established by Xiao Yan, also known as Emperor Wu of the Liang (r. 502-549). He was a dynamic ruler whose reign was marked by unprecedented cultural and military advancements; the capital, Jiankang (modern Nanjing), became the world's most...

Robert II, Duke of Normandy Aka Robert Curthose was the eldest son of William I of England. Despite this he was passed over in succession 3 times. First is when William II and I divided his lands in 1087. Second is when Robert wasn't leading the Rebellion of 1088 against William II. However...

One might remember that during the 1840s, there was growing debate over the idea that America would under go a civil war caused by the debate over slavery. However, such fears didn't come to pass when the middle and lower class southern farmers began to rally in opposition to the unfair...

Sometime around this era, in the 480s BC, there was yet again another attempt by the Egyptians to win their independence from the hated Persians. Herodotus mentions it being in the last years of Darius I and the early years of Xerxes I, and archaeological and epigraphic evidence supports this...

So, I've been thinking about this WI for a while and I think it would be very interesting. The Indonesian Kingdoms would rebel from the Dutch/French during the Napoleonic wars and go on to form a confederation. Though I am new to this forum, I will give it a try. This might be unrealistic. But...

Hello again, you beautiful persons! For a long time, I have been writing an alternative history tale which, although it focuses mainly on the American Civil War and the Confederate States of America, will not fail to show events in Europe, Africa and Asia. In particular, the Sepoys Rebellion in...

During the existence of the Seleucid Empire, from 321-63 BC, there was no major indigenous rebellion against the Seleucids(besides the Maccabean revolt), despite the natives outnumbering the Greeks and Macedonians by a large margin and many of the natives considering them to be foreigners. Why...

Peter Delyan was a Bulgarian noble from Byzantine Balkans who, in 1040, claimed descent from the last Bulgarian Emperor, Samuel I, and rose up in rebellion against the central Byzantine imperial administration with local support, aiming to restore Bulgaria's independence. His revolt was the only...

I am currently researching for an SI story where the protagonist wakes up in the body of one of the leaders of White Lotus Rebellion, likely Wang Cong'er, probably around the year 1796. What would she need to know/do in order for the rebellion to succeed? Bonus points if she can become Empress...

Let's say that, for one reason or another, the An Lushan Rebellion never happened. Maybe An Lushan choked on a dumpling, or maybe he just never decides to rebel. What's more important to me than the why is the consequences for China and the wider world. So, what would happen if An Lushan didn't...

Fakhr al-Din II of the Ma'an dynasty was a Druze political leader active in middle Syria during the early 17th century, notable for uniting the Maronite and Druze groups of modern Lebanon in a military effort against the Ottoman administration of Syria. At a time, he apparently held sway over...

What if the Cossack revolt led by Stenka Razin in early 1670's Russia had been much more successful in its scope? I don't think Razin could have succeeded in utterly destroying the tsarist government -- the boyars, the tsar and the patriarchate were against him for the entirety of the rebellion...

What if Khaydar Al-Afshin, governor of Transoxiana during the early period of the Abbasid Caliphate who was instrumental in the struggle against the northwestern Iranian rebel Babak Khorramdin and the Byzantines in Anatolia, had succeeded in his political struggle against the Abdullah ibn Taher...

Unfortunately, my only English lang source for this is wiki, so... i'll just post this link here. What if the July 1866 uprising of Polish political prisoners/exiles in Siberia, sometimes known as the Irkutsk Uprising, had gained more momentum, perhaps due to more things going according to plan...

Would it be possible for Copts to rebel against their Muslims overlords some time after their conquest? What would be the last possible date for it to happen? As far as I know, after the century of Arab rule, they didn't even dream about such scenario. Who would lead the rebellion? Personally, I...

If Texas, Rio Grande and the Yucatan Rebellions united in some kind of compromise, could this allow this new republic to survive to modern day? I'm thinking that these rebellions might be able to hold off a reconquista if they enter into a military alliance at least. Maybe they create a new...

Lets assume a scenario where the Brussilov Offensive never happens. Instead we see pointless and costly offensives against the German sectors. Basically a string of Lake Naroch Offensives. The Tsar and his demoralized military are convinced that the war is unwinnable and sue for peace...

This post will be dedicated to giving a rough and short analysis of the Zanj Revolt's foundation as stipulated by its leaders and why this was a rebellion unlike the typical. Further, this is a topic that gives opposition to the position that history occurs due to massive factors or the march of...
