Flo's History

    This post is following the last 4 ones. Make sure to read Genghis-Khan full history in part 1-4 of his adventures.   Now this is where the fun part begins. Rem em ber when I said he smashed the Jurchen and Song Dynasty?  That was an avant bouche compared to the apocalyptical level of devastation Genghis - Khan would  unleash  on this region.  I f the Middle East was earth, the  Mongol  hor d e s   were  a KT extinction e vent.  There is  a reason why  a lot of people put the end of the Islamic Golden  A ge on Genghis - Khan . A lthough it  would have ended anyway ,  he  definitely expedited  the process. No ,  seriously !   T he Islamic heartland really got the short end of the stick when it comes to Mongol interactions.   And starting off with the big daddy of the region, the  K h war a z main   E mpire.  A major powerhouse of the  area , they cemented t...

This post is following the last 3 ones. Make sure to read Genghis Khan’s full history in part 1–3 of his adventures. Japan would also be significantly affected. No Yuan dynasty means no invasion of the island country, which would fail due to typhoons—this is a very big deal. The reason why Japan during most of the Middle Ages and Renaissance era was an isolationist martial society defined by the samurai bushido code was due to the Yuan trying to invade them on two separate occasions. This means that without the Yuan, the Japanese people would be far more open to trade with other nations, mainly China and Korea. The Sengoku Jidai may not happen, or at least nowhere near the extent it did, as with a far less militaristic society the clan leaders would be less inclined to solve the succession disputes that caused the conflict on the battlefield. As such, the Tokugawa Shogunate would never be formed, alongside the era of hyper-isolation they enforced until the US stepped in and led to the ...

This is the third post of the Ghenghis-Khan saga. Make sure to read Genghis-Khan's full history in part 1 and 2 of his adventures.   This means, as I mentioned earlier, that without him, the Yuan dynasty would have never existed. I don’t think that I need to explain how much of Chinese history would change if one of their major dynasties was Thanos-ed out of history. Not only would this disrupt future ones from emerging, meaning no Ming and no Qing, but potentially preventing the Century of Shame from taking place.   All of the direct influence that the Yuans had on their neighbors would also be erased. Without them, Majapahit (meaning “bitter fruit” in Indonesian), probably the greatest Indonesian kingdom, would have never formed as the Yuan were a crucial force in their origins. We are talking about a nation that encompassed the entire archipelago, producing some of the most famous Hindu-Buddhist religious sites, which would have never been constructed! Figures like R...
