POST INDEPENDENCE MONGOLIAN (ALT)-HISTORY THREAD I'm creating this thread as a compilation of information, sources, research and timelines for Post Independence and Late Qing Era Mongolia based alternate histories. This is a super niche topic with barely any English academic research so my...

So I found out a few days ago about Altan Khan, a powerful Mongol ruler who led several raids into Ming China's northern borders and attacked Beijing's suburbs in 1550, with the wikipedia article on him saying he actually laid siege to the city but providing no other information about it other...

I was wondering about this idea for a long time now: What if nomads of central asia (turks and mongols) kept their traditional faith and never converted to islam and buddhism? Your challenge is to make this happen. And if you manage to do this, how do you think this will affect the history of...

what if Tang retain these borders until 10th century and Sinicize all their territory like caliphate islamize it's territory ? POD is Gaozong remains healthly and kill Wu for instrigues and retains the empire's borders

The Keraites were one of the strongest tribes in medieval Mongolia and one of the few that converted to Christianity, being one of the possible origins of the Prestor John legend. What if instead of Temujin's Borjigins, the Keraites unified Mongolia and conquered half of Asia? Would Nestorianism...

I love history, and when I read historical sources about the history of Genghis Khan, I was surprised to find that most of these historical clans today form the backbone of my nation. Today, historical tribes such as "Naiman, Kerey, Dulat, Zhalair, Katagan, Alban, Kongurat" are among the most...

Let's say the Qing/Later Jin are defeated by one of the Chinese factions during the fall of the Ming Dynasty (Shun, Xi, Southern Ming), and we'll say it's a very costly defeat with multiple banner armies wiped out entirely. What is the likely outcome for the areas imediately north of China? Are...

Hey all, So as we all know, the Kuomintang was forced to evacuate mainland China for Taiwan in 1949. The Chinese Civil War may be de facto over, but the Kuomintang government in Taiwan is still known as the "Republic of China," still claims to be the rightful government over all of China, and...

Nothing says the territory controlled by the Qing dynasty necessarily had to get extensive as it did, at least AFAIK. Your challenge is to have the Qing empire consist solely of Manchuria, China proper, and Inner Mongolia.

Warning! This might be a prologue while it is [still] under construction. #DanishKorea - "Danish Korea" #DanishFarEast - "Danish Far East" So, I would show to you mates what does Side B mean, through a map I edited seen below: So, if not only the Danish would have colonised the whole Korean...

What happens if the Ming Dynasty China decided to conquer Mongolia and annexed it, rather than going on the defensive in OTL? How would they be able to accomplished it? How would it impact on the world where Mongolia is conquered by the Ming Dynasty earlier than the Qing? The time will be...

The Battle of Mobei in 119 BCE, waged between the confederated nomadic tribes of the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty of China, might as well have been one of decisive consequences for all of the Eurasian landmass. As a result of the Xiongnu defeat in this engagement and, ultimately, the Han-Xiongnu...

After Mao takes power in China, is it possible for him to invade Mongolia and annex it? Can this happen without the USSr threatening to go to war over this? And if so when’s the best time for Mao to do so?

As part of a secret project I'm working on, it involves delving into China, mainly as a Republic (though I suppose it'd probably be more like a Parlimentary Republic with maybe an executive President). Now, the big thing I am figuring out is on what would happen to Tibet, Xinjiang/Dzungaria and...

Is it possible for China to permanently hold onto Mongolia, Korea, Siberia, Central Asia, and Tibet for centuries? Can China be able to find ways to hold them down permanently like settler colonization and whatnot? And through that is it possible for them to take control of other areas in...

I don't want to start a discussion about if the Manchus were chinese or not, but most of the modern chinese dislike a lot the Qing dynasty since they were ruled by manchus and not by Han, period. Now, now, on a scenario were the Ilkhanate survived further than the 1600s AD, could some kind of...

If you know don't know the story of Roman Von Ungern Sternberg....what the hell have you been doing with your life? Learn about him. I and a lot of the Kaiserreich community call him Genghis Khan II Anyways, after he conquered Mongolia, Lenin saw he was the only threat to the Soviets now, and...

I know this is the third Mongolia topic I've done, but I've noticed that while Sternberg had become a mini-trope himself, his superior Gregori Semenov never really had been a particular feature of a timeline besides as a footnote. Unlike the mad monarchist, Semenov was a genuine pan-Mongolist...

If the Mongols had conquered Hungary thoroughly, and settled Cumans, Tatars, and Mongols in the former kingdom, establishing a new khanate which was able to survive and eventually Christianize into a kingdom, then what would the effects be on medieval Europe?

As one of the most bizarre and ambitious characters in history, what the largest plausible area that Baron Roman von Ungern Sternberg could have conquered? Would he always have been the "power behind the throne" of Mongolia or any other potential conquests, or could Roman have been coronated...
