Mappercraft Minecraft Server/Alternate History

This Page is for discussing what would have happened in Earth World History if major or small events had been changed, and if they would have had a significant impact.

The Tamil War
The Tamil War of EW3, although lasting about 15 minutes and ending in complete defeat for the Tamil Empire, would change the course of EW history for good. The members of the Tamil Empire, such as TL, Tomad, KKAP, Soaring Hawk, and Asdf would all be scattered to become influential in world politics, leading to the rise and fall of several empires.

The Tamil War had barely any direct consequences. Although the treaty forged by the Hylivians (who had caused the war behind the scenes and aided Lapania) made several new states, these states were short lived, and some, like Hyderabad, did not even exist for long. Madras itself was abandoned completely, both due to griefs and fear of Hylivian influence, as Hylivia had control of the governments. The only states to survive past the war were Arabia and Zanzibar, which would become important later. The Indian subcontinent would not be touched again for another 2 worlds, when Madras was finally rebuilt by Araga. But the fact that Araga even existed to rebuild Madras was a cause of the war itself.

If the Tamil war never happened, then Osonia would never have risen. Osonia was the nation that led to the mass destruction across most of Western Europe, with cities like Bordeaux, Lyvonis, and Havana being decimated. In the span of a few days, all the major empires of the world had been weakened of collapsed. This power void allowed Lapania to rise to it's short lived dominance, and brought Hylivia out of isolationism. It also led to the creation of nations such as Araga, Arabia, and Asuka.

So If the Tamil War had never happened, here would be the biggest effects:

- Madras would be the largest city on the planet. Before the war, the city was growing at rapid pace, and it is likely that it would have become more and more powerful as time went on. EW3 and even EW4 could have seen a powerful Tamil empire in a cold war of sorts with Lapania.

- Hylivia does not rise to become Praetoria in EW3. One of the biggest causes for Hylivian reform was the Osonian invasion and the period of time that followed. The void in power let Hylivia easily exit isolationism and eventually rival Lapania.

- Lapania remains powerful for longer. the Tamil war proved costly for Lapania, and although it did not remove them, it sent them into a steady decline. Havana never expanded much again and Lapania itself became second in power to Hylivia.

- Donutian Civilization last longer. The Tamil War basically killed Donutian civilization, completely breaking apart it's core members and disproving it's core ideals. While the ideology was bound to collapse at some point, without the Tamil War, Donutian ways would have lasted for longer on the server.

- Vasque is never rebuilt, Armyima never rises. The Destruction of Madras prompted Tomad to eventually settle down in Vasque and rebuild the city. His newfound nation became very influential in Central Europe.

- Darmia retains central European dominance, HRE never exists. While the HRE was short lived, it saw the rise of Araga as the strongest player in Central Europe. Without a Vasque city or HRE to speak of, Darmia would retain it's status as dominant power.

- Australia, Russia, India, and Indonesia never colonized by Europe. The Tamil empire set the stage for colonization in Asia. After Osonia, Extra founded Maekoria in Australia, the first nation to develop the land to much extent. Later on, Extra and tomad wanted to reclaim Vasque city and India for Araga, which led to massive colonization in the area.

- Asia is more relevant. The Tamil Empire marked the last major civilization in mainland Asia aside from Korea. Europe retains dominance in our timeline because of the war, but if Tamil survived, Asia would be much more populous than it is now.

Predictions: I think that a world with Tamil surviving would be one dominated by Asian and American nations. Europe would still be powerful, however the nations of Lapania and Tamil (and their successors) would be far more developed, populous, and powerful. Much of Northern Europe, such as Germany, Russia, Scandinavia, and Poland would remain barren while India, Arabia, East Africa, Indonesia, America, and Mexico would be more developed. Eventually, 3 major powers would emerge: one in the Americas, one in Asia (likely in India,) and one in Europe. Lyvonis would not have been as dominant, and American nations like the PAU could be more powerful.

The Creation of Lyvonis

The League of Free Peoples Succeeded
The League of Free Peoples was meant to destroy the PAU, Starym, and Araga.

Biggest effects if they succeeded:

-No Starym, Araga, or PAU

-About a dozen nationstates for a period of time

-Power Vacuum that would result in the creation of new superpowers to replace Starym, Araga, and PAU

That was their entire goal, so if they succeeded....
