Key points to the timeline
1353
90% of all Europeans die from the Black Death (No reason behind this)
The 60% death rate is still the same for the rest of the world
Anatolia is not considered part of Europe in this case
The rest of the world is slow to react but soon Granada, begin colonising the now desolate north
Ottomans having been pushed out of Anatolia migrate further north into Eastern Europe as well
15th century
Tamerlane decides to attack China in fear of the destruction wrought by the plague in Europe
Chagatai and Northern Yuan easily falls to tamerlane, so does northern Tibet
The Gansu corridor falls quickly to Tamerlane, but his campaign is cut short due to his death in 1412
The Lan Dynasty is founded, named after the city of Lanzhou . It is led by Turkish descendants of Tamerlane, they continue to attack China and eventually unify China within the end of the century
The Tumu crisis occurs but instead of Oirats, it’s the Lan Dynasty and it’s northern subjects, which include the Four Oirats
The crisis results in the annexation of Northern China by the Lan Dynasty and Ming is reduced to a rump state in the south, that immediately falls into civil war
Taiwan is colonised by Ming refugees and Ming loyalists
Greek Kingdoms emerge in Anatolia, along with Kurdish, Armenian, Lazes and Turkish Kingdoms
16th century
The japanese invasion of Korea is successful
Europe is almost completely colonised by Muslims
Iberia is mostly Moors and later Berber immigrants
The balkans are under Ottoman control
Much of Eastern Europe is colonised by Mongols and subjects, consisting of many turkic groups, Chinese and Persians
Note this is because in this timeline the Lan Dynasty has very close connections to the Timurid successor states and the Mongol successor states, such as the Golden Horde. This is because they claim to be heirs of Tamerlane and Ghenghis Khan, due to being descendants of Tamerlane and also having control over Mongolia. Kind of like the Ottomans claiming to be heirs to Rome
Scandinavia is claimed by many at this point but no real permanent settlements have been done by Islamic nations
Enclaves of nordic people’s coming from Iceland and Greenland are scattered loosely around the North Sea landmasses
France, now called Nsara, is settled by a group of migrants from all over the Islamic world, including Armenians, Yemenis, Arabs from the Levant and Northern Africa, Turks
This is due to the the more accepting and open nature of Nsara, being the only islamic nation which treats women and all ethnicities equally, unlike the Arab dominated sultanates of the rest of Dar Islam
They follow a new sect of Islam called Shīʿatu Nsara shortened to Shisara
Mughal Empire never appears due to extended occupation of Northern India by a stronger Timurid Empire
17th century
A huge war erupts between the Jurchens and Lan Dynasty
Eventually in ends after Japan invades and subjugates the Jurchens
Due to a huge surge in islamic converts in Japan, the Shogunate chooses to isolate the entire nation
Thus Japan, Korea is completely cut off from trade with the world
Manchuria although nominally under japanese control, is completely autonomous as the Shogunate communicates to the subjugated Jurchens less and less due to his isolationist policy
The Kumamoto massacre occurs as the cities islamic adherents are all killed
China is unified under the Lan Dynasty
Taoists and Buddhists flee en masse into Taiwan and South East Asia and India, leading to North East India being very Chinese
Indonesia remained Buddhist in this timeline as well
The East Coast of America begins to be colonised by Buddhists fleeing persecution
The east Coast of the Americas begin to get colonised by Arab settlers, mainly by Shiites fleeing the rest of Dar Islam due to persecution
18th Century
Large scale revolts in China with Taoist and Minority Religion rebellions occurring throughout southern China
India unifies under the Hyderabad Empire
Jurchens invade China dragging Japan into the war
