My tribute to my all time favorite book, and the book that first introduced me to alternate history.

Starting in the 14th century, when a second wave of the black death which is concentrated solely in Europe decimates the entire population in the continent, Muslims from around the edges migrate in. The Ottomans recolonize the Balkans and Italy, the Berbers migrate into Iberia, France, and Britain, but the bulk of Europe is colonized by the Golden Horde and other Islamic Central Asians (this last group later creates the Empire of Skandistan). Scientific Development is always about 80 years behind in our world (starting when the Americas are discovered 80 years behind schedule). Though the current year is 2081 in the Christian calendar, technology is almost exactly where it was in 2001.

When China discovered the Americas in the 1580s (or, as it refers to them 'Yingzhou' and 'Inka') it did so when a fleet that was sent to conquer Japan flew off course and landed on California. By then, the Ming Dynasty was slowly being replaced by the Qing, and Japan was slowly being swallowed by China. When China ended up conquering Japan, large numbers of Japanese migrated to the interior of the continent and to the Iroquois league, where they tried to modernize the natives. When China began expanding past the rocky mountains, they were surprised to find Japonified Natives who had already converted to Buddhism. The fact that both the Chinese and the Muslims colonized the New World slower, and that the Japs were migrating and merging with the Natives meant that a lot more of North America still retains its Native American Roots. Today, though the government and all of the rich people live in California, their have been tensions with the Tribes, some of whom were never forcibly colonized and only joined the Yingzhou League after the War.

After a Scientific Revolution across the Muslim World, the Industrial Revolution occurred in Travancore, India, in the 1800s. A Travancori Leader unites the Hindu States that have been under continued domination from the Mughals and conquers all the way to Constantinople (destroying the Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal empires along the way). After his assassination, the Indian (or Travancori) League is formed in Southern India, and pushes northward. India become (along with the few remaining Natives in the New World) to become the World's first democratic nation. It establishes its own colonies in Africa and Australia (saving some tribes like the Zulu and Basutho from Islamic Domination, while spreading Hinduism to those tribes).

The Old World powers spread globally across continents, and around 1900, China grants its colonies in Yingzhou independence (they unite with the remaining independent tribes to form the Yingzhou League). After several Muslim revolts in China, the Qing lead a campaign of conquest across Central Asia. The entire Islamic World unites in furry and eventually all of the Islam majority nations join the alliance of Dar al-Islam against China. The Two Democratic Nations:Yingzhou and India, at first try to remain neutral, but eventually Muslim armies invade both of thos nations as well.

A full description i shall make later.
