So I tried to create a full world map with all of our nations; if anyone feels that their territory is wrong, let me know and I'll edit it, or you can edit it on your own to your tastes.
I have a question regarding a piece of the OP. I have a nation in mind to play, however it hinges on another person playing as their sovereign. Basically, playing as an America that never/failed to rebel against the crown and remains under British rule. This would entail another playing as the British from the same timeline as my own United States.
Please re explain what you are saying in more detail. I don't understand.
I sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over the oilfields dropping hot sticky loads on disgusting foreigners. People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I’m fucking retarded but I don’t care, I’m beautiful. I’m having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me “Apache” and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can’t accept me you’re a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding.
Name of Nation: Empire of Jerusalem Leader Name: Baldwin X of Jerusalem Location On Map: Israel, Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Yemen, Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan. Type of Government: Absolute Monarchy Flag:
Brief History (2 to 3 paragraphs): The Point of Divergence in the timeline the Empire of Jerusalem comes from is when Baldwin IV takes the throne. In this timeline, he does not have leprosy, and he is even better at warfare and combat then in our world. Baldwin IV, with help from Holy Rome, France, and England all declared war on Saladin. Within 2 years they had occupied all of Egypt and the Hedjaz region, annexing it into Jerusalem.
After about 5 years, the Pope declared a Crusade for what they called the region of Assyria (Syria and Iraq in our world). All of the little tribes that owned Saudi Arabia in our world at the time joined to fight the Crusade, but where overpowered by the shear strength of the Kingdom of Jerusalem and the Crusaders as a whole. The Pope gave all the land that was occupied and took from the tribes that ruled those places to the Kingdom of Jerusalem. When this happened, Baldwin IV, now known as Baldwin the Great, renamed his nation to the Empire of Jerusalem. Also like our timeline, at least to what historians say, Baldwin IV wore a mask, but in this world, he wore it to scare his enemies. This started a trend with all of the emperors to come.
The Empire of Jerusalem fought several wars around the middle east, majority of them against the Sultanate of Rum, who wanted to expand there borders. The Fatimids, after they recently conquered all the way to Tunis, joined the fight against Jerusalem and joined Rum. The Pope went and joined the war with Jerusalem, declaring another Crusade. By the end of the war, they had occupied majority of Northern Africa, but instead of taking it all, they just took Tunis, and let the Fatimids keep the rest. Tunis was renamed Carthage when Jerusalem took it.
The Empire of Jerusalem stayed relatively peaceful after this up until the Mongolian Invasions began, which is another difference that happened in this timeline. The Battle of Baghdad was the bloodiest battle in the series of wars, known as the Tengri Holy Wars. In the end of it, Jerusalem and the Mongols fought each other to a stalemate.
After the Tengri Holy Wars ended in 1357, and the Mongols having to deal with revolts, Jerusalem was in another period of peace, known as the Pax Jerusalem. In Europe, the Catholics finished off taking the rest of Spain. Above Jerusalem, Byzantium finished off Expanding against Rum and other Islamic dynasties in that area.
Then came the Protestant Reformation, as Jerusalem stayed out of the American colonialism. It began in Carthage in this timeline, and Protestantism spread throughout the Empire, even converting the Brother of the Emperor to the religion. The Brother of the Emperor started a civil war against the current Emperor to make Protestantism the main religion.
The Emperor managed to beat his brother, and put him and those who helped him in the revolt to death by burning out there eyes, tying anchors to there legs, and dropping them into the ocean to drown. The Emperor then started to punish any Protestants in the Empire with Taxes and sometimes death. This caused a very large amount of them to convert out of fear.
After this, the Empire of the Timurids (Tamerlane wont he mongol revolution against the government and the other revolters, and formed his empire), attacked Jerusalem in an attempt to reclaim the land lost in the crusades. It began what would be known as the Shia Conquests, as it was God-Emperor Tamerlane III the Self Proclaimed Shia Caliph going up against the Pope and other Catholic forces to fight them off.
The Shia Conquests where not just about finishing off Jerusalem though, it was also about expanding into India, which they did. They successfully conquered all the way to Delhi before Jerusalem and the United Catholic Armies started to take on the Timurids at full power.
In the year 1560, 40 years after the Jerusalemite Civil war ended, the Shia conquets ended, and ended with new Crusader states stretching from Delhi all the way to Persia by the end of the war. Tamerlane III was put to death in front of the Pope, ending any chance of a second Islamic Expansion.
Jerusalem had to deal with small revolts, and even more Islamic tribes attempting to expand, but each one of them where stopped against Jerusalem. This stayed the same up until the early 1800s, when Napoleon took control of France, and started the First World War. It was the French, Spanish, and English (English supported Napoleon in this because of them both hating the HRE) going up against Holy Rome, Byzantium, Jerusalem, and Russia. Napoleon was able to take Berlin under his control when he stated he would attempt a sea invasion of Jerusalem.
Jerusalem would be the battle that would end the war, Napoleon was captured, the English Prince murdered, and the Spanish Kingdom fully occupied by the HRE. Napoleon was put to death by the Emperor of Jerusalem, and was beheaded. The Pope split up France, England, and Spain into other Smaller nations, with examples being Aragon and Normandy.
This Timelines Earth stayed peaceful once again until 1905, when the Second World War began. A friend of the King of Normandy (Who Conquered all of the little kingdoms in France, England, and Spain) killed the Archduke of the Holy Roman Empire, which started the war between the two nations.
The Kingdom of Normandy, the United Republic of America, and the Russian Empire fought against The Holy Roman Empire, the Empire of Jerusalem, Byzantium, and the Holy Kingdom of Indo-Persia (All of the Crusader States formed during the war against Tamerlane where united as one kingdom). The war ended in a Victory for the Papal Alliance (The Side with Jerusalem), and the treaty of Carthage was signed. This treaty weakened the Kingdom of Normandy by forcing them to give everything from Paris westward to Holy Rome and by forcing them to pay 50% taxes to Jerusalem.
A young fascist revolutionary took control of the Kingdom of Normandy in 1932, named Louis Hieler. He stated that the land lost in WW2 should belong to Normandy. When he took power, he began a mass genocide of those who where not French. This was enough to rouse up all the nations who where in Ww2 to fight back against Normandy, in what would be known as Ww3.
Normandy was able to quickly destroy all of Holy Rome, conquering 3/4 of it and leaving the other 1/4 to form the Fascist Germanic Kingdom. Jerusalem and Byzantium advanced upwards into southwestern Germany when Russia joined the war against Normandy.
The United Republic of America started a naval expansion in what would be known as D-Day, or the invasion of the Spanish Coast (Portugal is apart of Spain, or in this case Normandy, in this timeline). This was too much for Normandy, and on September 1st, 1945, Louis Hieler killed himself. This would also be the same day that WW3 ended.
This was the last major event in the timeline of this nation, they have remained peaceful since this event. Main Export (Up to 3): Oil, Pearls, and Weapons Main Import (Up to 3): Organic Food, Stone, and Lumber Cultural Description (2 to 3 paragraphs): The Culture of the Empire of Jerusalem is French, with some Arabic things here and there. Majority of the Empire looks French, because of assimilation and Immigration (In this Timeline, Napoleon still took control of France, which led to a good amount of those wanting to escape Napoleon moving to the Empire of Jerusalem), and over 80% of the population is Catholic. In fact, one of the main things in the Empire is a holiday celebrating Saint Charlemagne, because in there timeline, he became a Saint.
Another holiday in there culture is the day of the Iron Mask, the anniversary of When Baldwin IV defeated Saladin and took Egypt. On that Holiday, majority of the people go out and where Metal Masks that have the flag of the Empire of Jerusalem painted on them.
The Main language of the Empire is French, with minorities of Greek and Arabic speaking communities in the Empire. The Capital is Jerusalem, which is one of the Largest cities on Earth. Jerusalem also has the largest statue on Earth, of Saint Baldwin IV, Emperor of Jerusalem. Other Large cities include Carthage, the Second Largest city in the Empire, and Mecca, which holds majority of the Arabic speaking population in the Empire. Main Religion: Catholicism is the State Religion. Protestant and Orthodox make up 7 and 8 Percent themselves, and Islam made up the other 5%. (80% Catholic, 7% Orthodox, 8% Protestant, and 5% Islamic)

For 10 years, Baldwin X was trained by Louis, up until he was 14. Baldwin had developed a minor superiority complex, he had ADHD and OCD, and he was a little insane, but he was also insanely powerful physically and mentally. After Baldwin X left the tutelage of Louis he joined the Royal College in Paris in his timeline. There, he honed his strength and intelligence, but he also met the person who would end up being his wife, the princess of England in his timeline, named Victoria.
At 17, Baldwin and Victoria both left the royal college and moved to Jerusalem. They got married at Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Six months later, Franco died and Baldwin took the throne, taking the lead of the strongest nation in his timeline. Currently, his wife is pregnant with there child.
Welcome to Battle Earth, A world, like the ones who all originally game from, the same continents, the same land masses, but not the same empires. You are surrounded by other nations that like you, have been taken from your original world, into a world of strangers and new empires. Are you, great leader, ready to attempt to fight off all of these new nations, in this Convergence of Earths.
Welcome to Convergence of Earths, an RP that is based off the current even going on in Marvel Comics going on known as convergence, but instead of superheroes, you shall all be leading nations surrounded in Alt Histories. Does your nation come from a world where Rome never fell, or where Charles Martel failed, or even where the Caliphate never rises. All of these possibilities, and so many more are up to you, and the best part is, that in your history you don't have to involve any other playable nation in it, because you all don't know each other, and you all come from different universes.
Technology on Battle Earth is modern, as are all of your nations. You where transported January 1st, 2015. Technological advancement is going to be allowed, and expected in your nation. So those are the only real limitations on technology, nukes are allowed, guns are allowed, any current technology is allowed.
Your Nations are going to, of course, be led by a leader. How this leader leads is up to you, is he cruel, nice, honest, hell, a priest, any of things are allowed. Only thing that isn't allowed for Leaders are being completely spectacle and a perfect human (All humans have flaws).
Warfare is going to revolve around two things, who has better tech, and who has more armies. If you play as, so to say, a Chinese-Indian union, you will have an insane amount of troops, but because of that you are not allowed to be as advanced. While if you play as a smaller nation with less population, you are allowed to be more advanced. What I am saying here is limit yourself, if your nation has loads of pop, you can't be the most advanced nation on battle earth, but if your nation is smaller, you can be advanced.
So I know what you want to know now, actually creating your nation, and that is simple. You see that map I posted above, that is the map we shall use, any province that has not been pervasively claimed is allowed for use in this RP. That does sadly limit how many nations are allowed, but hey, first come first serve. You guys are also not allowed super empires, at most, you can control as much as the Mongol Empire. Lastly, have fun while creating your nation, but be realistic, no alien interference, no gods ruling, and no Genocide Nukes, at least, not yet.

Yonistan History
The origins of the Arachosian state begins with the conquests of Alexander the Great and the creation of the Selucid Empire after his death. The Greco-Bactrian Kingdom was created around 250 BC by a rebel satrap named Diodotos, creating the easternmost point in the Hellenistic World, and one of the richest and most urbanized kingdoms in the East. When the Seleucid Empire was destroyed by the Ptolemaic Empire, the Bactrian Kingdom became cut off from the rest of the western world when the Parthians created their own Empire.
They had not extended much except for into Ferghana, until the conquests of the general Demetrios Aniketos, who extented the Greek territories into the Indus River Valley following the fall of the Maurya Empire. From here, the Greeks established many kingdoms, the greatest being that of the Punjab centered king Menander. Menander was well renowned as a conquer, and soon, he began unifying the various countries of the Indo-Greeks and Greco-Bactrians. Soon after, Menander began invading northwest India. During the two centuries of their rule, the Indo-Greek kings combined the Greek and Indian languages and symbols, and blended Hindu, Buddhist and ancient Greek religious practices. Buddhism was declared the official religion of the Indo-Greek State. The Indo-Greeks became a powerhouse at this time, annexing more of the northwest of India and taking back lost parts of Bactria that were stolen by Steppe Nomads. However, the Indo-Greek Power was not to last, and soon the nomadic Indo-Scythians began vicious raids upon the state, and while the Scythians were ultimately repelled, the unified nation could not handle the stress of a later Parthian and Kushian invasion. The Kingdom fell to pieces, with much of the Indian conquests reverting back. However, the Greek Culture stayed strong, except in the far North where the Kushans reigned supreme. During this period, many small hellenistic kingdoms rose up, and began conquering and fighting each other, the only real threats being the rising Sassanian Empire in the East and Gupta Empire in the East who often took chunks of land from the hellenic nations, but by the year 400 AD, the Indus River Valley was a still a hellenistic region, with descendant languages of Greek popping up, Old Arachosian, Taxillian, and Eschatese among the most significant.
Around 643 AD traders from the west arrived near the Indus River from the Arabian Peninsula, bringing their strange customs to the Indo-Greek States; of particular interest was the traders' strange beliefs. It was only a matter of time before the Arabs would conquer the region they called Al-Yuna. The Indo-Greek area was absorbed as a frontier territory for the Umayyad Caliphate. For the most part, this era was uneventful, with the longest time of peace since the long passed Indo-Greek Kingdom. With the security of the Umayyads, the Indo-Greeks began returning to their historic lands, returning Hellenic culture to places it was long lost. In addition, Islam began spreading rapidly among the Indo-Greeks, moving beyond trade centers. Due to its central position, the city of Alexandria Arachosia became a regional power within Al-Yuna.
During the decline and fall of the Umayyads, the Indo-Greeks managed to fight their way to independence, establishing a large nation centered around the Indus River loyal to the Umayyads as the Abbasid Dynasty rose to power. The new Sultanate of Yunistan was constantly at war with the Abbasids, granted they were never considered a true theat by the Caliphs, and as such never were faced against major armies. That changed when the Sultanate was conquered by the Mongol forces of the Ilkhanate. Eventually however, the Ilkhanate would disintegrate, followed shortly after by the Timurids. However, before the Timurids could conquer the Yona, they began a counter offensive, with another great general named Demitrios leading the offensive against them using tactics developed from centuries of fighting steppe nomads and learning what they had under the Mongol Rule. Through the actions of Demitrios, the 2nd Sultanate of Yonistan had been established from the Ashes. Demitrios decided to extend the rule of the Empire once more, and with the blessings of the Sultan, attacked India, once again taking back many historical territories, and later taking an army to conquer territories in Central Asia.
Through the establishment of a strong military, Yonistan was able to defend itself and establish a long golden age after so many ages of subjugation and fragmentation. The great nation of Yonistan was a powerhouse on a global level, attracting many European and East Asian traders. The Yonistanis had become a nation of Bactrian, Persian, Arab, Mongol and Indian influences on a Greek base. They became close allies with the Ottomans, accepting their leader as the Caliph, and learning much from them through trade. The Yonistanis started adopting the capture of children to form an elite fighting force from the Ottomans, using Indians instead of Christians. These children were converted and taught to speak Ionian and Classical Greek, along with traditional logic and classical education. They were named the Hetairoi (ἑταῖροι), after the Elite Fighters of the Macedonian Soldiers who gave rise to the Yonastanis.
During the European Age of Colonialism, Yonistan became targeted by the British and French Empires, but for the most part the Yonistanis were able to resist the efforts of colonization and often went to war with any colonial powers who got too close to them. Inspite of their heritage, many nations no longer saw the Yonistanis as Europeans.
By the Industrial Age, Yonistan was one of the first truly industrial nations, and built extensive infrastructure to boost their production. WW1 proved disasterous for the Yonistanis, with them supporting their long standing ally the Ottomans, who had begun to decline significantly, and when the Central Powers fell, Yonistan was brought under British rule as part of the Treaty of Versailles. However, they once again rebelled during World War 2 and managed to free themselves, and then resigning as soon as possible from the war.
By the Modern Era, Yonistan had begun the shift over to a democratic government, and once again became a regional power, once again on the rise to a major power, and by the year 2015, they were indeed so, with a very powerful military, including nuclear weapons. Yonistan has enough power to get much of what it wants done. Their last major battle was with the Caliphate of Ethiopia, a renegade nation formed by an Islamic Radicalist revolution (that it is possible Yonistan created). Yonistan saw the need to end them, and using an excuse of supposed attack on their land, attacked and ruined the nation, turning Ethiopia into a failed state with no government simply to prove a point about their military.
China History The Point of Divergence in this timeline is the Year 0 DS (Duōnián de shén, Years of God), the year that Yēsū Jīdū, more commonly known as Jesus Christ, was born in the city of Bejing. The parents of Yēsū Jīdū where two Jewish Converts who where merchants. They say that the day Yēsū Jīdū a star appeared in the sky, known as the Shèng sī dá. The Mother of Yēsū Jīdū, whos name was Mǎlì Nǚwáng, believed she received a message from God saying the Child she shall birth shall be the Child of God, and he shall form the greatest Empire to ever grace the planet.
Yēsū Jīdū, at a young age, grew to accept his title as the Messiah, and at the age of 15, he set off to begin his conversion of China. Yēsū Jīdū mixed elements of Buddhism into his religion, believing that both Abraham and the Buda where great prophets who only received half the story from God.
Yēsū Jīdū was able to quickly convert the Chinese who he met, and by the time he was 20, over 10% in total of all the Chinese nations where followers of Jīdūjiào. The Chinese kings made Yēsū Jīdū and his followers a wanted man, but this sparked revolution in the Kingdoms, led by Yēsū Jīdū.
Yēsū Jīdū was proclaimed Holy Emperor of Jīdū. The forces of Yēsū Jīdū, who consisted of man and women, where able to fight back most of the Chinese, but the war did not end. The Apostles of Yēsū Jīdū, a group of his closest advisers, went out to convert the rest of China during the wars.
After 10 years of the fighting, over 50% of the Chinese kingdoms followed Yēsū Jīdū's religion, all of them joining him in battle. His forces overpowered the Chinese, and he united all of the Kingdoms under his Empire. Yēsū Jīdū set his sites on Korea and Mongolia next, and they quickly conquered the Heathens, expanding the Empire.
Yēsū Jīdū's great grandson, Wáng Jīdū, took the throne after Yēsū died at the age of 80. Wáng Jīdū began invasions of Japan, and in the year 120, when Wáng Jīdū was 50, all of the Tribes in Japan where forced into the Empire. The Hindus and Jains who found the Conquests of the Jīdū's disgusting, declared a holy war against the Empire. The Buddhists also joined against the Empire, calling them disgusting Heretics.
Wáng Jīdū died in battle during that war, but that was a good thing for the Empire, as his son, and the person who is considered the second greatest Emperor of the Empire, Yēsū Jīdū II, took control of the Empire in 130. He took All of Western India and Bangladesh in 135, and in 140 he took all of Nepal. He then set his sights to finish off southeast asia, which began A series of Wars known as the Shízìjūn dōngzhēng. Yēsū Jīdū II was able to take all of Southeast asia by 160, and in 163, he died in his sleep, he is now known as Yēsū Jīdū II the Holy Emperor and Saint.
After this, The Empire stayed relatively peaceful, with small tribal conflicts being the only things that went on until 673, when followers of the religion Islam, who considered themselves the true religion, attacked the empire. This began the greatest conflicts in the Empires History, known as the wars of God. The Ruler at this time, Huángdì Jīdū, fought the Abbasid Caliphate at famous battles such as the wars for the Gobi. The Abbasids almost won that war, and if they did, they would of most likely marched to Beijing, but they failed. The Empire pushed them far out of the Empire, and from there weakened state, the Byzantines in Europe, who had adopted Judaism, reclaimed the city of Jerusalem.
After that, they Empire hit another Period of Peace up until 1070, when Hordes from Siberia attacked the Empire. This began the War of Hordes, and it took the Empire 30 years to fight them off, and another 30 too conquer Siberia. The Turks began a migration into the Gobi, and so started a revolt, which was led by Sàir Zhùrén. He was able to successfully rebel, and for 100 years his Kingdom and the Empire fought each other in deadlock, but by the end of it, the Zhùrén dynasty fell to the Empire.
This began another Period of Peace in the Empire lasting all the way to Modern Times. Small wars happened here in there in Asia and the Empire in General, hell, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas entered a world war, but the Empire stayed out of them, stating that a Global Conflict could lead to Mòrì (Apocolypse) beginning, which would be the end times for all humans.
German Reich In this Timeline, a lot of things are similar up to World War 2. In the World of Adolf Hitler IV, World War 2 started too late. This is because the originally Hitler in this timeline was A, not anti semitic, so he did not commit Genocide against Jews, and B, he formed an Absolute Monarchy through a Coup, instead of getting elected.
Hitler did the same things he did in our timeline up until the invasion of Poland. The French and English in this timeline thought that oh, ok, he isn't mass murdering anyone, if we don't mess with him, he won't attack us, and boy where they wrong. Hitler, after taking all of Poland, declared war on France. France called in England, and England was able to get Vladimir Lenin to join against Hitler, since in this timeline, Stalin never took control.
Hitler, like in our Timeline, called in Italy and Japan to fight the Allies. Japan does what they are supposed to and invade through Siberia and Italy actually has military capabilities to fight other nations. Russia is forced out of the War in 1941, after the flag of the German Reich is raised above the city. In 1943, the UK is forced to surrender, as they had no allies left.
After the War ended, the cold war still happened, Russia was still a rival to the US. Only this time, the US was able to ally Nazi Germany, leading to what would be known as in this Timeline, the Alliance of Evil.
Russia was attacked by the German Reich in 1963, and the US joined to help the Germans. They did what Japan and Germany did in Ww2, and they sandwiched Russia into being forced to give up, ending the cold war for good.
Since then, the Germans have been advancing there economy, the current leader, Adolf Hitler IV, is a lot nicer then the original Hitler, but that is not saying much.
Mēxihcatl History Though the Point of Divergence in the universe of the Mēxihcatl Empire was in the late 10th century, it would have little impact upon the New World until many centuries later. The Americas would develop much as they had in our universe, including the rise of the Triple Alliance dominated by the Mexica. The first major change in the New World was its discovery by the Old; it was not an Italian explorer hired by the Spanish who landed in the Bahamas, but instead was a young man named Khalid al-Khayri from Malta hired by the Sultan of al-Andalus. For centuries the Pyrenees had been the divider between Christianity and Islam in the West, after the Umayyad Caliphs had subjugated the Christian Kingdoms of the north. But in the east, the Bosporus served this purpose. For the Turks had never managed to take Constantinople and while Anatolia was under the rule of the Turkish Sarukhanid Empire, Byzantium held the straits.
It was because of this that the Sultans of al-Andalus desired to find a route to the Far East, and the riches of the Orient. And it was Khalid al-Khayri who convinced them that he could reach the Far East, by sailing to the West. However, the Sultan was not entirely convinced, and while he funded the expedition westwards al-Khayri was only given a handful of ships to make his journey. And in 1499, he set out on his voyage to find the Orient. Several months later, in early 1500, al-Khayri would set foot on the island that would come to be known as Quba. When he returned to al-Andalus with news of this discovery, word of it spread like a wildfire. Al-Khayri himself would lead 2 more expeditions westwards, and the Christians to the north, not to be outdone by the Muslims, would send their own explorers as well. Powers such as al-Andalus, England, Anjou, and Mauretania would all send their own men out to explore and settle the new continent.
One such colony was the island of Quba, where Khalid al-Khayri first set foot in the New World, which was under the control of the Andalusian governor named Dawud ibn Yasir. It was in 1520 that he organized an expedition lead by his son-in-law Humam al-Qahir, who had already made a name for himself putting down a rebellion by the natives of several Andalusian colonies. However, ibn Yasir limited his expedition to the mainland to trading only, as he wanted the glory of claiming the land for Andalusia as his own. al-Qahir was not particularly pleased with this, and attempted to convince ibn Yasir otherwise, to no avail. But this made ibn Yasir suspicious of al-Qahir, believing that he would disobey his orders and so he cancelled the expedition. But when al-Qahir received word of this, he instead stepped up preparation for the expedition and when he set sail, he set sail as a criminal and mutineer.
Once on the mainland, al-Qahir scuttled the expeditions ships as he had discovered that some of his men were still loyal to the governor and wished to return to Quba. Afterwards, he began his trek through the sweltering mainland, exacting tribute from natives. When he learned of the existence of the Mexica and their Triple Alliance, however, he set his sights on them. He was able to convince many natives to join his men, as they were victims of the Mexica Flower Wars, wherein the Mexica would attack them for captives to sacrifice on a massive scale. Eventually the Andalusians made their way to Tenochtitlan where they were welcomed by Motecuhzoma, the ruler of the Triple alliance.
According to records, Motecuhzoma received Humam al-Qahir in a great ceremony and treated them as honoured guests, even allowing him and his men to stay within the palace of his father Axayacatl. However, relations quickly turned sour when al-Qahir demanded that Motecuhzoma pledge fealty to the Sultan of al-Andalus, tear down their idols, and convert to Islam. This made the Mexica furious, and it resulted in the death of several Andalusian men at the hands of the Mexica. In return, al-Qahir took Motecuhzoma prisoner, using him as a hostage to prevent any further violence against his men while having Motecuhzoma execute those responsible for the killings of his men.
While in captivity, Motecuhzoma still ruled but was subject to al-Qahir's control. This included swearing an oath to the Sultan of al-Andalus as well as being forced to pay a tribute of gold to the Andalusians. It was then that al-Qahir received word that a force of Andalusians had landed under the order of ibn Yasir to take al-Qahir prisoner. So he was forced to take his best men out to meet the much larger Andalusian force, leaving only his least reliable soldiers to keep the peace in Tenochtitlan. Fortunately for al-Qahir, many of the newly landed Andalusians were easily swayed by the promise of gold and glory, and he convinced them to turn against and kill those loyal to the governor. After the short battle, al-Qahir made a rapid march back to Tenochtitlan, only to find it in chaos and disarray.
During al-Qahir's absence the man he had left in charge had butchered a group of Mexica nobles during a religious ceremony, which had lead to uprising from the Mexica inhabiting the city. Attempting to diffuse the situation, al-Qahir had Motecuhzoma order his people to allow the Andalusians to leave peacefully only to discover that the Mexica nobility had chosen Cuitlāhuac as Huetlatoani. This left Motecuhzoma useless to al-Qahir, who had him killed as a result and was then forced to flee from the city. The disastrous route was the turning point in the Invasion, as waves of Mexica warriors attacked the Andalusians and their native allies. Uncountable men died that night, including al-Qahir himself, and without his leadership the Andalusian forces fell apart in the aftermath. They were hunted and harried on their march to the sea, and only a small number survived. And then they were forced to take refuge with the Tlaxcala, one of the native groups that had allied with them. And it was among the Tlaxcala that a great plague would begin; the huey ahuizotl, more commonly known as smallpox.
The smallpox plague began among the Tlaxcala, but it would quickly spread throughout all the local natives, including the Mexica and Tenochtitlan. Over the course of 60 days, nearly half of the population would be killed. Fortunately, Huetlatoani Cuitlāhuac would be spared, but all could not be said of many in power, and not only because of the disease. The priests of the Mexica sacrificed untold numbers of people to their Gods in order to stop the plague. But as it continued unabated, dissatisfaction and anger with the priests among the lower classes rose, eventually culminating in a massive riot that resulted in the slaughter of a great many priests. Cuitlāhuac, seeing the way the winds were blowing, took it upon himself to arrest many of the surviving priests and had most of the highest ranks priests executed for failing in their duties. For it was plain to see that their sacrifices did not appease the Gods, and so Cuitlāhuac had the practice of life human sacrifice and ritualized cannibalism banned, though blood sacrifice was still practiced. Though many opposed this drastic action, especially those among the nobility, the edict coincided with the end of the epidemic and many took this to be a sign that Cuitlāhuac had restored the favour of the Gods.
It was then that the Mexica people met with another group of explorers, this time coming from the north. They were a strange people, dressed differently from al-Qahir's men and speaking a strange language. Though Cuitlāhuac invited them to Tenochtitlan, they did not receive the same welcome as al-Qahir had; they were constantly watched by Mexica warriors and their weapons had been confiscated. Thanks to a translator the explorers had taught their language, French, Cuitlāhuac came to learn that they were from another land across the sea known as Anjou and that they had a common enemy in al-Andalus. Though Anjou was not directly fighting the Andalusians, they were in constant competition in the New World and as an enemy of the Andalusians the Angevins were more than happy to trade with an aid the Mexica.
It was with this expedition that the Mēxihcatl-Angevin alliance was formed, as once news reached the King of Anjou he allowed trading and advising between the Mexica and Angevin colonies in the Caribbean. Because of this, Cuitlāhuac started out on a great project of reformation and conquest. He centralized power, transforming the Triple Alliance from a loose collection of hegemonic states to a centralized Empire ruled from Tenochtitlan. Those tlatoani who remained were replaced with calpixque that were appointed by the Huetlatoani himself. And he set out to conquer the nearby natives, especially those who had joined with the Andalusians, starting with the Tlaxcala.
Though the Mexica had also suffered from the smallpox epidemic, it had begun among the Tlaxcala and they had been hit the hardest. The Mexica warriors, now equipped with early firearms thanks to the Angevins and drilled by Angevin officers invited to the Empire by Cuitlāhuac, the Tlaxcala were quickly invaded and integrated into the Empire. Others such as the Tarascans and Miztecs followed, subsumed by Cuitlāhuac's new state. Thanks to the efforts of Cuitlāhuac and the Angevins themselves, who taught the Mexica of more advanced technology, in only several years the Triple Alliance had been transformed into the Mēxihcatl Empire. But the Mēxihcatl-Angevin alliance was built upon one thing, and that was the mutual enemy of al-Andalus. Anjou was competing for control of the New World, while the Mēxihcah knew that the Andalusians would be coming again.
Special Thanks to @Nerevarine for putting the nations on the map.
Just A question, am I forced to make a character, or in OOC can I just go and post from the Emperors Perspective without you knowing much about him. <Snipped quote by TheSovereignGrave>
Lol, Glad you like it, also, the reason why the Jains declared holy War is because they A. Thought they had the Hindus backing them up, which they did, but it wasn't enough, and B, they where to scared not to do anything against China. That and well, it is a bit different from OTL Jainism, they aren't as peaceful.
It is ok if you don't make a character because you dont want us to know much about him. Also, OOC will be up tomorrow, I got to go to sleep.
