So every once in a while we discuss about what would happen if the main indigenous nations of America managed to fend off the European settlers and conquerors, from the least (Aztecs) to the most (Incas/Tahuantinsuyus) plausible. 1.Something that I keep wondering, more specifically in...

If the Cortes and Pizarro expeditions failed, and the Aztec and Incan Empire somehow survives, a new Mayan Confederacy Forms, and no European power try to conquer them, and they survive the plagues, what would their roles be in the world? Would they try to learn from the Europeans? Would they...

Okay, so I'm working on a RPG setting for a FATE/GURPS/SEWASFR (Something Else With A Similarly Flexible Ruleset) Campaign, and I need to know how to make it realistic enough to be semi-beleiveable. The timeline will have several different PODs from all over the world instead of a single one...

Inspired by the thread on Meiji Inca and the Europeans butterflies proceeding from it. https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/can-the-incas-pull-a-meiji.448982/ If we go from the postulate that Cortes and Pisarro are not as lucky as they were in OTL and stretch it a bit further so that...

The Inca Empire was the largest in the New World (in fact, I think it was half the size of the Roman Empire at its greatest extent) so assuming that Europe never arrives in the Americas for a few centuries or so for whatever reason (that's not important, it isn't the focus of this scenario)...

So as known, the Spanish conquest of the Inca empire, was a swift one for the Conquistadors. The Plague, along with the Incan civil war allowed the Spanish to come quickly, and destroy the empire on the rise. However, due to the high altitude of the Andes, some of the Incas fell back, and...

So since my name is Incanian, I thought it would be good to do a thread on my second favorite empire. Now the Inca empire timelines are always the same. So I decided to do a different timeline. What if the Inca empire was a colonial one? Spreading across the Pacific ocean. Let's say the Nazcas...

I am butterflying Columbus and the colonization of Americas and delaying the contact with the Aztecs and Incas, there might be some discovery but it would be the discovery of the OTL Quebec, Brazil and Newfoundland and it would take to late 16th to early 17th century for them to be discovered...

What would allow for a stronger Inca state that could resist Spanish conquest at least for a while? I'm thinking one starting point would be to prevent the succession war between Atahualpa and Huáscar.

Aztec and Inca empires were very rich in precious metals. Have they survived European contact, could they have adopted a mercantilistic economy to become two of the most powerful states in the world, if not the most? Thank you.

Hello and thank you for accepting me into this site. Could Spain have held off Ottoman advance in the Mediterranean, had they not have conquered Mexico and Peru? Thank you.

I could have this all wrong, and possibly I do, since wikipedia isn't much help and what I know of pre-European American history is iffy at best, so I'm hoping that you learned scholars can help. I've just finished reading Clive Cussler's book, Inca Gold. In this book, which, for a work of...
