History Was Different from This Point On: Western Chapter 1: Classical to Medieval Period [Chinese]

By: Guan, Jia Qi

The Birth of the Roman Empire: What if Octavian had not won the civil war? The Republic existed in name only, factions rose to power, and Rome endured years of turmoil. After defeating his rivals, Octavian centralized authority, establishing a mighty empire that would endure for millennia. Nero's Persecution of Christians: What if the Great Fire of Rome had never occurred? Amid widespread blame following the Great Fire, Nero exploited the chaos to scapegoat Christians. Yet under brutal persecution, Christianity paradoxically flourished into a formidable religious force. The Crusades: What if the Pope and Henry IV hadn't broken ties? Driven by the quest to reclaim the Holy Land and assert his supreme authority, the Pope passionately rallied believers for a holy expedition, inadvertently launching two centuries of East-West cultural exchange. The Hundred Years' War: What if England and France had avoided royal succession disputes? Their rivalry over thrones and economic conflicts escalated into an unforeseen century-long conflict. This war shook the foundations of medieval feudalism and accelerated the formation of modern nation-states in Europe.
