    Alternate History The Medes and the Persians invent the Flintlock Musket

    Alexander was not idiot,but glory hound.Which mean,that he would keep charging at enemy muskets,and die as a result. We would have Roman-Parthian wars earlier as a result,without greek kingdoms rise and fall. But,you are right,old persian empire would fall. Thanks for info.I once read,that...

    You are right - but not from Alexander.He was reckless,and keep on attacking with his elite unit,almost getting killed few times. This time,he would meet some persian bullet with his name on it.

    1- agree. 2- no,he would do nothing,becouse Persian Empire with muskets would take down both Greece and Macedonia 3.-true,he could only get light calvary and german infrantry,it never win against muskets.If Goths get muskets,then there would be no Attilla at all - they would slaughter his...

    To be honest,first who use planes to bomb enemy were italians in Libya/1911/. And,as a result,was one of two countries/Italy and Russia/ who had real bombers in 1914. It not helped them in any significiant way,but they were first.

    Well,as @bintananth said,they started as mounted archers.Maybe that is why they do not keep ranged weapons in disdain. Here,with muskets from the start,i see some kind of tribal democracy replacing Rome - with every german or slavic warrior with its musket. Europe made from many small...

    So,you aborted feudalism,Attilla and mongols.Which create entire new Europe,with changed History. I think,that Europe would still dominate world - but,without knight ethos,it would be different Europe.

    @Sailor.X ,i forget one important thing - flintlock muskets stopped any calvary army,so it mean no future steppe Empires,like Huns or mongols,even if Rome fall like in OTL. And no knights in Europe after that.Which mean,no feudalism,too. Europe as city-states?

    Well,romans were pefrectly capable of doing that without muskets.They made desert and called it peace - and were proud of that.

    Alternate History The Medes and the Persians invent the Flintlock Musket

    Agree.They would take Greece,and that is all.In OTL they have alliance with Carthage and Etrusk against greeks,they try to take Sicily in OTL/Carthage/ Now,they would succed. When Rome start unification of Italian penisula,they would face persian allies of Etrusk. By that time,both sides would...
