Three assassination hypotheticals for you

[Sergeant Foley]

Interesting although given the info in the last link I would assume that you would need to factor in the spread of the empire as it ruled different areas at different times. Noticing that the high level of Afghans and then drop could be because they were prominent in the previous ruling class, then many fled to Bengal, which was larger outside Mughal control and later that region was brought into the empire. That could play a major role in the behaviour of the Afghan figures in the early part of the graph. Similarly a lot of the rise in Indian aristocrats could be do to the expansion of the empire into areas where the majority was Hindu and either you had Hindus becoming aristocrats or Muslims being established as rulers and at least in later generations seeing themselves as Indian Muslims. However definitely interesting to see how the identity of the ruling class change over the period of the empire.

I read the short article containing the graph that you linked to. However only a brief look at the longer one it links to.

Wonder what hypothetical ramifications would've impacted the world IF then-Chilean President Augusto Pinochet had been killed in that 1986 assassination attempt?

Well, who would have succeeded him?

Probably another wave of bloody repression and murders. Even if its not a clearly political killing it will probably be represented as such to unify his supporters and seek sympathy. Possibly depending on the circumstances a powerful struggle to replace him but how open that would be I don't know.

He better bring back Polska kielbasa along with instructions on how to make it lol! Then the whole world can enjoy the glories of Polish food centuries earlier in comparison to real life lol!

Why not kill Dzyngis Khan using kielbasa made according to EU norm?

What are EU norms for making Polish kielbasas?

Dunno,but before we joined,it tasted great,now ,what you could buy in average shop is lore or less shitty.

"more or less shitty" (typo--no?)

Anyway, I wonder what caused this. Did many Polish food manufacturers go out of business as a result of Poland joining the EU?

Also pushed back the 1989 Presidential election

Here's one of my own assassination hypotheticals that I wanted to bring up:

1) You could either prevent the assassination of Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich of Russia, or have his assassination carried out a lot earlier by having Ivan Kalyayev not notice the children that accompanied the Grand Duchess Elizabeth inside the carriage, also leading to their deaths as well. Would a bloodier assassination of both Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich, his wife, and his adopted children Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna and Grand Duke Dmitry Pavlovich result in a bigger crackdown on revolutionary activity, or would an overreaction result in civil war?

2) Preventing the Lisbon Regicide by stopping the assassination of King Carlos I of Portugal and the heir apparent at that time, Dom Luis Felipe. I wonder if this would result in a continued survival of the Portuguese monarchy if Carlos I of Portugal had survived, or if the assassination attempt failed, would it result in a civil war breaking out between monarchists and Portuguese republicans?

Portugal used to have a monarchy? 😕

Yes, until 1910.

Or were taken by germans.And,all they produce now is shitty food.
When we have polish norm,you get 1kg of ham from 1kg of meat.
