Chapter 41: The Infinite Empire Beneath all heaven There is no land that is not the king’s; Throughout the borders of the earth, None who are not his subjects -The Book of Odes, Classical Chinese Poetry Beginning with Mahomet, the history of the Shawnee Empire starts to become, well, more...

No update this week. I did update the Vocabulary list here so that all non-English words or ATL phrases up to Chapter 40 are included. The schedule for the next section looks something like this: Chapter 41: The Infinite Empire (expansion of the Shawnee Empire into the Ohiyo Valley) 5/11/24...

Thanks! Maybe. This is definitely a Read and Find Out (RAFO) question.

They've been around for a while but they are definitely increasing right now. They probably won't disappear entirely but they are going to be greatly reduced in number.

Chapter 40: The Land of Bede and Wool The Rosary River [Snake River] is so named because of a misconception. Some of the inhabitants of the valley, the Newe [Shoshone] people called the river the Yampapaa, after the yampa plant. The French assumed the plant they were speaking of was bede [Apios...

ok. I guess. Sure There is a difference between taming an individual animal and domesticating a group of animals. Taming is just individual animals getting used to human contact and maybe even being trained. Domestication is breeding animals so that they are always friendly to humans and...

Um... Thanks, I guess? Scientists have attempted to domesticate moose. It hasn't worked. I don't know if they can act like small cows or oxen, but they will be used for labor eventually. Dogs have long been used in warfare. I don't think goats will be. Wapiti will definitely be.

Yet. We don't have wheels yet.

That is definitely a "Read and Find Out" question. But I will say that every word of the phrase "National Military Academy of England" was carefully chosen. Riding on the back of an elk, especially at any kind of speed, is quite difficult. They don't have a strong enough back to keep a person...

I think, in general, your best bet for this is for America to be a lot more intervention happy during the Cold War or an ATL Cold War. It could invade lots of countries in Africa, Latin America, or Asia as part of "containing communism".

Its the Wapiti Elk, not the red deer. And its a lot more difficult, as you might expect. Although most supplies are going to be transported over water, not overland.

Supplemental: The Book of War Success in war cannot be bought, borrowed or stolen. Its only price is blood. – The Book of War Mahomet’s most famous act was to author the mazina'igan nandobani, often translated as “the Book of War”. At least, he is the one traditionally credited with writing...

Incompetent can kill just as many people as evil.

Or someone other than Lumumba or Mobutu comes to power who is anti-communist and anti-imperialist. Those aren't necessarily contradictory stances. They would promote some kind of French-style nationalism (so Zaire rather than Congo and Kinshasa rather than Leopoldville). And actually use...

Thanks! Its like waves at a beach going up with the tide. In and out but always higher than before.
