Have you ever tried to imagine what the world would have been like and how different history would have been?

Question

if blacks had enslaved whites, occupied their lands, and assumed the superiority of the black race over all others? Just wondering what an alternative world history would have been like!

Answer 1

It's a popular genre in Sience Fiction : "Alternate history". But most of them start from one specific historic fact, and see what could happen if the result had been different. For example, what would have happened if the Franks didn't beat the Muslims in the Battle of Tours in 732 ? How would WWII have turned out if the carriers had been in Pearl Harbor?

"Alternate history stories are based on the premise that historical events might have turned out differently. These stories may use time travel to change the past, or may simply set a story in a universe with a different history from our own. Classics in the genre include Bring the Jubilee by Ward Moore, in which the South wins the American Civil War and The Man in a High Castle, by Philip K. Dick, in which German and Japan win World War II. The Sidewise Award acknowledges the best works in this subgenre; the name is taken from Murray Leinster's story "Sidewise in Time"."

"Sience Fiction : Subgenres" : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_fiction#Subgenres

"Alternate history or alternative history is a subgenre of speculative fiction (or some would say of science fiction) that is set in a world in which history has diverged from history as it is generally known. Alternate history literature asks the question, "What if history had developed differently?" Most works in this genre are based in real historical events, yet feature social, geopolitical, or industrial circumstances that developed differently than our own. While to some extent all fiction can be described as "alternate history," the subgenre proper comprises fiction in which a change or point of divergence occurs in the past that causes human society to develop in a way that is distinct from our own."

"The earliest example of alternate history appears to be Book IX, sections 17–19, of Livy's History of Rome from Its Foundation. Livy contemplates the possibility of Alexander the Great expanding his father's empire westward instead of eastward and attacking Rome in the 4th century BC. His main question is: "What would have been the results for Rome if she had been engaged in war with Alexander?" "

"In the English language, the first known complete alternate history is Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story "P.'s Correspondence", published in 1845. It recounts the tale of a man who is considered "a madman" due to his perceiving a different 1845, a reality in which long-dead famous people are still alive such as the poets Burns, Byron, Shelley, and Keats, the actor Edmund Kean, the British politician George Canning and even Napoleon Bonaparte."

"The first novel-length alternate history in English would seem to be Castello Holford's Aristopia (1895). While not as nationalistic as Napoléon et la conquête du monde, 1812–1823, Aristopia is another attempt to portray a utopian society. In Aristopia, the earliest settlers in Virginia discover a reef made of solid gold and are able to build a Utopian society in North America."

"In 1962, Philip K. Dick published The Man in the High Castle, an alternate history in which Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan won World War II. This book, widely regarded as Dick's masterpiece, has enhanced the prestige of alternate history in mainstream literary circles, although Dick was not yet recognized beyond SF circles when it was first published. Dick's book also contained an example of "alternate-alternate" history, in that one of its characters is the author of a book in which the Allies won the war."

"The Plot Against America (2004) by Philip Roth looks at an America where Franklin D. Roosevelt is defeated in 1940 in his bid for a third term as President of the United States, and Charles Lindbergh is elected, leading to increasing fascism and anti-Semitism in the U.S."

Answer 2

It probably would have worked out similarly... people would wake up to the fact that enslavement is wrong, there would have been fighting to end the institution, they would have eventually been freed, and then it would have taken another 150+ years to make sure that the laws in place to protect equality were actually practiced.

Answer 3

Black people had slaves in Africa and sold them to the slave merchants from the Americas, so there would not have been slavery if the black tribes in Africa had not raped, murdered and enslaved each other. It would probably be a pretty horrific world if black people had continued enslaving each other and selling each other to other people.

Answer 4

surfing the solutions, i observed this one: "steel loses this is temper whilst it truly is under consistent warmth like burning jet gas." i'm thinking what takes place whilst it loses its temper. Does it get warm under the collar? yet heavily, one undertaking to contemplate is that the assaults have been intently planned by way of knowledgeable Al Queda people who understood the engineering of the homes. They knew above a definite temperature the homes might weigh down themselves downwards. on the floor with the main warmth from the fireplace, the welds in the vertical beams come loose, and that floor collapses. the entire suited of the development falls down one floor whilst a center floor collapses. this is a extensive quantity of heavy steel falling 10 ft. have you ever considered a bite of steel fall 10 ft? It hits so confusing it may do extreme injury. the suited 0.5 of the development became one in all those heavy piece of steel, whilst it hit the floor decrease than, it broke it loose from its welds, and the entire development saved falling like that, one floor at a time. A speedy cascading crumple. form of like dominoes, yet rapidly downward. you go with no longer worry that one in all those undertaking could desire to be led to by way of an hardship-free fireplace. this hearth became far warmer than any hardship-free fireplace ever gets. an entire jumbo airliner with sufficient gas to fly 1000's of miles. That gas burns fairly warm. one in all those undertaking would not be feasible in an hardship-free fireplace. There may be no place that plenty gas could desire to come from. hardship-free fires are led to by way of timber burning, and so on., that's a breeze whilst in comparison with that plenty jet gas burning.
