Description

In the 13th century, the Mongol hordes swept across Europe. The fractured Rus states could not stop them. The Kingdoms of Poland, Lithuania and Hungary did not stop them. The full might of the Holy Roman Empire faltered against the horse archers. Soon, all of Europe was forced to pay tribute to the great Khan. Obviously, many people were upset by these developments, but there seemed to be no hope to overthrow these new masters. England, the last remaining European country not subject to the Mongol yoke, was by no means able to mount any effective assault. Everything seemed gone for Europe, until finally word came of new uncharted lands in the West, brought back by Scandinavian sailors. A mass exodus to this „;promised land“ began, and in 1355, Spanish ships landed in what is in OTL known as Florida. In a hundred years, most of the European countries were re-established on the other side of the world, together with several native states. The English, however, mostly stayed on their island, and whatever few people settled in the New World swore allegiance to the throne in London. In the late 15th century, a second wave of colonization began with ships of the Cordovan Emir and the Parishan Khan landing in the New World. The scramble of its southern portion had begun.
