Re: Alternate history scenarios: What if?

Martin Luther was a friar(or monk, can't remember which). He didn't like the way the christian church was going, so he wrote up his complaints as 95 theses and nailed them to the neighborhood church door. The church didn't like it, and after muchdebate and arguing, plus many years, Martin Luther was excommunicated. He was the start of the Protestant Reformation. Lutherans are nemed after his ideas on what was wrong with the church(witch was only catholic in tose days).

I believe that if George Washington had died crossing te Deleware, the American would have lost heart, a good comander, and more than likely the war. There probably would have been another bid for independence, but it would come much later.

Most of the questions I posed are from what I just learned in my Western Civilization 1 class in college. It deals with history up to Christopher Colombus getting to the New World.

This might be a little juvenile,but the is an young adult book that deals with the subject of "if this did or didn't happen". Animorphs: Megamorphs #3 by K.A. Applegate. Shows what a world would be like if certain things did or didn't happen. You might want to read up on the series before you read this book, though.
