What if the Byzantine Empire survived the expansion of Islam and made it to at least 1914 ?

It collapses to nationalism and nothing changes at all.
>Byzaboos still exist
>>3262535
It could but I think theres a different WWII with the Byzantines and Russians allying against the British,French,Spanish,and whatever Germany is in that timeline.
>>3262534
Islam wasn't the only reason Byzantine Empire has collapsed. It wouldn't last to XX century no matter what.
>>3262544
who even can know? so many things would be different. given the map you posted, russia and the byzantines are geopolitical competitors, its unlikely religion would mean much comparatively in 1914
Fuck off Byzaboo scum

>What if Byzantines in World War 1
What Archduke would be killed to trigger it by what kind of nationalist.
I'm glad the amount of threads like this keeps low.

Russia wouldn't be Russia in the first place, as the title of Tzar Muscovite claimed was after the fall of Constantinopolis.
If Islam fails to even take over Egypt and North Africa, the factors required to reach it would most likely make them unable to conquer Persia, and Islam would most likely be contained in Arabian Peninsula.
Survival, and judging by your map, expansion, of Eastern Roman Empire would change history so much that whatever the political division in 1914 would be, it would be nothing like the map you posted.

Byzantium with those borders for a whole millennium would change history so utterly there's no point discussing it. It would make for a ridiculously rich and powerful country tho, probably pretty culturally unified too after all that time.

until the rest of europe gets tired of paying the Greeks to be the middle man. build sailing ships and discover the new world, then the trade routes to asia. then the decline that happened to the Ottomans happens to the Byzantines. They're economic staple of being merchants for exotic trade goods is gone
Having no Mudslimes is nice

What if the dinosaurs came back after WW2? NOBODY FUCKING KNOWS AND NOBODY WILL EVER FUCKING KNOW
A quingarinbillion variables, that's what happens.

>history is simple bro :D

With the kind of miracle that it would take for Byzantium to last that long, it's just as likely to be some kind of global superpower by 1914. Perhaps the prevelance of gunpowder and by extension cannons is delayed for some reason, so the Byzantines still have their age-old strategy of hiding behind the Walls of Theodosius to rely on, but by then you've already altered the course of European history into something completely alien.
>tfw you live in a timeline where Nazis were never defeated at the gates of Constantinople

well it's after WW2 now so it's not too late

You think non roman identities will exist if it lasted to 1914?
