#1 I've always wondered what would have happened if:

The First Crusade attaced North Africa and set up a number of crusader kingdoms outside the heart of muslim territory where they had a chance to stay without reinforcements

The English and French avoided the 100 years war and instead helped the Spanish remove the Muslims.

The west avoided the 30 years war and instead took all that Spanish gold and continued the reconquesta across North Africa.

Islam should have been wiped out early on but the West barely paid attention most of the time. Now we've advanced beyond the wipe out stage and basically have to live withthe constant annoyance.
