I like your idea of Almohad and Umayyad swaping places, however the Almohads should succeed the Umayyad in Spain, leaving it with a slice of Algeria and Morocco (this makes the Spanish reconquista the same with OTL, both historically and strategically). I do like your idea with stronger Crusader states, however, France and England shouldn't be in the crusades IMO. As for the Mongols, they shoulf be less powerful, only taking parts of China and Central Asia (later, when the Ming seceede, there should be a waring states period between the Ming and the Song, furthuring East Asian technology and trade) I also think, due to a less powerful England, The Seven Years war in North America should result in a stalemate.

But good work with the story and articles (better than what I could ever do)
