What I hate is fiction that people confuse as history, Zorro, for instance. When that last Zorro movie came out my son was confused. How could the Spanish empire run California during the American Civil war? He wasn't sure which history was correct!
BUT I do love Alternate history! EVERYONE in that genre seems to want to do "What if the Germans won WWII", or "What if the CSA won the American Civil War" Everyone seems to do at least one version!
But I'd like to see other eras explored! What if The Normans had been defeated in 1066 by Alfred? Or if Genghis Kahn just couldn't seem to pull that empire thing off? What if Pedro De Alvarado was unable to conquer the Mayans? What if the Russians HADN'T sold Alaska to the USA?
These are all key points in history that need exploration!
