Line 100:
* 1870s-1880s: Russia strengthens its colonial efforts on the Pacific, leading to a more settled Pacific, and Alaska. There is also a short arc of a Dutch king in Russia, which could help them have a more extensive naval outlook on the pacific.
* 1877: Russia becomes suzerain of the Kingdom of Hawaii
* 1884-1885: Russian victory in the Russo-Ottoman War (also known as the Balkan Wars). During the late 19th century Russia slowly strengthen it's economic and military power and after a series of revolts in the Balkans were put down harshly by Ottoman forces, Russia pledged support for independence movements in Serbia and Romania. This led to Russia retaking Crimea, Wallachia, Moldavia, Serbia gaining independence. Austria, who joined the war late, also annexes the upper left tip of the ottoman territory (but were promised more but didn't receive it from Russia).
*'''1885: Anglo-Turkish War:''' To connect their possessions in Arabia, Britain attacks the Ottomans in the midst of the Russo-Ottoman War and takes Egypt.
* 1890: Start of the Ottoman reform period (whereas the Ottoman Empire modernized it's political, economic and military systems).
* 1893: End of the Great Game between Russia and Britain in Central Asia, with the creation of Serindia, a buffer state between Russia and the British Raj.

* There is a strong Russian influence in Japan since the 1600s-1700s and could be an extension of the "Pacific Vision" of Russia..
* Korea and Russia get involved in a war in 1930. The aftermath of this war is still undecided.

*'''1818:''' Due to threats from the Ottomans and Persia, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bani_Khalid_Emirate Emirate of Al-Hasa] accepted protectorateship status from Great Britain.
*'''1822''': Other smaller emirates southeast of Al-Hasa were protectoratized (known as the Trucial States [region known as the Trucial Coast]).
*'''1834''': Britain obtains a 99-year lease on Aden from the Sultanate of Lahej. Lahej was propped up by the British and consolidated power over the smaller Yemeni states west.
*'''1837''': A Zaidi rebellion in the Yemeni Eyalet led by the Qasimi branch erupted, to "liberate Yemen from the Ottoman occupiers). The British clandestinely supported the rebellion. The rebellion was successful, and the new state aligned itself with Great Britain.
*'''1839:''' Emirate of Yemen becomes a protectorate of the British.
*'''1881-1882: British-Omani War''': Britain demands the Omani state to curb the slavery in Zanzibar/Tanganyika, and gives an ultimatum (with unreasonable terms). Afro-Arab slave traders still remain at large in Tanganyuka/Zanzibar. With the Omani sultan failing to comply, the British and French (now allied since this is post-Communard Wars) use this as a pretext to invade. The Omani state had already prepared for the inevitable war, but was ultimately defeated by the British-French coalition. The Sultanate of Oman is dismantled and replaced with a colonial government. Tanganyika is then divided into two, north (around Mombasa) goes to France and is integrated into the French East Africa (a parallel to the OTL French West Africa). South (around Dar es salaam) goes to Britain, and is established as a separate colony called British East Africa.
*'''1882:''' The Sultan of Oman and the Royal Family flees to the Ottoman Empire, and continue their anti-British propaganda there.
*'''1885:''' In parallel to the Russo-Ottoman War (1884-1885), the British also attack the Ottoman Empire to take Egypt, to serve as a waypoint to their South arabian protectorates and possessions.
