Europe

1800s

  • 1872-1874: Anglo-Pomeranian victory in the Saxony-Pomeranian War. Saxony, who is landlocked through history, wants Pomeranian coast. They are backed by Sweden, who believe that having more German naval powers meant that no single German power would dominate the Baltic. Sweden-Saxony has great success in the war initially, but in a turn of surprise Britain, who is scared of the growing Swedish naval power, assists Pomerania. Pomerania-British alliance wins, and Pomerania takes a little land from Saxony.
  • 1872-1878: Communard revolution in France ignites, and spreads to Spain. Spain is ruled by communards and results in the independence of the Mexican Empire and Peru. A separate Belgique communard revolution occurs and leads to unification with France (in 1874). The Communard attempts to spread to central Europe and the Italian states but is stopped by an alliance of European powers led by Austria and Britain. Eventually the radical Communard faction is kicked out of power by a moderate Communard faction that sought peaceful coexistence with the British and other European powers. This leads to a mending of relations between the British and France.
  • 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.

In the peace treaty Venice gains all Austrian Territories in continental Italy and adds Sicily, the Roman Republic and Pontecorvo in its sphere of Influence.
  • 1922-1928: European economic crisis. Partially a result of a series of crop failures leading to cascading effects on European stock markets.
  • 1925-1928: Nationalist-Republican victory in the Russian Revolution and Russian Civil War. Famines and mass unemployment led to the Czar being deposed in 1925 and the formation of the 1st Russian Republic. In 1926 ideological differences led to a spilt in republican forces in 1926 and the start of a 2 year civil war between the Liberal and Nationalist Republican factions.
  • 1932: Start of the Russo-Korean War. Korea, seeing that Russian government is fresh and fragile, invades the Qing remnant. Korea hoped that the instability in Russia would lead them to take no action against this; unexpected to them the new government of Russia honors the treaty and declares war on Korea.

  • 1933: With a distracted Russia, Austria invades and annexes Kingdom of Saxony. Britain does nothing. Russia also does nothing, obviously as they were busy in the east. In the same year, With a distracted Russia again, the Ottomans decide to declare war on Russia hoping to take more land.
  • 1934: Dutch drop out of the Russo-Korean War. The Russians were winning great successes in Korea. However, the European front doesn't look to good.

East Asia

  • Qing breaks up in 1850 after a rebellion in the south (Kingdom of Canton) is supported by France and Britain. Qing was supported by the Dutch but they lost.
  • 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.

South East Asia (Malay Peninsula)

19th Century

  • 1820: The Sultanate of Johor allies with the Dutch East India Company and soon becomes a protectorate.
  • 1849: Burmese-Lannathai War. Burma invades and annexes the Lannathai Kingdom, and becomes part of the Burmese Empire.
  • 1853: Fearing the expansion of Burma, Ramathibodi IV of Ayutthaya signs the Treaty of Alliance and Trade with Great Britain. In exchange, Great Britain is granted a 99-year lease on the Ayutthayan port of Petbury (Phetchaburi, to be returned in 1952).
  • 1854: Anglo-Burmese War and collapse of the Burmese Empire: Cross-border raids by the Burmese in the British territory of Aracan vexed Britain. Britain used this as a pretext for the war, and invaded Burma. After the war, the entirety of Burma was annexed by Britain. Burma was split up into three new provinces under the British Raj: Burmah, Pegu, and Lan Na. This is would be furthest extent of British control on the Malay Peninsula in the 19th century.
  • 1860: Fearing British expansion, the Vietnamese kingdoms seek protection from the Spanish. Tonquin and Annam become protectorates of Spain. (though when is not yet established)
  • 1863: Nguyễn Phúc Mạnh, ruler of Tonquin converts to Catholicism, and was baptized as Don Carlos. During the reign of Phúc Mạnh, the Spanish built churches and conducted missionary activity, leading to the sizeable Catholic minority in the northern parts of Vietnam in the modern day.
  • 1869: France invades and protectorizes the Kingdom of Kampuchea (Cambodge).
  • 1873: British-Acehnese War. In the midst of the Communard forces rising to power in France, Britain invades and secures Aceh to prevent it from falling to French Influence.

Central and South Asia

  • Because Britain has less properties elsewhere, they are deeply cemented into India/South Asia.
  • A "Great Game" arc between Russia and Britain occurs after the fall of the Qing. Britain push northward and take Tibet as a protectorate, while Russia could puppet Mongolia.
  • In 1890, and agreement is reached to create an independent buffer nation called 'Serindia' in between Russia and Britain. It is mostly of Uyghur culture.

Oceania and the Pacific Isles

  • Spanish colony of Nueva Guinea: The name was coined by the Spanish explorer Yñigo Ortiz de Retez in 1545 during a stop in which he claimed the island for Spain. During the Augustine wars the Spanish empire avoided the wars that wrecked Europe and wanted to expand their colonially holdings in Asia. In 1811 they seized west Papua from the VOC aligned Sultanate of Tidore during the occupation of the Netherlands by French forces. Between 1811 and 1860 they slowly expanded their holdings on the North side of the island of New Guinea. The Spanish didn't really attempt to establish control on the interior of the island but instead used a series of coastal forts and ports to trade luxury goods with friendly natives tribes. Additionally starting in the 1830's the Jesuit Order was given a mandate to the Christianize the island's inhabitants by the Spanish crown; the Jesuits built a number of missions, churches and catholic schools in the interior of the island. The in the late 1880's after the Communard wars and fearing British encroachment on their colony the Spanish started to intensify colonization and control of the island and build settlements on the southern coast of the island.
  • Las Islas del Espíritu Santo (OTL Vanuatu): Discovered and claimed by the Spainish in OTL, came back in the 19th century during their 'turn towards Asia'. Spanish set up cash crop plantations and brought in laborers from their other Asian colonies.
  • New Corsica: Similar history to OTL, French come by pre communard wars for sandlewood and other trade but ittl no penal colony on the island which means the Kanak people are the dominate population.
  • Fiji Protectorate (French): Pre Communard wars French stopped by and traded and eventually allied with the natives and entered into a protectorate relationship. A lot of trade between French Australia and Fiji, early on French sailors and settlers visited often to obtain wives

South Pacific

  • British: in the late 18th century Hicks along with other British explorers/ sailors and whalers visit the south pacific, name some islands and make contact. Much like in OTL the British empire starts to see Tahiti as "a sailors paradise" and starts building good relationships with natives in Tahiti and in Bora-bora (at this point no real colonialism happens yet just a relatively equal (sometimes) trade relationship and the British putting their thumbs on the scale when it comes to island conflicts sometimes). Later when colonization of Western Oceania kicks off the British (along with the French of course) shift their regional focus to the western pacific (which might allow the Genoans time to start building relationships / annexing islands in the region) . In the late 1800's after Genoa, Spain and maybe some other minor powers start sizing up the south pacific, this leads to the British returning attention to the South Pacific and start annexing islands where they can and creating protectorates out of friendly kingdoms. During this time British private enterprise would be investing in the islands and starting copra plantions, phosphorus mines, sandlewood operations, sea cucumbers harvesting etc.
  • Genoa: Basically what I said earlier, Genoa uses their base in Panama city to expand into the Pacific starting with buying islands from Colombia and Spain (Galapagos y Rapa Nui) , finding uninhabited islands (in the case of Pitcairns) and then,slipping under the nose of the British, getting Tonga to become a protectorate of theirs while other powers were busy elsewhere.
  • the Netherlands: So we talked a bit about the idea of a Dutch Norfolk but I think I came up with some lore (also maybe re-purposing BigSchwartz Mijnclara name) for the island. Basically the French colonize the islands (which would be uninhabited at the time) first while they set up their first colony in Australia but abandon the island soon after and focus on Australia and then New Zealand. Then shortly after Dutch sailors (some from NL proper, others from east indies and Taulandt) start using the island as a whaling base and in late 1850s after the loss in the Spanish-Dutch war decide to annex the island (as kinda of a PR move to show "hey things aren't that bad", maybe also it's a personal project of the Crown to regain some popularity amongst the people).

Cold War Timeline

  • 1938-1940: End of the Great War, the breaking up of Austrian and Ottoman empires and the the dividing up of Europe into various spheres of influence.
  • 1941-1945: Cuban civil war. After joint Mexican-NNL support for Anti British Cuban rebels, the British are kicked out of Cuba. This cooperation leads to the formation of the ANAN in 1951.
  • 1945-1946: Overthrow of the Sultanate of Turkey and the establishment of the Islamic Republic of Turkey
  • 1951-1956: Japanese Civil War. After the end of the great war, Anti-Russian Japanese leader rally start a rebellion against the Japanese state. Their qualms are that Japanese interests were subsumed by Russian ones, they want the return of Japanese land and they didn't get as much land as promised from the Russo-Corean war. After two years of intense fighting between Russian and Japanese forces, and then the other three years of insurgency fighting in the mountains Japan is split between East and West Japan with one side being British backed the other side being Russian backed.
  • 1961-1975: Indonesia War. A major war of decolonization occurs in Indonesia as Dutch rule over the islands start to wane. Leads to a Dutch exodus of the region (but they keep Dutch Australia as a place for Dutch and Indos living in the former colony to move to). In 1975 the Dutch officially pull out and recognize Indonesian independence, leading to the Dutch realigning themselves to the nonaligned block).
  • 1979: Collapse of the Russian Nationalist Regime amidst large scale civilian rebellions.
  • 1980: The end of the cold war leading to the creation of the new Russian State, as well as the start of the British recession.
