Europe
1800s
- 1814: End of the Augustine Wars. After the End of the War of the fourth coalition (1810-1814) In the Treaty of Vienna (1814) the Kingdom of the Netherlands was formed (with same borders as OTL Congress of Vienna),Turkey retains Crimea (and gains Malta) and gains some land from Austria, France is contained to its natural borders, Brandenburg is punished and their entire territory gets partitioned between the restored duchies of Hanover, Pomerania, and Saxony, An independent Confederation of minor German states is formed as a buffer between France and Austria, Russia forced to return territories gained from Poland. Austria, Russia, and the Ottomans become large powers after the war.
- 1830's: Spring of Nations originating in Spain and spreads throughout central and southern Europe. Eventually spreads to Latin America resulting in the independence of Colombia, Paraguay, Bahia & the Riograndense Republic and failed revolutions in Mexico & Puerto Rico. After the revolution is put down, many revolutionaries are shipped to the Americas and the Spanish empire abolishes slavery.
- 1830's: Partial Partition of Poland; with Russia, Pomerania, Saxony and Austria gaining territory.
- 1840: Beginning of the Great Game between Russia and Britain over influence in Central Asia
- 1850-1853: Spanish victory in the Dutch-Spanish War, led to the independence of South Tussenland and reinforced Spanish suzerainship of the Boer republics.

- 1864-1866: Swedish victory in the Scandinavian Wars which leads to the rise of Sweden as a regional power in the Baltic Sea. Sweden takes part of Sealand from Denmark to control the trade, Swedish-allied Hannover takes southern portion of Denmark and Norway becomes independent.
- 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.

- 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.

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.

- 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. Japan also joins Russia. This led to a war between Russo-Japanese Alliance vs a Korean-Dutch alliance.
- 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.

- 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.

- 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 Sardinia: 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

Peoria
The French founded a fort where present day Peoria is in 1680 but it was destroyed in a native raid and had to be rebuilt in 1683. By the turn of the 17th century Peoria was a small civilian settlement and outpost of French control in the "Upper Country". After Prince Maurice's war and Dutch annexation of the Meerenland in 1755 and the creation of the Dutch Mississippi colony in 1761 the settlement grew in importance as a hub of Dutch colonial administration. In the early and mid 19th century Peoria was overshadowed by other growing cities in Meerenland and it wasn't until the post-war railroad boom in the 1860's and 1870's that Peoria really started to become a major city in North America. Due to it's geographic location and history as an administrative center of the Dutch, Peoria became Tussenland's premier railroad hub. Overtime Peoria grew to become one of Tuseenland's largest cities, Meerenland's largest city and one of the largest cities in North America. During this time Meerenland lost a lot of it's historic Old Country French cultural influence and has become a city that melded Dutch-Amerikaener, French-Meerenlander, native and immigrant influences into its diverse urban fabric.
Detroit
The 2nd largest city in Meerenland and the largest throughly Francophone city in the province. Detroit grew rapidly from it's humble beginnings as a French fur trading fort in 1701.
Saint-Alexis
The 4th largest city in Meerenland, founded in 1730 by French explorers Saint Alexis has historically been a seen as a cultural capital of Meerenland and homeland of the distinct upper-country French dialect. After the 1861 Meerenland rebellion (part of the larger Tussenland responsible government movement) and the creation of the Dutch federation of Tussenland Saint-Alexis was made the capital of Meerenland. After independence in 1910 Saint-Alexis kept as the capital of the province and while missing the large industry-boom that nearby cities of Peoria, Hulhorst, Mazoires and Detroit, the city experienced a population boom in the mid 20th century due to the rise of the University of Meerenland and an increase in the regional tourism industry. Today Saint-Alexis is known for it's thriving university, picturesque waterfront district and seat of the Meerenland provincial government.

Groenveld
Founded in 1762, the settlement of Groenveld consolidated surrounding Dutch-Amerikaens settlements into a more easily defensible and centerized location after the 1762 charter of the Mississippi settler colony. Owing to it's location in the center of Mississippi Groenveld rapidly grow in importance and by the turn of the 19th century it was the premier Dutch settlement west of Daesemus and the heart of the Mississippi colony In the 19th century Groenveld became an important stop in many of the Boer-trails from NNL and Mississippi towards the newly formed Voortrekker republics. After the 1850 Dutch-Spanish War, further investment in the region to protect the heart of the Tussenland colony, migration of Suyderlings from former South Tussenland, creation of the Tussenland railroad system and further expeditions and settlements into western Tussenland cemented the role of Groenveld as a regional administrative hub for Mississippi. By the turn of the 20th century, Groenveld lost it's position as the largest cities in Mississippi to Krusdorp in the west who grew as the "Gateway to Westerzee". in the 20th century after advances in industrialized farming and agriculture central Mississippi become of the great breadbaskets of North America and Groenveld has become an important distribution hub for farmers throughout Mississippi.
