  1. This timeline would actually be pretty okay. Aside from Russia being humiliated twice, probably leading to a fascist uprising, the balance of power would mostly lead to the independence of formerly subjugated states being on the to-do lists of the great powers indefinitely.

  2. This timeline was probably one where the Napoleonic Wars lasted several decades longer, causing the nation-state promoters to gain even more presence in the war-weary parliaments and courts of Europe.

  3. At that point, Algeria wasn't a French colony, but instead a full district of France. Meaning that the French could lose all European territory but still be around if they kept Algeria. So it makes sense that they would fight as hard as they did.

  4. Considering the circumstances, I consider the Ottoman conquest to not be a conquest but instead a glorified coup, because otherwise the Empire post Justinian II would have to be seen as no longer Rome (J II was similarly emperor by conquest and blood relation)

  5. Or just organize a personal union, making England and Anglia finally be under the same rule

  6. ​ @bruhbruh-us6gl wouldn't the title have been nullified with the declaration of the republic?

  7. ​ @Mess909 technically the British Raj did federalize. India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh are, afaik, Commonwealth nations.

  8. The dominoes would probably fall in a way that results in a better relationship between China and India, eventually resulting in a nigh-unstoppable Asian bloc.

  9. In the event of a low-intervention withdrawal of British troops from the subcontinent, the former puppet states would probably continue ruling the area under the same system as before, maybe incorporating more provinces into it as a sort of commonwealth. Democracy would be out of the question aside from a few regional republics, but at least there would be some shared identity among member states.

  10. ​@Trollge398 Christians won't even agree about the core tenets with each other. They also don't agree with people not agreeing.

  11. It would probably lead to the Ottomans themselves taking the role of Atatürk and fleeing to Ankara.

  12. Without a Turkish resurgence, wouldn't the Sykes and Picot plan have fully succeeded, leading to an independent Kurdistan and Armenia?

  13. Without the Entente's leverage, why would the Ottoman Empire ever lose its territories in Syria and Mesopotamia? They'd probably also get sucked into the revolution, creating a larger Turkey.

  14. ​@andrewlynch4126 that's mainly due to an unspoken political rule that the USSR was a successor to the Russian Empire.
