Malta, Venice, Portugal and Spain all attacked Tunis and Algiers in otl 1780s. Add Corsica, Sicily and USA to that, and it's a pretty strong grouping even if one of portugal or spain aren't willing to join.

Plausability entirely aside, I think the Corsicans losing entirely before bouncing back works really well narratively as the darkest before the dawn moment. You remove that and I think it is less interesting.

Free Humanity pretty clearly won the black 20s, tbf.

I was tagged into this so presumably you're aware that I am Gary Oswald. I am glad that you got something out of my thoughts, Jonathan. Ultimately, for all the criticism, I do unambiguously love this story and I do admire it very deeply. Just on a personal level, if I hadn't stumbled upon this...

It's called Peace in Heaven ended when the first Kru were baptised and has now been started over in the writing subforum. I've also just written a short 8,000 word piece of AH over in that writing subforum, The Rise and Fall of Dagger John, High King of Ireland which finished last week. Please...

Marxism emerging 'post history' after the collapse of the combine would be very funny, though.

British Minorca is where greeks and jews often moved otl, they were 500 strong when the island was retaken by the spanish and they were deported. Jews will probably go to corsica instead in ttl but I imagine the greeks will still go to minorca. The british actively encouraged them moving there...

I really like this list, it's useful for reference, interesting and quite refreshing because normally when this thread talks about possible territorial growth for Corsica it's Corsica unifying Italy or getting involved in the scramble for Africa or at least uniting with Sardinia. Whereas your...

Thank you! And also thanks for some great proof reading. Ghana should be there and Botoe should be 'The Footnote'. Will correct both.

And that is that for this thread. Cheers everyone. I would however still like to write a traditional story with an eye for publishing it set in this version of Liberia. I've decided it's going to be about Didwho Welleh Twe and his family. Twe was someone I cast as a guerrilla fighter during the...

West African Referendums: What you need to know! With a date picked for Referendums on the unification of the West African Economic Zone, here's all the background you need to know! What is the West African Economic Zone? The West African Economic Zone (or WAEZ) is a regional union, much like...

Biafra is a great question @Workable Goblin. Something I thought about but never actually came to any conclusions hence the lack of mentions so far. Might be worth an update just on that actually.

The Democratic Republic of Congo applied to join it in OTL two months ago. I think we often forget the extent to which the Eastern Congo is tied in to the politics and economy of East Africa. Kagame has been one of the most important players in Congo politics since the 1990s and Rwanda is very...

Pan-Africanism: An Uncertain Future Political Movements are always the children of their own era's troubles and must adapt to the new ones to survive. Pan-Africanism was a product of the relentless degradation suffered by black Africans in the 19th century due to imperial colonialism at home...
