colonies

I am currently writing an Alt History scenario. I wanted to know how long the German Pacific could last realistically, specifically past 1915. What changes would have to be made to OTL to cause this for this to realistically occur?

How would you picture alternate colonial empires in the Americas, from the 16th and 17th centuries onward? Either Italian, German, etc. Cristopher Columbus, for example, asked for financing from Genoa and Venice for his trip before going to Castile. Klein-Venedig (Welserland) was a German...

Is there a possibility that once the colonial rule over Africa is consolidated, the European powers decide to develop some colonies or at least that there is much more investment for the development of the colonies than in OTL? If this is possible, how does it affect the native population and...

Going into context, with a German victory at Verdun that in the long term breaks allied morale after a series of German offensives, what colonies can Germany demand from France (from the United Kingdom the only thing it could hope for is to recover its occupied colonies) I certainly see...

Was it possible for any other colonial power (England, France, etc.) to take the whole or at least parts of, Viceroyality of New Spain (or any other colonies) once the Spanish already possessed them? Or did they lack the manpower/will to do so?

So, say that some of Western European countries like France, Spain, Portugal and Britain turn Communist in early 20th century. They don't need to all turn communist, just some of them. How would they deal with their colonies? Would it be more likely that the colonies would've gained their...

Your challenge is to have at least one Muslim country establish at least one colony in the New World. It doesn't have to be very successful or last very long, it just has to exist for a time.

With a POD no earlier than 1600, have some German nation (or several of them) colonize the OTL 13 Colonies instead of Britain. Bonus points if the 13 Colonies are colonized by Protestant German states. You can have the English still set up colonies on the East Coast if it's necessary, but the...

Devise a scenario after the Napoleonic Wars where the French birth rate and overall population growth increases allowing it to maintain parity with other contemporary European nations, or to regain its mantle as the "demographic beast" it was the 13th Century. Would something like more...

Your challenge is to switch the fates of new independent states in the Middle East and the Indian Subcontinent after independence from the British Empire. For example: North India (capitalist) and South India (communist) unites like how Yemen united with its communist counterpart near the end...

So this is kind of a spin-off on the Alternative West Indies thread , but focusing more specifically on the Italian Kingdoms/Republics and City-States as potential colonisers in a context where maybe both Spain and Portugal may be nerfed or at least less ambitious in terms of trad ventures...

I'm thinking of doing a TL which, due to a POD in the Castilian War of Succession, creates very different colonies. I have a few ideas but want to know what you guys think?

Your challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to make colonial powers incorporate as many parts of their former colonial empire as possible.There’s a catch though.These territories must have either land connection with the continent they are located in (I would permit a place like Singapore...

Your challenge is to have an analogue to OTL's Maritime Powers, but in antiquity! In this case, eight city-states recognized by excelence in commercial-naval activity, they have to span all the mediterranean (at least two for each region of the mediterranean, separate in Eastern/Central/Western)...

Portugal was at one time the leading power of the world with its colonial and economic weight, but was surpassed by the Spanish, British, French and Russians before their time in the limelight could even begin to sour. So, what could be different? What could've been? Portugaliza? A true Iberian...

Basically, Napoleon never invades Russia, instead reorganizing Eastern Europe and the Balkans so both sides are (more or less) pleased; without having to worry about Russia for the time being, and with Russia still embargoing the Brits, eventually the Spanish guerrillas are crushed, and french...

This challenge asks you to make a scenario in which the 1848 revolutions spread to the colonies of Britain and France and so on. Bonus points for references to the Sepoy mutinies and creating republican movements in India

So every once in a while we discuss about what would happen if the main indigenous nations of America managed to fend off the European settlers and conquerors, from the least (Aztecs) to the most (Incas/Tahuantinsuyus) plausible. 1.Something that I keep wondering, more specifically in...

I'm referring to colonies in the New World, not in Africa. Yes, I know this is unlikely. How would the Prussians treat their colonies? How long would they be able to keep them? Who would be their primary rivals?

As the title implies, your challenge is to have India be divided by the European empires instead of being a singular colony, basically a similar situation to Africa and South East Asia. It can be divided by Britain, France, Portugal, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and/or Italy.
