unification

We all know the history of the unifications of Germany and Italy. But to oversimplify... In Germany, after Napoleon, the age of Romanticism and Rise of German Nationalism, which culminated in the failed 1848 Revolution, Germany would be united through blood and iron. Under the prime minister...

What is the earliest point at which the Low Countries can be a unified, independent state? And how would this be accomplished? Ideally, I'm searching a way that leads to an independent state (so no unification under a foreign power) where Old or Middle Dutch is the main language or at least...

In OTL, Italy was divided into many City-States, Duchies and Kingdoms. From the Medieval times, to the Renaissance, and to the 19th century, there were many famous nations, such as Venice, Genoa, and Tuscany and etc. Eventually, all of it was United during the 19th century under the Kingdom of...

Oda Nobunaga was one of three unifiers of Japan. Through brilliance, and brutality, he almost unified the entirety of Japan. But, he was betrayed by Akechi Mitsuhide, at Honnō-ji. After his death, Toyotomi Hideyoshi finished his conquests. What if, Akechi Mitsuhide didn’t betrayed Oda...

During 1949, the Hashemites proposed that the Kingdom of Iraq merge with the Republic of Syria under the Fertile Crescent Plan. The People's Party, located in Northern Syria were enthusiastic about the Fertile Crescent Plan, but the army-backed National Party opposed the very idea of living...

When reading or watching the general history about South Africa, I’ve read about the Great Trek, in which masses of Dutch Settlers from Cape Colony, called Boers, move further inland, and established various republics, like the South African Republic and the Orange Free State. The Question I’d...

Another small and fun one today :) What if, after Giuseppe Garibaldi defeated the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies , for whatever reason he decides to form his own republic instead of handing over the land to Savoy?

(A bit ASB, and ignoring a lot of butterflies and events at that time, just mostly a compare two empires) What if most of Italy was unified, between 14th Century-17th Century? How would the combined armies of Italians, face off against the Ottoman Empire? Venice is still independent, but...

What if Prussia manages to stay indendant and isolated from the German states? If your POD is rather late, could Prussia leaves the North German Confederation? Would the other German states (excluding Austria and Prussia) unite under one state? If not, with the situation staying the same long...

As the title says, make the South Slavs unite differently from the OTL Yugoslav state that was centred in Serbia but attempted to appease the other ethnic groups. The borders do not need to be those of OTL Yugoslavia. Any South Slavic nation state that contains a few South Slavic ethnicities...

Okay, so this AHC is pretty simple: Create a unified German state at the worst possible time using the worst possible nation to do the uniting in the worst possible way both for Germany and the rest of the world, though, if priorities conflict, make it worse for Germany first. The unification...

Was it ever possible to have a united Greece in ancient times? If so, how? I don't count Philip nor Alexander because the country was actually Macedon.

What sort of political scenario would be necessary in order for the peaceful unification of the British colonies of New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, West Australia, and Queensland into the Dominion of Australia in 1901 to be butterflied away? What sort of ramifications would...

Based off various posts I asked before, but I’ll ask again. If the Holy Roman Empire was reenstatied after the Napoleonic Wars, and Prussia kicked out Austria, and unified the HRE under a Hohenzollern, and calls for national unification, What would be the Name of this United HRE

I did a similar thread discussing this topic: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/could-otto-von-bismarck-unify-the-holy-roman-empire.447253/ In an alternate scenario where the Holy Roman Empire was never dissolved or/and reinstated after the Napoleonic wars, Could Otto Von Bismarck...

Usually whatever is at your historical disposal, prevent India from being split into Pakistan and India.

Dublin, Modern day Dublin[1] It was snowing and cold, as it usually always was. There was a muffled thump of a weight landing on the cold ground indicative of the frost conditions for days past. “Is buide lemm frit.[2]” Words followed by a foggy cloud. The speaker's travels were long but an...

Of the many characters that rose from the aftermath of the french revolution, no one is as enigmatic and such a military genius as the italian Alexander, Napoleone Buonaparti that funded the italian empire, I mean, he first couped the genovese government and then defeated the austrians and the...

Try and make a timeline in which England does not unify until the 19th century at around the same time that Germany and Italy do. For the sake of continuity, we will assume that the kingdom of Wessex, while not being able to unify England, still creates the Empire, and gets all of the colonies...

Imperial China is traditionally considered to have started after The Qin conquered its neighbours . What'd happen if the Zhao or the Chu unified the nation? Would it be possible?
