Well, the Ottomans are having the longer list of allies here. But it all depends on how much they're willing to invest in 'their' side.

True, but I imagine they're still going to take losses either way. They could really do with a few decades of just being left alone.

No actually the list is the same as OTL. Just Austria is more reluctant TTL.

Austria wants to Keep good Relations with France which is seen both the main competitor for (North) Africa) and as partner in carving it up.

In the end Austria decided to work towards a nominally Independent Egypt, but one that is not too powerful. In the end the result will be the same as OTL - basically.

Egypt will to have Abandon Syria and probably Palestine and the Sinai.



Notes on the map:

Tunisia is de facto independent from the OE, moreso as Austria holds Libya (Tripolitania TTL)

The Hedjaz (tribes and local rulers) is reluctant to take a side and are looking toward (limited) Independence along an independent Egypt.

Elba is too small to be shown at this scale.

Note Brazil is a different Color as it is ruled by its own Emperor.

Actually those are the main differences TTL.

The Ottomans and their allies increase their pressure on Egypt.

British and Russian troops make land in the Lebanon, while Austrian (colonial) troops advance on Alexandria from Tripolitania.
 

Richter von Manthofen

1842

Austrian troops finally retreat from Alexandria after they had occupied the City last year during the Orient crisis. One price for the retreat was a concession to build a canal between the Mediterranian and Red Seas. Austrian Engineers had used the crisis and Blockade of Egypt by the English, French and Austrian fleets to secretly look for suitable places along the Egyptian coast.
