====== Points of Divergence : Specific Countries and Territories ======

A list of different countries, each with its own page. Every page showcases possible PODs in the history of the given country. How does it work ? [[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/1/post-6277130|Please read this short manual/tutorial.]]

**NOTE:** Some modern day overseas territories (particularly distant island possesions of various countries in the Pacific) are listed as separate countries, due to their relatively recent colonization by European powers.
