chile

I will keep this short. Let's say that, after Chile declares its independence from Spain, they decide to have a constitutional monarchy in order to preserve order and civility in the political scene and to avoid the failed republics and constant coups and civil wars that happen in other Latin...

In this What If scenario, where Alessandri won the election with first relative majority, and then the Congress confirmed his victory (thanks PDC support), what you think would happen next? I mean, Allende's Popular Unity will collapse or survives enough for 1976 election? The PDC will seek new...

Hi folks! This is my first post on this board, so apologies if I've made any mistakes e.g. posting in the wrong forum, question asked previously. My question is, what is the latest plausible POD that would allow for a British Patagonia? Of course, the 1806-1807 Invasions of the River Plate...

La Plata, under the Saavedra Junta, one of the longest military governments in history, has been one of the most successful states in the New World, rivaling the USA and Gran Colombia. dominating the southern Andes and the Southern Cone. But this wasn't inevitable, and your goal is to prevent...

There are a multiple ways in which Chile, which had the similar economic potential early in the 20th century as Australia and New Zealand, could have infinitely become better off than the mess it has become in the past 50-plus years. I find some the best ways are: 1. Avoid the severe...

In our timeline the southern Chile-Argentina border runs west to east before turning roughly east-southeast to Punta Dungeness, going across the Strait of Magellan, and then south down Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego to the Beagle Channel. So is there any way to have the border instead continue...

The loudspeaker broadcast the final boarding call for the ferry. I had been smoking a cigarette and staring out across the harbour, looking at nothing in particular but taking in the sunshine on a nearly cloudless day. The announcement broke my focus, so I grabbed my backpack off the dock, mate...

This is going to be my first attempt at creating a TL. Please forgive the mistakes that I may make. In this TL, Operation Soberania is launched earnestly by the Argentineans and a full blown war starts in South America which gradually leads to the involvement of every country on the continent...

Former dictator of Chile Augusto Pinochet was held under house arrest in the UK by a warrant issued by Spanish judge Baltazar Garzón. After several months, he was released on grounds of ill health and allowed to return to his home country. Is it possible for him to be extradited to Spain...

Despite claiming in his memoirs that he was the leading plotter of the 1973 Chilean coup d'état, Pinochet is generally believed to have only joined the coup very shortly before it occurred. Which raises an interesting question: suppose he never joined? What consequences would him not joining the...

Let's say that Argentina doesn't cancel its planned invasion of Chile (maybe Pope John Paul II is unable to get involved for whatever reason) and open war between the two countries begins in December 1978. What would happen, and what consequences would a "Beagle War" have?

Bear in mind this Argentina (and Uruguay also included) was basically taken over by Britain during Napoleonic War and it ended up becoming part of the British Empire afterwards. I am not looking for answers on how it be realistic for it to happen. Basically instead of a Falklands War in 1982...

Immediately after the 1958 World Cup in Sweden, many teams rushed to complain to FIFA due to the immensely short time to prepare between games at the World Cup, before and during the WC. However, FIFA couldn't come to a solution. The qualifiers would take a good year to complete, and then the WC...

In OTL Chile annexed the easternmost Polynesian Island, Easter Island/Rapa Nui, how can Chile and other Latin American nations colonise the Pacific? What nation could establish colonies in Oceania? Ecuador and the Central American nations are too small and weak. Colombia might have a large...

For whatever reason Chile's coup never happens so the project go's on

Rapa Nui from Easter Island succesfully settle the Galapágos Islands and the Juan Fernandez Islands, what happens? How does contact between the Native Americans of mainland South America and the Polynesians go? What happens when Europeans arrive? What are the Galapagos and Juan Fernandez...

I'm thinking a Fuegian group (maybe the Yaghan) settles the Falklands from Tierra Del Fuego, South Georgia from the Falklands, the South Sandwich Islands from South Georgia, the South Orkneys from the South Sandwiches, the South Shetlands from the South Orkneys and mainland Antarctica from the...

Let's say in 1984 Pinochet is killed by a communist. What happens next?

For the past few months I've had an idea floating around in my head where, in a world where Germany wins World War I, an increasingly unstable and nearly bankrupt France deems itself unable to hold onto French Polynesia, and proceeds to sell the islands to Chile in an attempt to raise money...

I was pondering, what if the Baltimore Incident of 1891, which sparked a diplomatic crisis between the United States and a hostile Chile, had led to a naval war between both countries? There was a serious war scare at that moment, IIRC, and some of the US military staff advised a preemptive war...
