How likely was a Portuguese takeover of Japan, with a PoD before 1700? Comparing this hypothetical scenario to OTL's British conquest of India, it doesn't seem too impossible to me. Like the Portuguese in Japan, the British were originally interested in commerce with India, before they got...

Create a Somali colonial empire by 1900 similar to that of Japan with a POD of 1200.

Assume that Charles, The Bold, Duke of Burgundy, is more smart than bold, and manages to successfully carve out an independent kingdom or realm for himself at the expense of France and the Holy Roman Empire in the 1470's. Assume that this state holds the territories of all the Netherlands...

Suppose Germany takes an isolationist position after 1871 - it tries to keep together the DKB as long as possible and afterwards allies Russia rather than Austria, for merely defensive reasons, as they'd also drop their colonial projects so as to better relations with France and Britain. Any...

This is admittedly unrealistic, but is it possible at all for any European nation to keep most of its colonies and eventually grant all citizens of their empire equal rights regardless of race or religion? I researched this a bit myself and I find it easier to see Europe do this with a POD prior...

Lads, realistically Sweden really deserves a nice wank so, get involved with the wanking lads. We're talking after 1800. They just deserve Finland they deserve African/Asian colonies. We should be going after 1900 too for a nice wank. Laddies and boys let's make it happen, let's wank off Sweden!! :)

Right, lads so I thought good old Italy deserves a good ol' fashioned wank. So we want a wank for Italy, with PODs after unification we want them having as muchos territory as possible and all of the cheeky colonies they want. Course we have them absolutely DESTROYING Ethiopia. We'll have their...

In OTL, the atrocities of the Congo Free State were documented brought to light by European missionaries. This resulted in the Belgian government taking the colony from King Leopold is which improved the conditions that the Congolese natives were living under. But how different would Congo be...

So let’s say that during and before 1821: 1). The ACS purchases Sierra Leone from Britian, and annexes modern-day Guinea, Guinea-Basseu, Senegal, Ivory Coast, and Gambia which all get incorporated into Liberia. 2). A much larger number of black freedman from North America, the Caribbean, and...

Given that the distance between Japan and Australia is only 6,848 km, I couldn’t help but wonder think about a hypothetical TL where Australia is colonized and established as a settler colony by Japan instead of Britain during the 17th-18th centuries. And similar to OTL, the following things...

In 1638, on the tail end of the other New England colonies being established, an extreme Puritan colony called New Haven (capital New Haven) was founded without a charter in order to attempt an even closer church-state relationship than in Massachusetts Bay, which was famed for its religious...
