For me, I think it would have to be Cuba vs. South Africa in the Angola conflict. That just seems marvellously random.

What unlikely-sounding ATL combatants can we think of? Mongolia vs Paraguay? ;)

Unlikely sounding alternate TL combatants?

How about the Australian Republic vs the Ethiopian Empire over New Guinea?
 

Wendell

OTL: U.S. and Korea, or Italy and Ethiopia


ATL: Britain and Great Zimbabwe over the spoils of the vanquished Dutch Empire.

In ATL, maybe we could have the Soviet Theocratic Empire of All the Neanderthals located in Upper Canada and Scandanvia, forming an alliance with the Draka in order to stop the Race which had been ISOT'ed from the 1960's.

Confused? :confused: Well, so am I.

Bill Gates' soccer team defeats the Bantu Caliphate's tennis team, which means King Charles X of Thailand will have to be paired with Emperor Bubba of Japan in the World Wrestling Federation's latest tag-team wrestling match on pay-per-view...

...oh, you mean real wars, not scripted ones?

Okay, King Charles X of Thailand doesn't like the way the media moguls of the United States of Wyoming dominate the world, so he invades the Commonwealth of Rwanda, which he hopes will indirectly do something-or-other...

Okay, Napoleon invades England, the British monarchy and government escapes to Rwanda which ends up being the last outpost of the British Empire and Rwanda invades Canada to steal its hockey team, Canada surrenders in exchange for Rwanda helping Canada get Switzerland's naval bases...

Hmm... how about the war between Liechtenstein and Bhutan?

Or perhaps the Nauru-Andorra war, the Kazakhstan-Uruguay battles over Australia, Or the interplanetary wars fought by Luxembourg and San Marino?

The Greater Empire of Dixieland decides that it must attack the combined Race/Draca fleet off the coast of the Hong Kong Federation in order to get the Republic of Vermont to sign a peace treaty with the Vatican Holy Russian Empire.:eek:
 

David bar Elias

The Jewish theocracy of New Zion, in OTL Texas/Louisiana vs. the liberalized and considerably more relaxed Israeli Republic (located in OTL's South Africa) over trading routes to India.

Your first one wasn't unlikely at all, not with all those Cubans assisting in the struggle in Angola and the South Africans working there by proxy.

Now then Greenland invaded by Kuwait because of lack of fresh water, thats unlikely.

OTL UK-Argentina sounds quite unlikly aswell. And NATO-afghanistan? Not bad either!



MY favorite ATL is where the bantu stromtroopers failed to invade australia because of the heat.

Finland invading China and the headlines on the Russian newspapers say: "Oh no, not again!".

OTL: From an 1880 perspective the whole Israel-Palestine thing looks improbable to say the least, or there is the Childs crusade, or the Albegensian which is really unlikely. In modern times the US attack on Genada has more than a touch of the Grand Fenwicks about it. Wounded knee II and the Cree uprising against Quebec are somewhat on the unlikely side.

ATL: from 'The Space Merchants' I am reminded of the Ad Agencies fighting out points of business to the death with firearms OK coral style on the steps of a public building.

The domination of Scanias sack of Beijing in 1906 was kind of unexpected as the Scanian motorized elite force was only out to do a reconaissance mission. In the lower baikal-area they were insulted by Chinese merchants who besides refusing to sell cheap Ganja to them called them "Ugly Strawheads", and from then on it was just chaos.

The supernice liberal cozy-lull empire of Northumbrias extermination of the arabs was another thing that "just happened".

IOTL:
USA vs Afghanistan (they used to be pals remember!)

The Conservative Laplandic Empire allied with the Socialist Republic of Judo-Islam fighting against the Secular Aztec Federal Monarcy and the Liberal Tibetian Yeti Teochracy. Sounds like my TLs:D
