Being one of two African nations to have avoid being colonized during the scramble for Africa and being the only African nation to successfully fend of a European invasion Ethiopia had the best shot in Africa of becoming an industrial power. Your challenge is to have Ethiopia industrialize and...

Welcome to the world of Imperium Universalis. The premise behind this timeline is “what if the Romans survived to the present day in one form or another” based on the OTL concept of Dominium Mundi or Universal Monarchy. Which means the recognition of one supreme monarch over all other monarchs...

So I heard it was a bit of cliche for the CSA to join the Allies and for the US to join the Central Powers in WW1 but one of things I keep hearing is "the world would be radical different". How exactly does the Confederacy effect the political of the globe in not just North America and the...

I came up with this idea for my TL I'm trying to piece together and thought it would be cool to how different things would if a few African States stayed independent besides just two countries. For the Boer Republics I'm obviously referring to Transvaal and the Orange Free State, Madagascar is...

Heya folks! I'm completely new to this website, but I'm not new to Alternate History. I've been making small scenarios for some years now with some friends of mine. I made an account here because I wanted to post a little something I thought about a few weeks ago, so let's get to it. This first...

In a TL where the Central Powers do win WW1. We have a pretty good idea of what happens to Europe but what be the border changes in Africa? Will there be no border changes? Some colonies becoming independent countries? Will decolonization happen in this timeline?

Let's say that around 300 BCE a pony-like horse breed is developed near the eastern bend of the inner Niger Delta by Mande chieftains that is highly resistant to sleeping sickness and other tropical horse-killing diseases as a result of mixing Barbary horses with local Sahel ponies (yes, I'm...

As we know, the Microstate us a nation with a that is very small. In some cases, they are City-States, independent Cities, or Island Nation, confined to their size due to geography. Some examples include Monaco, Vatican City, Liechtenstein, and San Marino, and the example of Island nations are...

Spanish Guinea was administratively attached to the Viceroyalty of Rio de la Plata from 1778 until independence in 1810. After the May Revolution, the colony was forgotten about and fell into disrepair. Trying to keep the territory together in the mainland after the revolution was already enough...

in 1945, Djibouti had less then 70K people it is very feasible that France could have deported this tiny population to neighbouring Ethiopia and Somalia this population could have then been replaced with French settlers forming a majority white place in Africa how would it develop? would it...

the Dominion of West Africa in a timeline of mine "alt cold war" this a religion map of it circa 1959 blurple = christian green = muslim the two together are its territory i've had some basic ideas about lore for it but I've very little expertise on this area, so I would like some help and...

I was reading up on Communist Parties in Africa for a timeline I've been writing and while most never gained power - or if they had it, have since lost it, I was curious what if there was still a communist country in Africa? First, I'm curious on Benin and the Republic of Congo-Brazzaville -...

The Empire of Sun and Moon: The Story of the Haya People Chapter 1: Dawn Part 0: Background Up to the Year 1300 The Haya people were originally a tribe of fishermen settled around Lake Ukerewe. They separated themselves from the authority of the Banyambo people and the various Karagwe...

Is there a possibility that once the colonial rule over Africa is consolidated, the European powers decide to develop some colonies or at least that there is much more investment for the development of the colonies than in OTL? If this is possible, how does it affect the native population and...

Let’s assume The Netherlands and Belgium remained 1 country after 1830. How would this effect Africa? Would there still be a Colonial Conference of Berlin in 1884-1885, and if yes how would Africa be divided? And what effects would this have on Europe?

On July 26th, 1847, Liberia declared independence from the United States of America and was recognized by the US in 1862. Since then, Liberia has had a close relationship with America and relies on it economically. But what if, instead of declaring independence, Liberia became an official US...

I made this post after being inspired by the alternate history of @Dking527 : What if , in the style of The New Order, Thousand Week Reich, Kaiserreich the new post-colonial countries segmented themselves further? Like when it happened in Ruanda-Urundi (which became Rwanda and Burundi), the...

How likely could the history of Eastern Bantu peoples unfold so that either a) see themselves as part of a common civilisation professing a common identity (somewhere along the lines of modern Romance-speaking states and surrounding nations that see significant Latin influence -- i.e. the...

So as we know, between 1612 and 1872, The Netherlands had a colony in West Africa, called the Dutch Gold Coast. In 1872, they sold this colony to Britain. But what if this never happened. What if the Gold Coast remained Dutch? Would The Netherlands participate in the Scramble for Africa and...

I've been looking into socialist movements during the interwar era and can't find much on it's influence in Africa. I was wondering if there was a chance for a socialist state to establish itself anywhere in Africa during the interwar period or even just a major socialist movement somewhere on...
