Basil Brooke (June 9, 1888-June 26, 1947), known as Basil Brooke, 5th Baronet from 1907 until 1922, when Ulster was officially annexed by Ireland and all noble titles were abolished, a prominent Northern Irish politician of the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) during the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. During the Irish War of Independence and the Ulster Rebellion of 1924, Brooke led his own paramilitary group known as Brooke's Fermanagh Vigilance, a smaller part of the Ulster Volunteers, which was made up of Northern Irish Great War veterans. After Ulster was annexed into Ireland, Brooke led the UUP, although the party was on the fringes of Irish politics and was heavily suppressed by the Irish government in Dublin. During the 1920s and 1930s, Brooke moderated in message in an attempt to gain more votes and began to support Ulster becoming an autonomous part of the Republic of Ireland. During the Second Great War and the British invasion of Ireland, Brooke and the UUP actively collaborated with the invading British Army and Churchill/Moseley government of the United Kingdom. From 1942 to 1944, Brooke was declared the provisional Prime Minister of Northern Ireland by Winston Churchill, a mostly symbolic title as Ulster was still run by the military. After the war, the UUP was banned by the Irish government for its collaboration with the British invaders, and all its members were tired for treason against the Republic of Ireland, with said members either being executed or imprisoned. Brooke himself was sentenced to death and was executed by hanging on June 26, 1947 at the age of 59.
W.T. Cosgrave (June 6, 1880-October 24, 1945), leader of the Fine Gael party and leader of the opposition during the early history of the Republic of Ireland. During the Second Great War, as Fine Gael desired to establish a corporatist United Ireland within the British Commonwealth, Cosgrave actively collaborated with the British invaders and the British government of Churchill and Moseley. As a result, he was tried for treason and was executed by firing squad in Kilmainham Gaol in Dublin on October 24, 1945 at the age of 65. After this, the remaining members of Fine Gael reformed themselves into a new party under the same name after disavowing their collaborationist party members.
James Dillon, another member of the Fine Gael party who also collaborated with the forces of the United Kingdom. After the war, he was sentenced to life imprisonment, although he was released from prison in 1972 due to his poor health. He died in Dublin in 1981, expressing remorse for his past actions.
Eoin O'Duffy, a general in the Irish Army who was the leader of the National Corporate Party, a far-right, clerical, corporatist and catholic political party that collaborated with the British during the Second Great War. After the war, O'Duffy was arrested by the Irish Army for treason, but he died of natural causes while in custody in Kilmainham Gaol in Dublin on November 30, 1944.
Gearóid Ó Cuinneagáin (born John Gerald Cunningham), leader of the Ailtirí na hAiséirghe (meaning "Architects of the Resurrection"), an Actionist party active in Ireland during the 1930s and 1940s and 1950s after its foundation in 1938. Unlike O'Duffy's NCP, the ANA was staunchly anti-British and even participated to a minor degree in the guerrilla war against the invading British armies. The party also advocated for an Actionist Irish state similar to those in France and the CSA, and also called for the increased usage of the Gaelic Irish language over English, with English being a secondary language in Ireland and with a possible future abolition of the English language within Ireland. After the war, the party remained on the fringed of Irish politics. Ó Cuinneagáin dissolved the party in 1955 and retired from politics for good.

José Antonio Primo de Rivera, Caudillo of the Spanish State from 1939 until his death in 1968. After the deaths of Emilio Mola and Francisco Franco during the Spanish Civil War, the young Primo de Rivera, leader of the Falange Española de las Juntas de Ofensiva Nacional Sindicalista, the main actionist party in Spain, became the de facto leader of the Spanish nationalists in opposition to the Kingdom of Spain and the Anarcho-Communists of Catalonia. After the end of the Civil War, the Joven Caudillo began a consolidation of total power over the nation of Spain with the assistance of his allies in the Falange, the Spanish Army, the Catholic Church, numerous militia groups, among others. Throughout his twenty-nine year rule, Spain was an actionist and authoritarian state which showed total brutality towards any and all leftists who rose up in rebellion during the civil war, as well as any other political dissidents, including monarchists, republicans, freemasons and the Jewish minority in Spain. As a result, the White Terror in Spain, which lasted throughout the 1930s and 1940s, caused many deaths amongst both public and private individuals in Spain. Jews were not murdered, but were very much discriminated against in Spanish society. The Spanish State also intensely suppressed any forms of Basque, Catalan, Galician, Aragonian and Andalusian nationalism and also many aspects of their respective cultures. The same held true for Puerto Rico, the last jewel of the Spanish Empire. Any form of Puerto Rican separatism was intensely suppressed and propaganda supported the idea that the island was an integral part of Spain and as Spanish as the mainland.
During the Second Great War, Spain remained neutral but sympathetic to the Entente, and even sent the Blue Division to fight with the French armies in the Low Countries and Germany. After the war and during the 1950s, Primo de Rivera, while continuing to rule Spain as a conservative, Catholic and so-called "moral" nation, also began to open up the Spanish State more to outside world, abandoning some of the autarkic economics of the past decade and opening Spain up to foreign investment, mostly from the United States, Germany and the resurgent and recovering nations of the United Kingdom and France. During the 1950s and 1960s, Spain became one of the most popular tourist destinations for Americans and Germans, this being in spite of the politics of Spain which most foreigners found to be distasteful. The island colony of Puerto Rico also became one of the most popular American tourist destinations throughout the 1950s and 1960s. In the 1960s, Spain relaxed some of its anti-Jewish laws, but continued to brutally suppress any form of regional ethnic identity. Primo de Rivera died suddenly from cancer on September 29, 1968 at the age of 65, after which a semi-Falangist, authoritarian military junta ruled over Spain until the return of democracy to Spain from 1972 to 1974.

Robert Smalls’s escape from slavery.
OTL: On May 13th 1862, Robert Smalls made his escape from slavery by stealing a Confederate ship. Smalls, the son of a house slave and, allegedly, the plantation owner’s son, was raised in the family home. As a teenager, he worked as a day labourer and sailor on the waterfront in Charleston. When the American Civil War began in 1861, Smalls was hired as a deckhand on Confederate supply ship the Planter. Smalls meticulously noted details of the ship and planned navigation routes, preparing to make his escape. In the early hours of May 13th, 1862, while the white crew slept in the city, Smalls and a small group of slaves - which included his wife and children - sailed the Planter out of Charleston. Smalls applied his knowledge from months of working on the ship to provide the correct signals at checkpoints, enabling the ship to sail to the Union blockade. The Planter raised a white flag of surrender, and was accepted by the Union ships. Smalls brought him not just recently-freed slaves, but the valuable Confederate plans and weaponry found aboard the ship. His daring escape earned him accolades from Congress, and his subsequent speaking tour made him a visible spokesperson for African-Americans fighting in the Union army; Smalls himself served as a naval captain.
End of OTL.
Any ideas on his fate in TL-191?
