I haven't gotten around to writing it yet. I am making these wikiboxes to help me brainstorm. The PoD is Aang is never found in the ice. Here's the most I've written on it so far:

I am interested in this reference. Any reason they are such an enemy of White Africa ITTL?
ITTL, the Germans assisted the Boers in the Third Boer War against British and South African forces. Britain ensured that this animosity perdured, since a German-South African alliance would destroy their colonial holdings in southern Africa.
If Aang was never found, I feel like the Fire Nation would conquer the whole world and we eventually end up with the globe spanning reign of Phoenix Queen Azula.
Yeah, The Fire Nation runs wild for a while however they can't hold on forever so about 70 years later things start becoming unglued rather dramatically. Also Azula personality and mental illness alienated a lot of people so she gets Caesar'd by the higher ups.
On another note, have a canon Izumi with some headcanons to fill in the blanks:

What prominent Young Briton figures collaborated with the American Red Army, and did they get any prominent positions in the Canadian government?
A slowly decaying imperial power, sapped in strength by her commitments in Mitteleuropa and Africa. Still very powerful, but decadent.
Holy cow. Batman-Captain America grossed over a billion dollars and it only costed $185 bucks...Three films from two different universes.
Here's another post in the same universe as the 1924 NY Gov Election. I have several more but considering on what happens, I might use this idea and turn it into a game for later use.
This is cursed. But in a good way, of courseThree films from two different universes.

Are you editing in the fire nation flags or did someone upload it to wikimedia? I'm just using an old North Macedonian flag for the fire nation in my wiki boxes.

Tales of Ba Sing Se
The War of the Southern League was a major rebellion within early Earth Kingdom history that had profound effects upon the entire continent. Lasting for over 25 years and affecting virtually every Province and Kingdom in the realm, the figures that participated in the war are still remembered today, some revered and others despised.
The War of the Southern League was a major rebellion within early Earth Kingdom history that had profound effects upon the entire continent. Lasting for over 25 years and affecting virtually every Province and Kingdom in the realm, the figures that participated in the war are still remembered today, some revered and others despised.
No nation in the known world is nearly as expansive or diverse as the Earth Kingdom. Spanning an entire continent, the realm englobes many different cultures, ethnicities, languages and cultures.
One of the most notable contrasts is the difference between the Northern and Southern Earth Kingdom, separated by the Full Moon Seas and the Rivers Bao and Lai in the west and east respectively. The North is home to great plains, bountiful fields and steep mountains, while the south is dominated by deserts, forests and hills. In fact, language, art, cuisine, even appearance, all are very different in each of the two regions.
By the late 7th Century BG, Ba Sing Se had long established its dominance over the continent. However, the Earth Kings failed to impose an effective centralization, or even regulation of the different regions that payed them homage. Aside from tributes, the South and west were mostly independent in law and customs. So when the 18th Earth King decided to raise taxes on the realm in order to further his infrastructure projects, the South found itself unwilling to pay. The many kings, governors, Prefects and mayors of the southern realm bound together under the command of the young King Yi Yi of Omashu, largest of the southern cities with the objective of curtailing the power of Ba Sing Se. Already famous in his youth for his clash with Sand tribes, Yi Yi was as respected commander and competent administrator (as well as excellent Earthbender, as it was common in the noble lines of the south).
There was little fighting in the early years. As the 18th Earth King was unwilling to commit a large fighting force to march into the south, and the Southern League had little need to march north (as they could simply withhold taxes and defend their land). That changed when Ba Dong Se, sister city and old rival of the capital, rebelled. Standing a few weeks to the east of the capital, on the mouth of the river Dui, Ba Dong Se had long competed for influence with its larger neighbor. When it rebelled, making common cause with Yi Yi, most of the eastern provinces followed suit. This posed an unacceptable situation to Ba Sing Se, that found itself threatened so close to home.
Forced to act, the Earth King dispatched an army 90,000 strong under the command of famous General Lao Bai to make an example of Ba Dong Se. The war in the east turned bloody quickly, as forces from both sides burned the fields and villages between the cities, and the entire area became a no man’s land of blood and death. The timing was fruitful for King Yi Yi, who had been amassing a huge army of over 250,000 southerners in Omashu. Notorious among them was famed Governor Pac Beifong of Gaoling (an old rival of Yi’s father), King Tui of Hundun and the warlord Sang, mightiest of the Sand tribesman. King Yi planned to march the forces north and cross the River Lai in the east, joining the eastern provinces and smashing Ba Sing Se. But destiny would have other plans.
The Western realms (themselves very different from the capital) remained loyal to the Earth King, and marched south with a force of over 100,000 under the command of the legendary Prince Tai of Taku. On a slow march, Tai crossed the river Bao, and entered the southern Earth Kingdom. He then slowly circumvented the Great Divide, and was making his way through the Hei Bai forest when Yi’s host intercepted him. Yi had forced his armies on a speed march to reach the Western host before they could advance too deep into the South. The two armies clashed in a famous battle on the forests, which resulted in a southern victory and massive western causalities. Among them was Prince Tui, whose head was torn of by a boulder flung by Governor Pac.
This battle, nevertheless, proved fortuitous for the Loyalists, as it gave time to General Lao Bai to deal with Ba Dong Se in the east. And deal with them he did, as, after achieving five victories in five days, General Bai stormed the eastern city, and had it completely destroyed. Every stone in the city was torn down and moved, so that none would remember that ancient place. The Example of Ba Dong Se was enough to scare the eastern Provinces back into submission, and just like that, all the land above the Lai was again under the thumb of the Earth King.
For the next few years the war dragged on without much change. Yi’s forces failed to invade the north, being repelled at the rivers Bao and Lai repeatedly. The same would happen to the Loyalists when they tried to invade the south. The Twin rivers were said to flow red for years after, while no land changed hands.
As the years passed the 18th Earth King died a natural death, and his son, the 19th Earth King assumed the Jade Throne. A spoiled and wrathful young man, the Earth King had little interest in governance, leaving most of it to his close friend and First Minister Wu Liukai.
The 19th Earth King was, nevertheless, motivated in retaking the south. He put aside Liukai’s suggestions of diplomacy for more bellicose tactics. His lack of military knowledge, however, would lead him to commit a series of strategical blunders. He replaced General Lao Bai with Governor Li Bang of Yi Province (greatest of northern mountain provinces), and ordered a massive invasion of the South. The 200,000 force would march south, meeting the armies of King Yi Yi in the shores of eastern Full Moon Bay. The resulting battle would be disastrous for the loyalists, and not half their numbers would return to Ba Sing Se. The victory allowed Yi Yi to cross the rivers for the first time in the war, and he marched unopposed against the capital.
The siege of Ba Sing Se would last two years. As the city begun to starve, First Minister Liukai pleaded with the Earth King to allow him to negotiate with the rebels. The Earth King would comply, but would offer no concessions to the Southern forces, ensuring the failure of negotiations. Not that Yi Yi had any real interest in a peaceful resolution, of course.
On the 16th dawn of the third month of the year of 599 AG, southern representatives would be allowed to enter the city to meet with the Earth King directly. Who they saw on the Jade Throne was none other than Wu Liukai. The 19th Earth King had choked on his food (almost universally accepted to have been poisoned), and, leaving no heirs, brought an end to his dynasty. Liukai now ruled as the 20th Earth King.
His first action was to conceded great autonomy to the Southern League, granting all southern realms exemption of tax for 20 years, and showering them with gifts and titles. Greatest among these was Yi Yi, who he named “Greatest of Warriors”. Faced with this great diplomatic victory, most southern lords were content, and decided to march back home, much to the displeasure of Yi Yi, who still wished to capture the city.
The Southern forces had barely left eyesight of the walls when the Earth King officially revoked his previous proclamation. He returned Lao Bai to his position as head of the army, and started to form a new host. He sent word to the western provinces to assemble a new army and march south once more (and they readily did so, happy to gain revenge for the death of Prince Tai).
Caught by surprise in the rear, the larger force of Yi Yi and his lords found itself disorganized against the veteran army of Lao Bai. Victory would come to the loyalists, that would capture a number of southern rulers and kill others (among them Governor Beifong). King Yi would escape with a large part of his forces, only to find much of the south ravaged by the western lords. Seeing the unity of the Southern League disintegrating, most of its leaders captured and forced to surrender, and much of his army deserting, King Yi retreated to Omashu, where he fell on his sword.
By the end of the year the war would be over. The 20th Earth King would go on to rule for over 76 years. Following the war he had an outer wall erected around Ba Sing Se so that the city might never again starve under a siege. He remains a deeply controversial figure. “The 19 reforms of Liukai” are standard reading for every bureaucrat, while the “Poetry of the Wu” praise him as a great ruler. The play “The usurper Liukai”, however, condemns him as a traitor and tyrant. It is particularly popular in the south.
