After Tancred, regent for the young Bohemond of Antioch, survived an 1112 typhoid epidemic, he began putting the wheels in motion toward an ambitious invasion of the Sultanate of Rūm. Having laid the groundwork with a series of alliances with Georgia, Cilician Armenia, and the County of Edessa, Tancred invades in 1120, taking advantage of the long civil war between the brothers Mesud and Malik Shah. With the throne of Rūm having changed hands several time, Tancred and his allies overran the Sultanate, defeating a hastily combined forces of the brothers at the Battle of Sivas before proceeding to capture Konya and Ancyra.
By 1120, Tancred declares himself King of Anatolia, his kingdom surviving independently until 1421 as a cosmopolitan regional power, where a mostly Turkic-speaking local populace gradually converts to Christianity, hence the gradual drift of the name Anatolia to Anatoliye. After years of decline, Anatoliye is finally reunited to the Eastern Roman Empire by Manuel IV, better known as Manuel the Reformer.

the Prussian South China Company
A trading company founded in 1663 after Fredrick Coyett, formerly the Dutch East India Company governor of Formosa, went to Berlin to seek investors and official sanction from Fredrick William, elector of Brandenburg and Duke of Prussia, to form a new company to retake Formosa and seek new trading opportunities with China and Japan.
Coyett was able to obtain funds and a contingent of Brandenburg-Prussian soldiers and set off in 1665 to reconquer Formosa from Koxinga, which he was successful at. He then negotiated with the Shogunate of Japan to replace the Dutch as the only sanctioned Western power to trade with Japan at the island of Dejima. Later, he came to the aid of the Daimyo of Satsuma who was dealing with a rebellion. In reward for that, Satsuma granted the Company the right to colonize the Ryukyu Islands under the twin suzerainty of them and the Qing, granting it the lucrative monopoly over trade between China and Japan.
The success of the Company became the kernel of the Prusssian colonial empire, which eventually came to include Klein-Venedig (also known as Prussian/German Guyana) as well as territories in Africa and the Pacific Islands.

The Roman Province of Agader
A province located south of Mauretania after a Roman expedition consisting of a small cohort and some burghers successfully traversed the dangerous Sahara Desert in AD 127 at the behest of Emperor Hadrian, who was interested if there was civilization beyond the great desert. Using the local Berbers as guides, they reached the other side of the desert, encountering the natives. After trading with the local villages for salt, gold, and slaves, they returned back to Imperial territory where they became famous for their exploits.
In the decades after the successful expedition, the Romans created a few oasis towns to exploit this new source of wild animals, gold, salt, and slaves, using the Berbers and the local African population as mediums for this expanded trade. It would prove pivotal in the eventual conversion of West Africa to Christianity, although one of a syncretized nature due to the distance between them and the church in Rome. Agader would eventually be abandoned shortly before the demise of the Western Roman Empire in 476, with the towns left mostly independent until the rise of Wagadou in the 500s who reclaimed much of Agader and the oasis towns.
The Dance of the Wyverns
The Milanese civil wars of 1447 - 1568 are often refered to as the Dance of the Wyverns (italian: Danza delle Viverne), as it was initially started by internal feud in the Visconti Family, of which the Wyvern is the emblem. Tensions between the twelve sons of Filipo Maria Visconti and his wife Maria di Savoia, not to mention his illegitimate but spirited daughter Bianca Maria Visconti, led to a period of convoluted and highly confusing turmoil: eight different Visconti candidates, the ambitious Sforza condottiere, not to mention the King of France and the Pope, laid claim to the city. Only with the victory of the troops of the Golden Republic would a short-lived peace prevail, leaving the Milanese with surplus Wyvern-struck banners and a proverb: Longh cumè la fabbrica della republica.
