Mindanao in the 1900s was a largely sparsely populated island like the Americas and Australia with native populations (not including Moros and colonial-era Cebuano-speaking settlers in northern Mindanao coasts) not yet fully transformed into sedentary cultures, so Mindanao could attract both...
In exchange of accepting economic aid and credits from China, would Argentina allow the entry of Chinese and other Asian immigrants like Filipinos or Indians in this ATL if it decides to become a virtual economic vassal of China?
Argentina without the 1930 coup would have turned UCR into an Argentine version of Mexico's PRI where the Radicals will control the Casa Rosada until around the 1980s.
Argentina without the 1930 coup would have its GDP larger than Canada, but its GDP per capita would have been at the same...
Argentina, Australia, and Canada with 100 million people each.
New Zealand and Uruguay with 10 million people each.
Mexico with 200 million people.
Former Soviet Union with 500 million people.
Bolivia, Guatemala, Mexico, and Peru could have pulled a Paraguay had the Spanish colonial regime extended for at least one to two generations. A former Spanish colony in the Asia-Pacific - the Philippines - had its indigenous languages fully preserved and in fact, Spanish was obliterated due to...
A prolonged Spanish rule in the Philippines would entail the continuation of the free movement of people between the Philippines and Spain and for sure, there would have been more inflow of Spanish immigrants (in hundreds of thousands) that would destabilize friars' grip on local politics and...
A wealthier Mexico would not just become more attractive to European immigrants, but also to Asian immigrants like Chinese, Japanese, or Filipinos, so a wealthier Mexico that is friendly to foreign immigrants will compete with the United States or Argentina when it comes to a sheer number of...
Mindanao non-Muslim natives weren't sedentary ethnic groups that were capable of working in sedentary agricultural jobs like rice, corn, banana, abaca, or cacao farming, so the Americans or the Spaniards (had they remained in PH for another 25-50 years) would have still recruited migrants from...
Unlike French Canadian colonies that were acquired by the British, Hispanic River Plate British colonies will be inevitably coinhabited by both Hispanophone natives and Anglophone immigrants from Great Britain and Ireland, so it will be a Montreal or Los Angeles-like scenario for the city of...
Right now, Argentina is on the cusp of an economic collapse that is worse than in 2001 or 1989, and all we know is that Argentina is one of the underdeveloped countries in the world and there are plenty of different academic studies showing that Argentina's economic decline actually began during...
Without the imposition of the unsuitable import-substitution industrialization (ISI) and Juan Peron never becomes president, Argentina would have enjoyed high GDP growth like Western European countries where without Peronism, Argentina would have enjoyed the benefits of the Marshall Plan where...
Spanish language usage in the Philippines flourished during the American colonial period because it was the only viable lingua franca between different ethnolinguistic groups in the Philippines before Tagalog was named as the basis of the national language called Filipino in the 1930s, which is...
The Philippines would have more Chinese, Japanese, and European immigrants and their dscendants (at least 10-20% of PH population) because it used to be an immigrant-recipient country until the 1970s (not comparable to the Americas in terms of volume, but nevertheless Southeast Asia in general...
Mindanao has already had the majority Cebuano-speaking population at the outbreak of WWII, thanks to government-sponsored transmigration from Cebu and Bohol to Mindanao and in fact, my grandfather should have settled in Davao had he never eloped my grandmother when he returned to Cebu for a...
A Beria USSR will have a Putin-like Soviet government, 50 years ahead of the OTL, and a milder Cold War would mean that the global economy will grow faster than in OTL and a Beria USSR will have an economy similar to OTL Spain by the year 2000, assuming that Beria governs USSR like Franco in OTL...
