I am a bit obsessed with the idea that the division of Africa does not happen (at least later). So imagine a world where Bismarck was assassinated in 1866, the Fran-Prussian War did not occur until much later and therefore the Berlin conference did not occur. For this reason, I saw that African...

Would the Austro-Prussian and Franco-Prussian Wars occur? Wouldn't there be the distribution of Africa (I would like to reflect on this)?

I challenge you an alternate line where the kingdom of Madagascar survives the French aggression and manages to become a regional power similar to Japan.

What states would there be in place of Kenya had there been no European colonisation of the area? I know the Kilwa Empire was in control of the Swahili Coast, but what about the interior of the country? What native powers could rise in the region?

If we assume that Britain got very drunk or somehow was otherwise convinced to accept the Flahaut Plan, thus dividing Belgium up into pieces, what could we reasonably expect to befall Africa, if there's no Berlin Conference due to King Leopold deciding to own the single biggest region in Africa...

African Yugoslavia: A West African Story The Beginning and Opening Thoughts December 1st 1944: The Thiaorye Massacre was the touchstone that would start a revolution. Senegalese soldiers in French Senegal, staged a mutiny against France, as the nation had neglected to pay its colored...

In the 19th Century, the European Powers held the Berlin Conference, which divided the continent of Africa, between themselves. When people think about Imperialism and Colonialism, they think of economic exploitation of the land and it's native people. While that statement is true and there's no...

Challenge: With a POD between the 15th Century to the 17th Century, have the Ottoman Empire break out of the Red Sea and Persian Gulf, defeat the Portuguese in the Indian Ocean, and sail further down the coast of East Africa, and dominate the Swahili City-States. Now, it doesn't have to be...

Between 1612 and 1871, the Netherlands had a colony in Ghana, called the Dutch Gold Coast. In 1871, they sold the Gold Coast to the United Kingdom. But what if in an alternate timeline, The Netherlands kept the Gold Coast, and never sell it. What would have happened? Would the Netherlands...

Invisible Children, Inc. aimed to have Kony captured before 2012 would end. Obviously that failed. But what if that actually succeeded? What would happen next?

What is a place in Africa where the Netherlands could have build a new colony in the 19th century?

Let us suppose some time during the Bronze and or Iron age South Semitic people find and settle in Madagascar. How would this effect the History of the Indian ocean and Africa?

We know Botswana as a success story across the African continent, from second poorest country in the world to 4th richest in the continent per capita. What if the rest of the African continent had this kind of leadership, stable democracy, competent men actually running their governments and...

Aside from Liberia (which was founded by freed American slaves) I don't think the US had much interest in Africa after the Civil War, but WI America had decided it wanted its own stake in African colonization, where might we have done so?

What could have happened for African countries to colonize the Americas? Countries like the Mali Empire seemed to have enough resources at home to focus on, as well as lacking the naval capabilities to travel west. It seems the criteria would be a country with a strong navy (or the potential for...

After their narrow victory in the 1948 election, the National Party of South Africa retained a majority (and later a supermajority) of seats in parliament until the end of apartheid in 1994. Was there any plausible chance for the United Party to return to power through an election, especially if...

I am challenging you to place Africa under one colonizer with a POD before 1900. Bonus points for it being under company rule.

Your challenge is to have there be an empire based in Sub-Saharan Africa and ruled by sub-Saharan Africans with at least some territory in Europe.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_African_Federation#1960s_proposal According to wikipedia, there was an attempt to create a federation composed of Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya, and the three countries' respective leaders, Nyerere, Obote and Kenyatta entered negotiations to turn this union into...

The idea of the challenge is fairly simple - with a POD(s) anytime after the founding of Islam, have Europe become majority Muslim while Africa becomes majority Christian. To be more specific - the area of Europe i'm referring to should include at least areas OTL known as Italy, Spain, France...
