  1. Australia annexes East Timor or makes it a state

    In 1975 just before Indonesia invaded there was a political party formed by businessman Hnerique Pereira in East Timor who wished for the country to join Australia, but this plan was closed down when Australia rejected the idea. Australia also intervened in East Timor in 1999. Going off either...

    WI: Amalric of Jerusalem annexed Egypt in 1167?

    Being interested at the moment in the Crusades, I asked myself the question of the possibility of annexation of Egypt by the Latin states of the East. The disunity of the Muslims left the Franks plenty of room to develop but when Shirkuh then his nephew Saladin managed to take control of Egypt...
  3. AHC: USA Annexes All of Mexico by 1920

    Basically the title. This wouldn't happen all at once, but perhaps the US takes more in the Mexican Cession, then takes more in the Gasden purchase? At this point, I can't really think of a way for the US to annex all of Mexico except for maybe some shenanigans happened with the Zimmerman...
  4. The Anenexation Bill of 1866 is passed into Law

    Would it be possible for the United States to annex Canada before it became it's own country if his act passed into law? Could this even be done by the US army just after the Civil War? Would the US congress choose to delay Reconstruction enforcement a few years in order to do this first? What...
  5. What would cause the Annexation Bill of 1866 to pass

    In 1866, a bill appeared in the United States House, which would effectively annex Canada for a fairly decent sum of money, and make the territory into states and territories. This was right after the Civil War many Americans were still slightly upset for the British's perceived support for the...
  6. Saudi Arabia annexes North Yemen POD of 1918

    POD of 1918 Make North Yemen be annexed as a Permanent part of Saudi Arabia by 1939 that remains all the way to this alternate present. When looking at how the Saudis took over many Arab Kingdoms such as the Hashemite Kingdom of Hejaz I always thought it was weird that yemen was the only...
  7. Complete Collapse of the Ottoman Empire before the 20th Century

    So right after the death of Suleiman the Magnificent, what are the ways that the Ottoman can collapse before the end of the 19th century? What time periods would this most likely take place and who would be the ones doing the carving/invading/attacking? Does this lead to the independence and/or...

    WI: Russian Moldavia?

    I'd like to start a discussion on a scenario, with a PoD anywhere between 1600 and 1848 (arguably the starting mark of Romanian nationalism), in which the Russian Empire manages to annex the region of Moldavia into its domains after conflicts with the Ottoman Empire. All lands shown in the map...

    WI: Prussia annexes Saxony in 1866?

    Why wasn't the Kingdom of Saxony annexed by expanding Prussia after the Austro-Prussian War of 1866, unlike other similarly significant kingdoms who also fought for Austria, like Hanover and Hesse-Kassel? If Saxony had indeed been annexed by Prussia after being defeated in 1866, what would the...

    Republic of Texas remains Independent

    The Republic of Texas remaining independent and surviving to modern day is slim, it still remains an interesting topic. I have been brainstorming a possible path for Texas to take an remain independent, and I believe it may be plausible. The first thing Texas must do upon declaring...
