  1. Korea and Japanese-occupied Kyŏngsang

    LORE This is set in an alternate timeline where Poland-Lithuania survived to the present and expanded its territory, eventually encompassing all of northern Asia, much like Russia irl. In 1392, Ri Sŏng-kye deposed the Koryŏ monarchs and established the Chosŏn dynasty, moving the capital from...

  2. Sino-Japanese Relations in a Pacific-Oriented Japan Timeline..?

    So, I'm currently working on a project about an earlier iteration of the Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere (in a sense) headed by an Empire of Japan seeking the expansion of its sphere of influence through the integration of local elites into an expanded Japanese aristocracy instead of...

  3. South Korea WI: Syngman Rhee dies during his last term?

    The first president of South Korea, Syngman Rhee was a ruthless and corrupt far-right dictator whose regime was responsible for the imprisonment and death of tens, if not hundreds of thousands of political dissidents. He was also a very old man, being 84 years old by the time he was finally...

    WI/PC: Second Korean War after Successful Blue House Raid?

    Reading up on the Blue House Raid attempt got me thinking that if successful (resulting in the death of Park Chung-Hee that is), aside from South Korea possibly retaliating by doing the same towards Kim Il-Sung, how will it lead to a resumption of hostilities in the Korean peninsula?

    WI: The Dutch East India Company reaches Korea, and at the same time, the Netherlands, which owns the VOC, immediately colonises the Korean Peninsula

    See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Netherlands So, in this pre-1900 what if (WI) history thread, the Dutch East India Company (Dutch: Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie or VOC) was looking for areas within the so-called Indo-Pacific to conquer just to resist its low-lying...

  7. Democratic North Korea and Totalitarian South Korea

    Say Park Chung-Hee is never assassinated and Kim Il-Sung is overthrown in a Chinese backed coup by generals who don't want North Korea to turn into a monarchy. If North Korea successfully reforms into Democratic Socialism (successfully as China will allow anyway) while South Korea turns to...

    Side A: The Korean Peninsula under British control. Side B: Denmark takes over all of Korea, plus Norway, Finland, Iceland, the Baltics, etc.

    Warning! This might be a prologue while it is [still] under construction. #DanishKorea - "Danish Korea" #DanishFarEast - "Danish Far East" So, I would show to you mates what does Side B mean, through a map I edited seen below: So, if not only the Danish would have colonised the whole Korean...
