On the Shoulder of Giants -Federation of Mali TL Chapter 1.0 Selected Passages From: My Life, My Honor, My Duty - Autobiography by Léopold Sédar Senghor This is my story, the world I tried to build. My successes, and my failures. I hope through me the future generation of leaders, and...

Heya folks! I'm completely new to this website, but I'm not new to Alternate History. I've been making small scenarios for some years now with some friends of mine. I made an account here because I wanted to post a little something I thought about a few weeks ago, so let's get to it. This first...

Background (1940-45) “While In our present day we resent Paris I still must remember what it gave me. I learned of Marxism, and socialism in underground reading groups, and I dreamed of the world to be built in Africa. I dreamt of peace, and I dreamt of close ties to France, yet when I returned...

Say the Mali Colonize South America and set up plantation colonies worked by slaves both taken from weaker tribes and imported from parts of Europe. Eventually they realize that escaped slaves are easier to find when they stand out from the population so they start exclusively using...

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...

What if the Songhai Empire's 1542 bid to conquer the Mali Empire had been successful? How might it have affected history?

Hey all, looking back I'm glad my first thread on this topic went well. Anyways, now I'll ask how a 'No Islam scenario would affect Africa', immensely I imagine. For a POD, once again Mohammed either never begins his teachings, or he just dies early. Whatever works. So here are some of my...

With a POD in 1900 have Azawad(Northern Mali) emerge as independant state. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azawad

AHC: Create a second Mali Empire before French Colonialism in the region.

Of course, there would be the pretty obvious drastic butterflies, including: -No depreciation of the gold in Arabian and European markets -Mali Empire would still have a crazy amount of gold with their hold etc. But how would this affect Marco Polo's voyage to China? How would this create less...

Portugese traders were motivated to sail around west Africa to trade with Mali for it's gold. When Mali lost it's gold mines to the Songhai, they began selling slaves to the portugese. What if Mali prevents Songhai or any other empire from seizing it's gold mines and thus the slave trade is...

What if the Mali empire didn’t collapse and institute the reforms needed to make sure it survive

Is there any good PoD, or set of PoD's, to prevent the sudden fall of Samori Ture's militarily competent (and also pretty interesting) West African state, the Wassoulou Empire, in the 1890's, to French colonial forces? If the Wassoulou Empire does manage to survive in the long term, how will it...

During decolonization, there were some unsuccessful attempts to make pan-national confederations. The Union of African States joined Ghana, Guinea and Mali between 1958-1963, and the Mali Federation joined Mali and Senegal for two months in 1960. I believe there were several more examples that...

So the the Mansa Abubakari (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Bakr_II) desired to find the edge of the Atlantic Ocean and sailed off. It's unknown where he and his second Atlantic expedition ended up, with theories abound. Rather than debate that, what if the Mansa established a sea route...

What if Mansa Musa and Mali had more accumulated wealth than it in reality did, and it was actually worth more than a trillion modern-day dollars, and Mansa Musa was the first Trillionaire in history. I haven't seen many Trillionare timelines, so I wanted to know what this would do. Would his...

This is also a sort of plausibility check as well. The challenge and what if scenario here revolves around the very obscenely wealth Mansa Musa I of the Mali Empire ould have managed to, through expeditions, find and discover South America and perhaps even established settlements or trading...

If the Mali Empire remained rich and powerful for a couple of centuries longer, could they have developed indigenous gunpowder manufacture and had arquebusiers?
