  5. Unity in Diversity: Indonesian Confederation
    Threadmarks: 1. Start of a Revolution

    So, I've been thinking about this WI for a while and I think it would be very interesting. The Indonesian Kingdoms would rebel from the Dutch/French during the Napoleonic wars and go on to form a confederation. Though I am new to this forum, I will give it a try. This might be unrealistic. But...

    The French Revolution of 1871

    The year is 1871. The harsh rule of Napoleon III in this timeline has tarnished his image in France. Many people sought a return the the old republic, whilst others took a more radical view.

    Exactly as it says on the tin. I recognize it takes many butterflies to do so, but I've more or less given a 40+ year interval in which the Symbionese Liberation Army (tiny but infamous for capturing Patty Hearst in 1973 and brainwashing her into robbing banks) can get powerful enough to launch...

    Jose de San Martin, King of La Plata.

    The title says it all. I know it is borderline ASB at best, but I want to know how any of you think this could be possible (if it is possible)?
