As with Anguilla, have more countries rebel in favour of being ruled by a European country.

You had the Algerian revolt and the Rodesian revolt if that count.
Why is AH so goddamn pro-colonial anyways? Is there any "WW2 avoided" TL here with proper decolonisation?
"Proper decolonisation" is probably considred an oxymoron, like a successfull S...n.
Wishful thinking. Why is AH so goddamn pro-colonial anyways? Is there any "WW2 avoided" TL here with proper decolonisation?
Meh, with proper I meant that most of the colonial empires get dismantled, not the indpeendant states willk be prospering![]()
Oh sure you could get it on some smaller islands, especially teh Carribean ones. But that would make little change. The ones where it would make a change, the large teerritorial colonies in Africa and Asia - not a chance. Wishful thinking. Why is AH so goddamn pro-colonial anyways?

Because WWII hurried the decolonisation along, through it would no doubt have happend anyway, just at a later point in time. And I don't that as bad, it would have given some colony adminstrations a oppotunity to get proper control over the entire country, and likely have resulted in more stable post-colonial states. Of course some was a lost cause anyway like DR Congo.

Anyway, I think more colonial possesions would have to be kept longer. Some of the newly independent countries where horror stories that would scare the locals enough to want to keep their masters. And then there is the possibility to get subsidised from the mother country.
It strikes me that a Hong Kong revolt should be interesting.
The Wolrd Wars brought the cataclysmic societal change necessary to achieve it, though. I mean, chances are it'd have happened by now anyway, but even so, the effect of the Wars on the colonies was massive, and should not be underestimated.Eh. The fall of empires designed for the profit of alien states that had little policy of internal development seems destined to failure.
(Honestly, the Japanese had more impressive economic performance in Manchukuo than the British had anywhere outside of the settler states).
