AHC: A Italian Asia Colony

I know.


Spain,France,America,Britain,Netherlands..


Even a small country like Portugal,or a country that doesn't truly care about expanding-its colonies like Germany Have a Asian Colony.


Now.

Your challenge,AH.COM,is to make one-region on Asia(NOT the middle east,please.) Is a Italian Colony.

Uh...Portugal was the go-getter with regards to Asia, and Britain, Spain, France and the Dutch all had a vested interested in Asia, as well as having access to the Atlantic which allowed them to sail to the continent. Italy is locked in the Mediterranean and wasn't even a country when most of these nations got colonies there, and I can't see it with anything close to significant holdings there. At best maybe an island or two.

Nino Bixio survive his trip on Aceh and transform the place in an italian colony as planned (well first a protectorate and later a proper colony to be exact)...stay tuned for trouble with the Netherlands.

In a world where Anglo-Italian relationships are somewhat better, London give is ok for the colonization of Guinea by Italy (OTL part aquired by Germany)

North Borneo is aquired by Italy when an austrian noble offer it to the italian goverment.

More info please? This seems quite interesting. Wiki says he was slated to take control of a commercial expedition in Jakarta, not create a colony in Aceh, though he died there.

Any way Italy can get Egypt? Maybe if they form earlier?

Basically an italian 'businessman' after become a close friend/adviser of the Sultan of Aceh tried to pressure both him and the italian goverment for a protectorate of his territory expecially in face of the advances by Netherlands.

Bixio was sent by the italian goverment officially for a commercial expedition but in reality to see the real feasibility and later organize the protectorate.
