i have made a timeline where ancient egypt survives, with a PoD in a diffrent result in the batlle of actium. now a few notes here:
1.) I am aware that there is a timeline where ancient egypt survives, and i am trying to read throuh it somehow...
2.) The PoD might be the batlle of actium, but i had to do some other changes later to avoid a slightly later roman conquest or a muslim conquest.
3.) this is not finished yet.
so here we go:
Octavian looses the batlle of actium and soon enhauf marc anthony becomes ceaser. he has a long and prosperous reign, and cleopatra also keeps ruling egypt for some time. both have a nice succesion. rome continues in a similar fasion to OTL, but start fearing that egypt might block the food source of the empire. well aware of this, egypt invades the roman empire in the second century during a civil war, and even after it ends they keep controll of palestine. eventually, like in OTL, rome accepts christianity. earlier, egypt accepts the cult of isis as there official religion, demoting other gods to an equivilent of angels in christianity. later rome splits in three, the eastern roman empire, with the greek part of the empire, the central roman empire in italy, OTL croatia and the province of africa, while the western roman empire keeps gaul and hispania. the germanic invasion in OTL happen similarly in this TL. meanwhile, as the cult of isis spreads in the vandal kingdom, it is eventually split in half by this. the eastern half is later assimilated into egypt while the west becomes vandaland.
Islam is not butterflied in this TL, and they do take the sasanid state and from the roman empire, syria, aswell as parts of anatolia. they do attack egypt and take OTL israel and sinai, but a batlle in alexandria pull sthem back. the boundry between islam and egypt will stay in sinai until the 20th century. through the midlle ages, egypt colonizes parts of east africa and india several times, loosing them and regaining them as the state stabilizes and destabilizes. during the colonial period of europe, egypt colonizes east africa and india again.
as the industrial revolution happens, the egyptian concept of divine kinship starts disapearing. this results in a violent revolution in egypt, a litlle bit after the french one. during this the europeans take the egyptian colony in india while the colonies in east africa become independent. however, after it the egyptian republic takes that back, expanding inland during the scramble for africa.during it, gotha, what became of the visigoth state in iberia, goes into direct conflict with egypt over the OTL lake of victoria, but egypt win. several french and english attempts to grab egypt fail.
when a conflict similar to WWI starts in 1913, egypt joins the entente as the "ottoman" empire joins the central powers. the entente wins, and egypts annexes OTL israel. eventually it forces the zionist setelers to leave, which results in them going into british syria and creating a militia. as egypt and britain have worsening tentions over the border, especially after a facist party takes power in memphis, the british accept this. when nazi germany invades poland, starting ww2, egypt also joins the axis. due to the egyptian help, aswell as pearl harbour not happening, the axis win WW2 after churchil is murdered. realizing the threat, the US starts a war against germany and japan. however, the axis win this after the egyptians drop nuclear bombs on new york and san francisko. the US is divided between germany and japan in 1952.
oh, and because africa is the name of a part of egypt, the whole continent is called "ghana".
