This belongs in pre-1900 because of the POD.
I am about to embark on a TL about Madagascar, after having done a large amount of research. I know what is going to happen in Madagascar and southern Africa quite clearly up until 1914 or so, and have a reasonable idea of the area afterwards. The POD is 1855, but very minor and restricted wholly to Malagasy developments until the 1870s, no alternate developments in Europe until 1890.
But I don't know what to do with the World Wars. I think I'm going to keep WWI as it was in OTL, more or less, with the addition of Madagascar on the Entente, but I don't know if WWII will be butterflied away.
I don't want to give away too much, but these are the most significant butterfly-causing events:
-Independent Madagascar, friendly to British
-Portugal undergoes civil war/revolution in 1890 due to Pink map controversy
-Madagascar seizes Mozambique after Portuguese authority collapses, divides it into client states and provinces
-Independent Hawaii, friendly to USA
Would this butterfly away even WWI? Would it be too unrealistic to have Mussolini in Italy/Hitler in Germany and a roughly similar WWII? If so, does anyone have any suggestions for alternative developments in Europe during this period?
