hey, all. i thought it would be interesting to explore some possibilities as to potential colonial powers in the 19th century (and perhaps the 20th, too) besides the different European powers or the United States. a number of different countries established colonial empires of some capacity IOTL, but what if these countries and/or others retained their possessions through to the decolonization period?
one possibility that i've done limited research into is Oman, which had holdings in eastern Africa before the British and Germans arrived there. another one i've explored to an extent is Chile, with it possibly having holdings in Polynesia
