I’m bummed there was a Jewish Genocide. I was hoping the CWR would keep its violence confined to uniting the world and eating the rich.
Besides the SCOTUS composition wikibox, could we have a list of the Chief Justices through the 20th century to our day, and the major, landmark cases examined by their court and the impact of them?
Why Christian and not Canute? It's a fynastic name in Dennmark.
Because Danish kings have already centuries used names Christian and Frederick. They hardly were going change that habit.
Yes, for the first borns; But Canute would have been in line with tradition to.
Andaman Islands dispute
… At the Delhi Conference, it was accepted that the Andaman Islands, Nicobar Islands, Coco Islands along with Preparis Island would be kept under British control as the Andaman Islands Dependency. The official reason was that the new Indian State, along with Dravida Nadu, Burma and Karenistan, didn’t had the naval capacity to keep control of the archipelago ; the true reason was that the United Kingdom would retain control of a strategic location, forming the boundary between the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea, allowing them to rapidly intervene in the region, particularly in the wake of Japanese expansionism.
Needless to say, India (soon-to-become Bharatavarsha), Dravida Nadu, Karenistan (soon-to-become Kawthoolei) and moreover Burma, particularly under the Aung San regime, would claim control of the archipelago. For the Japanese-led Co-Prosperity Sphere, the British holdout in the Andaman Islands would remain a persistent matter. Aung San, even after he broke with the Japanese, would do continuous claims over the Andaman Islands, forming integrant part of his “Greater Burma” irrendentist plans, even pushing it through the World Council, to no avail.
During the South Asian War (1964-1967), as the Japanese occupied northern Burma, the Japanese High Seas Fleet would meet the British naval expeditionary force in the Andaman Islands, in an attempt to secure passage to the Andaman Sea and Western Indonesia ; the Battle of the Andaman Islands raged from May, 12 to May, 17 1966, and resulted in a British victory ; the battle is noticeable for having seen the sinking of aircraft carrier Susanoo, the biggest of the Imperial Japanese Navy at the time. After the end of the South Asian War, the United Kingdom reinforced its garrison at the Andaman Islands, increasing it to a 2,500, until subsequent budget cuts impacted the Navy at the turn of the century.
The end of the Co-Prosperity Sphere, the rise of China as the new Asian hegemon and the end of the Aung San regime did nothing to stop Burmese claims to the Andaman Islands, its reclaimation being one of the goals of the different administrations of the Burmese Confederation ; the position on the continuing British presence constitute “an anachronic perpetuation of colonial practices” at worst, according to Burma and China, or “an issue referring to the right of peoples to self-determination” at best, according to the World Council and even the Labour Party in the United Kingdom. The diminshed military presence of Britain in the archipelago, along with the precedent of the Argentine takeover of the Falklands back in 1976, tended to accrediate Burmese nationalist claims. On 15 November 2018, a party of fifteen armed Burmese nationalists in rigibd inflatable boats landed in Northern Andaman Islands in order to try a military takeover of the archipelago ; they were all arrested by the Royal Marines two days later but the incident caused an international uproar.
On 1 February 2021, as most of the garrison of the Andaman Islands had been redeployed to the Home Islands to help enforce order due to the Wuchang Pneumonia lockdown, the Burmese military launched an amphibious invasion of the British Overseas Territory, with a 2000-men force, with full approval of the government ; all British military personnel surrendered and Port Blair, capital to the Territory, was seized by the Burmese in 14 hours. Burmese President Zin Mar Aung proclaimed the annexation of the Andaman Islands the following days, changing the name of Port Blair to Port Aung San.
The situation of the Andaman Islands could become a hot issue in the following days, as back in London, most of the cabinet and opposition has criticized Prime Minister Rushanara Ali for failing to property respond to the invasion, instead choosing to have the takeover adressed by the World Council. Germany, Russia and Italy already announced that they would remain neutral on the matter, while the United States, China and Japan hailed the takeover as “a successful ending to colonial legacy”...

Not only did the Armenian Genocide didn't happen (leading the Ottoman Armenian population to increase in the same way that the Turkish population IOTL), but Armenia put in place a law of return similar to OTL Israel, and has benefitted from large swarms of Turkish and Kurdish refugees during the wars that affected Anatolia and the Caucasus ITTL. Being an emerging regional power, the country has also a large Chinese community.
Thank you very much for the good comment ! Better ? Who knows... You've got an irrendetist Iran, fighting blows with a huge Arab Caliphate ; minorities such as the Lebanese Christians had to wait until 2020 to get an independent state. And I didn't mention the Zionists either.It's surely better than OTL, but it's not perfect.
Field Marshal Soleimani had no association with the clerics ITTL, but he still joined the military, rising from the ranks and becoming a war hero during the Reunification War of the 90s and heading the Iranian military during the early 2010s. A Draft movement for the 2016 presidential election allowed him to run as an independent candidate on a militarist, expansionist agenda, defeating incumbent Mir Hossein Mousavi. So far, he has upheld his agenda, with relaunching the arms race, launching an Iranian space program and integrating Afghanistan, even if he started a war with the Hashemites over the long issue of Mesopotamia, a war that was stopped by the Wuchang Pneumonia.
We're the Liberation Front of Andorra ! Wankers.
Thank you !
I would not say genocide about Doriot, more of widespread pogroms against the French and German Jews. In true horseshoe fashion, Marxism-Doriotism became quite antisemitic, owing to the long held grudge against the "200 Families"... Here focusing of the Rothschilds and others. But as Nazism never existed here, antisemitism is much more widespread as of 2021.
Not only did Baghdad had a sizeable population already in the Ottoman Empire, but the fertility of the Golden Crescent, investments conducted during the Hashemite Caliphate, the touristic value of Baghdad, and the proximity, trade and population movement from Kurdistan, Mesopotamia, Iran and, until the 1990s, Russia, allowed Baghdad to blossom and to become the eastern pendent to Damascus.
That is duly noted.
Well, Kings of Denmark have been named Christian since the XVth Century, including in Danish, and the POD for this timeline only dates back to 1914, and there has been no Neo-Pagan mass convertion in Denmark, so I don't see how it would have been possible.
I don't know if butterflies can do much against disease...
Oh dear !I hope this is a misspelling
Indo-Fijian conflict
During the late XIXth Century, in order to give settlers and planters in Fiji a source of labor, thousands of Indians went to the Fiji Islands under the indenture system and chose to stay in the archipelago, resulting in the Fijians of Indian descent constituting a majority of the islands’ population as of the 1950s. If tensions were already high with ethnic Fijians, it was all the more heightened by the Greater Game between Great Britain and Japan and by the independence of their homeland, India.
Even if administrating Fiji became more of a burden for Great Britain, the strategic value of maintaining a presence in the Pacific was tantamount ; due to the bias against Bose’s pirist agenda, the British relied more on the ethnic Fijians for the day-to-day administration, increasing the rift between them and the Indo-Fijians. As Bose put in place his Bharatavarsha policies and implemented his laws of return for ethnic Indians, Bharatavarsha along with Japan began to support an Indo-Fijian independentist movement ; if the guerilla never had the same scope that in New Zealand and New Caledonia, it proved very active, resulting in the assassination of prominent Indo Fijian politician Kamisese Mara in 1977 and a hostage crisis in 1982, that resulted in an agreement about independence and an guarantee of equality inscribed in the Constitution, resulting in the guerilla giving up arms. To placate the most radical elements, in 1987, a law offering subsidies for the Indo-Fijians that wished to return to their homeland was adopted, but it had only a limited impact, due to the chronic instability of Bharatavarsha during these years resulting in the program’s abolition in 1992.
When Fiji became independent in 1990, as part of the Commonwealth, the ethnic Fijians and the Indo-Fijians were two irreconcilable communities, full of hatred against each other. Prime Minister Epeli Ganilau had to deal with an uneasy coalition, resulting in race riots during the 1995 and 1996 general elections, convincing the Australian government to send a peacekeeping force in Fiji. But tensions came to a high when ethnic Fijian businessman George Speight, an ultranationalist, led a military coup in 2000. The Speight regime, with support from the Fijian paramilitaries, enforced segregation against Indians, forbidding them to hold certain jobs or to attend their cults, to which the international community failed to respond.
On 4 May 2005, the Speight government ordered a full-scale ethnic cleansing of the Indo-Fijian community : the small Australian peacekeeping force was slaughetered in a surprise assault by the Fijian military, which then concentrated its efforts against the Indo-Fijian community, along with ethnic Fijian paramilitary groups ; the amounts of killings, rapes and looting against Indo-Fijians was overwhelming, wiping out half of the community ; Australia finally got the approval from the World Council to send an intervention force that managed to overthrow Speight by August, but the damage had been already done. The 2005 Fijian massacres were labeled as a genocide in 2014 by the Fijian government along with Australia, a denomination that is not shared by the international community.
Fiji was under Australian military administration for a year, before a new Constitution was adopted in 2006, guaranteeing freedom of cult and forbidding discrimination based on race. A new military coup from Fijian ultranationalists was avoided in 2009 and the resent against British administration, that had failed to tackle the issue, resulted much in the instauration of the Fijian Republic in 2019. Nowadays, the rift remains, but the two communities don’t communicate much.

This is what I love. So great, so great.
Still alive and well... But a member state of the German Empire. If Austria joined, why wouldn't the Principality ?
I completely forgot about it, it's all ready, I just got advanced on my current plans
