Hello y'all!
So I fell up on William Walker's bio and the world of filibusters. I had actually been toying with the idea for a while but I'm glad to see it might actually have happened.
Here it goes: what are the odds of private French citizens carving lasting/semi-lasting (+5 years) in what would be the French sphere of influence?
I can see that happening in the Tonkin protectorate before it gets annexed in 1886. Private citizens carving pieces for themselves with money or guns in the Northwestern borders between Siam/China/Tonkin where there is coal and hevea/opium can be planted easily. Plus they'd be on the red River flow.
