Based on this thread. With the right men living longer (Count Cavour and Nino Bixio I think) and with a subtle change in colonial policy, could an Italian Aceh or an Aceh Protectorate under Italy be possible with a POD in the 1860s?

Also, what would be the Dutch and the British reactions to this? I can the the Dutch getting angry and the British enforcing colonial rule faster over the Malay States, but other than that I have no idea.
