Most Interesting Alt. Colonies?
- Thread starter AltoRegnant
- Start date
Curious, aside from Hawaii and OTL Russian colonization of the Americas were there any are territories with scope to become potential Russian colonies?
More interested in what relations would be like between a White émigré ruled Sagallo (aka Djibouti) with nearby Italian Eritrea and British Somaliland.
On a side note, I kind of would like to see a Dutch Connecticut which I think I've already started or plan on doing if not.
Possible, if a bit too straightforward compared to Djibouti and Hawaii
In a similar vein, had Japan been split into the occupation zones considered at one point for postwar planning, it would be interesting to have the Nationalist Chinese ruling (however briefly?) Taiwan AND Shikoku....
Given how close they are in the poll, I want to see which is more interesting to you guys through some interaction. In quotes
Bold this for French Mexico
Italicize this for English Mexico
Underline this for a split territory and suggest how you think it could happen
Technically French mexico won the poll, but with a 2% difference i feel something like this could be useful

Just occurred that a White émigré ruled Sagallo (aka Djibouti) controlled by the likes of Baron Ungern (if he managed to elude capture) could have easily evolved into a roughly German-Russian (with a bit of Mongolphilia thrown in) farcical equivalent of Wadiya / OTL Eritrea with the right ingredients, amongst other things just need to get a Romanov pretender or few (perhaps even a surviving yet illegitimate successor) to move to Sagallo with the Mad Baron or someone else (with a sudden itch for establishing a dynasty) being tempted (by the Axis, etc) into performing Regicide (or wedding a female if illegitimate successor) and declaring themselves to be rulers of the country.

I really see Spain giving up on Luzon on the Gomburza revolt and giving it to Britain in exchange for securing North Borneo since Sulu is its vassal.
Avoid the fall of New Amsterdam in 1664. Have them and their Iroquois allies back King Phillips War, destroying New England. Have the Dutch pick up the pieces across from Long Island in Connecticut.
In OTL, James Brooke, Rajah of Sarawak, could stimulate british inmigration to their domains. We could see a British South Borneo.
Speaking of Borneo, quite like the idea of earlier Chinese immigration/colonization of (most if not all of) Borneo to create an ATL surviving Lanfang Republic that also manages to gain Singapore as well as colonize Johor.
In such a scenario could James Brooke have instead taken Sulawesi or the Maluku Islands?

I got nothing for the HRE, but Danish India... the idea is for France to still work from the south, and if Denmark can break into Bengal I could see them being a mainstay in south Asia
