I'm interested in what happens to southern Africa now that Mandela's dead. The French will probably be unable to maintain as much influence as they do IOTL in West Africa.Good luck to the French - not.
It won't end well, that's for certain.I'm interested in what happens to southern Africa now that Mandela's dead. The French will probably be unable to maintain as much influence as they do IOTL in West Africa.
Keep in mind that Haiti now has to deal with OTL's WIF's problems and how that might impact both Haiti and the Caribbean as a whole. Nonetheless, TTL's Haiti will be better off.Fascinating well it good to see Haiti is a much better place than otl and with a united Caribbean it will be much richer than otl
They maintain fairly good relations but I will eventually do a chapter on East Asia after WWII and up until the last chapter. It’s a bit difficult to find what relations were like between OTL’s Ethiopia and Thailand but I’d imagine the similar courses of history both pursued would make for some good common ground to begin with.What are ATL Ethiopia's relations like with Thailand?
There's definitely an increasing feeling of Pan-Africanist sentiment when faced against the Arabs but nothing that would warrant an African state.Almost wish we can form a true African Union sooner or later.
I suppose so, at least not yet.There's definitely an increasing feeling of Pan-Africanist sentiment when faced against the Arabs but nothing that would warrant an African state.
I feel like this African Union you have in mind needs a POD far before 1900, particularly if you want it to be dominated by Ethiopia.I suppose so, at least not yet.
Something Africa really needs right now. By the way, any plans of increasing the number and importance of Ethiopian Jews?I feel like this African Union you have in mind needs a POD far before 1900, particularly if you want it to be dominated by Ethiopia.
Right now in my TL, there’s a feeling of anti-Arab animosity and an extremely loose definition of an African identity as being concentrated south of the Maghreb as I believe someone pointed out earlier but again, it’s not enough to warrant an African Empire with Ethiopian hegemony. It’s also worth noting that the emergence of a Liberian-led Monrovia Bloc and Ethiopian-led East African Community is facilitating regional cooperation and defense.
I don't think that Pan-Africanism would really solve Africa's problems but this isn't the place to talk about that. On the Beta Israel, it's to the contrary - their sizable presence in Israel and state-supported emigration to the aforementioned nation would probably see a gradual decline of Ethiopia's Jews by the 1970s to perhaps even lower than their current numbers in OTL's Ethiopia, roughly 4,000.Something Africa really needs right now. By the way, any plans of increasing the number and importance of Ethiopian Jews?
