story of every dictatorship right here.Thing is the Americans don't need to be mad. Just one American, Jackson. And he seems to be losing it already with his policies.
Did similar term exist in Mexico OTL?eh the wild west is already kinda the wild north ittl in mexico.
Did someone call?Excellent update and wikibox, but...
I should point out here: modern Sarawak at least is not predominantly Muslim. It's actually known for being the only part of Malaysia where Christianity is the majority religion. Now, while Christianity won't have spread at this point in time, conversions seem to have predominantly been among the animist population, so one could infer that the majority of Sarawakians are animists right now.
Granted, @Al-numbers and @NickBana would be the better people to ask about this, but I thought I should raise that.
Oh boy - I know what your definition of "fun" is...Actually by the time we get to 1939 ittl, i have something planned for 1939 regarding the Formosa issue. And its going to be fun!
how so?india is going along a very different path ittl reducing the need for indian immigration to other British colonies ittl.
maybe it does not get deindustrialisedhow so?
how so?
kinda yes i think.Did similar term exist in Mexico OTL?
wow that's a lot of information, thanks! Will take them into account when writing on the White Rajahs.Did someone call?
Yes, despite popular misconceptions (and the pro Malay-Muslim policies of the modern Malaysian government), Sarawak was never majority Muslim for the greater part of their history, and it still isn't today! The notion of Islamic rule stems from the coastal Malay and Islamized Dayak communities of the river mouths, of which they owe their allegiances to local leaders and notables, whom then bow to the sultan in Brunei. But these communities are often quite small, and much of historical Sarawak was definitely animist to the core. The interior tribal wars, migrations, and politics of the indigenous Dayaks were very much left alone by the coastal towns and Bandar Brunei - except when they threatened riverine / maritime trade and safety, in which case all bets are off.
I should also point out the Christianity arrived with the Brookes because of quid pro quo between them and the missionaries. The Brookes needed early administrators and people whom could act as intermediaries between themselves and the Dayaks, and missionaries were some of the only people adventurous enough to brave the wilds of Borneo to teach locals. It also helped that common thinking bent towards the 'civilizing hand' of Christianity, providing an extra push for prioritizing conversions.
With that said, the Brookes didn't prioritize too much with the cross as they always thought of themselves as the protectors of the Malays and Dayaks, so they often selectively chose where missionaries could go and which places for them to build schools - helps to not step too much on local customs.
Addendum: if you're following geographical history in regards to Brooke rule, Sarawak originally started out as this big.
The reason why it grew to encompass modern-day size is because of the endless punitive campaigns waged by the Brookes against the interior Dayaks over 40 years, and the subsequent capitulation agreements signed between them and Bandar Brunei. If the sultan actually presented James Brooke with everything from Kuching to Miri... I think he might have been forced to do so.
indeed you do......Oh boy - I know what your definition of "fun" is...
how so?

It would actually be a massive spoiler to divulge. It will come in the future.With all the butterflies in motion it seems likely India will have a different fate. Hmm, are we even sre the modern india will be forge by British dominion ITTL? Nepal amd Brunei are already clear from Britain's reach for the forseeable future, others might follow and that will change the dynamic even with those who still end up under the Raj or its equivalent.
fictional.Question: since we are moving farther away from POD, are you gonna use fictional character or real life person who born after 1812?
The mapuche do have an interesting future ahead of themselves.Go Mapuche!! But probably this is best they can do and everything will go down hill from now. Still..... it will be nice to see some sort of Mapuche state exist even if it just end up as a protectorate of Argentina or somekind of dual kingdom between Argentina & Mapuche (at least there are some recognition for them).
Indeed it will ignite tensions in Westminster.China is going to start a new round of Anglo-French rivalry which was almost put to bed IOTL. An alt-Crimean War will look very different.
