The SEcond Mercian Incursion.!

1543 saw the final war for control of the British Isles between the Kingdom of Mercia & Wessex and the Kingdom of Scotland begin. It was the second major war between the two powers that had seen the Mercians lose the region of Northumbria to the Scots. However this time the inclusion of more advanced gunpowder weaponry by the Mercians saw the Scots beaten back into the highlands and then invaded by the Mercians. The Scots were finally beaten in 1564 and fully subjugated in the 1570s.

The Anglo-Nihonese War aka The War for the World

After the Anglo-Nihonese Alliance was renewed in 1923, the United States of America declared war against the two empires, citing imperialism. Britain and Japan promptly siezed the Philippines and the US Pacific Islands, and instituted a blockade of the US. The US countered by invading Canada.

Though weakened by the Great War, the rest of the world (except for Turkey and the Soviet Union) joined the US. However, just as the Anglo-Nihonese forces were unable to do anything on land, the Global Entente was not able to do anything at sea. After a 10-year stalemate, the Treaty of Konya was signed. Canada and Newfoundland was transferred to the US, Belize to Mexico and Guatemala, and Guyana to Venezuela, while the Philippines and the Pacific Islands were divided between Britain and Japan.

Thank you very much for that I thought it was a fun idea.

First moves in the civil war that put the Qajar dynasty onto the Persian throne.

Skirmish at Water Knee

I thought this should be revived.

Water Knee, a small town a few miles south of Minneapolis, on the Mississippi River, there sits a town called Water Knee, on the location of OTL Frontenac State Park. During the collapse of the US in the 1950s, Minnesota State National Guardsmen were stationed there, watching across the River for refugees, fleeing the war further east. At one point, it was beleived that refugees were coming across, and the Minnesotans were forced to open fire. It turned out they were Wisconisinite forces looking for food, and a skirmish broke out. After a 15-minute firefight, the Wisconsinites withdrew, but this eventually spiraled into the Minnesota-Wisconsin War.
Anglo-Portuguese War

 

[Justinianus Constansious]

Anglo-Portuguese War

The first in the Wars of Portuguese Succession, it lasted between 1581 and 1583. It started when Austrian forces entered Lisbon on July 6th, 1581, in order to quell dissent over the accession of Philip I Hapsburg, and ultimately fired on a British merchant vessel in the Lisbon harbor. As a result, the English declared war on Portugal and Austria, with the young son of Sebastian I as the English candidate for the throne. Despite Spain and Austria coming to the assistance of Philip, the resulting naval war culminated in the Battle of Biscay in 1582, when the Portuguese Armada was defeated by the cunning use of Fire Ships by Sir Francis Drake, and the Portuguese desire for a return of Sebastian I led to numerous Portuguese forces defecting to the English army. By 1583, the English had installed King John IV on the throne of Portugal and had brought Portugal into the English sphere of influence, leading to the War of the Mary Rose and the Anglo-Spanish War, the remaining Wars of Portuguese succession, resulting in English control over trade in the North Atlantic and renewed interests in European affairs.

War of the French Succession

Internal collapse of the Greater Napoleonic Empire following the death of Bonaparte the First and destruction of his Armees in the retreat across the desert from Xinjang, 1847. His previously trustworthy Uyghur allies had been spurred to Jihad against their Pagan masters, severing their supply lines & avenues of retreat after a secret mission by an Emissary from the Qing dynasty offered to shower their leaders in (Californian) Gold.

The delay in confirming the events and subsequent confusion due to the severing of telegraphic lines allowed power hungry bureaucrats to harness nationalist sentiments amongst the public to plot & vie for control. As the revolutions of 1848 spread, so did splintering of the Empire back into the long dead formations of Prussia, Spain, Great Britain, Russia, the Dutch Republic....

Hyperborea Expedition, a part of the Macedonian North March, also known as Alexander's North Campaign

After surviving an an extended illness in Babylon possibly brought on by an assassination attempt Alexander grew less fond of the city and began campaigning again. Moving north from Greece his army swept up the bank of the Black sea supported by his navy. He founded several cities including the famous city of Alexandria that sits over the Bosporus Strait and the lesser Crimean city also called Alexandria. Feeling that he had traveled the whole world he ordered expeditions to go forth from the edges of his empire to find new lands for him to conquer. The Hyperborea Expedition was the most successful of these traveling north and eventually reaching the Baltic sea where they encountered trading vessels from as far away as Phoenician settlements in Spain. Word was returned to the Empire although Alexander had already died some months earlier of poison. A small Greek settlement was founded along the Baltic although it disappeared within a few decades, possibly blending into the local population.
