What other unifications could've happened?

As an addendum to above, if the Norse successfully transplanted to the British Isles, a pan-Norse movement comprising not just Scandinavia but also the Isles?

Also, pan-Normanism somehow?
 
There was that Hungarian Prince that was made the Roman (Byzantine) heir in the late 1100s, I think. Given some unfortunate deaths on both sides you could end up with a Byzantine-Hungarian Union. It's likely it would eventually (or not so eventually) break, but it'd be interesting if they eventually unified into a Balkan Empire of sorts.

Edit: Especially if the Anatolian frontier got rolled back again and you had a Greco-Hungarian state staring down a Turkish state across the Bosporus.
 
In 1870 Prussia formed the unified German state, but what other states could've happened?

Italy also unified, without a prior Italian identity but was maintained from then to even now.

So, what other unifications could've occurred?
Bretangne and Scotland.

Well, it's possible that there could have been a Russian-Lithuanian Commonwealth instead of a Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

Also, you could have tried having an Anglosphere Union of the UK, Canada, the US, Australia, New Zealand, and maybe Ireland as well.
 
Also, before I forget, you could've also unified Malaysia, Indonesia, and perhaps Brunei as well. Heck, the Philippines could've also joined if religion wasn't an issue.
 
I've always wondered how different the Middle East would be if there was a more successful Arab unification; for example, if all the Arabic-speaking lands in Western Asia were unified into a single kingdom after the fall of the Ottoman Empire, but without any land-grabbing interference by the British and French empires. The whole region would probably be (relatively) more stable compared to what we have in OTL.

I also wonder how different things would be if all (or at least most) of the British colonies in South Asia gained independence as a united federation; including OTL India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, etc. This region has seen quite a lot of ethno-religious and political conflict; would things be much better or much worse if all these lands were still under one flag?

I'm also rather curious if the region of the Malay Archipelago (Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, etc.) could have somehow gained independence as a unified nation. I guess it would require having the region controlled by one colonial empire instead of multiple.

Carpathian-greek unification sounds interesting on every scenario. Everything from dacians, macedonians, romans, goth, bizantines, slavs, turkish, serb, greek or wathever ATL will want makes a hard player of the Great Game.

Its Yugoslavia on stéroïds.
