| * //**[[The No Spanish Civil War Timeline]]**// by [[offtopic:Dr. Strangelove]] - Andorra [[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showpost.php?p=1849198&postcount=227|is invaded by Germany]] on the 18th of February 1941, starting with a paratrooper attack on the capital of Andorra la Vella. The Germans are victorious, but volunteer reservists of the recently created Andorran Defence Force put up quite a fight before they're forced to capitulate. Eventually, the German occupation ends after 2 years, being driven out by Spanish forces. Andorra becomes the Western European country with the largest percentage of deaths during WWII and ends up sending a small contingent of determined soldiers under Spanish command to the liberation of France. Andorra's wartime struggle is commemorated 50 years later in the New York Times. | * //**[[The No Spanish Civil War Timeline]]**// by [[offtopic:Dr. Strangelove]] - Andorra [[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showpost.php?p=1849198&postcount=227|is invaded by Germany]] on the 18th of February 1941, starting with a paratrooper attack on the capital of Andorra la Vella.

| * //**[[A Tall Glass of Piemonade]]**// by [[offtopic:Turquoise Blue]] - Andorra is briefly mentioned in this TL as the source of the new ruling French dynasty of kings. In the words of the author : "//And the// (French) //Monarchy is not from Bourbon or Bonaparte, but Bonabon (son of a Bonaparte duke of Andorra and a daughter of the former Bourbon king).//" | |
| * //**[[Decades of Darkness]]**// by [[offtopic:Jared]] - After the Third Congress of Vienna (1885-1886), Aragon gained the Balearic Islands and Andorra from France. The only other significance the (now former) country plays in the TL is the renewal and extension of the Anglo-French alliance into the Andorra Pact, signed in January 1927 between Britain, France and Aragon. The Andorra Pact becomes an explicitly defensive alliance of these three countries. In November 1927, the previous Andorra Pact was expanded to form the Bouclier [shield], a mutual defensive pact between Britain, France, Italy, Aragon and Morocco. | * //**[[Decades of Darkness]]**// by [[offtopic:Jared]] - After the Third Congress of Vienna (1885-1886), Aragon gained the Balearic Islands and Andorra from France.

| * //**[[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=167075|Reverse Sealion]]**// TL by Emmett McFly55 - At the start of September 1940, conscription is formally introduced in Andorra for all young men above 21. In August 1941, Andorra is issued an ultimatum by the Spanish government, ordering the little state to accept ‘protection’ from them. With the world distracted in the Balkans, the principality has no choice but to oblige. In July 1942, Spanish government officials give Andorra an ultimatum (after agreement about this issue is reached at the Grand Conference): Andorra shall ask for incorporation into Spain as an autonomous region, or be annexed without any autonomy, and have its leaders deported. The Andorrans choose for the former, and unsurprisingly, their request was granted the following month... | * //**[[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=167075|Reverse Sealion]]**// TL by Emmett McFly55 - At the start of September 1940, conscription is formally introduced in Andorra for all young men above 21.
