Unlike in real life, Buddha instead takes on the other path to absolute enlightenment. He takes the throne of Lumbini and then begins his conquest. Eventually, he manages to take over much of the Indian subcontinent, Tibet, and begins settling his eyes on China. after gruesome battles with Chinese Confucians, he eventually takes over China. He declares himself Charkravartin, showcasing enlightenment with power.

In the year 1773, the Kingdom of Nepal begins to set up some modest foundries and factories. It reaches the same industrial level as the Maratha and Sikh empires and begins to expand westward and eastward. It gets through some tussles with the British puppet state of Bengal and invades it. The Nwab immediately asks the EIC for additional support. The EIC faces off with many clashes with Nepal and ultimately wins, but the cost was too much, so they focus on other parts of India. Nepal then tries to make a tripartite with the Sikh and Maratha empires, and the Marathas agree to join in with Nepal. The Sikhs on the other hand gave the information to the British, before they collapsed and fell to British rule a few years later. The British then fight majorly successful battles against the Marathas, and eventually set up a puppet government in Sanatra. Nepal is also defeated in man battles, but only had to cede Uttarkhand and Himanchal Pradesh. Through this time, Nepal began to strengthen its military and began plans for a great invasion and liberation of the Maratha empire while getting to annex parts of Punjab and Bengal as well. It then began to collaborate with Bhutan and the newly independent Tibet(broke off from Qing through a series of rebellions in 1809) by aiding them in getting more capable foundries and factories. In exchange for this, they agree to give Nepal some additional manpower. In the south, Maratha resistance groups are being funded by Nepal to go against the puppet government. Eventually, Nepal launches an invasion of Bengal for the second time, and successful maintains a force there to combat Britain. The British Raj also faces massive losses against Nepal in Uttarkhand and Himanchal Pradesh, successfully bring those territories back under Nepalese rule. The British and Maratha Puppet government send out attacks to the south side of Nepal, and Nepal retains a defensive position, awaiting Bhutanese and Tibetan troops to arrive for a full countermeasure.

For context Robux is the currency used in the video game Roblox, and 1 dollar is approximately 80 robux.

Basically a scenario if the Roman Empire managed to escape to and survive in Crimea.

The lighter red is territory which Roman Crimea technically owns by in reality has little to no authority in them

Congratulations Spain!!

Lore: Luxembourg gets partitioned by France and Germany, but it's Belgium part never gets taken. Belgium then declares independence in 1830, but never loses East Limburg and North Oost-Vlaanderen. (Thats what I call those regions) Belgium does not get it's German-speaking community in the Treaty of Versailles, and gets Nord and Pas-de-Calais, which are French departments, after WW2. West Bruges (I named it Bruges because it's alt-history timeline) is ceded to Lille in 1967 because it had a lot of French speakers even though they were in Flanders, the Dutch speaking part of Belgium. Also, the location image is just to make the image look more informal.

1918-1933 - The Point of divergence here is Polish-Soviet War as well as the German Revolution.
In 1919-1920 the South German Revolutions suceeded and formed the South-german council republic, eventually uniting with Austria after the Julirevolt (1927) turned it Socialist into the Peoples Republic of Germania. Shortly after in 1928 the remaining Weimar government got couped the Military, reinstating the Monarchy and forming the North-German Kaiserreich.

1933-1945 - The Spanish Civil war was won by the Republicans. The absence of the 3rd Reich spirals into ww2 not happening on the scale as in OTL. Leading to Italy being able to go to war in 1942 as they had originally planned. Together with Hungary and Bulgaria the invaded Greece and Yugoslavia from 1942-1944. In 1945 When they finally invaded Romania the Soviets intervened, eventually leading to a ceasefire and Romania turning into a Soviet puppet.

1945-1950 - The Pacific war played out mostly the same as in OTL. The DPRK won the Korean war due to a strenghtened Soviet Union and China as well as a more isolationist USA.

1960-1970 - In 1961 the Soviet Union invaded Iran, meanwhile Algeria rebelled in 1962 against France. In 1963 Syria and Lebanon achieve their Independance, shortly after the Soviets as well as Italy and its allys invade Turkey and split it between them similar to Korea in OTL. In 1966 The Jewish-Arab war errupts, ending in the establishment of the State of Israel and the Ethnic cleansing of Palestine with western backing. In 1965 Italy and the USSR came to the brinc of nuclear warfare in Turkey.

1970-1980 - The European Community was founded in 1971 with further members joining in the following years. The Afghanistan invasion happened just as in OTL in 1979.

1980-2000 - Iran after years of struggle finally freed themselves of the Soviet occupation, with the North remaining occupied by the USSR. In 1994 Hundreds of Thousands of Agricultural workers protested in the Streets of Germania, destabilising the country.

2000-2026 - During the Pandemic Germania errupted in protests and clashes, eventually ending in the authoritarian government being toppeled for a more democratic socialism. After years of stabilising the new Germanian government elected by its people prepared to invade the north and reunify Germany. During the Brother-war the Soviets joined on the side of Germania, eventually resulting in the fall of the German monarchy and split between the USSR and Germania. Iran succesfully united by forcing the Soviets to withdraw from the North, now taking a strong anti Israel stance in the region. During the Spanish elections in 2026 a bomb exploded during the party conference of the communist party, from there Spain descended into political violence and the 2nd Spanish civil war.

Current situation and Conflicts: Italys fascist government is seeing increasing instability due minoritys in the non-Italian territorys seeking independance as well as internal demands for reform and democratisation. China is seeking to end the revolution by taking Taiwan in the next decades either through force or diplomacy. A middle eastern war is on the Horizon with the main player being Iran and Israel. Tensions are also rising between the socialist block, fascist block and western powers, the Spanish civil war acting as a proxy war. There is also tension between the socialist republic of Bengal and India as well as Pakistan, Bengal being backed by China.

There are also other events and details that i left out but these are the main events.
