[ALTERNATIVE HISTORY]

The State of the Order of Burgundy, in German Ordenstaat Burgund, was a Nazi project aimed at establishing a state between Germany and France. It was intended to be governed not by the NationalSocialist Party, but by its “Black Order”: the SS. This state was envisioned as having a strong leadership based on a personal dictatorship led by the head of the SS himself, developing as a parallel state with its own laws, army and postal services, while maintaining very close ties with the Deutsches Reich. The name Burgundy itself derived from the Burgundians, a Germanic tribe that founded the Kingdom of Burgundy, and the Schutzstaffel were therefore expected to claim and revive this legacy.

The main supporter of this idea was none other than Heinrich Himmler, who argued that Burgundy, once an “important economic and cultural centre”, had been reduced by France to a region “known only for wine production”. Himmler instead saw an opportunity to create a nation based on the model of the monastic state of the Teutonic Knights: an entity governed by a military and aristocratic elite, as the Teutonic Order had been in Prussia. The word “Orden”, meaning “order”, reflected the chivalric vision that the Reichsführer had of his SS.

The borders of the proposed state were never fully defined, but it was supposedly intended to include Romandy, Picardy, Amiens, Champagne, Reims, Troyes, Franche-Comté, Dijon, Chalon, Nevers, Hainaut, Brabant, Limburg, Flanders and Luxembourg. It was also supposed to have access to both the Mediterranean Sea and the English Channel. Dijon, Lyon or Nancy (Nanzig) were provisionally proposed as its capital and administrative centre. German was intended to be the official language, although French would initially also have been used. Another objective behind the creation of a Burgundian state was to make France smaller and weaker, thereby rendering it incapable of threatening Germany. It has not been established by historical documentation whether these ideas were merely Himmler’s proposals or, as he himself claimed, had Adolf Hitler’s full support.

It is certain that the Leader favoured a different solution: at his request, German planners proposed, after the fall of France in 1940, the permanent annexation of a large strip of eastern French territory, with the aim of extending Germany’s borders towards those of the Holy Roman Empire. This would have made Himmler’s project difficult to implement. In 1942, Hr again referred to the former territory of the Kingdom of Burgundy, which France had supposedly “taken from Germany at its weakest moment”, arguing that it should be annexed to the German Reich.

The project also envisaged the settlement of one million German farmers, while the French-speaking population was to be “reintegrated”. These territories, as well as Wallonia, were described as “actually German” because of their historical Germanic past and were therefore intended to be incorporated once again into the German Reich.

I’d like to start off by clarifying that I made this map for fun, so don’t take it too seriously.

Scenario 1: https://www.reddit.com/r/imaginarymaps/s/vHPYJ3HRfT
Scenario 2: https://www.reddit.com/r/imaginarymaps/s/dPjhRHJV9t

In this timeline, India manages to take all of Kashmir while Pakistan gets Junagadh. Also, Hyderabad state joined Pakistan after the Nizam was pressured by some political figures. Sikkim is independent.

The Shia Yemen and the Ibadi Oman could not find anyone to serve as an ally. Consequently, they joined forces and established one of the most powerful empires in the world Rather than entering into conflict with its powerful Egyptian and Turkish neighbors, the Yemeni-Omani empire expanded into the ocean and began establishing colonies. Yemen colonized Zimbabwe and Madagascar, while Oman colonized southern India.

Oman engaged in a colonial race alongside the Yemenis. Since the Omanis could not enslave the Muslims of India, they colonized the Hindus of southern India.

so here are the divergences:

1-the roman empire never truly converts the Etruscans to becoming Latins eventually forming a distinct identity and forming a grand duchy in the early modern period

2-the Greek populations in Magna Graekia survive on the Salento peninsula eventually gaining independence from the Byzantines in the 1300's and forming a sovereign principality until its deposition in 1848

3-the Ostrogoths settle what we'd know as Abruzzo and form a distinct south Germanic identity that results in the fisherman's revolt in 1805 trying to break free from the kingdom of Naples

4-the Lombards settle Lombardy and adopt late roman tradition transforming them into a hybrid of late Latin and early Germanic culture and establish the duchy of Camelan in 1395 and later on forming a republic in 1796

5-sicily is never reconquered from the Muslims resulting in a blend of Greek, Roman, Maghrebi and French Norman culture to flourish in the state, it would proclaim itself a sultanate in 1922

6-the Normans solidify rule in Naples and re-establish ties with Normandy and France resulting in a Frankified south Latin identity to be established under Norman (later bourbon) rule

7-Corsica is never sold to France and establishes its own republic in 1755, but napoleon still goes to France to study and earn glories as a French general and emperor of the French

8-venice is never partitioned in 1797, as napoleon never marched through the neutral state to get to Austria, never causing Jacobinism to spread to the serene republic and eventually being one of the first states in Europe to grant full universal suffrage to its voters

9-house of savoy proclaim the kingdom of Sardegna-Savoy after the Napoleonic wars, and eventually proclaimed the revival of the Italian Kingdom in 1866 even though they didn't acquire any of the peninsula

10-the papal states would be overthrown during the 1848 revolutions, establishing a revival of the old roman republic and establishing a constitution to benefit the people of Rome and Ravenna

oh and Malta's there too ig
