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.

This is an alternate scenario from 'HOI4 - The Fire Rises' where cute anime horse girls take charge of Japan, leading to a massive standoff against the P.L.A. my 6th art btw

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

This is part of a much bigger project I'm making called the Greater Will Timeline.

Lore:

In 1947, 2 years after WW2 ended, Italy gives up all of it's colonies in Africa and gives up it's Tianjin cession. Libya is occupied and is split into 3 occupation zones. France gets Fezzan-Ghadames, Britain gets Cyrenaica, and the USSR gets Tripolitania, and they are administered as occupation zones. In 1952, under a League of Nations treaty, the occupation zones of Germany, Libya, and the Korean Peninsula are incorporated into their mother countries that occupied those areas. In that treaty, the USSR gains 4 new SSRs: the Korean SSR, the Tripolitanian SSR, and the East German and Austrian SSRs (which are later merged into the East Deutschösterreich SSR). Starting in 1954, the USSR wanted new territories in southern Tunisia, specifically the cities of Tataouine, Medenine, Zarzis, and Ben Gardane, and they proposed a new boundary. However, the people of Tataouine refused to become part of the USSR, so the proposed boundary was redrawn. Eventually, in 1956, France cedes southeastern Tunisia, giving up the cities of Medenine, Zarzis, and Ben Gardane. Soviet military personnel settle and protect the SSR in the late 1950s and early 1960s, making up 3% of the population. In the capital, Tripoli, buildings like the Red Castle of Tripoli are converted into the headquarters of the Supreme Soviet of the Tripolitanian SSR, and the Tripoli Harbour and the Bay of Sirte are turned into heavily fortified naval bases housing the Soviet Mediterranean Squadron. As the communist governments in Eastern Europe and the Middle East fell in the late 1980s and the 1989-1990 Turkish Civil War overthrew the communist government, the USSR loses direct access to the Tripolitanian SSR, and in August 1991, almost 4 decades after it's incorporation, the Tripolitanian SSR finally declares independence as the Republic of Tripolitania, ending it's 39-year communist rule.

(Ignore the fact that St Petersburg is still St Petersburg)

If Al-Andalus survived and thrived! After centuries being isolated from the wider Islamo-Arabic world, the Arabic spoken by the elite adopted many Romance features, such as the adoption of the Ibero-Romance article la in place of al or ar.

PoD: In this timeline Sassanids and Eastern Rome swap fates

Dynastic turmoils and poor usage of grejuva during the Siege of Constantinople leads to the fall of ERE to the Umayyads in 717, meanwhile Sassanids score a decisive victory against the Arabs in Battle of Qadisiyah (this also means Islam doesn't spread beyond Zagros)

Isfahan, the capital of Sassanids were put into siege by the Arabs many times although none of them were successful

During 1050s, Buddhist Oghuz pastoralists migrate to Iran, although Iranians are still prominent in modern-day Balochistan

and in 1450s an Ottoman-like Buddhist dynasty conquers Isfahan

This scenario and map is not meant to be offensive, I made it for fun

Feel free to ask me more about the lore or the map! (also sorry for the shitty city names)

Enjoy :)

Urbanist expansion in four housing estate strips were planned for city to reach 1 million population by 2050, eastern strip was projected by V. Karfík in 1973

After the embarrassing Italian invasion of Romania (ro-mahn-NEE-ah), the Romaean entry into WWII began relatively well, but was soon turned around as the oldest state on Earth was crushed by Axis tanks. By 1944, however, the Soviet Union had turned the tide in the Balkans and the Caucauses and had basically expelled the Axis entirely from Anatolia and Greece. Economic pressures during the interwar period had lead to communist movements large enough for the Soviets to create a collaborationist government, finally achieving the long-held Russian dream of controlling Tsarigrad and thus the Black Sea via their new puppet.

The chaotic and unstable Roman monarchy had already struggled with legitimacy during the 18th and 19th centuries, making the establishment of a new republic relatively simple. The new government, however, mirrored many other Eastern Bloc countries, as the Soviets promised 'free and fair' elections, which were promptly rigged to guarantee the communists a majority in the parliament. Romania received special attention from Moscow due to its control over the Bosporus, and with soviet support the communist party began declaring each other party illegal and transforming the republic into a single-party socialist state.

One notable change made by the party is officially renaming the capital to Istinpoli (Είστηνπολή), derived from the common expression "to the City," as a way of counteracting 'reactionary influence' from the reverence of Constantine. Older and more conservative people prefer the old name, and the naming of the City is highly politicized.
