The Imperial Federation The world's firstmost power and the leading nation in both social and technological progress as well as in economic prosperity This nation is, of course, made of made other great nations In a reality so defined by it's culture, a combination of their variety of...

Victory in Aden TL 11 February 1959 – Federation of the territories of the Aden Protectorate named the “Federation of the Emirates of the South.” 4 April 1962 – Addition of 9 more protectorates and renaming to the “Federation of South Arabia” 18 January 1963 – Addition of Aden Colony into the...

Hi all, since the recent passing of Queen Elizabeth II, I’ve been learning more about the monarchy and the commonwealth. I saw a video by J.J. McCulllough in which he said that he knew people in Canada who thought that because the British monarch was the monarch of Canada, the UK, and other...

The Pax Imperialis (The Peace of the Emperor). Or why the Chinese play cricket (For my beloved daughter Kwaryn) This one of those "the sun never sets" British Empire timelines. However what comes out at the end will very definitely not be the British Empire. Neither is it the Indian Empire nor...

Is it possible, with a PoD ideally after 1922 (the formation of the Soviet Union, though it can be as early as 1917 if the SU still eventually forms, or some similarly recognizable alternative), for the British Empire to remain the premier superpower of the Western world, and take the place of...

Harold Macmillian's "Winds of Change" speech to the Parliament of South Africa signalled clearly that the the British government had no intention to block the independence of many its colonies, particularly in Africa. As a focal point in the history of decolonization, it marked the confirmation...

I was recently doing some research on South Africa's withdrawal from the Commonwealth and abolition of the monarchy which rekindled my interest in the concept of an Imperial Federation. Therefore I was wondering that should a Imperial Federation exist today, what nations would it comprise of...

Ooc: this is a double blind, where we ask an alternate history question... from an alternate history. We ask what if the south broke away, people in tl 191 ask what if the south didn't. And to establish something: britain has lost india, British Arabia, Egypt and the Suez, but retains the rest...

The challenge is that with a POD (or several, which is most likely needed) no earlier than May 6, 1910, and no later than November 9, 1923, the following statements are true as of January 1, 2000: -The British Empire is the most powerful entity on Earth, headed by the descendants of King George...

Otl, when Teddy Roosevelt brought America into ww1 after the sinking of the lusitania, the Entente, now consisting of Russia, Britain, America and France, quite simply crushed the German Empire and Co. While the Treaty of Provence has been criticized for being excessivly cruel to Germany, with...

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is thus-Create a TL where britain survives as a major power, only losing a maximum of two major colonies, and the surviving colonies have a more equal governance. I imagine that the soviets would have to be more aggressive in southern Europe and the...

I was watching and was like what would of happened if Benjamin Franklin failed to get French involvement in the American Revolution. I know we would likely lose the war but what would be the fallout of that? How would the world react to a failed American Revolution? How would the British Empire...

POD: The UK demures from entering The Great War in 1914, against the wishes of David Llyod George and Winston Churchill. However, a compromise is made where David Llyod George and Winston Churchill are tasked with building an Imperial Defence Force, as a deterrent against any possible attack...

So let's assume that Britain performs very well in the alt-WW2 and Germany is crushed by the Anglo-French alliance relatively quickly (maybe they go to war over Czechoslovakia), meaning Britain retains a much higher level of prestige on the world stage and the US and USSR don't rise as quickly...

VERY BELATED EDIT At the risk of thread necromancy. This version of the TL has been abandoned. While I think it is not too bad, certainly nowhere near as bad as my first two attempts, it did have some some serious issues which could not be fixed without a total reboot. The latest iteration can...

As we all know (well, if you're an atomic history enthusiast like I am), you're likely familiar with the results of Tube Alloys, the British atomic bomb project which benefitted strongly from assistance from the Western Allies, most notably the Americans. American capital, resources, manpower...

With any POD past 01/01/1900, make it so that as of the ATL 2017, the British at minimum still control the White Dominons- which are: Canada Newfoundland (before merging with Canada IOTL 1949) South Africa (pre-1961 Republic) Ireland (IOTL made a dominion during the Free State Era between...

VERY BELATED EDIT At the risk of thread necromancy. This version of the TL has been abandoned. Personally I think this iteration is crap, not as b ad as the first, but still something I would not show to anyone myself. Things started improving with my next attempt, but that still has some...

Scenario 1: Post-1945 try and hold onto the British Empire, and try and make it more democratic/representative. Scenario 2: Post-2017 try and reunify the British Empire, by either force or through referendums, diplomacy etc. Bonus points if you don't have to fire a shot to hold it together...
