to be honest, we've had so many opportunities for world domination that it amazes me everyday that we managed to fuck up badly enough to end up like this. I'd say the main two are:
do something about the American colonists in the 15 years leading up to the revolution
don't get involved in WW1 and let Germany, France and Russia cripple themselves

It's basically a mirror version of what happened to the US. I'm sure that, given the choice, no european power would wish for the existence of such a major regional player in North America either [hello Spain], but circumstances dictated that they had more important/profitable/urgent matters to deal with than whatever a bunch of breakaway settlers might be doing across the sea.
As for US involvement, I was under the impression that it has always seen the Caribbean as its immediate sphere of Influence. Continental South Smerica seems to be sufficiently distant that an emerging power there wouldn't be sufficiently bothersome until it could project power far enough to reach beyond the Panama Channel.

I'm from Slovenia, and I know there's loads of people from Slovenia on /his/, so i'm leaving them the task to make a believable alternate history where we'd control most of the world.
Maybe if most of the world would be wiped out or something.
>Netherlands
Uhhh... It's amazing enough that we survived for as long as we did desu... Considering France, Germany, Britain, Spain, and Austria...
Lets start off with the Amsterdam nobility being less of the crypto kikes that they are and allow Maurice to take Antwerp aswel.
Say the Dutch-Portuguese is much more of a victory on our side - and not simply trading colonies in Africa, Americas, and Asia - we could end up with a Dutch Brazil (New Holland, not the Australian one, but the West Indies one), and a complete displacement off the Portuguese in Africa (Angola, Mozambique, several more bits) and India.
Tulipomania doesn't happen.
Rampjaar doesn't go through (in spite it prompting the Stadtholder considering the Glorious Revolution invitation/invastion).
Britain is still invaded and William III becomes both King of the United Kingdom and Stadtholder of the United Netherlands.
The American War of Independence because well, you know, magic I guess. Oh, and probably because the New Netherlands wouldn't get absorbed.
The French Revolution/Napoleon doesn't happen or happens in such a way that the Continental Netherlands end up with the Austrian Netherlands.
This increase in continental possessions prompts the House of Orange-Nassau to be declared Kings of the United Kingdom of Great Britain, Ireland, and the Netherlands.
The World is now an Anglo-Dutch playground.
Cont.
>>436394
So in summary; the Anglo-Dutch Empire now owns;
>Most of North America (No American Revolution, Canada loyal to the crown, Alaska purchased/conquered, Louisiana territory either annexed or partitioned).
>Pretty much the entire Caribbean (depends on how hard France is going to get dicked)
>Same with the Guyanas (depends on how hard France is dicked)
>Brazil is either fully Dutch or at least the North.
>Parts of America's Southern Cone is now Dutch aswel (being discovered by the Dutch)
>Africa - save the Northern bits - are fucked aswel because; no Boer wars, Portuguese Africa is Dutch already, South Africa is also already theirs, and it's only a matter off time like in our timeline that the rest would get colonized.
>Middle East depends on something fucky going on like WWII but this is highly doubtful (Ottomans would probably still be around. We never really had any issue with them "Rather Turkish than Papal" ayy).
>Australia and New Zealand are Anglo-Dutch.
>Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, East Timor, Papua New Guinea are also ours.
>India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar/Burma are part of a Greater Raj (with Russia losing the Great Game ever harder allowing for Central Asia do be swallowed).
>Hong Kong and Macau are Dutch.
>Korea is ours because of several reasons; first Westerner to ever set foot in Korea was Dutch, first guy to write about it was a Dutchman that escaped. Now imagine the Anglo-Dutch taking that as an insult and invading Korea, lmao.
>Japan (or at least the Southern Islands) are Dutch because of Ranguku (Western Learning) with Dejima (artificial trade island only the Dutch were allowed to trade on, as they were the only Westerners the Japs wanted to trade with until America ruined everyone's party).
>Because of the WWII of this timeline Norway still offers to join the Commonwealth and gets accepted (they were only rejected because the Commonwealth didn't want 2 Royals as HoS).

Pretty easy, Napoleon conquers Britain, and Europe becomes a confederation of nation-states under French domination.

>the Renaissance of art happens centered on Avignon
>anti-Gothic Humanism never happens and science continues to advance at the University of Paris, the Scientific Revolution begins 300 years earlier
>the Church never becomes corrupt, the Reformation never happens or is quickly dealt with just like all heresies, no religious wars and Christendom remains united

>>437225
The problem with this is it ignores Texas' chronic manpower and money shortages. The only reason they won their revolution is because Santa Anna fucked up at San Jacinto and completely underestimated the Texan commanders. Had he not been captured, had he not been in command, had he not even been in Texas himself but sent a general or two to do everything the Texas revolution would have been won by Mexico eventually and any impartial view of the conflict would confirm this.
You are now advocating they invade Mexico and restart the conflict every Texan leader thanked god for providing the miracle they needed to end it favourably. In short:
>Make a somewhat believable alternate history

I don't think yours is, there is simply no scenario in which the Republic of Texas is either re-absorbed by Mexico, annexed by the US or kept as a poor and very exploited buffer state by both larger nations.

>Japan and Australia fight out the Pacific war with Australia winning
>By 1950 Australia is in control of most of Africa, SEA, Japan and Korea
>>437254
Why would the peasants of Mexico side with the Texans? They don't even speak the same language. The Texas revolution and Santa Anna's handling of it made sure he was quickly deposed and replaced by a democratic republic. That republics refusal to ratify Santa Annas decision and terms with the Texans after his defeat at San Jacinto is the entire reason the Mexican-American war even happened.
So what the fuck could the Texans hold over the Mexican peasants head that would make them want to rebel against their elected government? "White people are good and it's their right to enslave all the non-whites"? I don't think that'll sell well to a bunch of indian and half-indian peasants.

I don't think we really had a choice. If we had kept out of the great war, the jerries might well have won and started to dominate the continent which would've been bound to come back and bite the empire in the ass. If only the great war could've been prevented altogether... It senselessly exhausted all sides of the conflict and heralded the end of european supremacy, no going back once it went down.

Seriously though all you had to do was give Americans adequate representation in your government and not tax them like second class citizens.

Okay, I live in America but I am Venezuelan Born. I will work from what I can remember:
Jose Antonio Paez leads a Civil War in the Gran Colombia instead of seceding, and wins. Thus, Colombia is united but with a Venezuelan culture and ideals, turning modern Venezuela into the "main" area of the country, and the capital is Caracas (after a few decades, the country is renamed Venezuela to officialize this). Paez acts as a benevolent dictator in the interest of restoring order to the shattered nation, and eventually, any rebellions quiet down. After stability is accomplished, he begins to restore democracy. Venezuela maintains a strong military force for South American standards, being superior to all the other Spanish Speaking nations of the area. Being a true Democracy (because I am lazy, let us pretend voting rights and such always match the USA's in reform time) they get a good number of European Immigrants, leading to the first wave of industrialization. Factories grow, and they become the most Powerful country of the region due to their industrial capacity giving them a good GDP and because they can know maintain a modern army. The discovery of Oil, and allowing the US to build the Panama Canal in exchange for massive investments make the economy boom to the point it surpasses the USA's per capita (but it is still that of a Regional Power in the grand scheme of things). Venezuela participates on both World Wars as an Allied Power (and joins before the US in WWII to protect Britain, as they were major trade partners and because of Freedom). After the second war, Europe's destruction and Venezuela's early involvement make their economy reach unprecedented levels, and, because of cooperation with the USA, they manage to develop nuclear bombs. In the Present, they are close friends of the US, a NATO member, and they "police" Latin America to guarantee Democracy and Liberty for all nations, sometimes militarily, or through assassinations.

Because I dislike Colombia and I just wanted to get the capital out of there (reason being that their flag is a cheap copy of ours. Equal sized lines look better, Colombia). Since I write this story, I will justify it by saying that it was because, since Venezuela became the main culture and region after the civil war, they symbolically wanted to move the seat of government there after they renamed the country. By this time, basic rail systems existed so communications with the rest of the nation would not be as big an issue, and most people accepted it.

As for Mohács, I'm not certain whether the voivode of Transylvania decided not to come to the battle on purpose or actually was just 'late'. I don't know enough of the topic to make a certain claim, but knowing the rest of my nation's history and general mentality, combined with the fact that he happened to become the king afterwards (John Szapolyai) and that he signed a contract in which he nullified his own son's claim to the throne in favour of his rival on the condition that he would remain on the throne undisturbed until his death makes me lean very much towards the former.
We Hungarians always go on about how we are the absolute victims of History who deserve greatness but everyone conspires against us all the time, but frankly, we ourselves are responsible for much of the shit that has happened to this country. We would make great buddies with Serbians.

My buddy Phil already did that, he wrote a book about it, called it Man in the High Castle, the mad man.
I mean, theoretically I guess we could have fallen into the same niche that the English did if we'd managed to conquer the Saxons instead of the Normans or something, but... I don't think anybody's going to be buying it on the whole "the sun never sets on the Welsh empire."
>>436252
>>439202
>I mean, theoretically I guess we could have fallen into the same niche that the English did if we'd managed to conquer the Saxons instead of the Normans or something,
The best thing would probably just be stopping the Anglo-Saxon invasions all together. By 1066 a Welsh conquest of England would end up with a slightly Welshified England instead of a greater Wales, like the Normans Normanised England but the "Norman Empire" never lasted. Or see the Tudor Dynasty.
Stop the Anglo-Saxon invasions and you have the natives of sub-Roman Britain taking England's place in history.
The Danes show up later and the Britons unite against them like the English did historically. The Kingdom of the Britons could be stronger than England too, without having to deal with a Wales on its border and Scotland possibly confined above the firth of Forth

In the event the Romans lose the Punic Wars so Carthage becomes the dominant power and never really takes an interest in Europe north of the Pyrenees - Ireland with it's advanced legal system and cultural tradition that developed independently of Rome continues to colonize Britain uninterrupted by Rome or German migrations the Hiberno-British lands would fill the gap in history left by the Carolingian renaissance.

>'Murrica takes ALL of Mexico's clay in the Mexican-American war and then segues into round three with Great Britain over Canada; later America picks up the rest the clay in the pacific that doesn't belong to the bongs
That's pretty much it desu.
something like this
perhaps being able to take canada during the revolutionary war or war of 1812, and then taking more territory from mexico than we did. probably join world war one earlier for a quicker allied victory and stay in the league.
idk how wed aquire australia or palestine. i just think it would be cool.
Not losing the Seven Years War or the War of the Sixth Coalition (or even the Russian campaign not happening) would be a good start.

Texas could have done fairly well for itself if it had been able to secure financial support from a great power. Its population grew exponentially up through the reconstruction era, so if it held out long enough it would have had enough people eventually to stand on its own. it would remain quite poor until the discovery of oil, at which point it would become the saudi arabia of north america. as an independent country it could have made even more money selling its energy to other americans than it did historically, and historically it made and continues to make a killing
i dont see it ever conquering anything though and probably would have had to give up its claims to new mexico and the rio grande valley early on. the technology that made it possible to settle the western half of the state didnt exist until the 1870s and its only hope of holding on to its western half was the fact that nobody else could plant large numbers of people there to hold it either

There. That's the most we could dominate the world.
And I'm ok with that. Hopefully the terrorists don't notice we exist.

Reckon we could have potentially spread into Solomon Islands, New Caledonia etc?
>>442114
Maybe even New Britain/New Ireland.
Ok.
Hitles does not hate jews as much. Juden scientists and shit keep supporting the Reich. Italy remains neutral during the war, a la Franco, and Mussolini realizes Italian military tech is sub par and starts researching and shit.
After the war A LOT of german scientists and shit fled to Italy, in this scenario there's no operation Odessa and virtually all german military scientists move to Italy.
Italy gets the Nuke and the dankest military ever. Some pact or close alliance with Franco + Moortgal + Greece = NEW ROMAN EMPIRE.
The end.

What is just propaganda? I'm pretty sure no one tried to falsify the number of years each of our known kings reigned. Also note that I never said the kingdom of Croatia was powerful - it was a regional power at best.

That was the excuse, but Americans didn't want to be part of the British empire at all. They were way too far away to support America in the first place, and many Americans didn't want to become Britain 2.0.
