How is the world today

The British Empire was always going to separate but its successor states would be much more closely tied and would constitute a more important global power bloc.

Russia would transition to constitutional monarchy and probably end up something like the present day UK with devolved powers.

The US would consolidate power in he Americas much like it did in reality and would be something like China geopolitically, powerful but less assertive and influential culturally.

The European powers would be pretty varied, some would cling to Empire, others wouldn't.

A tiny backwater nation that still relies on slavery industrializes in a single generation and slowly takes over the entire Old World except for the UK and India, reducing their entire populations to chattel slavery with no substantial difficulties. The US spearheads an alliance against them and the two sides engage in a prolonged Cold War, only with much higher stakes, interrupted only by frequent sessions of lesbian sex.

What do you think would happen to places like France and Germany or The Ottomans and Japan?

Belgium?

Nah they'd be a huge conflict or other powers sponsoring/funding rebels in other powers colonies to damage their reputation/global image or make them a bigger burden.

Imagine a cold war where instead of striking each other or direct fighting it's starting shit in colonies.

>>1966910
But the disintegration of Russia, Austria and the T*rks was a good thing.
>>
>>1966948
There would still be Kaisers in Germany.
>>
>>1966954

Why would they do that? Every state was Imperial at the time, even the US. The only reasons anti-Imperial factions were funded were US western hegemony and communism, both of why required the world wars.
>>
>>1966966
How do they dissolve in this alternate world then?
>>
>>1966974
Just to get at each other anon.
You can be imperial and works against other imperial states.

It doesn't mean the anti-imperial faction in the colony will succeed but as long as the increase the drain of the colony.
>>
>>1966975
>T*rks

I imagine Arab nationalism fuelled by oil and the British would have still flared up at some point.

>Russia

Communism would probably still have come into being and then collapsed - probably more fucked in some ways from internal strife because no Great Patriotic War.

Austria

> South Slavic nationalism would have still happened.... but its hard to know how much for instance a slovene cares in this world. I think Austria would have been chill.

As an aside, Egypt and Sudan and Syria could have had a real shot at combined socialist Islam - becoming the ME centre of gravity. It almost feels like our current ME is some 4chan posters crazy Idea on some other dimension board.

>Communism would probably still have come into being
Why? The Russian Empire was already in the process of liberalizing, and there probably wouldn't have been enough anti-monarchist sentiment for a revolution without the stressor of WWI.
>>
>>1967006
Perhaps you are right. But I think the Feb revolution would have occurred still maybe in the late 1920s. There was still plenty of competing ideas and the 1905 attempt occurred without a similar trigger.

I mean have a Monarchist state with still actual serfdom so late is bound to result in communism- esp if you've never seen anyone else try it before.

I am slightly worried about the fate of anime in this world with increased Japanese Isolationism.
>>
>>1966973
Would be this guy nowadays
>>
>>1967073
Anime is posssibly produced faster as Japan uses its colonies to create more anime and quicker
>>
>>1967073
It won't exist. Period.

The Imperial Japan was known for its strict censorship laws and crackdown on fun stuff believed to cause - "mania and anti-societal behavior."

Anime literally emerged from a combo of existing art + western cartoon/comic influence + prevailing era of anti-establishment and rebellion towards traditional Japanese culture of the Old Guard.

>boarders don't shift
>Much of the world still under colonial rule

In that case, many European countries and the Ottomans would be fighting constant civil wars and colonial power would be constantly fighting against colonial uprisings. (But in reality, these borders just couldn't stay.)

>>1967095
Thats it lads, British Empire must be shovelled on to the BBQ - Im not living in this world. #alsosorryjews :(

I wonder if Jap Neetdom/ no birth rate - would be as prevalent?
>>
>>1967109
Obviously all conflicts would be settled by 'champions' to eliminate bloodshed.

And these champions would obviously be small teams of moe girls with regionally reflective super powers and abilities.

For instance: German Suplex or Japanese Rising Sun (Im imagining a fire ball of some kind).
