Description I started this map a long time ago on the basic 'worlda' template map used over on AlternateHistory.com and can't remember if I had any particular POD in mind other than 'maximal German Empire from an 1890-ish divergence'. Some of the decisions I made were a bit weird (Wallonia is probably the oddest) but I've transcribed them faithfully into Inkscape. I decided to focus on Europe since, although the colonial changes were based on actual German pre-WW1 ambitions, they looked a bit crap. Basically, Germany has Angola minus the Moxico panhandle and northern Mozambique while Britain takes the rest and Katanga.

By the looks of it there's been a European War between France-Russia and Germany-Austria-Hungary (with Italy staying out), and a separate Britain-Ottoman conflict leading to the British taking control of most of Arabia and establishing a protectorate in Palestine (how long the Ottomans would last after losing every major holy site south of Lebanon is another question).

German Bosnia is Best Bosnia.

Also did Britain free Kurdistan from Iran but not from Turkey?  Because that seems a bit silly.

I think I had in my mind that as a result of the peace deal Britain got Persia confirmed in its sphere of influence with an (Irano-)Kurdistan as a buffer state (with the Brits knowing that this will also provoke internal unrest in the rump Empire, hence 'Free Kurdistan'). In the war itself Palestine (and a puppet Hijaz) would have been a far juicer option than expanding a semi-hostile satellite.
