This is an expansion of my other Loyal to the Crown map (It's also going to be the last map featuring that timeline) with it showing the rest of the world.
POD: With the success of the Battle of Saratoga, British forces in Canada would successfully move down south to split the rebelling colonies. The patriots would be dealt another blow with General George Washington being killed in the Battle of Albany. The patriots would face a power struggle would endure with several generals now scrambling against each other to become the new general of the continental army. By January 1778, British forces would soon reach New York City, splitting up New England and the rest of the colonies. New York would soon surrender to the British, causing panic across the rest of the United States. By June 1778, British troops would capture Philadelphia, capturing most of the continental congress and causing most states to surrender to the British. The remaining members fled to Richmond. Despite this, the war effort largely collapsed with most of the continental army surrendering say for the remaining few troops and states. By 1779 the last state, New Hampshire and North Carolina surrendered, ending the American Rebellion.
NORTH AMERICA:
Following the American Rebellion, British North America would experience several reforms to prevent another revolt. A parliament was established (functions similar to how OTL Canada or Australia would). Varying degrees of autonomy would be set up for the colonies. For their loyalty, Native Americans that sided with the British would be given autonomous areas within the colonies, where they act similarly to the British princely state in the British Raj. The 13 colonies would later be referred to as Columbia by both those living there and in England. The politics of Europe would continue to spill over to the Americas, and New Spain and Columbia were no exception. Following the American Rebellion (Later referred to as the Columbian Rebellion), Thousands of British Columbians would migrate into Spanish Louisiana, some settling as far as Texas. This would lead to the British being interested in these lands, and in 1816, conflict would soon erupt. Given the small settler population, British and Native allies' troops would quickly march deep into Louisianian territory, capturing several forts and eventually New Orleans. Eventually, the British would invade Texas hoping to take areas settled by British Columbians. In early 1818 the Spanish agreed to hand over Louisiana and Texas if the British recognized New Spain's borders. With the British agreeing to sign peace, Louisiana and Texas would become a part of the Colonies of Columbia. Issues over slavery were less severe compared to OTL thanks in part to the Cotton Gin development being delayed. With this, the South was less dependent on slavery and adopted industrialization earlier. Slavery in the Columbian colonies would be officially abolished in 1833 alongside the rest of the British Empire. Meanwhile, the people of New Spain have grown restless following the Louisianian War. Although Napoleon never invaded Spain, their control over its American colonies has weakened since the start of the 19th century, and the New Spanish Rebellion of 1824. Though the rebellion was suppressed, it forced Spain to reform its policies in how the colonies were governed, with them achieving greater autonomy and allowing the colonies to act more like how the Dominion ship worked in OTL British Empire. The British would also grant the Columbians their form of dominion in the form of a Commonwealth, and thus on May 5, 1847, the Union of Colonies Act was passed, leading to the formation of the Commonwealth of Columbia. Of course, there were issues over whether the Indigenous States should become members of the Commonwealth and to what degree of autonomy they should get. Ultimately it was decided that they would join the Commonwealth but retain their autonomous rights and still be regarded as citizens of both their nations and of Columbia. In 1883, after years of tension, war broke out between the British and Russians. Russian Alaska would be invaded by Columbian forces and quickly fall. Following the war, Alaska would be fully annexed into the commonwealth. By the late 19th century, New Spain's economic power and population would grow, challenging Spain itself for control over the Empire. Even by 1910, the two Spain’s continued to compete against each other for domination over the empire. New Spain's newfound power would also see the rise of a new independence movement hoping to finally secede from the Spanish Empire. By 1910 Columbia remained the most potent dominion in the British Empire and most Columbians view themselves as an integral part of the empire. Politically the country is primarily divided between the Whig and Tory parties and smaller support for the Libertarians and Labour movements. By 1910 negotiations were being made with the Lakotans and Blackfoots to carve out their autonomous states in the commonwealth, though nothing has occurred yet.
SOUTH AMERICA:
Without the Napoleonic wars, Spanish and Portuguese control over South America continued, albeit with more resistance. Several armed rebellions would occur throughout the early 19th century but would be beaten back by the Spanish and Portuguese. Brazil continues to be Portugal’s ‘jewel in the crown’ and with Portugal’s loss of influence in India, began to focus on it mainly. Even after the rebellions, Spain's control over its colonies remains turbulent at best. With New Spain becoming a dominion of the Spanish Empire, other colonies begin to open up to the possibility of becoming a dominion. Spain was apprehensive at first, Not wanting to give up control over the rest of their empire. However, as time went on and Spain's power decreased, they ultimately allowed the colonies in South America to establish themselves as dominions. On May 20, 1849, the Empire of New Granada, Peru, and Rio de la Plata were officially formed as self-governing Spanish dominions. This proved beneficial to Spain, as without having to focus their might on South America they can focus on themselves. Brazil meanwhile is still treated by the Portuguese as their oversea territory (akin to the Azores). Throughout the latter half of the 19th century, support for the Portuguese monarchy would decline and separatism would grow across the country. By 1910 Brazil is still a Portuguese colony and most of Spanish America are autonomous dominions.
EUROPE:
The death of Washington and New England being spliced off the rest of the country convinced France and Spain to remain neutral in the conflict. Without France's involvement in the war, their economy avoided the crisis it faced OTL and while inequalities still existed, they were not exacerbated. France’s issues continue to worsen, culminating in the Versailles Riot of 1807. Following the riots new reforms were created and France would slowly evolve into a constitutional monarchy similar to the British (Albeit a bit different). Spain and Portugal would continue to decline throughout the early 19th century, with rebellions across their colonies and a failing economy nearly doomed their empire. The Spanish were able to negotiate with their colonies, with them gaining autonomy and allowing Spain to be less burdened by their colonies, while the Portuguese meanwhile were able to retain control over Brazil. While small-scale conflicts, such as the Anglo-Spanish war of 1816, were fought across Europe, by the mid-19th century, years of tension between the French, Austrians and Spanish against the British, Prussians, Russians and Portuguese erupted in 1839, and Europe would once again be embroiled in war. The 5 Year War (Also known as the Great Continental War) would ultimately see the Anglo-Prussian alliance as the victors. The war would see the end of the Holy Roman Empire and the decline of the Austrians and French. It also changed the balance of power with the two major dominant powers of the world now being the British and Spanish. With nationalism being irrelevant in this timeline, ideas of a unified Germany and Italy never came. By 1910, what replaced them were several minor states, with Prussia and Sardinia being the dominant two. In Eastern Europe Poland would never be partitioned and the Polish-Lithuania Commonwealth would continue to survive as a major power into the 20th century. The Ottomans continued to decline throughout the 19th century though not as exacerbated compared to OTL. Thanks to their decline rebellions in Rumelia would pop up throughout the 19th century (Mostly Greek and Serbian), leading to the Ottomans letting some of these regions go as client states. Without the partition of Poland and the Napoleonic Wars, Russia would be forced to focus on Central and East Asia. By 1910 relations between the Russians and Ottomans have quickly degraded to the point where war seems inevitable.
AFRICA:
Ottoman control over the Barbary states continue to decline, which was exacerbated following the Barbariese Wars which saw the end of piracy in the Mediterranean, as well as allowing France to snatch Algeria from the Ottomans. Ottoman control of Egypt would also, however without France invading Egypt in the Napoleonic Wars, a power struggle in Egypt never occurred and thus Muhammad Ali never took control. Egypt would still break away from the Ottomans thanks to their decline. By the 1870s Egypt would come under British influence and in 1882, became a British protectorate. The Egyptians would also agree to hand over the Suez for the construction of the Canal which would be finished in 1894. By 1910, only Libya remain under Ottoman control, and even then it usually faces threats of an invasion Senussi Order. The rest of Africa would largely be ignored by the Europeans excluding its coastlines. However, by the late 19th century, they would gain more interest in colonizing the continent. The colonization of the continent was much slower compared to our timeline due to the Europeans being less interested in Africa and lacking some military technologies that they had in our timeline. Many of the native African kingdoms would take advantage of this by playing off the various Europeans against each other. Some of them would still come under either outright European control or become a protectorate. In South Africa, whiles the Dutch were able to control the Cape colony for much longer, they would ultimately lose it to the French who captured the colony during the Great Continental War, before being captured again by the British. Following the war, the Dutch were forced to hand over the colony to the British in exchange for Indonesia. The British would expand across South Africa although would divide Natal as a separate colony from the cape and would also make an agreement with the Zulus, Swazi and Basotho to make them protectorates. West Africa and the Sahel would be largely left alone with only the coastline being under European control. In East Africa, the British were able to colonize most of the region though some natives such as Buganda and Abysannia continue to secure their independence.
ASIA and OCEANIA:
With the success of the American rebellion, the British weren’t as interested in colonizing Australia compared to our timeline, but they still had a plan to settle there. As the American colonies grew, they go on to be less interested in accepting convicts, forcing the British to look back at Australia. In 1819 the first convicts landed in Botany Bay. Given the British lack of interest out west, the French and Dutch would also colonize and settle in Western and Northern Australia. Just like in their American colonies, the British made agreements with several Aboriginals tribes to set off autonomous land for them to live on, mostly in the West. During the Great Continental War, the French captured the Dutch East Indies and New Holland (The Dutch colonies in Australia) before being captured again by the British. Following the war, the British would hand over the East Indies in exchange for South Africa. The British would sign a treaty with the Maori to establish New Zealand as a British protectorate. In the Middle East, the Ottomans continue to reign control over the region even with their decline. However, as the British began to expand into the region, this brought tension between the two empires and threats of war between the two seemed to be more likely each year. As the Russians expanded into Central Asia and the Caucasus, the British feared that the Russians would use Central Asia as a staging ground to launch an invasion of India. The British and Russians would compete against each other for control over Central Asia, and even by 1910, ‘the Great Game’ is still ongoing. The British East India Company faced numerous issues throughout the 19th century, leading to its bankruptcy in 1841 and forcing London to take full control of India. Despite no longer being under company rule, support for the Independence of India continues to rise amongst the populaces, and due to regressive tax laws, sparked the Indian rebellion of 1872. Although the rebellion was eventually defeated it forced Britain to reform the government structure of India and became more open to the idea of making it a Commonwealth similar to the Columbians and Australia. In 1905, the Empire of India was officially formed out of the British Raj. China still saw its decline internationally, leading European powers to exploit it. Initially, the Qing attempted to prevent the spread of European influence in China and refused to sign any treaties with them. These efforts wouldn’t last for long as the Sino-Franco War erupted in 1847. Due to France spreading their influence into Vietnam, China felt threatened by France leading them to go to war against them. The Sino-Franco ended with a French victory and China handing over Qingdao, though over time China would cede over the rest of the Shandong Peninsula. By 1910 China is still declining and the Qing have become largely unpopular with most Chinese citizens, threatening their rule. The Southeast Asians were much more successful in repealing European influence in the area leading to the Europeans being less interested in colonizing the area. The French were still able to establish a foothold in Indochina and hold a large amount of influence in Vietnam, especially after the Sino-French War. Japan would be opened by the British in 1857 and forced to sign several treaties with them. Due to the unpopularity of these treatises, rebellions would form across Japan. After putting down these rebellions, Japan would see this timeline equivalate to the Meiji Restoration and the country would industrialize. By 1910 Japan is less expansionist compared to our timeline though they do hope to expand their influence into China.
