Since the dawn of time, counter factual history has been plagued by a simple question: why doesn’t the big country simply eat the smaller one?
While looking at the video for Malta and French Algeria the thought struck me: what if the Imperial Federa
Of course different countries will have different circumstances and there’s the racial and cultural element, but as a thought experiment it still has some merit. Just not sure how to implement it.
A different decline of the empire with a slower, gentler collapse in which countries like Grenada and Malta are strategically useful? A pseudo-Federation in which only white settlers can vote at first but eventually the franchise expands? Or somehow Britain’s circumstances are closer to France’s?
Though admittedly the how and why might be less interesting than the potential consequences, from importing Caribbean and Maltese politicians (and parties) to Westminster to having the “mainland” parties devise platforms and policies to appeal to such constituents (unless they were to develop Spanish-style regional parties that could then be used as tie-breakers in Hung Parliaments)
