There is no Tanzania? most of Africa is controlled by the PALF
Indonesia is a rising star amongst the Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere. Essentially haven thrown off the shackles of Japanese overlord, it now stands as beginning to appear as a near equal to the Japanese Empire. With a rising navy, high population, strong military, and growing industry, Indonesia seems to become another dominant force within Asian politics. However, there's still some problems. For one, Indonesia still faces overpopulation and overflooding issues on the island of Java, especially the capital of Jakarta, and there are talks of moving the Indonesian capital. Nevertheless, Indonesia is a rising star in Asian politics.
Thailand faces the issue of whether or not to stay under the suzerainty of the Japanese. Despite having escaped the wrath of the Japanese, many of the people of Thailand see themselves as nothing but Japanese puppets. Already the monarch, Rama IX, has begun to question the nature of Japanese overlordship, however for now Siam remains under the Japanese thumb.
The Vietcong have been fighting since World War II and the post-war era. Having previously protested and fought against the French, they now fight against Japanese influence in the region. The elderly Phạm Văn Đồng has led the Vietcong forces after Ho Chi Minh's death, and his partisans have been fighting a guerilla war against the Japanese, since forever. Having contacts with the Naxalites in Japanese India and Communist Partisans in Korea, as well as being covertly backed by the Philippines, the Vietcong are in a good position to kick the Japanese out once and for all.
put a Spanish monarch on the throne Rhenzern if he puts the current Spanish king (a carlist) on the throne I might have the monarchists win my civil war and restore relations I might even rejoin the latin pact (tho prob not)
Oh, I just meant in the future. You could also have a faction (or multiple) try to get allies, and the other factions pointing to it as treasonous or whatever you like.
Russian troops - around 17 division's worth, or around 130,000 soldiers - would line up on the border of the Mountain Republic and on 26 February 1869, they would launch an offensive into the country, meeting little resistance on the border thanks to the Mountain Republic being an anarcho-state ruled by the nomads. The troops would sweep southeast, piercing deep through the mountains using skilled Russian mountaineers, with heavy fighting breaking out around major cities. The Chechens and Dagestanis put up fierce resistance to Russian troops, but their troops, who were not even led by a proper field marshal or equipped with modern weaponry, could not hold back the Russian onslaught. Troops would capture the major city of Nalchik on 6 March and proceed to occupy it, though in stark contrast to the invasion of the former Kuban state, Russian troops would treat the natives mostly decently, with pictures from war reporters emerging showing Russian troops having tea with Dagestani elders and posing alongside Kipchak civilians. Russia was, as far as anyone knew, honouring the agreement made with the Turks, even giving the conquered peoples more rights than other North Caucasus ethnic groups. The invasion would roll on as the cities of Vladikavkaz and Groznyy would fall on 17 March and 18 March, respectively. In the southeast, with Russian mountaineers waging fierce battles with the local tribes, both sides would suffer heavy casualties as it became evident that fighting through the North Caucasus and its mountainous terrain would be no easy feat. However, on 25 March the cities of Khasavyurt and Makhachkala would be captured through a joint army offensive and naval landing with the Caspian flotilla, pushing the Mountain Republic's tribal troops out of their major cities and into the countryside, where resistance continued, though it was continuously suppressed and rooted out by occupying Russian forces. Despite these ongoing operations in the Caucasus region as a whole, the Russian Republic would declare victory, having reasserted control in the region and opening the way for domination of Georgia and the Turks in the south. Russian troops, some 115,000 of them, would begin to move onto the Georgian border, while requests for negotiation over the fate of the Georgians would be sent to Konstantinopol and Athens.
Upon receiving the request for negotiations, the Greek Republic would be incredibly surprised. Nevertheless, the Greek president would invite his Russian counterpart for talks in Ellinika, Greece.
Prime Minister Pavel Mikhailovich Arkhanov would arrive with a small delegation into Ellinika, bringing gifts. He would be a tall, burly, (unlike short Napoleon, heh) and imposing man, with a booming laugh and a friendly demeanour. He wasn't here to wage war, that was for sure.
Should we even call them Carlists anymore? I mean in this timeline King Ferdinand died before he managed to produce an heir, so the whole "lagitimist" line of the Spanish Bourbons from Isabella II would never existed
