A united Arabia!

After the defeat in the Great War, the Ottoman Empire was partitioned and it ceased to exist. But even earlier, prominent Arab persons dreamed of a Arabia united under one banner. The British and the French mandates in the Arab-world as well as in northern Africa, meet a increasing resistance towards their colonial regime and with a home crowd that no longer felt the need to keep useless desert regions far, far away from the European motherland, Britain and France couldn’t do much when nation after nation started to revolt and proclaim their independency. The same prominent persons that earlier raised their voices over a united Arabia, soon formed the Arab league that tried to diplomat with the former colonial powers. Often, it went well. The Arab league knew about the weak negotiation places Britain and France had and therefore managed to guarantee the newly formed nations wouldn’t be involved in a unnecessary war. Spain was a tougher issue, but due to its problems at home, they settled with selling those provinces for a high amount of money. Italy was the worst colonial power and a long war erupted, before the Arabians with its brothers around in Africa and the Arabian continent came to their aid and throw Italy out of Africa. Now, 1st of January 1936, the Arab League have eighteen member states: Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Yemen, Oman, Libya, Palestine, Sudan, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Somalia, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates and Mauritania. All nations ready to defend their independency as well as their Arabian brother nations independence with their lives if necessary.

when is the initial POD? because if it's in the 19th century, the concept of some of those nations (IE Libya) had not been developed yet AFAIK
 
Actually I suggest Egypt taking the helm as the Ottoman Empire, a more plausible storyline would be the Ottoman defeat by Muhammad Ali with the help of the French in the 1860 dispute over influence in Syria.

Dunno what that mean.

Well, first off, I'm not aiming to create a historical mod.

Second, 'Libya' was the name Italy* used for it's colonies in that area and if that colony breaked loose from Italian colonization, perhaps 'Libya' would be an appropriate name?

Anyways, thanks for the comment, always appreciated! :)

Doesn't fit in with the rest of the background story, so to speak. This aint just an araba-improvment-package, it's one of those areas of my mod 'which-I've-pretty much-decided-how-it-should-be-like-and-now-seeking-some-encouragment-alternativley-ideas-to-more-likely-nations-or-coalitions-at-the-time-beeing-and-circumstanes'. :)

Well, good luck to finish this mod!

Despite the sarcasm, I'll take it as encouragment to keep on developing it. :)

In MNN Kuwaitian and Mauritanian ministers allready done so, maby you could use them?
BTW why somalia is in 'Arab' league?

'MNN'?

According to Wikipedia, Somalia entered the 'real' arab league in 1974, so the probably consider them selfs as arabs or have a large muslim population, that's why I've got them in arab league. :)

No, sir. This is just an old project I've began very easy on a time ago and just the other day, got a renwed interest in.

I'm very eager to see Cold war developing and have no other plans, than to participate in the development in the future as well. :)
 
:p :p :p Lol i'm happy again then.

Point of Divergence

Ah, the background story? Well, I've written it on my computer, but being far from happy, I'll re-write it once again, making some smaller changes, but expect for som smaller adjustment, I belive a united Arabia will be very plausible (which I hope is the right word for what I mean!)!

I'm 99.5 percent Certain that Daboo won't mind you using ModNN's ministers as long as you give us credit.

Of course!! :)
 
What about the alliance's relations with the Shiite Persia?

This is only one part of a world-wide changing history line. The persians (who don't consider themselves as arabs) are hostile towards the arab-league and have others blocs to protect their independce, but 'war' is in the air...
 
Wasn't there another one like this one?
