The História Alternativa Wiki is a Wiki website established in 2003. It was founded by members of the Portuguese Baidu Conculture group. Since then, it has grown to become one of the largest alternate history websites around and available in many different languages.

The Wiki also includes Map Games, which has become a popular past time. Due to its huge collection, it was moved to a subdomain, mapgames.história-alternativa.pt.

The Japanese version of História Alternativa Wiki contains the most Alternate Histories, with Chinese language following second, Korean third, and Portuguese fourth.

Here is a list of some notable alternate histories, including those in other languages.

Sol Nascente sobre Grã-Bretanha[]

Sol Nascente sobre Grã-Bretanha Map (Satomi Maiden ~ Third Power)

Map of the World in Sol Nascente sobre Grã-Bretanha

In Sol Nascente sobre Grã-Bretanha (Rising Sun over Great Britain), the English managed to win over Denmark-Norway in conflicts and wars. As a result, the English, and later the United Kingdom, became a minor power in Europe.

Meanwhile, the Japanese colony of Moriya managed to push the Chinese out of parts of Mexico, and grew in size to cover OTL First Mexican Empire plus parts of OTL Louisianan Purchase. Japan managed to hold a tight grip over its colonies, and turned them into Overseas Prefectures.

By the Napoleonic Wars, the United Kingdom managed to repel the French invasion and weakened their navy. Shortly afterwards, the UK would then evolve into one of the World's Great Powers, alongside Japan, China, and Korea.

However Britain's glory didn't last for long. By the First World War, the British sided with the Central Powers and had fought against Japan. The war as a result lasted until 1921, in which the Central Powers were defeated. The British Isles were soon annexed by Japan, and the Dominion of Britain was established.

Shortly after the war, Brazil, Canada, Bolivia, New England, and Kangwŏn formed an alliance to defend themselves from the other Great Powers. Increasing tensions grew, and by 1950, Brazil decided to launch a pre-emptive strike against Japan by invading the Falkland Islands, which sparked the start of the Second World War. The war was the most devastating and become the only war in which nukes were used. Japan and the allies won the war, and Japan annexed all of Bolivia and the South Region of Brazil, Alaska annexed all of Canada and parts of Kangwŏn, and New Venice annexed all of New England.

Japan maintains its Global Empire to this day.

The Touhou Project in this timeline was created around 1994. By around 2002, following the success of Prefect Cherry Blossom, Sega met with ZUN, and managed to purchase Team Shanghai Alice. Since then, the Touhou series became a popular franchise under Sega, and ZUN would work together with Hajime Satomi in creating some games. An official Touhou Anime was also developed around 2004 and as of now has Eleven Seasons; and a few live action films were created based on the series.

The English take Orleans and makes their presence on French soil official, later taking all of Northern France including Paris. In Korea, Yi Sun-sin is assassinated earlier, allowing the Japanese to take Korea. Japan later becomes an Empire and by the 1650s, parts of Siberia were under Japanese rule. The Ming Dynasty had dissolved between various warlords, though by the 1720s China was unified under the Second Tang Dynasty, being allied with Japan.

The timeline only goes up to around 1800s at the moment and is still being worked on.

Chinese language[]

In Pax Mingxian, the Ming Dynasty were able to succeed in their Luchuan–Pingmian campaigns and managed to gain land in Burma. This lead to an expansionist Ming Dynasty, and by around late 1490s begun colonisation of the Americas.

With a more powerful China, the Sengoku Era came to an end much sooner by the 1560s, however Japan was divided between the Satomi clan and the Tokugawa clan. However after much discussion, the two Shogunates united into one by 1700, and the Satomi-Tokugawa Shogunate was established. Later sometime during the 1760s, the Hongjiang War of Independence took place, which resulted in the Hongjiang colony in the Americas to declare independence.

By modern day, the Federal States of Hongjiang became one of the three superpowers on Earth, with the others being China and Japan.

Shortly afterwards, the Finnish people revolted against Sweden, and declared independence. In 1721, the Russian Empire attempted to invade Finland, which resulted in a heavy loss for the Russians. By 1755, Finland came into contact with Korea, China, and Japan and later signing alliances with them. The Russians attempted their second invasion of Finland in 1809, which not only resulted in another loss, but Russia had to secede some land to the Finns as well.

Since then, Finland had fought against Russia two more times: during the Russian-Japanese War and the First World War. Shortly after the Second World War, Finland gained superpower status and is today one of the four superpowers.

Since then, Sega and Sony became allies in the video game market, and both managed to surpass Nintendo by around 2002. Nintendo stopped making consoles in 2004, with the GameCube being the last console. Microsoft entered the gaming market by around 2001 and became a major competitor against the Sega-Sony alliance.

Team Shanghai Alice releases Touhou games for Sega, Sony, and Microsoft consoles. By 2006, Twilight Frontier decided to merge with Team Shanghai Alice to form Team Shanghai Frontier. The Touhou series remains popular throughout the world.

Toyotomi Japan[]

Later on however, the forces of Takeda Shingen managed to pull of a successful victory at the Battles of Kawanakajima, and later at the Siege of Hachigata. This lead to the Takeda clan uniting Japan. This leads to a World similar to TTL except the English managed to win against Denmark-Norway in a conflict in 1605 and again in 1670, which resulted in a Kingdom of Great Britain being created in 1707 between Scotland and England. The Swedish also managed to barely win a war against Russia, and kept Finland. Great Britain developed into a minor power in its own right, and managed to successfully fight against France and Denmark-Norway in the Napoleonic Wars. Hannover, Bayern, and Prussia later united in 1871 to create Germany.

Since then the World is similar to TTL, but without the Russian-Japanese War ever happening, Russia sided with the allies in the First World War, Denmark-Norway dissolved in the Second World War, and Ireland being conquered by Great Britain.

Richard III of England wins control of England, Portugal discovers America and Amazonia, Russia becomes constitutional, and lots of other stuff happens from there. It is very large, amounting up to almost 700 pages.

The Kindai Hajimari (近代始まり; Latin: Principia Moderni) is a map game series from the Japanese language Wiki.

Kindai Hajimari[]

The Hungarians became a World Power; India managed to build a large Hindu Empire and had a huge colonial empire similar to Spain, but with less land; Vietnam and Hanthawaddy also had huge colonial empires, and China managed to conquer Central Asia instead of Russia. While some European nations ended up falling to the Asian powers, Russia, Hungary, and Venice/Italy managed to avoid being conquered and match them in power. Sweden also did to an extent, but had temporary lost land to Hanthawaddy.

By modern day, Hungary, Italy, and Russia were the main superpowers in Europe, while India, Vietnam, and China were the main superpowers of Asia. Sweden and Japan became the Great Powers, as well as the Union of the Americas.
