Fashoda - Alternate History Tales





Is our reality the only one? Our History the only that is real?
What if there were parallel dimensions/universes to our own where History has taken different paths? This book is about that possibility.
To imagine what might have been is a new (when compared to other science fiction older themes) and fascinating subgenre of Science Fiction called Alternate History.
So alternate history is what this book is all about mainly about what if the Fashoda Incident had led to war: Britain and France have always been allies during all the twentieth century. Both nations have fought and won the two World Wars. They have been together (with little disagreement at least) on the same side of Cold War and finally together in the European Union.
Therefore, it is difficult to imagine and understandable that so few people today know that in the late nineteenth century, 1898 to be precise, both those great allies were brought to the verge of war!
It was the Fashoda Incident. However in our reality the French
backed away allowing the British all territorial claims to Fashoda and in exchange France received rights over Morocco. This was the last crisis between the UK and France and from that moment on the Entente Cordiale that allied both countries was born and is still alive today.
Nevertheless, that particular crisis might have gone out of control, France might not have yielded its interests to the British what would cause grave consequences.
The worst one is that a war might have been fought between the French and British that might have changed all the next century (the twentieth century). Even today's world might be a very different place...
However the thematic of a different (and worst) Fashoda incident although the central one it is not the only one in this book, I also imagine others: what if Portugal has never existed? What if the communists (and not the Nazis) have took over Germany in the 1930`s?
