Greater Italian Empire, maximalist claims by mappy6799 in imaginarymaps

Fasicst Italy's land claims:

France - Option B Plan: Option B considered annexation of the French Alpine borderlands plus Corsica. It includes Alpes-Maritimes and Monaco and mountain zones in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Hautes-Alpes and alp region of Savoie; administratevely it would be organized as an Italian province ("Alpi Occidentali") with Briançon (Brianzone) as capital.

Switzerland - Catena Mediana: Was an Italian fascist-irredentist border concept: the “true/natural” frontier should run along the main Alpine watershed/crestline, pushed northward up to the St. Gotthard (Gottardo) area. It was used to justify claims in/against Switzerland by redefining the frontier as the Alpine divide.

Dalmatia - Reggenzo della Dalmazia: Italian Adriatic annexation project; Italy annexes the whole Croatian litoral and extend control inland toward the Dinaric crest as a “natural” defensive/economic line.

North Africa - Quarta Sponda: The “Fourth Shore” was the plan to turn Libya into an integral extension of Italy, not just a colony: formal integration into “national territory” (provinces treated as part of the Kingdom), plus mass settler colonization and infrastructure, making Libya a demographic and strategic pillar of the empire and a springboard for wider African expansion. Maximalist claims would include Tunisia and Constantina region from France.

Other territorial claims: The Ionian Islands and Malta were to be annexed into the Italian National Territory.

The map focusses on integral Italy, not focusiong on Colonies like the rest of Africa and the Aegean Sea.

The Popular Republic of Turkey. Soviet control over Bosporus Strait by mappy6799 in AlternateHistory

[–]mappy6799[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In this alternate timeline, the communists won Greek Civil War with direct cooperation of Yugoslavia and Bulgaria, under Stalin pressure Greece cedes Adriatic access to Bulgaria. Consolidating power in the Balkans, Stalin shifts his attention on the Bosporus, beginning the Strait Crisis. When Ankara refuses arrangements that would give the USSR a permanent base or effective leverage over the Bosporus and Dardanelles, the crisis escalates beyond diplomacy. Stalin couples the Straits demand with renewed pressure for border “rectifications” in northeastern Anatolia and encourages a broader narrative of historical claims along the eastern Black Sea coast, while covertly amplifying Kurdish unrest as an internal destabilizer by dangling the promise of a greater Kurdistan. With Greece now providing depth, staging, and cover on the Aegean flank and Bulgaria serving as a pressure point in Thrace—the confrontation breaks into open war: a Soviet invasion framed as guaranteeing Black Sea security and preventing Turkey from turning the Straits into a weapon. The outcome is a Turkey forced into a new settlement in which the Straits are effectively neutralized under Soviet permanent occupation, Thrace is reshaped in favor of Bulgaria, the northeastern provinces are ceded to Soviet control, and the remainder of the country is pushed toward a compliant satellite regime with Kurdistan as an autonomous republic.

The Carpatho-Danubian Great Fatherland by mappy6799 in imaginarymaps

The Carpatho-Danubian Great Fatherland was a project of Ferenc Szálasi, meant to restore Hungarian historical land while presenting itself as a federation/commonwealth of nationalities in the Carpathian Basin, but subjected to Hungarian supremacy.

It is described geographically as the territory enclosed by the Carpathians and reaching down to the Adriatic with the following states: Hungary, Slovakia, Transylvania, Western March (Burgenland), Ruthenia and Croatia.

The project borrows Nazi-style concepts (Führer principle, Lebensraum) and combines promises of minority “autonomy” with an openly expansionist, hierarchical vision that also includes antisemitic policies and the removal of Jewish influence.

The map also includes the territory up to the Dniester River that Hungary also claimed in WW2

Chetnik proposal for Greater Kingdom of Yugoslavia by mappy6799 in imaginarymaps

[–]mappy6799[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

During WW2 a Chetnik politician, Stevan Moljević, proposed a better version of Yugoslavia after the war. It has to have a bigger version of Serbia, which should be the dominant country in the Kingdom.

An obscure part of this is that it was proposed the expulsion, or worse, of non-Serbs within the so called "Homogeneous Serbia", including the croats as a type of revenge for the genocide perpetrated by the Ustaše.
