Talk:Timeline (The Green North)

Austrians in the arctic
I believe that the Austro-Hungarian North Pole Expedition of 1872 which was known for leading to the discovery of Franz Joseph Land would have also resulted in an Austrian artic colony in the Green North timeline. I’d also like to suggest that in the Green North time line it is possible the expedition could have been more extensive than it was in the OTL. Consequently, the Austrians could have discovered Severnaya Zemlya before the Russians. Perhaps during the 1890’s the Austrians annex some Russian arctic islands after a short war. These Austrian colonies may have given to Italy after World War One. Then after World War Two these islands would probably been given to the either Soviets or the Norwegians.
