Rule, Aegyptus! Alternate history of the UK in Egypt

The United Kingdom of Egypt and Southern Syria

Capital: Alexandria
Monarch: King Benjamin III
Prime Minister: Joseph Nelson
Population: 176.2 million
England: 90.5 million
Wales: 17.2 million
Nubia: 40.6 million
Southern Syria: 27.9 million
National language: English
Regional languages: Coptic, Nubian, Beja, Amazigh, Arabic, Hebrew, Yiddish, Dinka, Shilluk

There are two main point of divergence with this timeline. First, the last Roman-Sassanid War that brought both empires to ruin was fought from 430 to 452. Secondly, instead of going to Britain, the Angles, the Saxons, and the Jutes migrated to Egypt late in the 5th century. The first Germanic kingdom on the Nile basin was Jutia, founded sometime in the early 6th century. By the time of the Arab invasion in 639, there were seven Germanic kingdoms in the former Roman province. Three major ones, Westrosettia in the west, Essex in the east, and Mercia in the south, and four minor ones, Wessex, Sussex, Jutia, and Middle Anglia. These seven kingdoms successfully repelled the Arabs and halted the spread of Islam, though nomadic Arab tribes did migrate into Africa. In the middle of the 9th century, King Alfred of Essex united all the English kingdoms into the Kingdom of England, and moved his capital to Alexandria. In 1053, King Robert of Vandalia defeated Edward Haroldson and became the king of England, placing the two kingdoms in a personal union and establishing the lineage of kings and queens that still exists today. The personal union was broken in 1363 when King Joseph II left his kingdoms to two different sons, England to Isaac and Vandalia to Joseph. In the 12th and 13th centuries, English kings conquered Coptic lands upstream to Swenett and established the principality of Wales, which would be annexed into England in the 16th century. From the 12th to the 16th centuries, English kings conquered Syrian lands, forming the Lordship of Syria. Meanwhile in 1273, King David of Alodia and Makuria united his kingdoms and became King David I of Nubia, and began expanding southward. From the 16th century, the kings of England allowed Jews to migrate to Palestine, under the belief that they would be more loyal than the Arabs. In 1590, during the rule of Queen Audrey I, England began establishing colonies in America, after taking Mauretanian lands on the Strait of Hercules. After Queen Audrey I died without an heir in 1613, her distant cousin, King David V of Nubia became King David I of England. This personal union eventually led to the Act of Union in 1710, founding the Kingdom of Egypt, and uniting the parliaments at Alexandria and Soba into one parliament based in Alexandria. From 1740, Egypt began another campaign of domestic expansion, taking Cyrenaica, Abyssinia, and lands in modern day Dajuland, Juba, and Tigria. In 1798, the United Kingdom of Egypt and Syria was founded. In the 1880s, the UK gained more African territories at the Berlin conference, after losing its American colonies a few decades prior. The Syrian War of Independence, following the end of the First World War, saw the de facto independence of the Syrian Free State in 1922 as per the Treaty of Damascus. The Muslims were split though most wanted independence. The Druze, Maronites, and Alawites sided with the independence faction. The Jews and Orthodox Arabs sided with the UK. In the decades following the Second World War, the UK’s territories gained independence. In 2022, Queen Audrey II died and King Benjamin III succeeded her.

My thoughts on Max and time travel

>!I've seen many posts on this subreddit saying that it wasn't fair that Max got his good timeline stolen from him and didn't get it back. If Max did get to use the pocketwatch, things wouldn't be so good. Maybe he'd get his sane father back, but unless the trip was done with surgical precision, some other secondary character would turn evil, and their child would get the shaft.!<

Snow White seems to be relatively young in Descendants, compared to her peers. Early 20s, since Stephanie Bennett, her actor, was 24. Snow White was 14 in her movie. This suggests that Snow White's story only took place about 10 years before Descendants. Snow White's story took place after the unification of Auradon. Now, if this is true, there are two possibilities. Grimhilde was a founding monarch, or the kingdom joined Auradon after Grimhilde was deposed. But this means Evie doesn't fit into the timeline. I believe that she's adopted and her biological villain parent is Ernesto de la Cruz.
