The Domination of the Draka is the name of the titular faction in a series of Alternate History novels written by SM Stirling.
History
The point of divergence in the series is that the Netherlands declares war on the British Empire during the American Revolutionary war, eventually leading the British to take over the Dutch Cape Colonies (renaming it Drakia after Sir Francis Drake, which eventually gets corrupted to Draka) and has it's population bolstered by Loyalists, German Mercenaries, French Nobles and Confederates. They turn to conquering Africa, enslaving it's population as they go through the 19th century, getting around abolitionism by re-designating their slaves as 'serfs'. As they go, the free white population of the Draka creates an ideology that divides the world into two groups: themselves, who are fit to rule the world, and everyone else, who are to be enslaved.
