Not much is known about the Cataline Conspiracy other than it happened and Cicero executed a bunch of people without due process because of it.

I like all the ones from the "proxy wars" series but the Space Race put it on a whole new level for me.

The Hospitaller colonization of the Americas occurred during a 14-year period in which the Knights Hospitaller (also known as the Knights of St. John or the Knights of Malta) possessed four Caribbean islands: Saint Christopher, Saint Martin, Saint Barthélemy, and Saint Croix.
The Knights' presence in the Caribbean grew out of their order's close relationship with the French nobility and the presence of many members in the Americas as French administrators. The key figure in their brief foray into colonization was Phillippe de Longvilliers de Poincy, who was both a Knight of Malta and governor of the French colonies in the Caribbean. Poincy convinced the Knights to purchase the islands from the bankrupt Compagnie des Îles de l'Amérique in 1651 and stayed to govern them until his death in 1660. During this time, the Order acted as proprietor of the islands, while the King of France continued to hold nominal sovereignty; however, Poincy ruled largely independent of them both. In 1665, the Hospitallers sold their rights in the islands to the new French West India Company, bringing their colonial project to an end.

That's wrong. By Cicero's own account, everyone knew about the Conspiracy

This is nice! Are there any other unkown nations that made colonization attemps and failed?

Omani empire sort of
Anthony Martin
Oman had a pretty good thing going on in east Africa for 200 years, and then the east African holdings broke away peacefully while still having a king related to the Omani royal family. Wouldn't really call that a failure.

I also like the brief moment when Spain tried to assert control of the Pacific Northwest, particularly the Canadian part (Vancouver Island). They did a lot of exploring so there's plenty of Spanish place names in this corner of the continent
