Oh Canada!!!

[NomadicSky]

Can anyone think of a plausible way to give these borders Canada?

[Leo Caesius]

Non sequitur - how are you generating these maps? Which program are you using?

[Thande]

They look like skilful modifications of Microsoft Encarta maps to me.

[Musketeer513]

I like the map too. Tell me how you did it.

[David S Poepoe]

Not to problematic.

The British win the Seven Years War, but later lose the American Revolutionary War. The 'Cajuns' are accommodated, in one way or another, and never immigrate to Louisiana. Acadia never joins the Canadian Confederation and remains directly ruled from London.

Jefferson buys the Louisiana Territory. The War of 1812 happens, but Tecumseh's League is victorious at the Battles of Tippicanoe and Thames, and others. General William H. Harrison is killed in battle and the US brings Andrew Jackson up to the Northwest to defeat Britain and its indian allies. The New England Confederation breaks away from the United States in 1814. Without Jackson at New Orleans the city falls to British forces. The Second Treaty of Ghent (1815) the US cedes the Michigan Territory and the British evacuate New Orleans. The border between British North America and the US is not set by the 49th parallel but by a joint Anglo-American mapping expedition following French claims, which yields the border as seen.

Tecumseh and his followers are settled in the province of Michigan. Which exists as set by the map for only a short while (proving that this is an old map). The portion of OTL Thunder Bay later petitions and joins Ontario. (I mean really WHO came up with that idea?!)

The Oregon Territory is claimed by the Hudson Bay Company and later incorporated into Canada. Its capital is Vancouver (OTL Vancouver, Washington). The other major cities being Seattle and New Westminster (OTL Vancouver BC).

The Henry Clay Administration doesn't push for Texan Annexation, especially since it was a predominately Mexican group that rebelled against Emperor Iturbide. Disappointed that Texas isn't going to be accepted into the Union President-General Houston decides not to run again for office and Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana is elected. Under Santa Ana's direction Texan forces gradual move into and annex Iturbide's crumbling empire in Northern Mexico. The residents of California welcome Santa Ana's army of liberation.

Alaska is annexed during the Crimean War. Greenland is occupied following the German invasion of Denmark during the Second Franco-German War, but before Britain intervenes on the side of the French.

Canadian Confederation into the Kingdom of Canada occurs in the 1860s, but the obstinate Acadians refuse to join - much to the dismay of the British.

and I must say it's my favorite that I've done

[Archangel Michael]

You've got some talent.

[NomadicSky]

I had to change my color scheme to post them
but I like to think that when I through they look as good as the original.
sometimes better

[NomadicSky]

I also like to make flags

[Othniel]

That's just wrong. There shouldn't be any white on commie flag!

[NomadicSky]

just a little southern pride

[KJM]

^Is that a country in which gays enslave straight people?

[NomadicSky]

I was going to use it in my confederate timeline
but I got bored
I would like have a shirt or bumper sticker that said
Southern Pride and had that flag below it

[Leo Caesius]

That flag has the potential to offend so many people...

I like it. I like it a lot.

[NomadicSky]

You forget I live in the south
us southern gays have pride too

[Archangel Michael]

I like that Canadian/Commie flag.

[NomadicSky]

Canadian Communist Party
C.C.P.
they should use that flag but they don't

[fortyseven]

those are great flags, particularly the Gay Confederacy. Wouldn't it be straight people enslaving gays? LOL

[Thande]

Not to mention the Canadian Nazi Party...

[Leo Caesius]

Thande - have you seen the Kataeb (Lebanese Phalangist) flag? It's like that, but instead of a Hakenkreuz or a Maple Leaf, there's a Cedar Tree.

[Thande]

There is no Nazi-variation flag so crazy that it can't exist. I've even seen that of a very obscure US political party which is a cross between Greens and Nazis, and is a Nazi flag but with a green rather than red background. :eek:

Maybe NomadicSky can knock up a Gay Pride Nazi flag. :D

I may have posted this before, but here is my patent 'Sealion ueber alles' British Nazi flag:

[WngMasterD]

Hmm...

If the boundries between The Province of Michigan and the State of Ohio wernt clearly defined (in te same manor as they were as states), the Toledo War could prove to be more than over-zelous farmers and powe-hungry county clerks.

Do i hear a war of 1820?

[Imajin]

Alright, here's my take at the Map Challenge:
- The United Kingdom does better in the War of 1812, annexes the Upper and Lower Peninsulas, which become the Province of Michigan. It also ends up with much of the Northern Louisiana Purchase. Also, the War lasts much longer and New England secedes.
- The 1837 revolutions are far more sucessful. The Republic of Canada is proclaimed, as a federal system between Ontario and New-France Provinces.
- Later, Canada seizes Rupert's Land from the Hudson's Bay Company.
- A tiny revolt in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia results in a complete British overreaction, including putting the colony's legislature on hold, among others.
- A far more mavor revolution in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia results in Independence. The new Republic takes the name Acadia, rather than use the "British" names. However, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia are used as Provincial names.
- Major settlement in Canada in the 1840s and 1850s, especially from Germany. In the newly-created provinces of Saskatchewan and Athabasca, German-speakers are as common as English for a time.
- Texas fights a longer war for indepednece, gets the Rio Grande and everything north of it from the start. It wants to get annexed by the US, but...
- Canada and the United States go to war over the Oregon Territory. Canada wins, plunging the United States into depression, making in unattractive for Texas.
- Alaska is bought by Canada. Feeling debt, Canada sells part of it's frigid north to Denmark to help pay for Alaska.
- In World War One, Canada joins the Central Powers side, along with many of the North American nations that join (The United States stays out, as does New England.) Canada seizes Newfoundland. However, the Central Powers still lose, though Canada is too powerful to invade.
- In a similair but different World War Two, Canada feels that Nazi Germany is simply evil, and instead joins the Allies for this war. It occupies Greenland after Denmark is annexed into the Reich. After the war, Canada simply holds on to Greenland.

There... hopefully makes sense.

[NomadicSky]

Somebody finally got it
I designed that canadian flag for the republic of Canada you can see it on the map
*and the gay pride confederate flag
well in 1991 Confederate President Pat Robertson attempted to make homosexuality a crime in the CSA that flag was used by confederate gay rights activist who met outside of Richmond to protest

[Romulus Augustulus]

It would be funny if during the 1890s, it was found that around 80% of the white population of the CSA was gay.

[NomadicSky]

here the flag you requested I can't see any gays living in hitlers reich because he killed them along with the jews
