british north america

I've read that Nova Scotia, part of Canada now and British North America back then, had a large population of americans in the 1700s and may as well could have joined the AmericanRevolution, but unregulated piracy against them prevented them from considering such. its a pretty simplistic...

I've seen plenty of threads discussing a different outcome for the War of 1812, but I have yet to see one where it doesn't happen at all. So what would be the immediate and long-term consequences of having no Anglo-American war in 1812? Would there be one anyway in the future? What does the...

Many Ameriwank scenarios begin with the nascent United States coming out of the American Revolution having won much more land from Great Britain. However, I was wondering which British territories in the Western Hemisphere could have most plausibly been taken by the Americans in the peace...

As we all know, the War of 1812 was a humiliation for America, and after the White House was burnt to the ground by the British, the Hartford Convention declared independence for New England, which distracted the Americans enough for the British to capture the Great Lakes and the Michigan...

This is for something I have been working on, but this part has me a little confused. Suppose that the leaders of the Continental Congress are able to come to terms with William Pitt the Elder - this has been proposed on here a few times Second, suppose that the agreement allows for the...

During the American Revolution, a huge chunk of Great Britain's most populous and wealthiest colonies in North America broke away to form the US. Left behind were the scraps in the Caribbean and the frozen landscape of Canada, most of which were under British influence for centuries after into...

What if the USA never existed? Say the revolution fails or never happens in the first place, and the USA doesn’t exist. How will the past few centuries change? What are some butterflies? How will this effect North America? What might happen to other colonies?

Looking at a map of shipping lanes in the 19th century, you'd hardly be able to tell that the US and British Empire were different countries, despite protectionist policies in the United States in the 1800s. How could the economic link between Britain and the United States be made into a...

If somehow the British and Loyalist forces were able to conquered a land that was supposed to be what we know now as Maine during the War of 1812 and later absorbed into the Canadian Confederation, what do you think it would've been called?

How come Halifax and Portland in are less industrialised and less populated than the one you see in Boston in our timeline? Halifax is a city in Nova Scotia, Canada, with a population with over 400,000 people and approximately about 400,400 at metropolitan scale total, which is not pretty low...

So I'm working on a timeline wherein the Americas remain British, first by gaining limited representation in the House of Commons and later their own self-government. The POD is something vague in the 1730s or 40s, but that is the ultimate result of it. This obviously means the religious...

Reasons why Canada didn’t became a superpowers? https://www.quora.com/Why-cant-Canada-be-a-superpower-like-the-USA “Other writers have already identified the order-of-magnitude population difference between Canada and the US as the immediate reason. This difference in populations between...

So this is something I've been working on for many years, but some things still just don't feel correct or fit as nicely as I'd like to. I'm hoping a fresh set of eyes will yield some new ideas and workability. Basically, I will be posting various 'sections' of the TL in chronological format...

It's an interesting fact that most Canada-wanks tend to have a POD involving the War of 1812. Very rarely does the ARW get brought into it, and this surprises me. Suppose for a moment that Britain does better in the ARW (I'm thinking of a vague scenario where no foreign power comes to the aid of...

Just a question I've always wondered, but what would the fate of the remainder of British territories if Rupert's Land is sold to the US sometime during the 1850s or 1860s, before the various British North American colonies are united? The watershed boundaries are particularly intrusive and...

Basically what it says on the tin. If, by some turn of events, the US managed to secure Halifax, either by conquest in the Revolution or the War of 1812, or by having Nova Scotia (for whatever reason) throw in with the 13 Colonies, is Canada/British North America "worth" keeping? Can the...

Recently got into the American Revolutionary war, and am fascinated by the maximalist alternate histories presented here-several fascinating books, numerous articles and untold thousands of posts have been presented which see a total British victory which strongly underestimates Patriot...
