So war would last a couple of years. In the end, the USA acquires Cuba, Guam, Philippines, and Puerto Rico A US victory may waylay the Civil War entirely. As already posted, the South would be busy developing the West Indies and New Mexico territory. North would expand in West and now Pacific...

Like Amy Grant, she could have a couple crossover albums with uplifting songs like "Firework" and "Roar" She might transition to acting as well

The war machines for all three are ramped up. Plans are made and will be continued for 1944 and 1945. Germany is still screwed. All three nations were bent on destroying Germany no matter who was in charge. Do not know who in the USSR Politburo would succeed or for the UK Parliament succession...

I suport the Virginia first to emancipate - 1840's Other points to aid southern abolition are: 1.) Less agitation from the North and more home grown southern abolitionists. Have as a result of the second great awakening that more southern clergy and rich planters are abolitionists. Start with...

Also with the Perry expedition to Japan in 1854, what is the American position in the Pacific? Should be less competition with Britain since USA has the Pacific Northwest. Perhaps the USA annexes Hawaii sooner.

Good Ameriwank, From previous chapters, why didn't the British attempt to re-capture Quebec City? They owned the ocean and Halifax, I could see them trying to re-capture the city with the Americans providing an effective defense against the siege. Is the Welland Canal constructed to link...

second for Gore. Hindsight being 20/20, he would have been what the country needed. 9/11 still happens, Afghanistan responce is on. No Iraq. More focus on climate change. POTUS Obama may not happen or would be later.

Sumner aided Lincoln in diffusing the Trent Affair and helped guide the US policy to release the CSA envoys to Europe. A more anti-British or more jingo leaning leader in the Senate may work against Lincoln in the matter.

I do not think that the USA would specifically aid the Mexican Empire in invading and retaining Texas and the Gadsden Purchase. USA might prop up Mexican Empire if they would assist out west but it would be known beforehand that the 1860 border between USA and Mexico would be the final border...

Could Spain do both? That is explore and conquer the new world and then lead western civilisation against first northwesr Africa and then Ottomans. This would replace England with Ottomans for the Spanish Hapsburgs.

Quebec joining the thirteen colonies to make number 14 is not entirely ASB. The key to Quebec joining the American cause is the capture of Quebec City in 1775. For this, I would have two POD's 1.) Arnold travels west to the St Lawrence to aid Montgomery instead of the trek through the...

Soviets will be screwed. Allies can pick and choose where to land. Soviets will be successful at first. Allies hold in southern France and northern Italy. As they perform a fighting retreat, evacuations and re-land in southern France near Spain. The goal is to hold Spain (Franco sees writing...

Best case scenario for Germans Capture Leningrad in '41, are in a better defensive position in North to fend off Russian winter 41/42 offensive. Germans isolate Murmansk in 42 but cannot do the same for Arcangel. Ultimately, Germans do better on east front until 1944 When the Soviets are...

To me successful Stalingrad capture also means a successful defense of the ensuing Soviet offensive in winter 1942. It would be bad for Turkey to join axis as long as the British own the Med. By this point the British are in firm control of Egypt as they win at second El Alamein and the...

Still have Franco in Spain. His form was a reaction against Communism in Spain, greater nationalism, and protection of the Church against liberals. Still would have reactionary nationalist governments in Germany, most likely the Nazis

Long live Jim Traficant - Dem from Ohio who was more of a loose cannon in the House. Longer live his hair piece !!!! With Gore winning in 2000, will be interesting to see what he does after 9/11. Perhaps he places more US spec forces in afghan and turns them loose. Result is that bin laden is...

Actually there was only one Dakota territory, not plural as the title suggests. The two states formed out of the one territory in 1889. There was never a North Dakota territory and South Dakota territory but one single Dakota territory that spawned the two states. Two ideas I can see to have...

No BC Lions Would it be the Vancouver Lions or since Detroit would already be the Lions could 've the Cougars or Grizzlies Would Seattle and Vancouver develope the same? Seattle would likely be the larger port. Vancouver would probably not be as big as today. So probably no football team.

I have read an Alt Hist short, where the W Allies focus on the Med in 1943 and 1944 and make it the deciding theatre instead of a build up in 43 and cross channel crossing in 44. With this, Ottoman flanks are secured and join the Allies in 44

The 2000 census and the Congressional reapportionment act that follows was not instituted until after the 2000 elections. Meaning, Puerto Rico may have been allocated only three electoral votes for 2 senators and one house seat, the minimum as indicated by the US Const. The number would then...
