so no Ciudad Juarez over the Rio Grande with El Paso, that and El Paso is probably not as big as OTL

One effect of a conflict with Chile and Columbia in 1885 over Panama might be a sooner push for a canal to link Atl and Pac. USA would join Britain and France for an international canal. This canal could be in Panama or Nicaragraga. Might even see USA investment in Mexico for a rail system...

Ahh yes, I forgot about retiring as a general after The Peace of Paris. The fact that although he was the most powerful man in the young country, he gave that power back to Congress, (Confederation Congress)

What is the most important precedent set by George Washington as first POTUS? Was it only serving two terms? Was it retiring from national politics after his second term? Was it the peaceful transition to the second POTUS under Adams? Or is it something else?

Yes Puerto Rico and Cuba would be states if Cuba was annexed by USA after S-A war. It would be post WWII and when Democrats are in control of the House, Senate and White House so that would be under Truman from '49 to '53 or under Kennedy or Johnson. Let's say it is Truman in 1953 before Ike...

USA remains strict neutral for both world wars and after in 20th century This would mean no US involvement in WW1, Allies still might win, or it might end up a draw as both sides exhaust themselves WWII, USA enacts lend lease, but does not embargo supplies to Japan in Japan's invasion of...

A problem with Union strategy in 1862 and 1863 was how to keep pressure on the Confederates. Hopefully, Thomas would not allow the Confederates to regroup in Tennessee. The second problem that the various Union armies had were to coordinate advances to keep the pressure on. East Tennessee...

Japan by attacking the USA, Dutch, and UK bring the UK back into the war. Germany would have to declare on both, or if Germany just declares war on USA, USA would pressure UK to enter war again. What did UK loose in peace deal in '40, maybe nothing at all, just a cease of hostilities with...

So smaller US involvement in Vietnam, S. Vietnam collapses around 1972, LBJ is POTUS in 1966, runs in 1968 wins No Vietnam, USA has two more lunar landings, is there enough technology for a lunar base? Perhaps a joint base with the Soviets. How much of LBJ's Great Society is implemented to...

Austria-Hungary and Ottoman Empire are both still internally weak even if a win in WW1. Germany might see itself as the one Reich, one people, one ruler thing just not as extreme as the Nazis. So with A-H falling apart, the annexation of Austria could still happen. Perhaps the Germans and...

Is there any way in 1860 and 1861 that the Buchanan admin can work with Lincoln more? I do not think that there was a succession plan or planning between administrations. Maybe Buchanan can be the first to actively work with the next admin.

North Vietnam will not have the supplies. With this, can US and S. Vietnam go on offensive to extinguish communists. It is after Tet, N Vietnam needs to recoup some, but still has the psychological victory that Tet achieved. Nixon should take advantage with this. China and USA reach agreement...

Burr was a soldier as.well. So Hamilton is further derided. Who is on the USD 10 bill? Madison? A lady, Susan B Anthony?

For this, I think that some other POD's would have to come into play as well. Mainly 1.) Japan not as active with war against China, less aggressive 2.) Japan does not take over French Indochina from France after fall of France With these two items, Japan is not at odds with West. Perhaps...

USFL remains a spring league. Develops good relationship with NFL. It evolves into smaller developmental league. Main rivalry is with CFL

What if Baja Cali and Sonora are combined into one state, call it Sonora. Mexico keeps Chihuahua but much of today's Sonora goes to the USA. San Diego becomes a little larger. The Chargers remain.

POD would have to be Soviet aggression in Europe. Stalin gets paranoid when Turkey joins allies in Feb 1945. Stalin fears allied enforcement in Europe. As US prepares for invasion of Japan, Stalin sees that now is his chance to drive the Allies from the continent. Instead of pulling units...

For this, would need Turkey to join allies. Turks would need to be equipped by West. Would also nèed western air dominance Turkey advancing through Bulgaria would be after British landings in Greece and Dalmatia in early '44. This would be after allied commitment to Med and capturing Sicily...

Reality would have a POD in the ARW US able to capture forts Niagara, Eerie, and Detroit. In Peace of Paris, USA keeps OTL southern Ontario (upper Canada) USA has better relations with Britain in early 1800's and is able to obtain more or all of otl Canada minus Que and the Maritimes through...

I wonder why the USA did not go for Minamitorishima in 1943 IOTL? Capture it when the Essex's are coming in. Was the island big enough for the bomber and fighter groups needed to defend it? Perhaps this was the key why it was not taken before May 1945. But the island itself could start the...
