Good catch. The wording is intentional. 1. Singular, because the TL is speaking to one person - you- the reader! 2.I went with the informal route as a sort of meta expression of le Canada in comparison to France. French Canada as a less informal version of France, or as the French metropolitans...

The British will likely allow settlement west of the Appalchains to an extent but I’m thinking the presence of French Canada will make certain colonial issues worse rather than better - especially the ones concerning Taxes and heavy handed stationing of British regulars in the colonies.

And surprisingly completely of OTL

Haha. I was thinking 1765 and 1764 and somehow it came out like that.

Between Wars: The Aftermath Perspective Following the Treaty of Paris the consistent territories of New France had shrunk quite an amount. La Louisiane was to be ceded to the Spanish (including the critical Illinois Country), all French forts in the Ohio Valley were evacuated, and Acadia up to...

Now, those of you who have read my “Vive le Canada” TL know I have a thing for French Speaking Canada. That TL was enjoyable but I feel I let it run off the rails a bit with how OP French Canada became. So I want to take a look at an Independent French Canada again but from a different POD -...

*Inspired from a recent map created by B_Munro which featured a potential future for the TL. Granted I have planned for Mexico and the Norteamericanos to unite in a Federation at somepoint... Republica Norteamericanas Unidas: The Two-State System One of the first major hurdles of the federal...

Nice! I did do a short TL “Nabatea Ascendent” where they managed to form a empire consisting of Syria, Ptolemaic Egypt, Arabia and Persia where the Empire split in half ruled by twin sons of a Nabataean King and a Cleopatra - one ruling the Persian portion and the other the Egyptian portion.

Aww. Now I feel all kinds of touched and at the same time all kinds guilty I need to continue the TL. Haha thanks.

Hmm, it doesn’t mention that but most likely at least nominal acknowledge.

Reading up a bit on the Mexican Underground article and it states that as early as 1831 at least one Mexican Senator was suggesting settling Ex-Slaves in Texas to prevent an American filibuster - echoed by then Colonel Juan Alamonte. Obviously this didn’t pan out likely because of the timing of...

As I shake off my writing lethargy hopefully I’ll be able to write about that. The most likely adoption is through the Hudson company making fur-based clothing on site in Victoria, introducing sewing machines and perhaps textile looms foremost. In respect to things like gunpowder the...

Immigrants from Sub Continent and Far East There is a tendency among modern portrayals of immigrant history from the Indian Subcontinent and the eastern Eurasian coast that these migrations first began in the late 19th Century with the outlawing of slavery leading to mass demands for indentured...

Coming back around to my baby here. I am trying to brainstorm the next few updates. My knowledge of the 1820s-1850s are a little weak so it’s hard for me to come up with material - as you could see if you spot my “Bay of All Saints” and “Vive le Canada” TL they always peter out at this...

Politically speaking we probably wouldn’t get a United North African Kingdom right away but there would most likely be a fair amount of inter-marriage. These Mauri Kingdoms would also look across the Med. to Hispania and Italy as well? Probably get some fruitful alliances with the...

I wouldn’t be so sure on the lack thereof for Pirates in the Med. As the Berbers were very happy it seems to go along with the invasion of Hispania and Med. Piracy was not something invented by the Arabs. Imagine a Berber conquest of Hispania sans the religious overtones?

What needs to also happen is for the Anti-Spanish Tlaxcalans to gain root and dominate Tlaxcala. Then the door into taking Mexico would be a much slower process. By then though the butterflies would still run rampant. The wars Spain fights in Europe will already become affected by the change in...

The book describes Carlos as being quite cruel and short tempered before his accident, it self being a result of him chasing a servant. Afterward he just went off the reservation completely with attempts to kill people and overthrow his father and such.

People here seem to think Cortes just walked over the Aztecs, he had tens of thousands of native allies who were integral parts of the conquest and maintenance over much of Mexico for sometime. I’m regards to the conquest of North Africa, we can take a look at Sebastian of Portugal. While...

I'll touch on that next. I can say though as with many of the frontier nations its borders are more claimed than defined. Santa Barbara is the center of the region and Ranch culture got a bit of an earlier start in the region as it is another Vaquero Republic. I will also likely go back through...
