  7. AHC: The British West Indies joins in on the American Revolution

    I challenge you to find a way to get the British West Indies join the American Revolution on the side of the US. Remember, one of the islands (Nevis) faced food shortages due to the war. So, that probably created some anti-American sentiment. Is there anyway to get the islands to join the US...

  12. European revolutions of the 1700s-1800s w/no successful American Revolution?

    Would the French Revolution and those after it have evolved differently if the Americans had failed? I can think of a few ways they could be defeated (either militarily by British troops alone, militarily by a European coalition, or diplomatically by giving them some seats in parliament or an...
