  1. Franco-American relations if French Revolution produces Constitutional Monarchy?

    Assume the following: The French Revolution produces a Constitutional Monarchy under King Louis and that the French Revolutionary Wars still start more or less on schedule. Since America declared its neutrality in spite of its alliance with France in no small part because the treaty was with...
  2. WI: No American Revolution, British capital moved to America

    If American Revolution never happened, would the British decide to move their capital to America in order to prevent it from splitting? That way, the roles would be reversed and Britain would become a de facto "vassal" of America but they would remain a single state. As a side question, could...

    Failed American Revolution TLs

    Just figured I'd ask to see if some people could recommend some good TLs about a failed American Revolution and its aftereffects. Thanks fellas.
  5. Wrong trope - British Imperial capital moves to North America without American Revolution

    Not gonna happen. If it ever became the choice between separating or moving the capital from Britain to North America, that would be the occasion for peaceful separation, like with Portugal and Brazil. Especially wrong-y and trope-y is the idea in some casual speculations, discussions, and TLs...

    The World Turned Right-Side Up
    Threadmarks: Chapter 1: The First War for Independence

    “An ardent desire to spare the further effusion of blood will readily incline me to ask such terms for the surrender...” --General Charles Lee “The war for our Independence has invariably not gone in our favour.” --President John Jay The First of the British-American Wars of Independence...
  7. President Greene?

    Nathaniel Greene isn't as well remembered as Washington for his revolutionary war service, WI he'd lived longer, could he have become President instead of Washington if Washington really didn't want the job?

    Threadmarks: Chapter 1: The Origin

    ...I think we need to finish this Declaration of Independence soon, though. We have no time to waste.” An almost mournful atmosphere presided the final signing of the Declaration of Independence. The American Revolution was truly on now. The rebellion would have to continue without the...

    AHC: French California

    in the period surrounding the American Revolution, the new world colonial empires largely collapsed. The French had lost it prior to the revolution, the Portuguese and Spanish destroyed by napoleon, and Russia was barely a player in the arena. Only the British remained, and even they struggled...
  10. WI Nova Scotia joined the American Revolution as the 14th rebelling colony?

    Inspired by this passage: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/when-nova-scotia-almost-joined-american-revolution-180963564/ Apparently many residents of Nova Scotia were recent New Englander ex-pats as well.
  11. America Abandons Its Founding Ideals (pre-1900) Challenge

    AHC Challenge: How could you make a timeline where the United States of America (completely) abandons its founding ideals? (No, I don't mean completely falling apart. Even so, some of the pieces may attempt to live up to the beliefs found in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution)?
  12. With a POD some time during the American Revolution, how can you make Canada French?

    ...Montreal before the snow fell? Maybe if the Continental Army and other patriot militias are more successful at the start of the American Revolution, we can get the French to join the war sooner. If they deploy a sizable amount of troops to Canada and spend some time and effort fighting for...

    What are the major, long-term differences between a world where the American Revolution is crushed, and a world where it is averted?

    Sorry for the lengthy thread title, but I needed to articulate a very specific question. Alternate history scenarios that see Thirteen Colonies remain in the British Empire are relatively common, but they almost definitionally fall into one of two broad categories. The first posits a world where...
  14. No OTL American revolution, and England bans slavery as OTL - reaction in America?

    Sorry if this question has been raised before. Lets say the American revolution either doesn’t occur, or is quickly put down. How do the colonies react when the British 1833 Anti-slave law is enacted? Would the south then become the hotbed of revolution that New England was in the 1700s? Or are...

    WI: King George III visits the Thirteen Colonies? What happens?

    (I know this is a stupid and crazy idea, but I'm just curious) What if King George III of Great Britain, decided to go to America, to asset the situation himself, and leave the ramblings of Parliament for awhile. This idea has two PODS; Pre-Lexington and Concord and Post-Lexington and Concord...

    United states breakup: map suggestions

    So I'm going to do a qbam map series on a usa that disintegrates in its early history, and this is a rough draft of what I have for 1812(ish). I'm personally debating whether the usa should exist here at all as a rump (labeled confederation congress) Any suggestions on how to make this more...

    Largest possible United States at the time of Independence

    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...
  19. Ainu and Japonic colonization of the North American West Coast and herald a major revolution

    What if in around the 8th-11th Century period, the Ainu and the Japonic people jointly undertake exploration missions towards their East, and reach the North American West Coast, and en-masse settle California and the surrounding River valleys like the Arizona, Gila and the Rio Grande, etc, and...

    Challenge: Make the US population double (or more) what it is in OTL 2020

    Map Conditions: The US, by 2020 in this timeline, must have a population of at least 660 million. The US must have a similar GDP per capita and standard of living. The US cannot control more than its OTL borders, plus Canada, northern Mexico, and the Caribbean. This world's history has to be...
