  2. How would British America have developed without the American Revolution?

    It tends to be rather forgotten now, but originally the Colonial Americans considered themselves citizens of the British Empire and were proud of it, with their argument Britain originally being to get better represented in the Empire, rather than being independent because that was radical back...

  8. WI: British defeat at the Great Siege of Gibraltar

    When France and Spain joined the American Revolutionary War, they weren't in it out of simple altruism. They wanted to make gains at Britain's expense.

  10. Impact of No American Revolution on the Netherlands

  11. British Parliament without the American Revolution

    ...that focuses on this, I am genuinely interested in the potential political implications and fallout in British Parliament if the American Revolution is averted (ie what happens to Prime Minister Lord North), which seemingly few No American Revolution timelines seem to discuss.

  12. Charlotina, Transylvania, and Vandalia (Westsylvania) Without the American Revolution

    I am working on a timeline where the American Revolution is butterflied away, for the most part, thanks to the Galloway Plan of Union being approved by the Continental Congress instead of being shot down by one vote. Before the start of the American Revolution IOTL, there were three proposed...

  17. Galloway and the Plan of Union: A Saga of a British America

    Hello, this is my second attempt at a timeline with a point of divergence pre-1800. My first attempt was merely the development of a proto-CSA over 70 years earlier and while I was initially enthused with the idea, it got stale and instead rebooted my first timeline on here which was a CSA...
