  1. American Revolution: Invasion of Canada

    I would appreciate some insight as to how a successful American invasion of Canada would look during the American Revolution. In other words, and more to the point, put all British claims in Canada in American hands by the war's end. Make them get their @$$ handed to them so hard, have the...
  2. How to engineer the First LEague of Armed Neutrality into the American Revolution?

    You read the question. I am trying to figure out a way to make Catherine the Great's First League of Armed Neutrality declare war on Great Britain, preferably due to the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War, when the Republic of the Netherlands supposedly was a neutral power.

    No American Revolution - Consequences in Europe (and the world)?

    What would be the most noticeable divergences in Europe (and the rest of the world) in a hypothethical scenario in which the ARW is averted? In the short term, is the French Revolution inevitable? With united British North America, would the UK focus on carving an empire out of the decadent...

  5. Slave Revolution in a post American Civil War CSA

    The American Civil War ends in a draw, the democrats in the south split, and so do the northern republicans. The slaves of the south rise up and overthrow the CSA in a violent revolution. The first black president of the CSA signs an order calling for the expulsion of all whites. How does the...
  6. American Revolution: What if There was a Longer War?

    American Revolution: What if the Treaty of Paris Failed? A What If? With a POD during the signing of the Treaty of Paris. In this ATL, King George III of Great Britain personally comes to Paris to oversee the signing of the Treaty of Paris, thus ending the Revolutionary War and officially...
  7. AHC: American disobedience causes British Revolution

    Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to have the disobedience in the American colonies to spillover into the home islands, until the entire Empire becomes a constitutional republic.
  8. Let's say the American colonists lose the Revolution.

    The colonial victory was heavily dependent on sheer luck and British miscalculation. There are several points where we could easily have lost. Seeing as how it was pretty likely at the time for us to lose, what would the ramnifications be of a quick (say, 1775 or 1776) quashing of the uprising...
  9. WI: American revolution sees the 13 colonies independent but nothing more?

    I'm not sure if this topic has been broached before, but I'm interested in what the forum's views might be on the development an Independent America would take that is limited to just the 13 original colonies. I'm not sure what the POD would be to get here, I guess some kind of military...
  10. Help required - Averted American Revolution: Britain and the world after 1800

    A couple of months ago I came across the rather underused POD of the 1767 budget passing through the British parliament un-amended as a result of Pitt the Elder's gout not flaring up for another year or two. Over the last few months I have researched British and American politics in the late...

    For Want of Real Estate: An Alternate American Revolution

    For Want of Real Estate: An Alternate American Revolution The Battle of Germantown was a battle that might have been a decisive victory for the Continental Army had bad luck and bad coordination not scrapped Washington's plans. So what if the battle had gone differently? What if the...

    How Could the American Revolution have Turned "French"

    I need this question answered for my revised edition of American King. :) How could the Americans have turned to blood, beheadings, etc? I doubt people like Washington would associate themselves with terrorists or Robespierres, but let's say we take out a few key figures! Say, Washington...
  13. French Revolution without American War of Independence?

    Would the French Revolution have happened eventually or was it really inspired in part by the success of the Americans? If it did happen, how would it be different? Would it be similar?

    No American Revolution?

    What effect would there be on the world if there was no American Revolution? To offer more room for discussion, it could be that the AR was short lived, or that Britain managed to win, or that there was simply no need for it.
  15. American Revolution averted: effects on Latin American independence?

    In a world where the colonies and Britain come to some sort of compromise, what would be the impact on Latin American independence? It seems like the lack of precedence in both colonial independence and Enlightenment republicanism could butterfly a lot. In addition, if Britain still has American...
  16. The Most Justified of All: Dutch, American, French, or Belgian Revolution?

    ...general consensus in this site is that all of them are justified to some degree. But, in your opinion, which revolution is the most justified of all: The Dutch Revolution, 1566 - 1609 The American Revolution, 1775 - 1783 The French Revolution, 1789 - 1799 The Belgian Revolution, 1830 - 1831
  17. No revolution, the american colonies remain with GB, and the affects thereof.

    Hi, technically I'm a member of this forum but I never get on and all I do is creep and read some of the interesting things that are posted. This forum has actually helped me a lot in regards to some of my history classes and what not. So anyway I was wondering if you guys could plausible...
  18. WI no Washington in the American Revolution

    I have my own opinion on how important George Washington was in winning American independence but I am curious what others think. How important was Washington? How would the war go without him? (assume he dies of sickness after the 7 years war)

    WI: No foreign aid in the American Revolution

    ...no Dutch war with Britain, no Second or Third Anglo-Msore war, no First Anglo-Maratha war. What would be the effect on teh American Revolution without all of this outside aid as well as the effects of Britain not losing land to France and Spain. To quote wikipedia for the none-American...
  20. French Revolution Precedes the American Revolution

    ...in 1759 (or possibly in 1763, after the humiliation of the loss in the Seven Years War) instead of 1789 and had preceded the American Revolution? Would there even have BEEN an American Revolution, especially if the earlier French Revolution's course paralleled that of the OTL version of same...
