  1. American Revolution dies on the vine

    This being my first post I'm introducing the thought of the American Revolution ending shortly after the Battle of Brandywine, 1777. My thought is what would have happened after Capt Patrick Ferguson killed Gen George Washington with his new inventon, the breech loading Ferguson Rifle. I...
  2. WI Britain won the American Revolution?

    This isn't my forte. OTL, Britain lost the American Revolution because it couldn't deal effectively, and diplomatically, with other countries like France, Spain, The Netherlands, Prussia, and Poland, to deny both material, monetary, and military support, to the Thirteen Colonies. What would...

    AH Challenge: American Revolution Reign of Terror

    ...bouts of violence against Loyalists during the ARW, but by and large the nation settled down after the ARW. Here, your challenge is to have more radical elements of the American Revolution come into power enough to start a Reign of Terror somewhat akin to that of the French Revolution.

    DBWI: What if the American Revolution had Succeeded?

    I'm sure you all know the story of the American Revolutionary War, how the band of traitors calling themselves the Continental Congress led a revolution in the British American Colonies, presumably for personal gain, though telling most everybody they met it was for the good of the American...

  6. DBWI: Would the French Revolution have occured had the American Revolution succeeded?

    ...today, and wanted to check it out here. Would the French Revolution have even occurred, much less succeeded, had the the First American Revolution failed? These were my thoughts. Had the 1AR succeeded, French republican disidents would have had an alternative place to go, rather than stir...
  7. WI No American or French Revolution?

    WI the French King decides that while Franklin is a very nice guy they just don't have the money for another war with England. America gets no overt help from France in the ARW. As a result, France stays solvent and has money to put through necessary reforms, the French Revolution fails...

    We all no the pathetic Attempt by the Ragtag Americans was stopped dead in its Tracks after a Crushing defeat at Lexington but what if the American Attack on Lexington and Concord had suceeded? What could have happened?
  9. TL: American Revolution Avoided

    This is a thread for a new TL I am writing. This TL will be based on the possibility that the American Revolution of 1776 could have been avoided if the British Parliament was not blinded by greed and realized the injustice in forcing the colonies to pay for the Seven Years War without giving...
  10. No American Revolution: Pitt the Elder makes parliament see reason

    ...Parliament not to tax the Americans to pay for the war. As a result, Anglo-American relations continue on good terms.

  11. Divisions of North America without an American Revolution

    If there had been no American Revolution - say if the problems between the colonies & Britain had been worked out peacefully rather than resorting to war - how would British North America have ended up being divided up? I mean in the present day, as Dominions or whatever (Some examples: New...
  12. No American Revolution / A failed Revolutionary War - What might cause that?

    I have been wondering: what do you all think are the most plausible PODs for changing the course of the American Revolution - either preventing it from flaring up, or preventing the Americans from winning the war? In the first category, the British could have managed things better, not passing...
  13. French Revolution without American Revolution?

    Ive been wondering for a while now that if the American revolution were to be defeated for whatever reason by Britain, then perhaps the ideals and revolutionizing ideas could still take a hold in Europe, and the French monarchy might still be overthrown? Your thoughts, please comment.
  14. WI there was no American Revolution?

    I am often moved to wonder what would have happened if The American Revolution would have never happened. I feel that if King George would have swallowed his pride and asked France for help, The United States would've never existed. Perhaps, we would've been named New England as a whole...
  15. American Revolution fragments

    WI by the time of Bunker Hill there was no great sense of intercolonial unity amongst the different American colonies ? Could there have been a scenario where the NE colonies would've been left to go it alone without the assistance of stores from the south or Mid-Atlantic colonies, or the...
  16. The effect on France of no American revolution

    How would France have developed politically if there hadn't been an American revolution. Lets say the post war government in London had handled the Americans far more adroitly by not banning settlement beyond the Appalachians, loosening the mercantile limits on American industry and giving the...
  17. American Revolution Spreads to Britain

    In the discussion on current events in Bolivia, the American Revolution came up. BlackMage said that from the British POV, the Colonies were low on the priority list for representation, since Liverpool and Manchester did not have any MPs and only 5% of the population could vote. I said that...
  18. No American Revolution - relation between NA and Britain

    Suppose there is no American Revolution, or the American Revolution fails. Lots of people have suggested this, but I'm curious about the long-term implications. Well, chances are that most or all of what is now the United States and Canada will be British territory. Unless the British...
  19. Yet another No American Revolution TL!

    ...this premise for some time. Disregarding the several obvious objections to the Plan, what if it had been accepted? I hope the No American Revolution ATL hasn’t been done to death. British North America Premise: In OTL, the Galloway Plan’s constitutional formula of Imperial devolution - that...
  20. Jefferson.Adams arrested..no American revolution

    This is an outline of an initial effort by me. Comments appreciated. Thx British find out about what Jefferson,Adams,Franklin et al are up to and arrest them all. They are tried for treason. Jefferson is hanged, Adams rolls over and is released, Franklin is too valuable and eventually...
