  1. WI: American Revolution crushed?

    So what would be a plausible POD to have the American Revolution crushed, and what would the wide ranging repercussions be? What would be the future of the Colonies, and the British Empire in general? What about the possible butterflies on the rest of the world?
  2. Earliest Possible "American Revolution"?

    In OTL, the American Revolution mostly lasted from 1775-1783. It was fought for various reasons, and resulted in the United States of America becoming independent from the Kingdom of Great Britain. However, would it be possible for the English/British colonies in North America to rebel earlier...
  3. AHQ: American Revolution - Quebec Revolts, Then What?

    So say Quebec revolts along with the Thirteen Colonies and it rides along with them to victory, does it join the new American republic or not? Why would it do so if it did?

    Challenge: Have Georgia side with the British in the American Revolution. What happens?
  5. WI: Britain won the American revolution

    Its kinda odd that I've seen hundreds of stories on the civil war and I can't remember any on the revolution. What would happen if Britain won and managed to hold onto the thirteen colonies like they did with Canada?
  6. Alternate American Revolution Future

    Hi. I'm not active here much, but I had an idea to toss around. :-) Let's say the American Revolution took a different route. Britain offers tax forgiveness to the southern colonies since it appreciates their trade more while becoming increasingly frustrated with the northern colonies...
  7. More French/Spanish gains from the American Revolution

    After the ARW, France gained Tobago and Senegal while Spain gained Florida and Minorca. Is it possible they could gain much more, either in the Americas or elsewhere? I know they did occupy several islands in the Caribbean before the war ended.
  8. Repeal of Navigation Acts before the American Revolution

    Does anyone know whether the repeal of the Navigation Acts would have been plausible pre-ARW? What effects would it have had? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navigation_Acts OTL they were repealed in 1849, so pushing it forward this far seems like a stretch, but I honestly don't know how...

  10. American Revolution fails, British leave BNA later due to Continent

    ...the Northern and Southern United States. Let's say that Great Britain gets some absurdly good luck and manages to crush the American Revolution very quickly, before any major foreign powers step in. The Americans are kept under control on a tight leash by British governors, with many...

    An American Revolution Question

    ...that, due to internal troubles in France during the 1770s, or perhaps failed American diplomacy the French do not enter the American Revolution or supply the Americans with aid. Would the Continental Army still win, since the British are fighting on enemy soil, or would the British be able to...
  12. American Revolution Prevented

    Hello, I have an idea I want to run by you guys, I need some help developing some of this and it has been in the back of my mind for a while. Point of Divergence is shortly after the French and Indian/Seven years war when the UK finds itself with a massive North American empire and a huge debt...
  13. No American Revolution or Napoleonic Wars: what is the fate of Latin America?

    If the American Revolution is averted, causing the French Revolution to happen differently and thus Napoleon never invades Spain, what happens to Latin America? How long can Spain hold on to her colonies here? Where was their political development going?
  14. Quebec goes its own way after American Revolution

    What if the Quebecois could have been persuaded to be neutral in favor of the Patriots in the American Revolution? Maybe all that happens is that the British are defeated in the Quebec Campaign, and the locals don't make trouble for the occupying revolutionaries. Quebec sees the end of the war...
  15. Civil War is a Second American Revolution

    What if the American Civil War was really the Second American Revolution.... meaning instead of the Southern States wanting to form their own country they just want to force Washington to allow them to keep their Slaves. With a Pod anywhere after 1850 how can the Southern States try to say...
  16. An expanded American Revolution?

    Could it be possible that American Revolution could have been expanded into New Spain and/or Brit Canada? If yes, how could have been configured an expanded first United States which more Hispanic population than Brittish? The federal city could have been New Orleans then? Indian territories...
  17. George the III Dies Before the American Revolution

    ...monarchs (and neither would his son). So lets say that due to health reasons George Number Three passes on a few years before the American Revolution takes off. Naturally this would lead to a Regency for George the IV was not of age at this time. How would butterflies affect the upcoming...
  18. AHC: Avert the American Revolution...

    ... in a very specific way. I've heard from a couple of US History professors that if the British government had gradually increased taxes on commodities from the 16-1700s instead of passing legislation like the Sugar and Stamp Acts, one of the colonists' main grievances would have been avoided...
  19. Alternate Endings for the American Revolution

    Keeping the USA, or at least some of the colonies gaining independance, what is the worst case victory scenario for 13 Colonies, and how much could they be reduced to. Consequently, what is the best possible outcome for the 13 colonies in the Revolution, with a POD of 1700, with them gaining...
  20. How long does general European Peace last without an American Revolution?

    What it says on the tin, how long would Europe go without a major war after 1763 without the American Revolution? The lands of British North America are so vast and empty that I can't see the colonists dragging the British into a war with Spain until the mid 1790s at the very earliest. The...
