    Royal Columbia: What if the US was a Monarchy? (Abandoned)
    Threadmarks: Royal Columbia

    On July 4, 1776, a document was adopted by 56 delegates of the Second Continental Congress, who were convened at the Pennsylvania State House (renamed Independence Hall), known as the Declaration of Independence. With its signing, the 56 delegates cemented their legacy as the Founding Fathers of...
  2. Liberty At Last - An Alternate United States
    Threadmarks: #1 - Introduction

    Hello everybody! This is one of my first timelines that I am making (excluding some certain attempts in the past.) This TL is gonna be about the US of A. However, I'm not going to spoil anything about this TL. As I don't want to promise much, I'll say that I'll post probably every few days...
  3. WI All british america joined american revolution

    What if all of british america joined american revolution ? The POD is Caribbean and Guyana don't have absent landlords but settled ones. Quebec act is not passed causing it to join the 13 colonies in revolution. Nova scotia and Newfoundland join due to the increased proximity to the rebels...
  4. Had Whig Supremacy continued, would the American Revolution have been prevented?

    The Whigs maintained control over British politics until 1760, and the Tories didn't really have a strong grip on power until North came to power in 1770. Considering that North's policies largely led to the American Revolution, would continued Whig supremacy prevent the American Revolution, or...

    [From Timeline: "The Tiger's Leap"]: North America after the American Revolutionary Wars.
    Threadmarks: The Peace of Beausoleil

    A look at North America in the aftermath of the Battle of Belle Isle (July 8th 1789) and the consequent Peace of Beausoleil (July 20th 1789). It is the general historical consensus that the American Revolutionary Wars ended in July 1789, with two possible dates: some say the wars ended with the...

    Three Pre-Revolution, ARW, and ACW TL poll

    So for the last few days, I've had a few ideas about a TL I could do in the meantime as I'm focusing on TEE, which will have updates every now and again. The TLs I'm considering have PoDs in either the 1710s, 1600s, or even 1500s, while the ACW will obviously have an 1800s PoD. Here are the...
  7. WI Britain offers personal union to US during ARW?

    So George III is persuaded going to war with the colonies is a terrible mistake after reading the Olive Branch Petition (Adams doesn't send that letter calling it insincere and viewing war as inevitable). He believes that creating a new kingdom for the 13 Colonies is the best solution. Is this a...

    Would Spain join Britain in ARW in exchange for Gibraltar or Florida.

    As in the title, if circumstances arose earlier in the ARW where Britain was not so confident in victory, would they be a able to recruit Spain to their side by offering Gibralter or Florida in exchange? Would they be willing to join against France too? I thought of the scenario after I read...
  10. AHQ: peace treaty terms after a successful Armada of 1779

    So, let's suppose for a moment that the Spanish fleet isn't delayed by strong winds and makes it to the rendezvous point with the French fleet in time and the combined Bourbon fleet manages, despite heavy losses, to decisively defeat the Royal Navy and land 30,000 troops. Assuming that the Royal...

    The Galloway Plan gets implemented

    What if Joseph Galloway by some means or another was able to convince Parliament or the Founding Fathers or both of the Galloway Plan to ensure the colonials and royals interests were both protected? How would things look for the colonies and Great Britain and how would this effect the world as...

    Unusual ending

    Point of Divergence: parliament does not stop funding Great Britain and Great Britain regains popular support for the war. British forces battle United States forces to a stalemate in 1783 and in 1784 the fighting stops but without a peace treaty, truce, and/or even an armistice. The American...
  13. Britain takes the Cape in 1781?

    During the global conflict Britain was mired in during the early 1780s (including the American Revolutionary War), London organized a fleet under the command of George Johnstone, whose orders were to invade and conquer the Cape Colony from the Dutch. Unfortunately for them, France found out...

    WI: The Patriots kidnaps Prince William Henry?

    I was reading some history and discovered an interesting fact I never knew about. George III's son, Prince William Henry (The future William IV) was stationed in New York, as young naval officer. So, the Culper Ring hatched an operation to kidnap the prince and hold him hostage. This operation...

    - Author's Note - This Timeline is a rework of my previous Timeline, written almost a year ago. As you can see by the title, it even takes some elements from it. Being a rework of the Timeline, you will see changes, for starts, this version has a clearly defined PoD and does not mess heavily...
  18. WI: Southern US Remains Loyalist

    Let's say that the Northern and Middle colonies revolt as otl but the southern colonies (and maybe Delaware) remain loyal to London, how does this effects the next century? Would they try to invade New Spain during the Napoleonic Wars? Would they be able to prevent abolition in the empire...

    PC/WI: "Napoleonic" victory but with Lafayette

    We all know Napoleon Bonaparte, the revolutionary general who proclaimed himself Emperor and used his military to spread both the Revolution's ideals and his empire. Let's not talk about him. Let's talk about the Marquis of Lafayette, a figure I find quite underrated. The "hero of both worlds"...
