The Spanish Empire in continental America collapsed during the Spanish American Wars of Independence. However, not all of Spains territories in the new world were lost to Mexico, Gran Colombia, etc. Spain still had naval dominance in the caribbean, and was able to keep Cuba and Puerto Rico. They...

Ok. So this is going to be an ongoing thread eliciting opinions on one of my favourite alternate history topics, British Florida. This is not my first time delving in to this idea, I have read all the threads on this site, and I also recommend @CeeJay 's Palmera: An African Resettlement TL...

At the end of the 2004 college football season after the Gators fired head coach Ron Zook a lot of people were speculating that legendary former Florida Gators head coach Steve Spurrier was going to return to being the head coach of the Florida Gators in 2005 after resigning from the position...

Any ideas for how this could happen?

A British Florida in a world where the United States still gains independence, that is. Yes, the peninsula was briefly occupied by the British as a result of the Seven Years' War, but was ceded back to the Spanish after their loss in the American Revolution, and was annexed in turn by the United...

Skirmishes involving Americans in Florida began to eat up in the 1810-1812 time frame historically. Suppose these had resulted in war instead of the OTL War of 1812? Would this impact U.S. relations with Latin American countries then struggling themselves for independence? Might the U.S. be able...

So it's 1563 and the efforts of Coligny are not in vain, the colony has survived and will continue to do so. So let's just say that Spain either ignores them for now, or the colonists fend them with with superior leadership and skill. Now the challenge is growth and expansion for Charlestown...

In the 1810s, there was once very short-lived republic, called the Republic of West Florida. It didn't last long. They tried to capture some towns from Spain, but failed, and eventually became part of the Mississippi territory. But what if, instead, the Republic of West Florida was more...

Say by some handwavium, Germany remains a united nation like France or England. Where would they want to colonize in the americas and in Asia with these centuries of additional time? Only constraint is that Iberians still got there first, so they still got the same basic stuff as otl I imagine...

Triumphant: A Davy Crockett Presidency A man of the people, David “Davy” Crockett began his career in politics in 1821 as a member of the Tennessee General Assembly before becoming a member of the United States House of Representatives in 1827. Crockett became known for fighting for the fair...

My query is a simple one really, is it possible to have West Florida be made into its own state instead of being divided up and given to Alabama and Mississippi?

The State of Muskogee was a proto-state founded by the British-American loyalist adventurer William Bowles whose primary objective was uniting the native tribes of the southeastern US (Creek, Cherokee, Seminole, basically all who would later be expelled by Andrew Jackson) into a single state...

IOTL, Spanish attempts to expand their colony of Florida further into North America were mostly thwarted by the English and French, flanking Florida through the foundation of the colonies of Carolina (in the mid-17th century), Georgia (early 18th), and Louisiana (also early 18th). Still, Spain...

So what if in Game 7 of the 1997 World Series Jose Mesa had closed it out successfully to win the World Series for the Indians? What would’ve that led to MLB in the offseason of 1997 and beyond (such as with Jose Mesa's friendship with Omar Vizquel and the Marlins' fire sale)?

So I've lost interest in my other two timelines, so what else to do but start a new one? So, during the Anglo-French War of 1627-29, English privateer David Kirke captured the French colony of Québec. However, it just happened to be after the end of the war, so the colony was returned in the...

As the tin says, your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to make Texas a modern swing state, like Florida or Ohio. Extra points if you do it after 1980.

Say General Powell runs in 2000, what would the map look like? Would it be close, a tie or a landslide?

This is a TL where Urban Myer accepts the job to go to Norte Dame instead of Florida in 2005 and the revives the dynasty of Norte Dame.

Could the United States have bullet trains? In what period would this be possible? Could there be trains bullets that linked Canada, the United States and possibly Mexico? Maybe a train connecting Cuba and Florida? A train line of bullets trains that connect California, Texas, Florida...

What would have to happen for Florida to be admitted as a free state, or, if still admitted as a slave state, to abolish slavery before the Civil War?
