Is there any chance for the Second Mexican war to turn into an early World war I in the Southern Victory Series? What would it look like? If there's a chance, is there a way we could come up with a POD, and the events of such a war?

What do you guys think Mexico would be like if they kept the monarchy? How would the country's history and culture evolve? What would geopolitics be like? How would history be shaped? Photos, maps and infoboxes are welcomed.

It’s been over two years since I’ve left this site. Lots have changed. Anyways I was wondering if during the Cold War there could be a successful movement that creates a unified Latin American state or tries to reach that goal as realistically as possible. Where could be the first starting...

If anyone remembers, years ago I started a TL called 'Never Setting Sun' which involved Canada becoming far more important than OTL within the scope of the British Empire. I had wanted to somewhat parallel the Eastern and Western Roman Empires, but the TL got away from me and it simply wasn't...

Even long before the Trail of Tears, a number of Cherokee had decided on moving out west in the early 19th century, settling down in places like Missouri or Arkansas. But another place was Texas, still in Spanish hands, in the region around Nacogdoches. The Spanish welcomed their prescence...

What if gold was discovered say in 1849? (15 years later than OTL.) As we know because gold was discovered early it allowed for southern migration and eventually becoming a slave state after becoming independent (like our sister state Texas.) Would the Mexican American War have gone differently...

So this is something I've been working on for many years, but some things still just don't feel correct or fit as nicely as I'd like to. I'm hoping a fresh set of eyes will yield some new ideas and workability. Basically, I will be posting various 'sections' of the TL in chronological format...

English Version Hello friends. I am writing an alternative story somewhere else and I wish they were not so ASB. My alternative story is that the United States of America includes all of North America (including Greenland, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Bermuda), Mexico, all of Central America...

In OTL, the Dutch had short-lived colonies in the Americas. However, I’m wondering if it would have been possible for the Dutch to conquer and establish settler colonies in Mexico, Central America, and South America in the 16th century instead of the Spanish and Portuguese.

In our timeline, the Spanish and Portuguese conquistadors engaged in miscegenation with both the indigenous population and Africa slaves which resulted in the racially-mixed population in Latin America today. But let’s say that in an alternate timeline: 1). The conquistadors bring their own...

I’ve lived in the California republic for most of my life and after my boyfriend who is a Scotsman himself moved here he said that the USA was close to annexing California.I laughed at the thought of it after all California has a domain over the Pacfic ocean that’s almost untouched not to...

Well, this is my second attempt at a timeline and will focus on a world where the War of the First Coalition goes quite differently. I'll post the first three chapters and leave a poll to see how people like this. If the reception is positive I'll continue this timeline. Hopefully you'll enjoy this!

In OTL, Yucatan and Texas saw each other as brothers, both fighting for freedom against Mexico. Texas would go on to be annexed by the United States and Yucatan would allow annexation by Mexico in exchange for Mexico's aid in the Caste war of Yucatan. If Texas was never annexed by the US, would...

This is something I was recently wondering about, possibly as a sort of plausibility check thing, but I decided to just do this thread instead. As someone who has an interest in Mexico and Mexican history, but not a great dearth of knowledge in it, was there any point between say, the 1930's to...

IOTL, the main causes for the Mexican-American War of the 1840's were a dispute over the texan border and the mexican government's refusal to sell California to the US for $30 million. But is there any way the mexicans could realize that trying to hold on to California was a pain by that point...

There were a few attempts by Spain to reconquer Mexico (or New Spain, as they called it) between 1821 and 1829, most notably the expedition of Isidro Barradas from Cuba in 1829. All of these failed, despite mexican political division after the dissolution of Augustín de Iturbide's empire, and...

What would be the primary consequences of a Mexican victory in the Texas Rebellion? Would Mexico have been able to stabilize itself efficiently enough to avoid simply losing it later, likely to the United States? And assuming they were able to overcome most of their other domestic issues, and...

With PoD of 1840s or later, make Mexico be dragged to American Civil war. You can choose which side Mexico join. (No ASB)

If the United States were to gradually conquer Mexico and Central America, with at least the area of the 48 contiguous states also included, could it successfully make the people in these regions 'white'? With enough immigration from Europe and the rest of the U.S., I suspect it might be...

What if the british had not suffered or treated better the outbreak of scurvy before the Battle of Cartagena De Indias (1741) that led to them being defeated by a vastly outnumbered spanish colonial force? From what i remember, the british aims in the war were capturing the ports of: -Havana...
