So picture this, the man behind the Darien scheme, William Paterson, is a merchant in the Caribbean, around this time he developed his idea for the Darien scheme sometime in the late 70s, I propose to you that in this alternate timeline he gets attacked by pirates and surrenders without a...

The Darien Scheme was an interesting and disastrous episode for Scotland. It was an attempt by the Company of Scotland to colonize the Isthmus of Panama to make a trading colony between the Atlantic and Pacific. However, it was plagued with a whole slew of problems, including plague (mostly...

If a surviving CSA built the Nicaragua Canal and the US still built Panama Canal. How different would North America be and How would this effect Global Economy and Politics.

What is this? A timeline where an underrated figure from Rhode Island becomes president. His name is Buddy Cianci. At one point he was considered a rising star in the Republican Party so I got an idea. Why? I got bored at school. How long will this last? Hopefully until I finish it or get...

Inspired by a recent game of Eu4, where I managed to build the Panama Canal as the Aztecs in 1767! Obviously that specific scenario is very implausible, but what's the earliest possible time the canal could have been built? The only rule is technology has to progress at the same rate as OTL.

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...

For the purposes of a story i'm currently writing, I was hoping to get some insight on this. The essential idea is that, at the signing of the Torrijos–Carter Treaties in 1977, President Jimmy Carter is assassinated by hard-line Communist terrorists from Venezuela, Panama, and Cuba. In response...

Using a post 1900 POD, how can Panama be made into a US state?

As Brazil Empire could become the THIRD superpower and power during the Cold War to have a third block (I have the idea of a block that defends the monarchy), how could the Western world be divided into Brazil and the United States, What would be the vision of Americans with the South American...

Special thanks to the users Nivek and MorningDew. “…We shall never recognize any government of the homeland as legitimate, except one elected by the free and spontaneous will of the people; and since the republican system is the most adaptable one to the government in the Americas, we...
