Let's say a hypothetical scenario where for whatever reason Liberia tries to a military conquest for Sierra Leone during the American Civil War (like 1963) but it wraps up two years after the Civil War ending with British annexing Liberia. With Liberians not wanting to live under the British a...

If this is too asb then I'll try to move it but for now it sounds plausible enough to leave here. Let's say that the Dutch are more ambitious in the Caribbean theatre of the 80 years war and manage to conquer both Venezuela and Puerto Rico, giving them control of most of South America's...

Let's say one day, Cuba, the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, due to their common heritage, location, and/or for whatever other reason, form union between each other. What would newly united country look like and what would it be called?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antillean_Confederation This idea had been around since around the Dominican War of Independence from Haiti. What if the 10 Years’ War coincided with the Dominican Restoration War and a Puerto Rican revolt and successfully won and unified as a nation. What would...

This is a timeline where that covers a defeat of the US on the spanish-american war and what that means to the world as a whole.

I currently have a scenario in the works where, following the Spanish-American War, the United States aims to create a union of all Spanish-speaking Caribbean territories (those being Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico) under US protection. What would be the hypothetical capital of...

Spain's major colonies like Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippines were granted semi-independence just like the Dominion of Canada? Cuba was already against Spain already rebelling twice in two big wars known as the ten years war and the little war, but make a POD during that time to make the...

How can Puerto Rico Independent and Cuba become part of the unincorporated territories of the united states and in the future state 51 Geographically Cuba is closer to florida. What changes in the United States and the Spanish Empire would be necessary? What differences would that be in the...

Let's say the War of Cuban Independence concludes succesfully before the US has a chance to intervene, or the war goes as OTL but the US decides not to intervene at all. What would relations be like between independent Cuba and the US? And would Puerto Rico be joined with Cuba in a single...
