hey, all. alot of you have probably noticed that most of my threads reference one of my two big TL projects--either my ASB ATL or the more plausible Anglo-American Rivalry--so some of you might have an inkling as to what some of each TL might look like
now, for this thread, i wanted to ask what everyone thinks is inevitable by the POD in Anglo-American Rivalry--that being September 3 1783 (though its really more just "when the events of the TL begin" rather than "some big event takes place which defines this as being an ATL"). from the second the Treaty of Paris is signed by the US, Britain, and the other powers involved, the butterfly effect commences, but because no actual change is made then, i personally assume that no exceptionally huge changes will take place until much later (to the effect of "Hamilton is elected in 1808" rather than "Jefferson and Hemming's lovechild becomes president")
that said, one thing i want to make sure of before i go much further in actually writing the damned timeline is figuring out exactly what effects would happen anyway considering the POD. i doubt the Americans and British having some antipathy between them would have any effects on Africa at least until the Europeans start investing heavily in the continent, for instance, so succession of monarchs as far away as Persia or keep Emperor Meiji from being born.
basically, what events had already been set in motion by September of 1783 and what subsequent events caused by those would thus happen anyway? another thing is what events would likely not be hit by the butterfly effect soon enough to be affected all that greatly? you could probably imagine the butterfly effect not kicking in until the mid- to late-19th century depending on how far away someplace is from the US and/or UK
