AHC: All of non-tropical America settled by one people

Well, if we use the OP title, rather than explanatory post, where he said people not country, then think from the perspective of an outsider, say the Emperor of China, we could then assume to this august person, all European nations look like one people so far as he is concerned from the capital of the world, given their antecedent in the Roman Empire and so viola!

:p
 
This is OTL from from 1580 (Iberian Union) to around the 1630's when the Dutch took Northeastern Brazil and the Antilles and the Carolinas began to be settled...
 
Not France for the same reason not Sweden or the Netherlands; their colonies were absorbed by the English colonies.

French Canada was conquered militarily by the British, but certainly not absorbed into an English colony the way New Netherland and New Sweden were. To this day the large majority of the population of Quebec province is descended from pre-conquest French settlers. Currently, native French speakers are 80% of the population; native English speakers are 8%.

I'm going by the definition of keeping it and cultural propogation; Sweden and the Netherlands did temporarily settle small areas, but the colonies were lost and the culture of the two was completely replaced by British culture, note to I excluded Greenland from the list, as while it's technically geographically part of the America's it's demographically and historically European.

I don't agree with that definition, but you've still got England, France and Spain then (including their cultural descendants), if you want to exclude Russia on the basis of your definition, as well.

As I said earlier I'd initially forgotten St. Pierre and Miquelon.
