AHC: Create the most Americanized world possible

Title. Just in general, make American culture, language and customs even more widespread and common than ITTL.
Why? I don't know, I just was thinking about it one day.
 
One step toward a more Americanized world could be US annexation of many pacific island countries in the aftermath of WW2. It would not do much, but would be something.
 
Maybe a union resembling the EU in North America could accomplish this if American nations, primarily in the north but also in the south had joined. American as in the continent from Chile to Canada.

Something like Anglo-American Nazi War could do the trick simply by wrecking all the other cultures, but that would also wank the rest of the Anglosphere's cultures and Indian culture as well.
 
All interesting ideas. Would there be any realistic way to directly influence countries outside of the Americas in the sense that they take on American customs and/or language directly?
 
Hmm, I'll give it a try:

The trinity test is a dud yet the USA continues its war efforts against Japan via Downfall, taking Kyushu by November in spite of high causalities on both sides though Japan still gets atom bombed by December and that Korea still gets divided by the Soviets and the Allies and peace is made in that month after a Japanese surrender (Japan though gets split between the two blocs). An accidental shootout between the Soviets and the US occurs in Korea when the latter was hunting remnant IJA forces causes relations between the USSR and the Allies to break down faster than OTL's and Stalin gets nutty to the point of preparing for war against the West in the future. The Korean War still happens like OTL's yet has more Soviet support and as a result TTL's Korean War gets out of hand with Stalin unleashing an attack on the West sometime in the end of the year, starting WWIII. The war lasts for a couple of years on a conventional scale with the Allies defeating the USSR thanks to an atomic offensive devastating most of the USSR's cities and the communist regime overthrown by its people. Peace is made around 1955 and the US-led UN is the sole power on the planet, overtime the world becomes more and more of the US oyster and many of the cultures become more and more American like to the point of many people advocating for a "world state"....

Most of them were annexed by the US and nations like Micronesia are still satellite states of the US even if they're nominally independent (see the Compact of Free Association).

It's very hard to make an American Union since the US won't want to give so much up to the rest of the Americas (NAFTA was hard enough) and the rest of the Americas won't want to be dominated by the US. And it still wouldn't make the US particularly dominant culturally or get people in Latin America speaking English (much more than they already do OTL).
 
More successful campaigns In europe + Asia, to push the iron curtain farther back than OTL, then embark on a military conflict against the soviets, before 1948, before the soviets have nukes, then have the US expand territorially into Asia, make the phillipines a state and fully integrate them, do this with other potential US colonies, i.e. US indonesia? US borneo, US brunei? After a few decades, eastern asia becomes like Japan and the Phillies, all americanified.

You guys are also forgetting that we can make a POD farther back, like 1800's farther back, and have the US conquer all of North America, colonize alot of the Pacific, rock ww1 and ww2 even better than OTL, and cut up the USSR before they get nukes.
 
Start further back in the 1700's. Have Nova Scotia and Newfoundland join the other colonies in the Revolutionary War. Then have the US take over the rest of Canada in the War of 1812, and half of Mexico in the Mexican-American war. Again in the Spanish-American war take over all of the Spanish Caribbean; especially Cuba. Etc. Essentially, in every war America steamrolls over the opposition, and doesn't surrender any taken territory, and squeezes the opposition for every concession possible. Ameriwank.

Depending on your definition of "Americanized" maybe. But you can't integrate the tens of millions of Filipinos without fundamentally changing American culture.
 
Include protections for US media IP in the provisions of the Marshal Plan to the effect that those who accepted the aid would be unable to set local content quotas until copyright expired. That was what? 50 years at the time? The ol House of Mouse has shown that doesn't mean anything. Anyway, with heaps of cheap US content that only needs to be dubbed we can strangle large chunks of Europe's movie and TV industry in the cradle.

I mean, no interaction between two cultures lets one side get out without any effect. But, if integration occurs smoothly enough, yes American culture is shifted but not that much, and the integrated are, well, integrated. 10 million in one go is a hell of a cultural shift, though. American culture should still be somewhat recognizable, even with new words from other languages and new superficial customs the "American Spirit" as it were should remain intact.

Oooo sneaky sneaky. I like it.
If they can ONLY watch American shows, see American ads and see American things, well you know the saying about the duck.

Honestly, I'm surprised that this didn't happen OTL. The US easily could have forced West Germany into accepting that and accepting a highly advantageous free-trade agreement.
