AHC: Fear and Hatred in the Americas

What if North America looked much more like Europe than itself? A continent balkanized into many small states, with constant wars and many gambits, constant Machiavellian scheming.

"One of these days, the great European War will start from some damned foolish thing in the Balkans."

This is more of a question than an AHC: do you think that the Thirteen Colonies going their separate ways could create this sort of situation? What other PoDs could be used to reach this? What are the effects on European policies?

there is a raise the ARW did not lead to Thirteen (14) nations, all of the colonies were too economically co-dependent to really strike out on their own, keep the Dutch in New York/New Jersey and you're in a better place for that break up.
 
I disagree with both. Decades of Darkness actually has fewer countries, and is pretty much an Ameriwank. As for Matthew White's timeline, it may fit the bill (it doesn't say exactly how hostile nations are towards each other), but it was pretty much an attempt to weave every cliche NA country into one timeline.
