AHC: North America, South America, and Australia as Major Theatres in World Wars

WWI:

i like the idea of multi-colonized australia for so many reasons, and it definitely makes war there more likely. probly french, british, and how about german lands granted in the 18th century after the help of german principalities given during the 7 years and american revolutionary wars. i guess that means earlier colonization of australia. also, whoever the aborigines side with would be interesting.

a north american battle front only needs the zimmerman telegraph to not be found. mexico joins axis powers and invades USA

s. america is more tricky. argentina will likely join the axis powers because they dont like GB (falkland islands). colombia might also in hopes of retaking panama. make brazil and the US bed-buddies, and then you have someone to fight argentina and colombia on a serious calibre.

WWII

assuming the entente powers win, this probly leaves dissolved german clames in australia. the german population there might give one side some pro-nazi sentiment, especially with those pesky aborigines

USA kicked mexico's ass. although, less american intervention in europe probably made the war in europe last longer, but after a speedy victory over mexico, the US troops over. But a vengeful mexican government would likely re-ally with a similarly spiteful germany. i see something like blitz krieg throughout central america before war kicks off

gran colombia retook panama, those bastards, but after the treaty was signed, colombia allowed american ships to pass through the canal, so no harm, no foul. argentina and brazil were basicly at a stalemate, and the tensions rose to the point where both were itching for a fight.
 
I don't think the W Australia goes fascist angle would work, as I don't see why Britain, Australia or NZ would allow this to happen, without them doing something similar. Outside of a proper war, the Empire/Commonwealth have the military and financial means to cut WA off right up until WW2. In any event, then you have a very different WW2.
 
And finally, in North America, have Charles Lindbergh get a prominent place in 1936's government. America joins the Axis and invades Canada; blam, North America as a major theater.

If Lindbergh gets a prominent place in the government, they will not be attacking Canada or anywhere else and certainly will not be joining the Axis. The America First Movement was isolationist. They did not want to get involved in World War II on any side.

Actually it needs a bit more than that; I believe the Mexican President, after consultation with his general staff, concluded that the proposed alliance with Germany wouldn't be feasible and/or desirable and ended up turning it down. It was more the public outrage that it sparked in the US that made it important and led to the US declaration of war. In order to make the Americas a WW1 battleground you'd need a much earlier PoD than that. You'd need more European powers still having a colonial interest in the Americas or else more competing powers tied in alliances to the European powers a la TL-191.

Yeah, it would be crazy for Mexico to invade the US at that time, especially since the Mexican Revolution was (sort of) still ongoing. No way were they going to drink from that chalice, no sir.
