There it is. A kinda failed attempt at a collaborative TL, but I liked the concept. I've got time, oodles of time, so I'm restarting and going in the same basic direction as we went, but better planned and more realistic. This means more group discussion to boot.
Here's the basic timeline:
-Britain loses American colonies in French and Indian War.
-French government forces the French language and Roman Catholicism onto the British colonists, along with huge taxes, making them rebel. The revolution is successful with British aide, taking everything east of the Appalachian mountains and south of the St. Lawrence River into the Free American State.
-America bans all immigration except from Britain, Scandinavia, the Netherlands, and North Germany (the non-Catholic states). French immigration is banned, along with Italy and Iberia, deemed too much like the French, and all Catholics too. We get a racist and expansionist America.
-Republican revolution in Britain, sending the monarchy to America. Civil wars in the Netherlands and HRE also send significant amounts of Dutch and German refugees to America.
-We get Napoleon-type dude in Britain also expansionist, and friendly Dutch and Prussian governments. They all create an alliance against France, Russia, Spain, and Austria.
-Napoleonic War equivalent time. Britain takes on the French and Spanish in the Carribean (from Jamaica), America in North America, Dutch and Germans in Europe.
-America and alliance win. Britain takes the Yucatan, Argentina, the Guyanas, OTL Haiti and Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and and Lousiana territory south of the 36*30 parallel.
-America takes Florida, Cuba (taken by America in naval battle toward end of war) all of OTL eastern Canada except for OTL Quebec (too many French for the Americans) and basically the rest of the continent above the 36*30 parallel.
-European border changes are up to you guys.
After this, pretty much everything is up in the air. So, how can we make this happen? Who wants to help?
