Let's start with an old AH favorite: a more sensible, compromising Parliament leads to the British colonies in America (13 colonies plus Nova Scotia, Canada, Florida, Jamaica, Bermuda, Lesser Antillies, British Guiana, etc) getting MPs in parliament. Ignoring the feasability of this, here's the question: What effect does this have on 19th century colonization? Would London be as eager to expand west as Washington was? Would the colonists settle the west anyway? Is the impetus for colonization in Africa as strong? Would the industrial revolution spread as fast in America? Would the extra citizens and larger tax base mean that, assuming there still is a Scramble for Africa, decolonization takes place slower? Would more people immigrate to America, or less? Would people in Britain be more likely to not only cross the Atlantic, but settle the Great Plains?
