could Prussia or Austria colonize the american west let's say they buy it from spain/France in the early 1800s. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_United_States#/media/File:Map_of_USA_highlighting_West.svg

Mexico did proposed to prussia to sold them Alta California for 7 million of dollar in 1843 and prussia did was heavily negotiated and having people talking about it in london...but they backed down at the last minute...Man, that's a long way.
Hmm... how would they settle the colony and defend the colony from American incursions (especially once gold is discovered)?Mexico did proposed to prussia to sold them Alta California for 7 million of dollar in 1843 and prussia did was heavily negotiated and having people talking about it in london...but they backed down at the last minute...
That is why they were dealing with the british, maybe a defensive alliance, plus that was before gold, with the butterflies the gold would take longer to be discovered, now as the frontier fo america is at colorado river.Hmm... how would they settle the colony and defend the colony from American incursions (especially once gold is discovered)?
There were six million German immigrants to the United States during the 19th Century, so even 10% of them going to German California would be significant. I think it'd be quite hard to settle, as you'd either have to cross North America or go around South America, or at least until the Panama Canal is built.What type of colonialism would it be would it be colonized like the French in New France with very few settlers or like Britain in the Thirteen Colonies with mass immigration.
Mexico, you've to cross from mexico to california, is not hard but a quite long travel.There were six million German immigrants to the United States during the 19th Century, so even 10% of them going to German California would be significant.

Excatly, specially as the prussia are far more competentI'd say it's possible that America might still ultimately acquire California from Prussia ATL, since there are so many ways this ATL could go, but it's not a given. If they simply avoid pissing off the American settlers and have a somewhat competent administration then a secessionist movement would be dead in the water.
