This TL details global events from 1741 to the present day, with a focus on North America and the growth of the Pacific Northwest. There are three major PODs in this TL:
1) The expeditions of Vitus Bering and Alexei Chirikov are delayed to November 1741 and are subsequently torn apart by a vicious winter storm.
2) Less interest in the Pacific Northwest due to the harsher winters in the area and little success in fur trading.
3) More of an identity is formed with the passing of generations in colonies. Colonists in Oregon begin to identify as Oregonians, colonists in Canada as Canadians (or Canadiens), etc because of slow communications to London / Washington and back.
The timeline is coming soon, I just thought I'd get the premise out
