Establish a monarchy in the America's

What about Mexico? Could the Mexican Revolution have resulted in a Third Mexican Empire?

Well there have been some Presidents for Life in the past. Might you equate one of them as a Monarch?

I don't think there has been a Queen of England for 300 years. Queen of Canada is a separate office from Queen of the UK. Yes the same person holds the office, but it could be a different person. I have often though the last legal separation of Canada from Britain should be to repatriate the Monarchy. Pass over Charles and ask Anne to become Queen of Canada.

Regardless, given our constitutional system, the UK coould abolish the Monarchy, and Canada would still have one. In fact it is almost impossible to get rid of, as Friday's Supreme Court ruling pointed out.

That is a common misconception, look at what her Majesty's titles in Canada are officially, Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom, Canada and Her other Realms and Territories Queen she is, as noted when this Act (which still has force) was passed that " "Her Majesty is now Queen of Canada but she is the Queen of Canada because she is Queen of the United Kingdom... It is not a separate office" this has been clearly demonstrated to retain modern relevancy in the last few years as the discussion regarding changing the laws of succession and all of that constitutional rigmarole has seen it employed.

if the brazilian monarchy survived, would it still be known as "empire"? that word has lots of negative baggage today.

imo, a dictatorship, south america had many of them, is virtually indistinguishable from a strong monarchy.

The Monarchy of Canada is "separate and legally distinct" to the Monarchy of the United Kingdom.

In essence, the 16 Commonwealth nations with the Queen as their head of state are all in Personal Union. Indeed, there's a principle which holds that the sixteen must ALL agree on any change to the succession laws (currently, a switch from male primogeniture to absolute primogeniture is pending Australian ratification only), though of course any given nation is free to say "no, we don't want to be bound to personal union any more".

I think that she's actually a monarch in North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Australasia and Oceania. (With the right minor PoDs, like India becoming a Dominion in 1938 and South Africa remaining in Personal Union, you could get the clean sweep.)

Or somehow restore one of the Haitian Kingdoms/Empires?

They say that, but it is not really total, like I said, it is far more like Ireland pre-1801 than the relationship with Hannover (in the sense of the monarchy, in the political sense, the dominion legislatures have far more power than the Irish parliament did, (post-Poyning's Law). This was seen in why Canada does not have to formally amend the constitution to alter the laws of succession.
