Doubtful looking at the initial mapQuestion will we annex Mexico
Is there any holiday more patriotic than Thanksgiving? 😂If Franklin has his way the national bird of the American Commonwealth is the Turkey.
Though, to be honest, having America’s symbol be a turkey could be a small way to make this America not simply be a somewhat more British United States. And I haven’t seen many timelines on this site where that happens.Is there any holiday more patriotic than Thanksgiving? 😂
I agree. There's no way a country spanning from California to the Strait of Magellan would stay in one piece. Gran Columbia was nowhere near as big and it failed.I expect Colombia to disintegrate if it doesn't get a grip on things quickly.
That is one big country to manage, given the level of communication and speed of travel at the time.
Colombia is definitely bound to splinter as noted, and that was detailed by Oryxslayer in the original project. I don't want to spoil anything, but there will be a French Revolution and a fascinating aftermath, also drafted by Oryxslayer. Next update will either be about the Northwest Indian War or France.
I think your missing one key point here, though. Gran Colombia was never intended to be that large. It never had control of Mexico to begin with, merely a claim.I'd be down with Columbia being able to keep the territory in former New Granada and Peru. It's just the sprawling empire from Mexico to Tiera del Fuego that stretched my suspension of disbelief to the breaking point. I like alternate history borders and a "Colombia" with the capital in Lima is interesting to me. Especially if Miranda is able to solidify his control over the territory the nation holds. Though hopefully South America will be better acquainted with democracy ITTL.
Fair enough. Though I’m still keen on it possibly keeping what territory they currently hold.I think your missing one key point here, though. Gran Colombia was never intended to be that large. It never had control of Mexico to begin with, merely a claim.
