Liberia annexed by U.S..

Why? Though I give it a "Yay!" personally.

1868 - President Hamlin retires.

Why?

Statehood for Liberia in 1901. Spanish Moracco renamed Lincoln, statehood in 1910.

I do NOT think so. We're just now giving statehood to majority Spanish Puerto Rico (in my opinion, it should have received statehood in the timeframe that you're giving it to Liberia). There's no way Liberia would get statehood this quickly.

Also, what Spanish-American War? And there's no way we'd take Spanish Morocco, much less make it a state*(not big on discontiguous states). It would all be given to the Moroccans.

Though I give a "Yay!" to US Morocco.

1915 - U.S. enters War when Lusitania sunk.

What war? What Lusitania?

U.S.-British intervention in Russian Civil War.

What civil war?

1921 - U.S. joines League of Nations.

What league of nations?

Former German possessions turned over to U.S.

Yay! Though I stand by my "What…" for this, too.

1923 - President Cox assassinated by German Immigrant Adolf Hitler.

You may as well have started with this and just put it in ASB, if it was your intention. I like the idea, but there are too many butterflies given your first POD.

Butterflies should prevent most of this from happening; this isn't TL-191.
 
Bump. But why should the US take a greater interest in Liberia in TTL. I love the idea but could we add a few good reasons for it in TTL?
