Spain changed it's command sturture to give Mexico more democratic principles while the Americas became a bit more dependant on Britian thus...well as you see....
the spanish didnt give up their claim of the west coast. then the russian parts became part of the british colonies and both countries cut their colonial connections
Reminds me of For Want of a Nail except Mexico dosen't have Alaska. Maybe everything like in FWofaN except North America has a second Revolution and becomes an empire in it's own right.
Not at all. The eight-pointed red star in the middle is a variant of the crosses on the British Union Jack. The blue represents the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, "from sea to sea."
