After a long absence, I've got an idea I'd really like to work up: a scenario where the Louisiana Rebellion of 1768 and the American Revolution coincide, and both gain their independance. I put 1772 in the title as a median year, but it can be easily changed to suit my goal.
What I'm ultimately looking at is an excuse for an independent German Coast in which to place a alt-hist conlang of a German-French-Spanish Creole. A balkanized NA with would be a bonus.
Some ideas that might help contribute:
The Anglo-Dutch war go differetly, and the Dutch keep New Amsterdam. I'm wondering if a different outcome of the Amboyna massacre, maybe blaimedonthe Portusese or Spanishinstead of the Eglishcould be a good POD.
Ideas?
