Not Easily Conquered

No Turning Back

"With the power of seigneurs behind them Quebec provided a reasonable amount of supplies and men to the American cause. However, there was no turning back now, everyone knew that. It was only a matter of time."
-Turned Upside Down: A History of the American Revolution by Colonel Tara Winchester USMC (Ret.), Falcon Press, Quebec City, 2000.

As spring continued, Washington headed south to confront the British in New York. The British, meanwhile were trying to think up ways of recapturing Acadia and Quebec. On April 17th 1776, the third battle of Fort Cumberland took place. This time, however, the rebels turned the British back. At the second battle of Montreal that happened on April 23rd, the rebels were forced to abandon the city only to recapture it on April 25th.

This was all watched with earnest in Europe where Britain's enemies, France and Spain in particular, wanted to do something to weaken Britain. However, they couldn't as they viewed the conflict as a civil war. That was about to change.
 
Interlude 4

September 15th, 2015

The situation in Persia has stabilized for the time being. The rebels are in control in the north, the government in the south. However, both sides are refusing to let the United States or anyone else mediate. I just hope this is resolved quickly so that we don't get involved at all. Connie agrees with me. There is another problem though: China and Japan have gotten into a trade war. Japan, being the third largest economy after the United States and Russia, wants to starve China. China is not doing well at the moment. If this keeps up, we will have to intervene there. Although, President Nicholson wants to go there now so that there are no negative side effects on the world economy.

Connie made a speech to the American Economic Forum today stating that it should be within our rights to ask that the Japanese and Chinese cease to do that so that the world economy does not suffer. I think that my bite us in the ass.
 
Question: Does anyone want me to continue this TL in this form? Or should I restart in a new format? I got a few ideas either way.
