Nice work! Really shows how different things could have been in the long run.Here's my best attempt.

Turned out really good! That atlas has a few more gems in it too. US border negotiations after Revolutionary War: http://dsl.richmond.edu/historicalatlas/89/?sidebar=text&legend=hidden
Did you check out the text? It provides a far more accurate telling of where the borders were to be drawn.
I've read from a variety of sources that Mexico had plans to demand Lousiana and Southern Alabama (though no mention of Mississipi, which would make for strange borders). It would definitely take a pre-war POD for that to be remotely possible.
The maximum war aims of Germany in WWII with colonial envisions from "Hitler's Table Talk". Please note this scenario would have only taken place in a complete and total victory in Europe and a defeat of every single country who happened to be at war with Germany at the time (in other words, it's incredibly unlikely this entire scenario would have been put in place, rather just parts of it depending on what happened throughout the war and the peace that follows).
Thanks to SRegan for this incredible map!
I'm sad this thread has died. So many interesting things out there.
I think we had someone do those Revolutionary War borders.
The book I used was a little on the older side.Pretty sure the Austrian war aims were to get some land along the border with Romania to shore up mountain passes, but to otherwise not get any new territory. And to cut up Serbia totally and dole it amongst neighbors.
I saw this (pretty extreme) map of some French aims in WWI and thought it should go here

Wait, did they just give the Austrians a half Czech chunk of Moravia while leaving the Czechs with an almost half German Bohemia?I saw this (pretty extreme) map of some French aims in WWI and thought it should go here
