Quebec, France, and America in the aftermath of a conquest of Canada.

Let's say that America invaded Canada from the British and conquers it.

What would America do with Quebec? How would France respond? Would an independent Quebec be close to France or America?

Not enough info to go on. WHY did they invade? What caused the war? WHEN did they invade? Because for the last 200 years, there's been no reasonl to invade Canada from the US.

For my timeline, the POD is vast, but the basic timeline divergences are the French Republic surviving and stabilizing and no War of 1812.

French-American relations a much closer than OTL, and there is tension between Britain and America over Canada.

In what is essentially World War I, America joins the war on the side of the French, seeing the opportunity to conquer Canada (and British blockades of American ships heading toward France).

After winning such a conflict, my question arises: how would America handle Quebec? How would the French want America to treat Quebec? Would they want a independent Quebec under American control or French control? How much tension would this cause?

That is the background of information.

That is a century of information in the history book left more or less blank. There's no way that giant flock of butterflies can be accounted for without a little more direction.

Without a ton more background on their relationship, I don't see France and the US being that close. IOTL, when the Bourbons were overthrown, the US basically hung the French out to dry, refused to honor treaty commitments and told the Republicans that the money the US owed France from the revolution was owed to the French Crown, and good luck getting your money. This began the Quasi--War when the US and UK were allied in all but name, shared signals between their fleets and escorted each other's merchant ships.

Another question. Which Republic? First or second? Because the US and the First hated each other. And if the second, that means Napoleon still came to power and was defeated. Basically in the first 20 years since the Revolution, I'm seeing more butterflies then I know what to do with. And you've still got 80 years to go. There are so many butterflies here, without getting the background filled in, we'd be complete lost
