Timeline ideas

I was working on one of my timelines, and like many of us have had happen, I had a couple timeline ideas that were completely unrelated. In my head I explored these ideas and I thought I would post them to see what others thought.

1. Fashoda Waltz: The Fashoda Crisis escalates into war and merges with the Spanish American War. It ultimately leads to a British victory in the African theater, and an American victory in the western hemisphere. This war ends in 1900. The Spanish keep the Philippines thanks to British naval support in the pacific. The U.S. annexes New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The results of this war lead to an alternate set of alliances in TTL equivelant of ww1.

2. War to End All Wars: The United States get involved in the great war after the sinking of the Lusitania. The people are against it, but congress and President Wilson decide it must be done. The great war lasts longer because of a German refusal to surrender. The Allies end up excepting General Pershing war proposal for fighting until Germany admits defeat. So in 1920 the war ends with the Allies reaching Berlin and forcing Germany to surrender. There isn't a ww2.


Any thoughts or opinions.
 
The Fashoda Crisis is the most appealing to me, though I'm curious to how it ends up with a US/UK showdown?

If there is no WWII entire Germany must be uccupied, but if the public is against the war why would they want to keep troops there when the (official) fighting is over.

:confused:I'm confused. Wouldn't France and Spain have been allies, which would make the US and UK allies? Why are the US and UK fighting.
