United States directly controls north America?

Is it possible for a timeline to exist that which is the United States and any empire of colonies, commonwealths, associated states, and territories. This government stretches from the jungles of panama to the arctic circle. And some reason I always imagine imperialistic Americas have their capital in Philadelphia, because of the irony of it being the City of Brotherly Love. Also I like the idea of an actual city rather than a planned federal district, built in a swamp, being the capital. Philadelphia here would rival Paris, so imagining by 1920 the Monroe doctrine is seen as a type of manifest destiny for the US to control it's hemisphere, in this timeline they own most of the Caribbean, but the British have Hawaii, the Pacific is their lake.
 
This is possible if Canada is conquered during the revolution then thats a powerblock that can in time take over mexico. Not all at once of course but over a series of wars.

Another option is to have the first world war go horribly wrong.....

At the end of the day though its going to take America generations to absorb their gains and it will probally lead to a less interventionist america until thats all dealt with.

Certainly possible...

Certainly possible... given the chance for a huge war in Europe in the late Nineteenth or early Twentieth centuries, and the possibility of the US joining one alliance or another, or simply stepping in to pick up the pieces, it is certainly possible.

In such a world, however, the liklihood Britain would spend a shilling to try and hang on to much of anything in the Pacific east of the Dateline or north of the Equator is vanishingly small.

Best,
