What if the US doesn't get the opportunity to purchase the Louisiana territory?
Would they expand oversees? If the American-Spanish war happens and the outcome is the same as OTL, they could have some territories in the Caribbean and Asia i think, but these events are separated by decades tho. And what would be the outcome for the rest of the North American continent? There would be no Mexican War? So large parts of the current US would remain under Mexican influence. Maybe they could participate into the Scramble for Africa, and found a colony (think OTL Liberia) and further expand into Africa. Thus becoming a global power and the stage would be set for an alternate world war. I would like to make a solid TL about this but i think i need some help for it to work,otherwise it's going straight to the ASB thread i'm afraid. :D
