I am investigating this for a possible TL. What would the impacts of a Nicaragua ruled by a southern adventurer have been on American, Central American and world history? I think that the frayed tensions of the nation at the time would have led to postponed annexation. A Southern Diaspora, much larger than its equivalent movements to Brazil in OTL, would have significantly impacted upon the region. This Republic could conceivably conquer all of South America, as well as assisting the French in Mexico. In WW2, I could see it assisting the Nazis, perhaps leading to a much larger U-Boat presence in the Caribbean. And after the defeat of Germany, this new Confederacy could incorporate a fair few Germans, bolstering their already large presence there. A brutal US occupation follows, with ties restored in the 50’s. It would also be decisive in the Cuban Missile Crisis.
