its always "what if Hitler/Confederates won the war" and "imagine Rome never fell".ITT tell me something different and fresh
What if the American Revolution didn’t happen and somehow the Americans were kept happy and most of north America remained British.
what if all the other SSR's beat the baltics to independence first, including russia, so Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania were the only ones left and they just decided to stay together as the USSR
>>220022674I think North America would just be split between giant Canada and giant Mexico
>>220022674America would still be like it is today, assuming Britain would consent to letting Ellis Islanders come over.
What if the Americas were discovered much later due to protracted religious warfare in Iberia
>>220022721I feel like there’d be less Italian and Slavic immigrants. The Irish would still be huge and I think German connections through Hanover could happen (there were plenty of Germans that came to Pennsylvania irl before the Revolution), but I think it’d be more restrictive.
What if Russia decisively beat Japan in the Russo-Japanese War
>>220022674Britain would still be the world hegemony, not America.
>>220022714or grand quebec
>>220022740Colonisation of Korea and Japan by Russia. Bolshevik revolution likely doesn't happen.
>>220022714But would there still have been a British India and an Australia and New Zealand? If so, does Pax Britannica start earlier and last longer? Do American regiments join the Peninsular Campaign? Do a American couple regiments end up at Waterloo because they were cooling their heels in Belgium before going home? Does the French Revolution even happen without the American Revolution, or after a failed one? There’s so much that can happen.
>>220022744But does Britain eventually become eclipsed? Does a looser hand and dominion system emerge sooner? Or does Britain manage to stifle American industrialism? Is it even possible to do that?
>>220022757Does WW1 still happen with Russia no longer needing to back Serbia to maintain its reputation and Germany seeing it as a bigger threat?
what if we all died
>>220022770I'm sure that without the war of 1812, expanding westward would be even faster and we'd see a larger population by 1850. I'm not sure how the civil war would play out since slavery had been an issue that would have upset the south even during the revolution days, but say that doesn't happen, our population by 1900 would be massive even without non-Irish/German immigration.and with no monroe doctrine, if Britain decided they wanted pieces of the much less populated Latin America, they could simply take it (all their craziest wars in those days were between a few thousand troops on each side), at least until the end of the 1800's, because I imagine if all the other immigrants weren't let into North America then they'd be going to LatAm instead, meaning you'd see a lot more Italians and Slavs in Peru o algo.But anyways, with this giant population in North America, I'm sure the empire would last much longer and probably expand even crazier across other corners of the world
>>220022744Yeah, but it would be indirect. America/Canada would be like an engine that would make the Empire turn.
White Russian holdout state in Alaska if they never sold it to the states (like nationalist chinese in taiwan)
>>220022965
what if Türkiye never joined WWI
what if the amerindians became trading partners to europe instead of getting colonized
>>220022656What if the Vikings managed to hold on to Vinland, and transport the plague over? By the time the spanish and others arrive the populations would've recovered and disease wouldn't wipe out 90% of the natives. I also imagine Cahokia not collapsing, viking-native hybrid cultures etc. etc.
>>220023329>viking-native hybrid cultureshapa-ly ever after
>>220022656I like the idea of what if more countries beat back Christianization like Japan did. Like what would societies based on different native polytheistic animistic faiths look like. Not in some gay neopagan Hyperborea larper way but instead if "pagan" faiths were integrated into every aspect of modern life and how they would have affected geopolitics over the centuries.
>>220022656What if OP wasn't gay?
>>220022656mary of burgundy marries charles viii..... everything different..... both world wars avoided.... evropeans in space by 1904
>>220022674France and Russia were willing to sell Alaska and Louisiana to America, never to Great Britain.Depending on how consistent Westminster's policy with the Indians in North America is, we'd likely see less demographic replacement without an United States to manifest destiny.
in this timeline i am not a gay chudinstead i am serving my emperor charlemagne the ninth in the gendarmerie cavalry.... which are in this timeline the Fighter jets... pilots....
>>220024076Dunno mate sounds really gay and chuddy to me
>>220022656Years ago I wrote an alt history of the Confederacy and it was literally just a 1:1 parallel of South Africa and Rhodesia.
>>220023912then you'd have nothing in common
