Teddy Roosevelt only came to power because Mckinnely was assassinated. The man hated being Vice-President, at the time it was a place where political careers went to die, he wanted to leave, however, luck was on his side or maybe something a bit more sinister. The Republican's didn't want to...

I want to give this thread a decent chance. Bump.

What exactly do you mean?

Your mission, if you chose to accept it, is to create a European majority in the UAE. Preferably an English speaking Nation.

I've read your work and it's very interesting to say the least.

I think the best time to cease Cuba would have been during the Spanish Civil War, they were willing to negotiate anything during the Adams-Onis agreement and even better if you delay talks as Spain would've been even weaker, the US could have virtually took Cuba and legitimized this by agreeing...

Polk had negotiated a peaceful settlement and the US could not possibly win in a war against the British Empire at the time.

One major factor people are not considering is that after the annexation Mexican's were given the choice to stay or leave, if they stayed they were given US citizenship but property rights would not necessarily be protected. A very large number chose to leave. This would easily have been the...

You'd need a POD much earlier I suppose, this is when Manifest Destiny was still popular. Perhaps during when American-Spanish tensions were very high in fact nearly at the point of war during the 1818-20's period. Have Andrew Jackson's invasion of Florida spark off a war with Spain and then...

This was never that big of a problem (a problem nonetheless) in early America. How bothered would they have been with the "white man" moving in? I'd assume if it were a problem at all the American's would have eventually have to massacre them as they did elsewhere. How difficult would this...

Without a doubt in my mind Slavery would expand. However, would this issue with Native American tribes not be dealt with in the same manner it was? From what I know Yucutan wanted to join the US as a protectorate as the white population in Yucatan was being attacked by the natives to extinction.

Perhaps the US acquires Cuba during the time of the Adams-Onis Treaty or a bit before, at this point Spain was erupting in a civil war, it's empire was falling apart as wars for independence became popular and the economy was falling apart, I do not think having another War with the US was...

My guess is that you would avoid the Civil war and slavery would die out slowly.

Your mission if you chose to accept it... discuss and create an alternate time-line under these circumstances: - The US having annexed Cuba before the Mexican American-war - The US annexed a greater chunk of land at the end of the Mexican-American war

Jefferson was very displeased with the Constitution adopted in his absence, had he not been in France at the time, the US would have had a very different constitution. Whilst at France he drafted his own version of a Federal Constitution, in Article 4 of his draft, called "Rights, Private and...
