  2. Spanish New England

    Likely there’d be less up front conquest if New England’s discovered first. There’s no gold to mine or native kingdoms to conquer and the climate doesn’t lend itself to plantation agriculture.

  3. Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    Personally I think the Soviet Union's reaction might not be so dramatic, they already have to deal with a US ally on their borders in Turkey so another one wouldn't be that big a deal. Particularly when you think that missiles in Turkey can actually hit the Soviet heartland in Leningrad and...

    An early colonization might work. Have a Christian, Buddhist, Shinto, Pagan or Islamic colony set up somewhere in the Americas then lose contact with the Old World. New trade partners have to be found among the natives, which in turn begins a process of mutual influence that builds a Syncretic...

  20. AHC: Alternative Scrambles for the West Indies

    There’s Providence Island, a colony for English Puritans that ended up as a privateer base before getting conquered by Spain. If it avoided its many colonial missteps maybe it could stay English if not Puritan. Maybe Scotland could get something if they targeted somewhere else for the Darien...
