And be OK with it? That runs against everything I've ever read about colonial societies.
Submarines??? Submarine crews were elite, with much technical knowledge. It seems very unlikely that there would be enough qualified natives to form a significant part of the crew - much less so many that...
In a colonial army, what Dutch corporal would accept service under a native superior? And how would a native sergeant feel about having a white nominal subordinate who is there to keep him in line? In the entire history of 19th-20th century colonialism, there were AFAIK only a handful of...
After the re-election of Roosevelt in 1940, pretty much, unless Germany collapsed first, or made a "white peace" acceptable to Britain. (I have a scenario in which the war ends before the US gets into it.)
As David T. has pointed out, a Gallup poll taken just after the US DoW on Japan showed...
Don't forget virulent Arab prejudice against blacks.
Also, the OTL First Aliyah had substantial financial support from the Rothschild family. Black Zionists would have to operate on their own scanty resources.
I think that's a little too strong. There was a considerable German-immigrant element in the US as far back as colonial times, but this element continually assimilated to anglophone, AFAICT.
The current ubiquity of Spanish is driven by several factors which don't apply to German.
The inclusion...
Any such scenario ha one huge stumbling block: if the US declares war on Japan, Japan will invade the Philippines, and the US cannot defend the Philippines. Thus by declaring war, the US dooms the Philippines to Japanese conquest, and would be responsible for the ensuing hardships for the...
ISTM the key issue is how US support affects public sentiment in Canada. OTL, only a few thousand men joined the rebellion. But that even a few thousand would go so far suggests that a much larger number were distinctly unhappy. At the same time, while a larger number turned out on behalf of the...
Way too gimmicky. The immediate destructive effects of Breckinridge's Presidency (from their point of view) would far outweigh any long term gamble of that sort. For one thing, Breckinridge could appoint Supreme Court Justices, who would remain on the bench after 1860.
Affiliation with the Union or even the Republicans after the secession crisis and the start of the war definitely is no proof of any toleration of abolitionism beforehand. Andrew Johnson was as Unionist as they come, but he had no particular dislike of slavery and campaigned for Breckinridge in...
IIRC, Louisiana still belongs to Spain ITTL. OTL Napoleon seized it from Spain in 1800. Though he left Spain in control until after it was sold to the US.
Item: IMO, Prohibition in the US is never enacted. IMO, it was passed at a moment when government took control of everything in the name of the war effort, and drinking was seen as damaging to that effort.
Item: there would be no Russian revolution (or at least not for many more years). The...
Not in a million years. Maryland is a slave state; With the possible exception of Henry Davis, its Representatives would no more vote for a radical Abolitionist than for a Mormon. Also, 3 of 6 is not a majority, and cannot cast the state's vote.
Data point: USN RAdm Dan Gallery (then a captain) was appointed US Naval Attaché in Britain in early 1941. In his memoir he wrote that his assignment tacitly included learning everything possible about Nazi Germany so that the US could deal effectively with Germany after Britain collapsed.
