Even with a heavy American inclination towards acquiring more territories, Haiti was still controlled by France, which was said to be alternate America's closest European ally. The only way they could acquire it from France without trying to annex it militarily (bad idea to declare war on your friends) would be to purchase it. I don't see that being very likely, however, as Haiti was very highly profitable for France. Haiti could have still won their independence and maybe asked to join the USA, though I can't be entirely certain they would want to. It's possible, but not certain.

But you’re wrong, so ignoring Hawaii for a moment.
Alaska was sold to the USA because of 3 reasons, 1. Alaska at the time was unprofitable. 2. It was sold because they believed the British would take it. 3. They believed that the Americans would move into the territory overwhelmingly the Russians settlers and doing the same thing they did to Texas.
That’s why in our real life they sold it to us for money the same way the French did to Louisiana. This would still take place in this timeline regardless if the British were present, Hawaii would not be a part of the equation.
Now as for Hawaii, it is not just some vacation spot it is strategically important to national defense and security Hawaii is corridor to the mainland USA controlling Hawaii is vital for us defense and security as well as being vital for controlling the pacific it the USA did not control it then the USA would be under threat.
Now here are the consequences of this timeline.
1. Us control of the pacific and its territory’s have been shattered.
2. Japanese control of the pacific is guaranteed because the Japanese would simply annex the island in the Russo Japanese War.
3. When WW2 would break out and it would Japanese victory is now much more likely as they would now be able to immediately and directly threaten the us west coast and the new pear harbor would be San Pedro and all US pacific territories are cut off from American and if Russia does keep it and retain it then now you have nuclear weapons on the doorstep of America.
Bad move
In addition this was never discussed in any form of agreement in us history nor would it so it’s basically just a OC treaty that has no basis in reality.

We would still take Panama and Costa Rica because we would presume that the Darien Gap was our true Southern Border as it was far too expensive to develop anything in that area that could allow us to expand naturally beyond it.

We might also had taken Haiti and when Jamaica and the Bahamas became independent of the UK, they would probably seek annexation into the Union as it would better secure their societies with the increase in economic development.

[@Grimloxz]

The US would have never given up interest in Hawaii-- especially if it maintains its neutrality and focuses on industry and global trade.

[@josephvaccariello4181]

There would have been no legitimate reason to even entertain allowing Russia to get hands on Hawaii. Russia wasn't already there like we were. If any foreign nation had any claim on Hawaii, it would have been Great Britain. But even at the time this creator claims this would have happened (1867?), the USA already had significant presence in Hawaii. Hawaii had great importance to the USA because America had already forced Japan to open up trade to the west in the 1850s (if that had still happened in this alternate timeline), and China had been opened up to trade with Great Britain and Germany (and other European nations) at about the same time, with America joining in soon thereafter. Hawaii would have been a necessary American stopover in shipping in the Pacific, assuming that America was still interested in global trade. Regarding Canadian ex-pats moving to Australia after the War of 1812, that was also an improbability, as that continent was nothing more than a newly organized penal colony to Great Britain at that time, with basically no infrastructure nor civilization to support such a migration. I doubt that such a large number of Canadian ex-pats would have been enticed to make that trip in 1815. A more realistic notion would be that most Canadians would simply remain and be assimilated into American culture and politics.

I don't think the USA could control Mexico without serious concessions to legitimize the Spanish Language.

If America wanted to "control" Mexico, meaning the populated central band of Mexican territory, it would have to become a bi-lingual nation like Canada is today. There's no way it stays peaceful if the USA tries to enforce English on such a large population in the mid 1800s.

You got a point.
And also, I think that the "Racial Stuff" should have changed in order to Pacify Mexico.
I can see Poles, Irish, and Italians going to Mexico and somehow intermarriage the locals (Specially the Irish and Italians) and by that "integrate" Mexico into the Union. But still, I don't see English dominating Mexico. But people would still speak it as second or third language. (Just like in Scandinavia or the Netherlands, where most people can speak English)
Mexico would be more like another Quebec but people would still use English as an unifying language and would still be somehow oficial. But English will not be part of the dairy life everywhere in MX, Central America and the Caribbean.
But in the way Mexico works, I can see the upper classes trying to "Americanize themselves".

Same with the United States and Mexico following a victory in the Mexican-American War. Sure the United States would have taken more land, but Northern interests would have opposed so much slave supporting lands nor would many Americans want so many Spanish speaking Catholics in the United States.

I feel like this is pretty unrealistic, I don’t think America would have even wanted all of Mexico or Canada. But these kinds of videos are always fun so I’m not complaining

[@RimsonDaone]

This is what the founding founders imagined what america would be, it's like a wet dream but in an alternative universe i would love to live in this 1000 year amereich.

[@eidoneverchoosen1171]

Canada makes more sense not Mexico.

[@mrsillytacos]

@@eidoneverchoosen1171 probably a slave and free states thing. But at this point Mexico wasn't extremely populated like it is today so it might be more possible.

[@Axemantitan]

North Carolina only seceded because Virginia did. NC had more economic ties to the north than with their southern neighbors. They only seceded once they were surrounded. If VA was still in the Union, then NC would have no reason to secede.

[@Espingol]

Could you do a video on what if the Nordic countries united during the age of nationalism or if they stayed united during the Kalmar Union?

[@DeanMonsieur]

It's glorious... Greater Colombia, Seminole state, American Greenland...

[@TheGrandball]

Mexico would never be fully annexed by America the reason we didn't was that the Mexican people were mostly Catholics and were seen differently than Americans the only people who did call for all of Mexico were a small radical minority and Texas would still need to be smaller they lost colorado and Oklahoma panhandle because of the mason Dixon line and sold new Mexico to the us government to pay off their debt

[@TheGrandball]

and the chance of texas getting all that land in the north of Mexico while they are already so large is a small chance

[@Videntis.History]

well, the idea was they are accepted in 1837, so they whole thing becomes a state

[@mrsillytacos]

@@TheGrandball true especially with the amount of debt they had. Reason they shrunk in our timeline.

[@NikephorosCaesar]

A better alternative would have been Polks original plans of annexation

[@Windukind]

this timeline can still be achievable🇺🇸🦅🗽🏔️

[@user-so5ue6rj9r]

Underrated. This is the best video I’ve watched.

[@Classical.Conservative]

A Hamiltonian version of this would be even better

[@TheRavenLord1]

I remember visiting this timeline. It was an interesting visit for sure.

[@JohnDoe-qx1eb]

As a Native of Hawai'i the idea of becoming Russian sound worse than being American it would be weird to think about that timeline but I myself would prefer a free nation instead of subjugation

[@epicethereallord2977]

in this alt timeline us would get more canida from the revolutionary war In The Battle for the Fourteenth Colony, author Mark R. Anderson explores the Quebec Campaign of 1775-1776 so the battle for the 14th colony would have been successful

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

LOVE this style of History ❤❤❤❤

[@jaredtheamerican1776]

I love it

[@ganebriticu6700]

I’m not saying I want the United States to be as big as this, but I want people to look at us as a country of hope where everyone can get. Like it once was.

[@ganebriticu6700]

I know that we’re the strongest military, but strongest country ≠ best country.
Education, health and economy are what we need to focus on now.

[@tpmewto]

@@ganebriticu6700 yup. I think some military cuts are in order. Bring isolationism back!

[@spider--man4524]

Brother, you gotta make more videos based off of this alternative timeline, this is sick

[@georgetsak3469]

Can you do a video that shows what would change in ww2 if great depression never occurred.Probably the war would last longer due to the betterment of the economy of the countries that were involved in ww2 but I'm pretty sure that you could explain and analyse the theory better.

[@mistamunsta]

Better title: America if we listened to the founding fathers

[@user-vd3kw1fo9y]

Much better title😊

[@IowanMatthew683]

Well millions of more people would not have health care coverage and de jure racial discrimination would have likely survived longer.

[@crunchycannoli201]

Thank you for mentioning bleeding Kansas. I was raised in Kansas so we were taught it but I realized that a lot of other people raised in other states never heard of it. It was one of the biggest key events that started the civil war.

[@maximusjackassicus3042]

It sounds like this title of this video should have been "if everything went perfect for the world".

[@jsb6975.ah.crapbaskets]

... Except for Europe.

THIS WAS FANTASTIC! THANK U !

[@ReaverLordTonus]

Honestly, if you were going to do a perfect timeline, you might as well have had the argument of Slavery settled back at the beginning. In our history, when the constitution was drafted, the argument was just kicked further down the road. You could have just had those in favor of abolition having a stronger position, and those opposed realized slavery would have to go if the nation was to survive and be recognized by other world powers.

« It’s the best nation on earth today »
Every other developed country : 🤣😐😅

[@Ian-vu4ij]

He's right ya know

[@randomlyentertaining8287]

And when a people want to be free, which country's flag do they wave?
Hint: It's none of Europe's.

[@spenceraustin8071]

@@randomlyentertaining8287IDK, having free healthcare, a livable wage, free college, strong labor unions, data privacy laws, walkable cities, functioning public transportation, news networks that are prohibited from lying to the public, and government mandated vacation time and parental leave-that all sure sounds like real freedom to me. Those things give you the freedom to live your life the way you really want to. Oh, and as a bonus, the homicide rate in the EU is 1/4th that of the US.
I’ll take all that over being “free” in the US. The US version of freedom leaves us all overworked, underpaid, uncared for, and unhappy.

[@CHRISTIANDAVIWATTERFREIRE]

make a video of what if everything went right for united kingdom,please

[@jasoncrout2373]

I could also see interstate passenger rail being far more expansive and effective in this time

[@austinrevis2217]

"This is still possible"

[@DarthDread-oh2ne]

I have a question about the Austrian succession. What if the daughters of Joseph i had inherited the Habsburg dynasty would we have had a Habsburg-Wettin ?

[@greenknightofwar7024]

Technically the dynasty would change based off who they married. For example the British royal family should technically be the house of Mount Batten because of Charles father, but they chose to keep the name Windsor.

[@BlueSaturnV]

BEST TIMELINE

[@lucasvargasrosa2377]

what if belisarius accepted the offer from ostrogoths and became emperor of west Roman empire ?

[@Sithbuilder1]

Great Video

[@y.r._]

Please also draw state borders over rivers. It's really hard to make out what the actual borders are.

[@Franchiokissteria]

Interesting the Italian question because I'm Italian, maybe today I coud be American. One request: what if Brazil became a democratic superpower after Cold War? A country without poverty and corruption.

[@tuckerholden8943]

The prevention of the federal reserve would've been the best change to ever happen in an alternate timeline.
