  1. Mexico keeps its original borders. What happens to the natives there?

    Like it says on the tin. Suppose, for one reason or another, that Mexico doesn't lose Texas, California and everything in between those two places to the United States in the mid 19th century. Would the various Native American peoples be treated differently than they were by Washington as a...
  2. To what degree was there a Californio middle class in the early 1840s?

    This is in regards to the idea of a California somehow developing with the in-power class of the early 1840s remaining in power and guiding the development of the area over the next few decades, rather than the US goverment, newer immigrants, or even the power players in Mexico City. I'm not...
  3. American politics without the Mexican-American War?

    Suppose that Mexico has an easier time in the first few years after its independence (several PODs can be used for that, the best one probably being Vicente Guerrero accepting his defeat in the 1828 presidential election instead of launching a coup) to the point it is strong enough to avoid the...

    At Heaven's Command: A Graphic TL

  5. AHC/WI: Mexican SoCal

    The challenge here is to help Mexico maintain her control over SoCal (but not NorCal) after the Mexican-American War. What are the ramifications of a Mexican Los Angeles and San Diego, and a Mexican Tucson/Nogales if Mexican SoCal butterflies away the Gadsen Purchase? Where will the film...

    AHC/WI: British Mediation Prevents Mexican-American War

    Say that Britain in the 1840s has strategic or economic interests in California and sees it as best for them to prevent a wider, violent conflict between the U.S. and Mexico over the region. Could they possibly act as a mediator over the situation and prevent the Mexican-American War? Could...
  7. Effects of Spain keeping Mexico on the expansion of USA

    Let's say that the peninsular war never happened, Spain wasn't destroyed economically, politically and it's millitary wasn't in ruins and it kept it's colonies in the new world. How does this effect New Spain(Mexico) and US specifically? Keep in mind that this means New Spain controls Texas...
  8. USA without a Pacific coast

    Hi everyone! This is my first time posting here, but I´d like to see your thoughts on this scenario, which I think seems more or less pretty feasible. Though the POD is pre 1900, many of the questions I ask are related to post 1900 consequences, so not sure if this is in the right place...
