“Take a look around you, at the world we've come to know. Does it seem to be much more than a crazy circus show? Maybe from the madness, something beautiful will grow…” - The United States as of its 250th - Three Titanesses
Three Titanesses (TT) is my crappy little project I've been working on for sometime, combining alt history with some worldbuilding and other silly shenanigans.
The world is locked in a triple cold war between America, Germany, and Japan. (All of whom are huge now) All three are hellbent on getting ahead using both conventional and non conventional means. Only time will tell if Democracy, Monarchy, or Imperialism will prove to be the best.
Da Lore (For America)
The Quebec act of 1775 doesn't pass, therefore pushing Quebec to join the revolution. This pushes other Canadian colonies to join the war as well. Specifically Nova Scotia, St. Johns Island (PEI), and Newfoundland. Once the war is over, Britain is forced to hand over more territory in North America. Specifically everything but Rupert's land, Jamaica, Belize, and the lesser Antilles islands. Over time the US gradually expands to hold a good chunk of the north American continent.
-Liberia doesn't declare independence so America just keeps it.
-British Honduras is purchased in 1842 to help balance Free and Slave states.
-Oregon country is claimed completely in 1846. Britain isn't bothered enough to contest.
-A larger portion of Mexico is taken in the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. The Federal Republic of Central America joins the war on America's side and helps a little bit, gaining Chiapas,
-Rupert's Land is purchased in 1850.
-Alaska is purchased like OTL, though it's very slightly bigger.
-As well as Santo Domingo, Iceland, Greenland, and the DVI shortly after.
-Samoa is completely given to America
-Spain loses more in the Spanish American war (specifically the Canary islands, Spanish Sahara, Micronesia, and the whole of the Mariana Islands), and America keeps Cuba.
-Due to Quebec, as well as the larger portion of Mexico being annexed, the US is overall somewhat less racist, at least in comparison to OTL though the Trail of Tears still happens so there's still a ways to go. (It's really easy to question my optimism sometimes)
-The Québécois end up moving West like their Anglo brethren, settling mostly in neighboring states like Huron, Chippewa, Jefferson, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ontario, and Cadillac. As well, many loyalists end up moving into Ontario, creating a mix of English and French culture.
-The proposed state of Franklin is admitted as the 20th state shortly after Kentucky.
-West Virginia is broken off from Virginia earlier than OTL. As well, more states (Tallahatchie and Chickasaw) are formed in the American South. All for free and slave state balance.
-All these states except Tallahatchie side with the union in the civil war. Although a big portion of Chickasaw is occupied by the rebel scum. Also, a bit of northern Georgia breaks off and becomes the state of Chattahoochee.
-After losing a huge chunk of their North America holdings, Britain puts some more effort into their invasion of Argentina during the Napoleonic wars, eventually pushing Spain to hand it over. Britain gives them a bunch of money and the British Virgin Islands to make them shut up. Spain attaches them to Puerto Rico, then proceeds to lose them after the Spanish American war…
-Britain also puts a little more effort and focus into colonizing Oceania, thus pushing New Zealand and Fiji to join Australia.
-Woodrow Wilson fucking dies so William Jennings Bryan runs and wins in 1912, meanwhile Germany doesn't send the Zimmerman telegram, keeping America out of WWI and allowing the Central Powers to win. Albeit after some silly shenanigans in Russia. Lenin also catches a bad case of dying.
-Later on a revanchist fascist France and a “Democratic” white Russia end up starting WWII with Britain and Germany respectively. The USA is pulled into the war by Spain (Who is allies with France in this TL) when they do a Pearl Harbor style attack on the Canary Islands. America joins the war on the side of Britain, Germany, and Japan and they wipe the floor with the Axis. (Japan is with the Allies by virtue of China siding with the Axis)
-Germany invents Nukes and uses one on Volgograd.
-After the war France is split in half and Russia is mutilated. However Germany and America quickly have a falling out after Germany annexes part of Poland and the US tests a nuke, and a cold war starts between them. Japan soon after becomes a third contender in the cold war after exploiting their new puppets getting themselves Nukes as well.

Happy 250th America
