You Are Here

You Are Here: The United States controls much of the North American continent. The first major POD is when the US wins the Battle of Lundy's Lane and proceeds to occupy Quebec and Ontario. After the Battle, the United States eventually won the War.

So now, welcome to the Portal Page of You Are Here. This timeline explores what happens after the POD and the butterflies that follow and its effect on nations.

The USA took many, many steps to take over North America (although involuntarily, this is just what happened, since defeated countries slowly had bits and pieces of them added to the Union.)

Also, Empires still exist today, like the Russian Empire. Because of the non-existence of the USSR, several other nations did not become communist, while Poland became the communist world capital and eventually divided between the US and Russia.

This is a live timeline that unfolds now.

Background and Basis of World
There are several PODs in this timeline. The first of these is when the Battle of Lundy's Lane is prompted earlier, with still American defeat, but less casualties and more British losses.

The ultimate major POD follows in Late November/Early December of 1812. A series of chain reactions carried about by Upper and Lower Canadian dissidents, American soldier-spies, and rebellious British soldiers and navy men results in the deaths of George Prevost, Isaac Brock, Roger H. Sheaffe, Gordon Drummond, Robert Ross, and Edward Pakenham are all killed in the fighting or in assassination in the span of ten days. The British scramble to find suitable replacements for the fallen.

The third is the Battle of Crysler's Farm (December of 1812), where America wins. Chasing the British northwards, at Crysler's Farm a British soldier cries that they should stop running in cowardliness. The British are forced to stay and fight, resulting in their loss.

Then there is a Battle of York (1813), which never happened in OTL. America wins here, occupying Upper Canada.

Later in 1814, the second major POD occurs. Lord Liverpool refuses to back down. He does not allow any peace treaties to be signed, so the morale of British soldiers lowers.

Merchants in places like Liverpool and Bristol are angered at this. They are paying wartime taxation and cannot trade with Americans. Many of them move to the French Empire to trade with Americans. Now the War is no longer a sideshow to the Napoleonic Wars. It is now a major drawback to the British War effort. Since British forces are no longer willing to fight, the US manages to occupy Lower Canada. The year is 1815.

Liverpool is elected out and is replaced by the Duke of Wellington, who insists that the British can crush the Americans if they try hard enough.

With the British putting a bit more effort into the Anglo-American War, Napoleon takes advantage of this. He takes his time planning the OTL Hundred Days' Campaign and manages to overthrow King Louis again. However, this time, the Coalition is less ready, and with Britain wrapped in North America, thinking Napoleon is gone, the Coalition is missing one member.

However, Britain is not so slow, and quickly joins the Eighth Coalition.

At the time of the OTL Battle of Waterloo. a good portion of the British forces are in North America. Another good portion is in Europe. The Ninth Coalition is continuously attacking Napoleon.

Six months later, when Napoleon shows up at Waterloo to inspect troops, he is forced to use these troops to attack the attacking Coalition members, whom they defeat using amazing battlefield tactics. After the Victory, Napoleon decides that this is the climax of the war.

The Emperor orders a complete jumpstart to a naval program to challenge the Royal Navy. He is filled with glee when he learns that Horatio Nelson is dead after suffering from a heart attack imposed on him when the Americans took the St. Lawrence River.

He jumped on this chance and completely invaded Britain and Prussia in 1817. They sued for peace, to which Napoleon agreed. President Monroe, however, prevented Napoleon from going off and taking over every single European country. He adivsed him that he ought to set up several smaller states, and that he ought to give Belgium independence. (Belgium would later defeat the Dutch, giving it the present day shape and borders.)

After that, the French Empire was just France and African colonies. It still exists today.

Today, America is the undisputed world ultrapower and master, with Russia a close second and the French Empire just a wee bit behind the Russians.

The special relationship between the US and UK in OTL is shared by the US and France.

The OTL American-French relationship is enjoyed by the US and Iberia.

There is a League of the Three Emperors, between Russia, France, and Austria. The current respective Emperors are Alexander V, Joseph III, and Karl III.

England is occupied, due to its being Fascist under Oswald Mosley after the British Civil War. The UK is Scotland, Wales, and Ireland.
