History[]

Three main events have shaped the USA in the Greater Colombia timeline as different as Our timeline.

The first was the development in Texas, as Mexico managed to crush the rebellion of 1836. By 1838, Mexico and the United States signed a treaty defining the borders between Mexican Texas and the US Louisiana territories. Eventually Texas seceded from Mexico in 1865, but they didn't join the United States.

The second was the Great War of 1862. In this war, the United States and Britain joined opposing parties and the Big Caribbean Game turned hot. At the peace settlements in 1867, the USA got control on most British Caribbean possessions, including Jamaica and British Honduras, while the UK secured the Oregon Territory.

The third episode was the disintegration of Mexico who, after being invaded by different powers during the Great Wars, continued in a civil war. The United States got involved in the Mexican Civil War, and grabbed an outlet to the Pacific at the Campeche Isthmus.
