Alternative History

Just had a quick idea I wanted to ramble on. Parallel history on the whole Ukraine/Crimea/Russia Crisis going on-

Russia - US

Ukraine - California or Philipines or Alaska or some other territory

Crimea - Hawai'i

Hawai'i has remained mainly autonomous from Sacramento/Manila/Juneau. When the crisis began and the pro-US government began to break down, the US sent in troops to stabilize the Hawai'ian islands. A vote was taken, and over 95% wished to rejoin the US.

Thanks for listening to my ramblings.
