Just Imagine America

Just imaging an America that lost the war of independence, an America with the Union Jack on its flag and a completely different national anthem, there would not have been state related problems. As America would be a set of territories not unlike Australia and Canada. The capital and government would have properly been located in New York. The national sports being English football and cricket, America with a completely new profile not a superpower but a very credible nation.

The civil war would have never happen with slavery being phased out much earlier in history. I expect the Red Indian problem would have been not so much of a problem and that there would still of been the terrible cull, but not as bad, the Indians retaining much more land than they do today.

The Wild West, not being so wild, as it was, due to better law control and better gun control. A balance of sheep and cattle ranches, with more tea than coffee being drunk. The law being the same everywhere in each and every territory, policed by policemen and not marshals, sheriffs and deputies with different ideas of how the law should be up held.

This America would have grown within the British Empire into a mirror of Great Britain this meaning a nation with better gun control, with the police having no need of carrying guns on the streets. Citizens being care for throughout their lives.

The benefits to Europe would have been that the World War I and II would have been over a lot quicker due to America being involved at the on start. Russia would have not took control of it’s surrounding neighbors as the Germans would of not advanced very far as the did. The Second World War would have over in next to no time. It doubtful if there would have been a cold war and Japan advance in Asia would have been a British problem to solve, its my bet they would never dropped the atomic bomb to end the conflict. The Japanese war would have been a separate entity to the one in Europe of which would have been over a long time before. This meaning the power of the British empire would of properly nip things in the bud.

Wars such as Vietnam and Korea simply would have not happen in the way they did, properly they would never been part of history. Also the present wars in Iraq and Afghanistan would never happen due to the fact that 9/11 would not have happen either as America’s meddling in a Cold War would not have been a historic event.

I therefore blame the rebels, greedy businessmen and the founding fathers for all the woes that America has placed on the world within the 21st Century, hopefully America will mend its ways in this 22nd century. But so far it does not look good.
