Features include: -A lot, but not all, of South America -Some of Europe -???

Well we were having a valid point it was to avoid countries to be colonised by Brits on first place. 🧐 By the way we helped the 13 colonies to break away from the perfidious Albion while still owning the "Louisiana" (about what ? 8 times the surface of the 13)

In point of fact, “Louisiana” was then under Spanish rule.

I'll do it after I finish this banh mi.

On the flip side America is turning into Germany, 1933-1945 Germany to be exact, while hardly any school districts ever offer German lessons.

Ironically this can be largely attributed to the lack of education… :)

Hell, my entire education was at schools that had enough funding to offer music and art classes, and my high school still dropped German the year before I was a freshman.

lmaooo

There is an argument to be made that the US only exists as an independent country is because of French colonialism. Aside from the Louisiana purchase, it’s unlikely that the US would have gained independence from the UK without both French support and British forces fighting the French elsewhere.

Would the British have ever had any colonies like the US without the Norman invasion?.. 🤔😅😁

The Tudors were Welsh, the Stuarts Scottish, the Hanoverians German. The only really French dynasty were the Plantagenets imo.

You think the Angles or the Saxons didn’t get here by boat? Tbf at that point Guillaume du Normandy was only nominally French. Most of the Norman’s and their culture owed more to what we think of as Vikings than it did to France.

Joking aside I think the answer is yes. Gb is a small island with a long history of being invaded successfully or otherwise. The idea that wouldn’t build a large navy and then use that to invade others isn’t that viable.

It’s unlikely the events of 1066 would have have any standing on the empire. It arguably owes more to the individual revolution which happened at the start of the empire building than it does to an invasion 700 years previous.

US, Mexico, Canada all gone
