mexico

Most Alt-history narratives explore the scenario of Mexico remaining a vast "empire", potentially rivaling the United States in power. This speculation is cool indeed, but here I would like to think about a smaller Mexican State. At the time of its independence, Mexico was indeed enormous, and...

(So, I'm trying to come up with an idea for a concept for a private project of mine, inspired by @Ambassador Huntsman's timeline amazing Nobunaga's Ambition Timeline (Go read it if you haven't), but not using the Gavin Menzies' 1421 idea; I want late East Asian colonization, where Japan...

Re-posting this topic: IOTL, when the US suspended diplomatic relations with the Cuban government under Fidel Castro in 1960 and placed an embargo on it, Canada, usually a staunch US ally in international relations, notably refused to join the US under its Prime Minister John Diefenbaker. In...

I know that there are insane levels of butterfly effect that could happen in this universe, but let's say after the Mexican-American War the U.S. takes the entire North of Mexico (Republic of the Rio Grande, Sonora, Chihuahua) or maybe it incorporated via the Gadsden Purchase or some other way...

I recently read there was a concession granted for a railroad to be built between Veracruz, on the Gulf of Mexico, and Mexico City in 1837. Of course, that didn't happen. How much possibility was there for it to have actually happened, and what would have been the impact if it had been?

Between 1800 and 1900, the Mexican population grew from roughly 6 million to 13.6 million. The USA, however, grew its population from 5.3 million to an enormous 76.2 million. I assume this is a result of instability and lower levels of migration, and my (admittedly brief) research seems to...

So we all know what happened to Mexico in the 1980s to Present : Under the PRI Dictatorship, it became embroiled in corruption and the wars with the Cartels then Vicente Fox and his successor made it worse, then we had the return of PRI with Npeto or whatever his name was, and now we have AMLO...

And actually enforced that law. Law can be national or by states or whatnot, but need to cover entire county, for the most part. Not just cities. I was recently reading different threads on this forum about earlier industrialization and other things and increased literacy is often desirable...

Like it says on the tin. Suppose, for one reason or another, that Mexico doesn't lose Texas, California and everything in between those two places to the United States in the mid 19th century. Would the various Native American peoples be treated differently than they were by Washington as a...

There are hundreds of threads ctalking about the american civil war, and how if it had gone differently, it would have affected america. But, I am more interested in what a divided US means for Europe. OTL, France used the turmoil of the American Civil War to intervene in Mexico, and Spain used...

WI the First Mexican Empire had been able to survive? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Mexican_Empire Perhaps the following alternative is accepted?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Mexican_Empire#Mexican_monarchism Apparently, before Nappy III was even in control many had interest in a European monarch to control Mexico as early as the 1830's. If any European nation (likely France) had done this earlier, what might the outcome be? Will...

One alternate history scenario that interests me is if England somehow colonized Mexico before Spain did, in this timeline we will assume that either Spain shows no interest in colonizing Mexico thus Mexico remains uncolonized long enough for England to have a chance to colonize Mexico or Spain...

I came up with an idea not too long ago and I wanted some input on its feasibility. So, basically. In an alternate timeline, the Spanish do not establish the Viceroyalty of New Spain after conquering the Aztec Empire, nor do they destroy Tenochtitlan, instead, they organize their territory in...

I'm thinking about doing a Socialist Confederacy TL and I came up with a idea for it. I just wanted to know your guys' opinion.

I know that trade between Southern China and the Americas was a pretty big deal for a long time, but what effect (if any) would there be if that trade continued well into the 19th century? Or conversely what effect did the fall of the Spanish Empire have on trade in East Asia? Was the inflow...

So I've been reading Al Grito de Guerra by Roberto El Ray and it made me interested in the idea of a 2nd Mexican Revolution but in the new millennium instead however, I've been having trouble figuring out how once could happen so what could be good election years and starting dates for them...

what if USA "liberates" all 1763 Spainish colonies? Napoleon was never born and Spanish empire survives with 1763 borders in 1850s and are without civil wars but for that reason they don't enact post occupation reforms and have even less industry. American settlers are countered by brutal...

Good day, people of this website. I have a TL in the works rn, and amongst its butterflies is the American Civil War being avoided, though I am trying to figure out the Mexican Intervention that happened the same year the ACW started. What would happen once the Second French Intervention in...

The Mexican-American War was obviously quite influential because it expanded the United States at Mexico's expense, and in this land large states such as California and Texas (which had already declared independence but did not fully control it's present-day territory). What if somehow the...
