Sunday Mornings with Lacour is back? Nice.


They would've lost and Pearl Harbor would not have happened.

I think the South would've worked to strengthen their ties to Great Britain and Ireland immediately and aggressively work on patching up others(France).

We would've been involved sooner had the South won.

We were already sending copious amounts of aide to the Allies by the time of Pearl Harbor. But how would "the south" have prevented Pearl Harbor? Are we envisioning that the confederates control all of the continental US or that we have a United States and Confederate States?

Alright. Look. I just came in here to post to Lacour and pop off a quick, uninformed answer. Figured history buffs would show up shortly. This is clearly getting out of hand quickly.

Two different nations at the very least

Texas and California would probably be their own nations.

No telling what would have happened to the Rocky Mountain region

Only if it led to the Nazis developing the bomb first (unlikely) or caused Hilter not to invade Russia (unlikely).

So no.

During the First World War the Union ally with Germany and Mexico, while the Confederacy allies with the Entente. Germany wins first World War, and Union destroys Confederacy. Second World War occurs as fascism emerges in Britain and France. Germany and United States unite to ensure the rise of these countries does not occur.

United States conquers Canada.

Germany is also able to put down rise of Bolshevism in Russia during the 1920s.

OP: There wouldn't have been an Axis for WWII because there probably wouldn't have been the outcome of WWI that history saw.

There arguably might not have been a WWII.

Had the American Civil War ended with the South being independent, the course of history would have been altered. We'll never know how it would have been.

Forgive me but I thought WWI was the result of convoluted treaties and the rise of regional nationalism in Europe. America was isolated at the time. Why would the independent confederacy have an impact on whether WWI happens?

And let's be honest, an independent South would have needed more than 40 years to reconstruct themselves enough to become a world player. They had virtually no industry and their country was ravaged by war. Hardly a formula for a quick ascension into world politics

He didn't say there would not have been a WWI just an altered outcome. As it is generally argued the intervention of the United States made victory by the Allies assured.

Didn't the Confederacy and the Nazi's have the same position on some very key elements? Specifically, the view on who and who didn't count as human.
