What would the USA have been like?

If Germany had won the war the government of the criminal actions would have permeated throughout the world and have begun to plot against each other and eventually that government would have broken apart fighting itself.  Then somewhere a movement would have begun to grow supportive of individual rights and it would have consume the older government.  \n\nAlthough centralized government will come to the fore periodically, over time, that which is supportive of the individual will rise and win.

The world would be a much better place. The US would no longer have those selfcentred presidents, they would speak correctly and we may even get them to write correctly. In fact the US should probably be allowed to vote to rejoin the United Kingdom. They just love the royal family and they all want to come and see the UK.\nBut we need to sort out the taxes before we allowed them back.

I've actually answered this question (well, close) earlier, it is in my string of answers a few weeks ago.\n\nBecause France and Spain were both more politically stable at the time of the landings at Jamestown and Plymouth, the American colonies would not have had the chance to develop their own form of democratic government, or have had to develop a unique form of capitalism by skating around home-country regulations. Basically, we would be just another failed Latin American state, and Canada would be just like all of the failed former French sub-Saharan states.

Yeah, you're right on the money.\n\nFrance and England had been at each other's throats for about a hundred and fifty years by the time of the Civil War.  They were the US and Russia of the eighteenth and nineteenth century.  As a united nation, the US was too powerful an economic force to be the puppet of either.  But as two nations, the US would not have been. \n\nThe Confederacy especially would have needed a trading partner with manufactured goods to offset its agrarian economy.   It really would have become a satelite state of France.\n\nYes, slavery was dying out and the south was the last place in the Western world to allow it.  But the realities of the time would have turned the Confederacy towards France and the North towards England.  It would have stopped westward expansion by the US.  It would have given the Japanese free reign in the Pacific.  Lord knows what the Germans would have done.\n\nTwenty or thirty years would have been too long to bring the Confederacy back to the fold.  1860 to 1890 was a vital time of nation-building, developments in manufacturing, railroad construction, steel and oil mining and more that could not have been done by two separate American nations.

We can only speculate on that. Look into the counter world of this. Each choice you make causes something different to happen. History has the same effect. I believe somewhere that happned. All the worlds are balanced. Okay i got off topic.\nI believe there would be no more u.s.a\n~Blessed be~

Why didn't the United States do a lot of things? Stop blaming one country for all your problems and try to find solutions.

The United States never had any empire full stop.\nThey never claimed other countries as their own.

USA wouldn't exist had it not been for the help from France to fight against the British. Before you slam France you should return the Statue of Liberty back to the French, because they are the ones that made it and gave it to USA.

ooh that is a scary thought, bad enough living above them. makes me wonder though:\nif we did join with the usa, would Americans be able to find us on a map then?\ndo Americans think that as soon as they joined Canada, the states would suddenly turn colder?\nwould Canadians have to start hating minorities?\nwould Americans think that Canadians would want to replace there igloos with wooden houses?\nwould Canadians have to drill holes in our head and suck out half our brains?\nwould Americans have to finish high school and stop sleeping with their cousins?\nthere is just too much to think about!!

We, as the United States, never existed in the 1200's... unless you are critizing the way things are run in this country and comparing it with the time the Magna Carta came out, well i say, we, as the people have more say in the government, for our leader is elected, and our government is bulit on the framework of the US Constitution, which had some influence from the Magna Carta.

The United States of America do doubt about it.

I seriously suggest you choose the answer yourself.\n\nStill, I'll give a few possible choices for you to think through.\n\nThe Constitution\nFreedom of Speech\nRight to Assembly\nDemocratic voting\nDiscovering electricity or harnessing steam, etc.\n\nPlus, the Civil War, as mentioned in another person's answer
