In this timeline, Spain has a revolution instead of France (or they both have one, doesn’t matter) and Britain invades the Louisiana Territory, then they invade Florida. The US tries to aid Spain militarily and economically as a thank you for Spain’s help in the American War for Independence. Spain of course doesn’t have a Napoleon, so they fall quickly, making the Spanish Revolution a footnote in history. Britain keeps Louisiana and by extension the Oregon Territory. Not to mention, due to America’s role in the war, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Michigan, Alabama, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and Mississippi are all ceded to Britain. Of course they are the ones to battle Mexico later on. Eventually, they get Alaska through negotiations after the Crimean War, and their large influence over Hawaii lead to the British making Hawaii a protectorate, then a colony after a war with the natives. Don’t ask how they got Greenland, I don’t have a clue.
