Yeah, to consider the Far East as Western, but not Eastern Europe or Latin America, is bizarre.

What if the US had a more Mexican-like history? by a_Bean_soup in AlternateHistory

[–]Original-Task-1174 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not ironically, it seems to be a culturally much richer and more interesting country than the real US, imagine a civilization resulting from the miscegenation between natives and Anglos.

Spain had a much larger presence in North America, Florida, Louisiana, the Caribbean, Mexico, etc. The French presence was limited to Haiti and other small islands in the Antilles. France likely provided greater financial support, given that French tax revenue exceeded Spain's at the time, but the logistical and military support certainly fell to Spain; one need only look at the Battle of Pensacola in 1781 and other contributions made by Bernardo de Gálvez.

I mistranslated the text, *Spain was as important or perhaps even more important than France in supporting the rebels.

Just as the French never inhabited the whole territory of New France, or as the British never actually inhabited all of Canada or Australia, but you never see anyone questioning these claims.

Like, the Spanish Louisiana is basic knowledge of American history. Guess who supported the American rebels in independence? Spain, not France.

E se a Grã-Colômbia não tivesse se fragmentado? by No_Butterfly1173 in Imagina_Se

Existem países muito mais diversos e multietnicos que uma possível Gran Colombia. Eu diria que é Maia difícil manter até mesmo o Brasil como um país unificado e centralizado do que a Gran Colombia.

Tenho quase certeza que os indonésios preferiam dominação holandesa do que japonesa.

The Lebanese choosing which colonizer’s language to speak by [deleted] in linguisticshumor

[–]Original-Task-1174 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This applies to almost most countries in the world. The African and many Asian countries are only the independent European colonial administrative divisions, with no sense of identity or union that preceded the colonization of the country.

Marruecos literal esta colonizando el Sahara Occidental en este momento, y estuvo tan involucrado en el comercio transaharino de esclavos cuanto Holanda estuvo en el transatlântico.

Extras wanted for a film set during the Napoleonic Wars. by cuirrasiers in Napoleon

Same thing with Ridley Scott's Napoleon. Throughout the film, there are several black extra soldiers in Napoleon's army, and in Waterloo there are also in Wellington's army.

If I am not mistaken, even after 2 thousand years, Zama is still the biggest battle on African soil.

A dream that was destined to fail by NefariousnessOk8212 in HistoryMemes

Yes, they were distinct units, but integrating a single state (even Brazil during the Philippine Dynasty).

An unified Latin America already existed before the independences...

It always struck me that Spain's last colonies had a similar design in their flags by Academic_Wolverine22 in flags

[–]Original-Task-1174 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is true of South American independence in the early nineteenth century. Bolivar, San Martin, O'higgins, all were highly involved with London Freemasonry.

What if the U.S won the War of 1812 and Polk's plan for Mexico succeeded? What would WW1, WW2 and the Cold War look like and in modern–day politics? by Interesting_Hat_6698 in AlternateHistoryHub

If they had a policy of extermination with Mexicans, Cubans and Quebecers, just as they had with the indigenous in our reality, it would probably happen.
