Alternate USA/Canada
1. France never makes the louissiana purchase and Quebec remains French.
In this scenario. France never gives up its claims of the mid west to the US and Instead fights for a new French speaking democratic country away from European war, politics and theocracy.
Because of this, the Mexico/US war never takes place with California, Arizona, New Mexico and southern Texas becoming parts of Mexico.
The northern states are split between Canada and Louisiana. With Louisiana having the lower states and Canada gaining the northern 3 states.
The United states becomes much less powerful and trades industrial goods for agriculture.
With the French helping to fight against the British rule, the two nations become allies in world war two in helping to fight against the Nazis.
The United states is much closer to Europe culturally through France and liberalizes along with western European countries. Post industrialising the United states becomes an economic trading power with companies such as Ford shipping to Europe, growing the economies. The US culture is much closer to that of the north eastern states such as connecticet.
Quebec starts a revolution in protest of being part of the British commonwealth upon Canadian independence. With the Quebec nationalist party forming a new republican government rather than a parliamentary system.
Numerous riots ensue, though the consensus of the population is for an independent french nation.
Eventually the state is recognized and voted into power.
