Sorry, what's Hail Britannia?

A graphics timeline in the Old Country where the American Revolution never happens and as a result Britain somehow integrates the Thirteen Colonies, along with all the white dominions, into the metropole to create a Beautiful and Attractive Progressive British Empire which spans the world. This is part of a trend of monarchies surviving and keeping their colonies by integrating them with full “democracy”. The timeline’s most damning segment is one in which a former British colony in Africa, which has a black majority, voluntarily rejoins the British Empire.

German-Americans in the post-World War II World
​

In the years following victory in Germany, the Wallace administration, largely influenced by British and French allies who wanted to "destroy" Germany, began the "Morgenthau Plan" in West Germany. The nation was almost completely pastoralized, and allies, many of whom had suffered in both world wars, completely crushed the nation, stealing and pillaging everything, drunk on the spoils of war. As for the Eastern portion, controlled by the Communists (with the exception of West Berlin, which ended up being split between the British and French), similar destruction was brought by, especially as Germans became large portions of the Soviet workforce. Germans, suffering through harsh conditions, began fleeing in massive numbers. Although some escaped to other European countries or Southern Africa, the Wallace administration's "open immigration policies" allowed for yet another massive wave of Germans entering the United States.

Germans in the United States largely immigrated to the same areas their predecessors had, as they joined disconnected families in the midwest. These Germans, largely Catholic in nature, led to a reemergence in German culture that had previously been wounded by the American people during the World Wars. German-American families began propagating their culture, and German-speaking schools were established across the midwest, causing immense controversy in the local non-German populations, many of whom attacked German-speaking schools as "tools of the enemy". The resulting battles led to the creation of "Volksunions", political movements supporting German-Americans and nominating various politicians in both parties for local offices.

However, while the plight of the Germans in prairie and midwestern states was often used by their supporters, urban German-Americans were portrayed much differently. While the Morgenthau Plan had pastoralized much of Germany, the Ruhr area had remained very Urban, and, due to anarchic conditions, had seen a rise in organized crime. The Ringvereine, or "Ring Clubs", began utilizing their "mutual aid" policies to spread organized crime and membership, which had been almost entirely destroyed by the Nazis, but now saw a massive rise. As immigrants began to escape to the United States, many spread the Ringvereine worldwide. In urban areas, the Ringvereine became very powerful, and, unlike rural Germans, became supporters of left-wing causes, largely owing to their roots in mutual aid. However, the Ringvereine battled with La Cosa Nostra, or the Italian mob, and bloody shoot-outs defined local Democratic politics in urban areas.

During the 1948 election, neither Republican Robert Taft nor Democrat Henry Wallace went after the "German Vote". However, with the pressing of Independent-Nonpartisan League representative Bill Lemke Jr., Republican Douglas MacArthur's 1952 campaign was largely based in winning over the "Kraut vote" in the plains and midwest, even speaking at "Volksunions" during his campaign, and posing with Joe McCarthy, who himself was elected largely thanks to the support of German Catholics.

While German-Americans were largely united during their immigration to the United States, division in the community largely rose due to an urban-rural split. In major cities, German-American neighborhoods saw pride wither away, despite the Ringvereine attempting to exploit German identity. Urban German-Americans, largely without the support of German language schools, began to assimilate more and more, and conflicts between groups happened less and less. Still, the Ringvereine is still feared in the United States, and maintains a powerful presence at the movie. In rural areas with German-American identity, however, assimilation was generally minimal. German language schools and, largely thanks to the fact that most west German immigrants were Catholic (unlike their surroundings, which were mostly protestant), Catholic parishes allowed for the German language to thrive, and it remains the second-most spoken language in most areas of the midwest, and most midwestern political candidates attempt to campaign in German.

In the United States of America, few men are as idolized as the late Norman Schwarzkopf. Schwarzkopf, much like Colin Powell, became nationally famous during the post-Gulf War hysteria as both men became extremely popular. Schwarzkopf was offered many potential nominations for elected office in between his retirement in 1991 and the 2000 election, but rejected them all. It was only when John McCain, the political upstart in the Republican Party who opened it up to all types of politics, came knocking, that Schwarzkopf finally answered.

At first sight, the McCain/Schwarzkopf ticket looked strange. Americans had enjoyed a decade of relative peace, with only squabbling left wingers and paleoconservatives complaining about America's foreign interventions. Surely Americans would look at the two angry military men and reject them for the more peaceful and sane Vice President. Not only that, but the candidates were mirror images of each other, both of whom were born into military families and military lives. However, Americans also loved the way they both attacked corrupt politicians, campaign donors, and the politics of the Clinton administration. A fever pitch of support broke out for the Republican ticket, and in a weird race where Democrats won 2/5 electoral votes in Nebraska but lost New Jersey. Although Schwarzkopf was quite popular, his role in the early McCain administration was minimal, as he was largely kept out of most major discussions, and went on speaking tours to promote policies.

This, famously, changed in 2003. As the United States, led by blood-hungry neoconservatives given power by McCain, saw an opportunity to invade Iraq with the "Kurdish angle", many would expect Schwarzkopf, the man who led Desert Storm, to support an invasion. While Schwarzkopf would later admit he had been "fine" with the invasion of Iraq, he would take a much larger stand against it, and as such an official split broke in the McCain administration. Schwarzkopf, feeling it was his duty to McCain, announced his resignation, and while doing so gave a speech against the war that electrified the anti-war left. In the run-up to the 2004 election, the invasion of Iraq became a major issue, and Democrats needed a candidate who could hold the line while not being attacked as too soft on terror. With this, a collection of Democratic operatives aligned together and formed the "Draft Schwarzkopf" committee. Although Schwarzkopf was originally in opposition, a victory as a write-in in the Iowa caucus caused him to rethink his position, and Schwarzkopf swept the nomination for president. During the 2004 election, the former running mates attacked each other on a variety of issues, but Schwarzkopf, running as a nonpartisan leader over a McCain who had been forced to take controversial positions on many issues, ended up winning. Political experts would see Schwarzkopf's victory in the midwest, which had been lost to the Republicans in 2000, as a victory of German-American politics, despite the opposition of the Schwarzkopf candidacy by German-American Heritage Foundation leader Ken Eikenberry. Many counties which hadn't voted for a Democrat since 1940-1944, all of a sudden found newfound loyalty. The result was most seen in shocking Schwarzkopf victories in both Dakotas and Montana.

While Schwarzkopf was originally planning on being a "one trick pony", allowing most of the domestic policy to be held by his vice president Bill Richardson, who was a Democratic party favorite and a major reason for Democratic victories in Colorado and New Mexico, Richardson and Schwarzkopf began to have many high-profile differences. The resulting conflict led Schwarzkopf to reject the Democratic Party's choice for Secretary of State, Joe Biden, and instead went with an "independent" choice in Wesley Clark. Outside of foreign politics, where Schwarzkopf had perused a quiet exit of Iraq with the creation of a UN-protected Kurdistan, he largely governed very similar to Bill Clinton, promoting free trade and general "New Democratic" policies that were opposed by the left-wing of his party.

The events of 2006 would change the United States forever and end the First American Republic. The first was an attack on the Statue of Liberty by terrorists supported by Osama Bin Laden. The attack caused a massive response from Americans, and many wanted vengeance. Schwarzkopf, who was largely opposed to the glorification of war, became a "promoter of peace", and stood against attempts for war within his party. The second was the passage of a massive free trade act among America's Asian allies, which caused an angry response from anti-free trade activists, who had backed third parties since 1992, and caused major national protests. The third was the arrest of millionaire Jeffery Epstein, which revealed that Vice President Bill Richardson had connections to a sex trafficking ring. Schwarzkopf, a strong moral man, called for Richardson to resign the day afterwards while Richardson held the office "hostage", however, Richardson eventually caved. The three incidents caused a massive amount of unrest in the nation, mostly contained within left-wing movements.

Within this unrest, Schwarzkopf's Secretary of State Wesley Clark, who had long proposed anti-terrorist measures, saw a chance to take power. Thanks to major support from the state department, military and intelligence, Clark was able to gain power in a bloodless coup, with Schwarzkopf practically forced into fleeing Germany. Clark's coup was debated by scholars, but his administration put enough of them on the run that it didn't matter. With this, left-wing activists and even some politicians saw large arrests and threats being made, and Clark ended up opening up practical concentration camps.

Although Schwarzkopf was forced into exile in Germany, a nation where he had established good relations during his presidency, he remained largely popular in the United States. However, Schwarzkopf was unable to see his goals of a free America before his death in 2012, with the following constitutional convention largely being seen as the "Schwarzkopf Rebellion", and it was even held on October 6. However, Schwarzkopf's influence was heavy on the convention, especially as his ex-opponent for Vice President and Secretary of Interior Bob Kerrey was selected as Governor-General of the Constitutional convention and then later the United States.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

During the Second Constitutional Convention, the delegates largely feared that one man would be able to gain a major amount of power in the United States similarly to Wesley Clark. As such, they created the "two leaders" policy, with one man being elected by an "electoral college" of governors of each state to serve as Governor-General of the United States every four years, while the Presidency would remove the electoral college system and instead be elected by popular vote every four years as well.

Along with these two positions, the position of Speaker of the House is also held, and there is a "Unity Cabinet" between the President and Governor-General. Although both positions are very similar, the Governor-General is largely focused on states issues, and only can only sign legislation in the "Governor's Council", while the President is restrained to only being able to sign legislation in the House of Representatives. The confusion of such, especially as both men have veto power over each other, has caused a great number of controversy in the United States, especially as the Governor-General is almost always more conservative than the President.

The first people to hold the role of President and Governor General were Rocky Anderson of the Justice for All party and Bob Kerrey, who was at the time the Governor of Nebraska and who pushed for his role to be nonpartisan. The two men largely got along, and agreed that the Governor-General was largely a more domestic position while the President was a more international one. Anderson easily won re-election, but the position of Governor-General was then given to the more conservative James "Jeb" Bush, who has frequently used veto power over Anderson and the more left-wing House of Representatives, leading to questions of whether or not the position(s) should be retained.

[1] Originally named "Governor General of the Constitutional Convention"
[2] No political parties were officially used in 2013 election, as it was basically an Opposition Party primary. Anderson was considered an Opposition Party president but him and his supporters openly went by the name of "Left-Faction" during the campaign.

"The summer of 2020 saw a wave of anti-Catholic acts which ranged from the vandalization of churches and cathedrals; to the destruction and often the decapitation of statues, particularly statues of St Junipero Serra, Mary, and Jesus; Illinois, and Florida. Many of these acts are tied to other political movements, most notably the QAnon movement and other far right groups have also espoused anti-Catholic sentiment. One popular conspiracy is that the three stars on the DC flag stand for London, the Vatican and Washington."
