The Oregon Territory had been a subject of dispute between the United States and British Empire for many years, and though Britain had secured near total control of the territory in the War of 1812, a policy of joint occupation was adopted, allowing the territory to slip from British hands, and full under American control, but what if that changed? What would have happened had Britain never lost the Oregon Territory, and just how could Britain have held onto it?

The Canadian-American border would look a bit less like it was drawn by European colonial empires.

As an Oregonian this is really interesting to watch

If Britain kept Oregon then I would be Canadian as I live in Washington :/

You used the mural in the Oregon House of Representatives, I’m the Sergeant at Arms in the House and I appreciate your use in the video, very appropriate!

I like it so much that I’d like to see the 2nd episode of this!!!

The only negative of this video is the map having a hybrid of historical border (+alt history ones) alongside the modern ones.

Always a throughly fascinating your narratives. I have always even as teenager wondered about parallel universe and alternative history. Now in my 50s.

The Oregon trail is more important than we previously thought... God bless that game.

[rmar]

Had Britain retained all of Columbia, I could see the USA annexing more of Mexican after the Mexican American war and possibly annexing Cuba after the Spanish American war.

[Numba]

Wow, it’s interesting how possible something as simple as Britain keeping Oregon leading to an escalation of the US civil war really sounds in this. Nifty thought experiment as always.
Stay well out there everybody, and God bless you friends. :)

[verilius]

You should do a follow-up alt-timeline where Britain kept oregon, *and* supported the CSA in the Civil War :)

I live in British Columbia. I used to work exactly on the Canadian-American border, but always wished we could get the USA to trade us their Whatcom county for, oh, our Quebec.

-What if Italy kept their alliance in WW1 and fought together with the central powers?
-What if Germany didn't give Austria-Hungary a blank check in WW1?

[bkgames]

What if Sweden won the Great Northern war, is that a good suggestion?

[jgr]

"part 2: What if the American Civil War went global?" when?

[kaiserwilhelmii]

How about a 'what if the storming of the Bastille failed?'
