After 1945, I think we would see major change coming to the United States of America and the rest of North America in the next few coming decades. Eventually, all the former Confederate States would be readmitted into the Union. The exceptions to this would be Texas (which became an independent republic at the end of the Second Great War), Cuba (I think it would become an independent nation since it was never owned by the USA), and Chihuahua and Sonora (which like Cuba, were never US Territories. I would assume they would remain occupied by the US or would be given back to Mexico.)

Baja California was taken over by American forces during the Second Great War, so I would guess it would either remain an occupied territory, become a US state, or would be adsorbed into California.

The former Canadian provinces, the Sandwich Islands, and the Bahamas would probably become states later on. British Columbia would be renamed to Columbia or Cascadia for obvious reasons. Prince Edward Island would get absorbed into Nova Scotia due to its small size and name.

I assume Alaska would get bought or taken over from Russia. With the toilet economy in Russia after the war, they would need money to survive. Too bad they're gonna miss out on the Gold, Silver, and other elements below its surface if the US ever finds the elements under the surface.

This is what I think would happen to North America after In at the Death. 75.68.122.13 20:12, May 19, 2015 (UTC)Jacob Chesley the Alternate Historian
