How would America be diff. if England won the American Revolutionary War?

Question

HELP! REPORT!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

They would have remained colonies. So chances are it would look a lot more like Canada today.
Hard to speculate on stuff like this, ramifications are just huge. But chances are the Indian wars would have been softer (more negotiations - less war). Then again, part of the reason they negotiated with the Indians in Canada was because they needed all the help they could get to counterbalance U.S. power to the south, so maybe not.
The U.S. would still be called New England and would have gotten its relative Independence in the XIXth century. It would still be a member of the Commonwealth and the federal government would be a lot stronger. Because the British system would have remained in place, it would be run by a parliamentary system and there probably would be more political parties today.
Abolition would have happened in the U.S. at the same time as it did in all the British empire, so the slaves would have been freed a lot earlier and the Civil War would likely never have happened - if it had, the south would have had to secede from the British Empire and would have had a much tougher go at it.
The U.S. would have entered the Second World War at the same time as all the other Commonwealth countries, right at the beginning. So the war would likely have been a lot shorter.
Of course, there's no way to really know. This is speculative. Hope it helps.

Answer 2

firstly do your own homework... (-:

although it does pose an intresting question. I don't think it would be as different as people think...The fledgling colonies were always going to revolt against the oppresive(highly taxing) British rule...and the French hating the British as they did would have always sent arms to the colonies to help the revolt(as they did).

Personally I don't think the population would be the same(currently just over 300 million), it would probably be a lot less if the Revolution came around well after...

Another point to consider may be if no revolution came at all..which I find highly improbable...then the American system would be more of a Westminster type of government like Australias based on the British Westminster model, and India's which is like Britains. Also the British would have held onto this valuable resource of the Americas a lot longer than than did with Australia as it is way closer(Australia is a day away by commerical aircraft!!)...Aust signed their own federation of the nation charter in 1901...That being the case, Australia would have definitely benefited in terms of population instead and the British Empire would be extremely powerful. You need to also consider that the balance of European politics shifts to Britain, and therefore increased land means increased army and navy to defend it. Also less British interest in African colonies?! or maybe total control over Africa due the British control of the Atlantic!!? Would this mean an earlier World War 1...? Possibly...

I think it would be a lot easier easier to write an essay on how america would be different in the first 25/50 years after the war, rather than predict a path up until today. As I feel someone could write three books to explore the points I have just brought up...

So there's your advice...learn the history for the 25 years after and show the differences there and not up until present day...also from what I remember from school about your Independence/Revolutionary War it was inevitable because of the greediness of the British(taxes etc) and would have happened sooner rather than later....so keep that in mind.

Lose the first one, and another surely has to happen in the next 20 years(unless the British become more lenient on the colonies), no Boston Tea Party(or whatever it's called-I'm not American obviously) etc etc.

* good luck with...it's an interesting topic to write on.

Answer 3

as well as the different form of laws and punishments, england would hold the power that the united states does now, and much of its wealth. north america might just have been the name for the now canada and united states. there would be no american revolution because there would be no revolution. monetary restrictions caused much of the problems of the era and they had no real idea of the wealth represented by our two countries. when they did, england's power would be such that its colonies would still be colonies. I have a feeling that as the true value of north america was realized, no one, and especially france and spain would have dared to go against england. england would probably control much more of the world than even it could imagine.england would now be much more powerful than it was at the height of their /then power and wealth.
on another note,natives were not treated very well at all by the english and only more by the french when they needed them to fight the english.
everything as it was and as it is, is ruled by politics, by wealth, by power. Unfortunately it is the way of our world

Answer 4

It wouldn't exist. That's for starters.
American culture reflects it immigrant populations. Continued British rule likely would have affected immigration patterns in some way and changed the culture as a result. Conceivably the Brits could have hung onto their empire a bit longer had they chosen to based on the strength of the greatly expanded British economy.

Answer 5

You may be still subjects of England or may have taken similar routes as other former commonwealth nations or have a constitutional monarchy like Australia & Canada

Answer 6

u.s. could be a extra helpful place. If England and u.s. hadn't long gone to war our united states of america would not have long gone down this suicidal process ethnic nihilism and cultural relativism. whilst u.s. is complete Mexican none of that **** will remember anymore by way of fact it particularly is whitey.

Answer 7

There would be less paranoia and the people would have a much broader education. I'll let you work out the details on those two statements.

Answer 8

We would have King George W. Bush instead of president bush.

Answer 9

It would be part of Canada.

Answer 10

Well, we'd be speaking English then wouldn't we!
