What if the U.S. had successfully conquered Canada during the War of 1812?

💣 What if a single shot in 1812 didn't just win a battle, but created a North American super-state?

The War of 1812 is often remembered as a stalemate that forged Canada's identity. But it all hinged on a masterful bluff at the Siege of Detroit. We explore a timeline where that bluff fails, and a single American sharpshooter's bullet kills the legendary British General Isaac Brock, unlocking the door to Canada.

Witness the birth of a continent-spanning American empire, stretching from the Arctic to the Rio Grande. This new reality forces the U.S. to confront the "problem of Quebec," accelerates the crisis over slavery into an earlier Civil War, and creates a superpower that single-handedly dominates the 20th century.
