Prove me wrong, protip: you can't.

The United States would have totally collapsed financially.
Reinstating slavery in central america would come with pretty much full scale revolt from the populace, making occupation an absolute nightmare. Also you're suggesting the US would start the Spanish American war early, so in this scenario you somehow think the US would be able to deal with full blown 100% civilian involved insurrection in all former mexican/central american territory AND go in to full blown warfare with the Spanish Empire?
Granted Spain was nowhere near its former glory, but considering the impact of the trent affair (if it still happens in this scenario), its likely the european powers will back each other up at the very least financially.
If the US conquered all that land and re instituted slavery into it then it would trigger an anti american uprising so violent and so pervasive that the US as we know it would be crushed.
The US would lose all ambition of settling the west for at least a few more decades, Florida would probably be returned to Spain, Oregon and Washington would go to Britain, chunks of if not all of Texas would go back to Mexico, as well as a great deal of California.
If on top of all that the South still seceded, the Union would simply not have the strength to even bother trying to stop them and the US would devolve into two pretty weak nations with Mexico and British Canada as the regional powers.

I didn't mean enslaving the Indians in Mexico or Mexicans, but expanding the system of African slavery into these territories while engaging the Mexicans as equals.

Would this be an achievable goal or would even pro-slavery politicians (who would presumably be arguing for an invasion of Central America/Mexico/Caribbean) be opposed to giving a group other than white protestants power?

>>2253976
Right but you're forgetting that part of the reason the US went to war with Mexico in the first place is because american settlers brought african slaves with them into Mexican Texas. If they would fight a war to resist it there, they certainly would again if the US tried to do it all across Mexico.
This is a totally unacheivable goal.
Well, it could be, but the US army would have to be unimaginably brutal in its occupation, and they probably had the capacity to do that but it would be extremely costly.

>the existence of a figurehead monarch prevents popular politicians from existing
I don't think so tim

>>2253848
Who are you quoting?

He's noting a causal relationship, but his conclusion is wrong. It's because the monarch ceded power long ago and the nation has strong democratic traditions that it resisted fascism, not because the monarch remained as a figurehead. How would his argument explain America, it can't.

Lack of a bourgeois class that was independent of the ruling elite and could invest on arts and literature

Mongols

Having the Islamic center of power being taken over by turkic steppe nomads

It wasn't the actual religion, nothing had changed

It was the interpretation of it which led the basis for a society that shunned the unknown, exploration, and pushing boundaries. It's a problem in many Islamic societies even today. You just can't debate or talk about certain things, even in hypothetical scenarios. You can understand why this environment would not be conducive to scientific or literary advancement

Following this you have the cementing of the region and a long standing tradition imposed by the ottomans, which were never exactly known for their cultural or scientific contributions. They focused their caliphate on expansion and military tradition

And today we see ignorance and violence in the Middle East. But what is not to expect when those were the seeds planted over 500 years ago?

You see, there's two different systems marketed under the label socialism.

You have "means of production are seized for collective ownership" which will JUST you to death.

And you have "economy is managed for the common good, extensive social services, capital remains in private hands"

This second system is more accurately described as social democracy or social capitalism. It works, but you need a lot of money to fund said programs.

Pic related, if somebody tells you that government intervention can't reduce poverty, they're what you call a useful idiot.
