Best: Founding of the East India Company and the economic innovations that came with that.

Worst: disaster year. (In 1672 England, France and some of the German principalities decided to invade The Netherlands togheter. This is known as the 'disaster year' in our country.)

Legitimately wish we never acquired the Louisiana purchase, there's some nice landscapes out west but no added culture. We have every regional culture east of the Mississippi. Would've been neat if the French could've made us a proper competitor though

the '20s were one of the shittiest times in American culture

>>78851445
It was pretty degenerate.

>>78851251
In 1765, the average amount of tax paid by someone in Great Britain itself was 312 pence (26 shillings) per year.

In Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and New York, the average tax was 12 pence per year, or 4% of the amount paid by people in Britain. People in Virginia only paid 5 pence, or less than half that amount.

In the years between 1765 and 1775 Britain greatly increased the tax burden on the American colonists by raising customs duties. This increased the tax burden by a massive 8 pence per head, to 20 pence per year — or 6% of the taxes that people in Britain itself had to pay, rather than 4%. This injustice drove the American patriots to rebellion.

>>78851816
america consistently lacked currency in that period. That was largely the issue and the same issue led to the Whiskey, Shay's, and Fries' rebellions after the revolution

>>78841614
Pretty much this. The Louisiana Purchase was basically New Orleans and a huge swath of Indian territory the French had very little prescence in or control over. They knew they were going to lose it, so why not make some money.

>>78841559
Yeah I just wish North America were made up of more countries with more languages and cultures and shit, like Europe. We have to go pretty far to be in another cunt.

>>78851931

nappy sold it to us the instant he wrangled it from spain, so really, I think there isn't any further precedence for claim

>>78852044
Mexico had no ability to retain California or New Mexico either, the British probably would have taken it in time.

Our history is being fed shit. But from time to time we get a chocolate bar when they refuel the shit tank.

>>78852284
I recently had a totally glorious game of CK2 as Finland and it made me wonder why the real Finland has always been so fucking irrelevant.

>>78852158
This is the truth. These areas were pretty thinly populated when whites got to them. There were Mexicans in California before 1849, but the overwhelming majority of Mexicans in California today descend from migrations after 1950, very few can trace their history to before statehood.

>>78852309
Did you manage to unify the glorious Deer?

>>78852332
>There were Mexicans in California before 1849

80% of Mexico's population at the time lived in the Aztec heartland, there were about 20,000 people of Spanish descent north of the Rio Grande, all of whom were in a state of rebellion (in fact half of Mexico's states tried to secede during the war).

>>78852332

very true, there were no people in those dubious claims by the spanish that mexico stole from them

>>78852439
Or not much anyway.

>>78841559
If you never made the Louisiania purchase, the US would have never been any kind of power, if they even existed long enough to be one. And you would have been cucks to the British, and I know how you cunts dont like to hear that.

>>78852309
Small population and no viking phase. We never established a kingdom and have the "let's expand to the north" phase.

>>78851865
Funny because my biggest regret was how this country handled home rule.

Thomas Jefferson said we would eventually reach the Pacific, it was inevitable. After the War of 1812, there was no other obstacle of significance to stop us.

>Worst
Being subjugated by the eternal Swede
