What if Bolshevik regime fall ?

Not so sure I would consider the American war of 1812 as 3 raids...... maybe not a huge invasion but an invasion none the less. Resulting in the president fleeing and Washington being set on fire. Funny how the French always seemed to help the U.S. when it was at war with Great Britain. This time however it was inadvertadly by a little fat French man.

 

The Brits intended them a punative raids, with no intent to hold the ground. At least in the case of DC & Baltimore. I dont know all the facts about the New Orleans expedition. Isolated, and controling the lucrative Mississippi River basin it may have worth trying to hang onto.

 

Interesting how New Orleans was one of the few victories the U.S. had in the war of 1812, and was achieved after a peace treaty had already been signed. The fighting however continued as it took a little while for the word to get back home.

 

The defense of Baltimore is about the only other one I can think of. The loss of Admiral Ross in one of the skimishes seemed to take the steam out of the British effort.

But hey we are off topic!

 

Of the several alternate Russian governments proposed the spoiler for most would be a a greater probability to make an early alliance with Britian and France. Any of them might be less likely to make the fine calcualtion (or miscalculation) of Stalin and trade a nonaggression treaty with Germany for more time. A democratic Russia might be particularly likely to ally with France.

 

Seems logical to me. The French helped the U.S. to gain there independence as a revenge against the British for the The French and Indian War (1756-1763). The Strategy was easy: If we can't have , neither will the English. They won this time , but this was a poisoned victory, as the treasure chests were empty and this was one one the reasons why the Revolution started in France. A second reason was the American example which largerly inspired the French revolutionaries. A thrid reason was that one of the most popular Generals was Lafayette who was a big friend of the U.S.
When Napoleon came to power, he feared that the British might want a revenge and sold Louisiana to the Americans. This would make the new U.S. ally stronger against the English, prevent the English from taking an undefended territory and allow more money to prepare the invasion of England. The invasion did not happen because the English won at Trafalgar and got control over the waves and that Napoleon had to send his army against the Russians and the Austrians at Austerlitz instead. By gainig control over the sea The English could later lauch raids against America.
