Baltimore World of Warships Wiki: Exploring Alternate Histories and the Impact on Canadian Borders

The Baltimore World of Warships wiki has always been a fascinating platform for exploring alternate histories, and one particular scenario caught my attention - what if the War of 1812 had ended in a clear British victory? This thought-provoking question led me to delve deeper into the world of what-ifs, and I discovered two intriguing essays that shed light on this topic.

Thorfinsson's essay, which started with a POD (Point of Divergence) in 1793, explored the changes that would have occurred if the War of 1812 had ended differently. He described how the war could have led to a much different Canada and United States, bound together by events from the conflict. His detailed timeline of events painted a vivid picture of an alternate history.

Meanwhile, Valencia's map, which was projected forward to the present day given the changes described by Thorfinsson, offered a glimpse into what modern-day Canada might look like if the war had been won by the British. The essay 'Canadawank' by Dathi Thorfinsson, which won a Turtledove award in 2011, also contributed to this thought-provoking discussion.

As I explored these alternate histories, I began to wonder - would future border negotiations have been more balanced if New Orleans had turned out differently? The battle of New Orleans, the last act of the war, was a significant US victory, but what would have happened if the tide had turned in favor of the British?

In light of these questions, I decided to take elements from both Thorfinsson's and Valencia's visions and create my own timeline using the same POD. While keeping some changes minor, I adjusted certain aspects to fit my own vision, making logical adjustments to fit each character's perspective.

This exploration into alternate histories has led me to realize that even small changes can have significant consequences on the course of history. The War of 1812 was a pivotal moment in Canadian history, and exploring what-ifs allows us to gain a deeper understanding of how different events could have unfolded.

In conclusion, my journey through the Baltimore World of Warships wiki has not only shed light on alternate histories but also sparked curiosity about the potential outcomes of different scenarios. The world of what-ifs is vast and fascinating, offering endless opportunities for exploration and discovery.
