I understand that this is fantasy, but it is reeeeally hard to believe this map. In reality, the U.S. actually conquered the entirety of Mexico; however, the US allowed Mexico to keep about half of its land (modern day Mexico), because the majority of the U.S. government was frankly racist, and it did not want a huge influx of Mexicans (and Catholics) to become part of the USA. Remember that the US was primarily White, Anglo-Saxon Protestant, and the KKK and others hated Catholics and the Papacy at least as much as it hated anyone else. The Irish Catholics just began to arrive in the US around the time of the Mexican War, and Italian Catholics arrived later. So, to lessen the amount of Catholics and Mexicans from the citizenry, the US only kept the northern half of Mexico, and left the more populated Southern half to the state of Mexico. I could believe the US taking Caribbean islands, big and small, to exploit the people and resources. THAT I can see happening. Besides that, the US had its hands full during Reconstruction post Civil War, settling a VAST western frontier, and establishing the local governments and infrastructure therein. Most likely, in this fantasy setting, we would be seeing the “Yankee Imperialism” that actually occurred in reality, where Central American and South American states would have sovereign governments; yet, they would be bullied by the US to trade in a way that materially and financially benefitted the U.S. in the most unfair way imaginable. Perhaps this fantasy map truly demonstrates the extent of Yankee Imperialism, where Central American and South American areas in “Union Blue” are a mix of mostly sovereign puppet states, and territories (like Puerto Rico in reality) that are protected by the U.S.’s military, but are NOT what the U.S. Constitution calls “states” of the USA, who get representation and voting power in the US Congress.
