I thought of alternate history of what would have happened if the Confederate States of America won the civil war, and they are all bad timelines.

Honestly, I wonder what Lee would have done. He didn't agree with slavery yet he sided with the South because he was born and raised in the region. I'm not sure how he'd be able to live with himself in a world where his side won.

How about:

The Civil War spiraling into a trans-Atlantic war involving countries like the UK, France, Prussia, Russia, etc.?

It would have resulted in a French-Controlled Mexico, possibly a Canadian Civil War/War of Independence, and either a lack of true power in North America or possibly a resurgence of the Spanish Empire.

Course, I'm no expert on Lee. This is just from what I heard of his view on the practice.

Tried worldbuilding, resulted in either no one noticing, or me getting told to void it.
And I've tried doing diplomatic stuff. Got told no or ignored on multiple occasions.

Japan would probably grab the Philippines at some point.

Also, I wonder what happens to Alaska and Hawai'i.

I wonder if he'd instill some Austrian and/or French culture, governmental policies, etc. into Mexico.

Some interesting mixing would probably occur between native, Spanish, Mexican, French, and Austrian influence, having all sorts of effects on the country.

Alaska may have either been taken by the UK or remained Russian. Depending on how the CSA and USA split their border, Hawai'i could go to either, UK, France, Japan, or possibly remain independent.

On another note, it's possible that Spain would either lose everything to the CSA or find a way to take back Florida, depending on who retains Florida, as it's coast was heavily occupied by the USA.

I mean our timeline's WW1. The version we had could've not happened on the scale it did. There were multiple chances of it not happening.

Annexation.

If the Confederate States won AND has annexed the United States, then Abraham Lincoln would have probably been executed and a new president would be elected. Not even a year later, a second American civil war would have started due to the Northern anger against the Confederacy's ideas, probably deadlier than the first one and harsher. The country would have been more segregated and people of different political opinion or ethnicity would strongly disagree with each other, meaning America would have been more unstable. I wouldn't have been born either.

Secession.

If the Confederate States won the war but have not annexed the Union, it would have been lands of European companies and slave trade, meaning the CSA would be too dependent on foreign trade and slavery combined rather than some bits of self-sufficiency and actual work. The United States would have still existed today, but it would be weaker and probably more unstable.

Way I've seen the possible maps, the only major change in CSA borders is them taking parts of Mexico.

Nowadays people will pay attention to Worldbuilding.

Best case scenario is that Germany never invaded Belgium, and the UK never joins in. Thus the conflict is technically viewed as a world war by historians, but it's another war that takes place after it that gets the official "World War 1/Weltkrieg".

In this timeline, WW1 is most likely postponed due to a resurgence in New World Imperialism, mostly in South America. Being able to conquer lands would function similarly to how the scramble for Africa did, with the USA, CSA, Frenchico, and whatever Canada stands being seen as more than measly colonial possessions, and unavailable for colonization.
