So does Charles III. I don't know how recent his decision to use
George as his regnal name (assuming he ever actually becomes king,

In Yucatan anglo settlers would be killed the same as the Hispanics.
Look up Caste War, 1847 to 1901.

Over 2/3 of Mexico was empty and ripe for(southern) settlement. No
need to admit the populous areas as states until later(the late 19th/
early 20th century) when there's places like Sonora or Nuevo leon or
Yucatan ready for anglo settlers.

A good argument can be made for the last one. It was modern capitalism that
made possible a great number of improvements in the life of ordinary people,

You could always have something like Public Law 62-5, which limits the

Hey, Lee, that isn't a thought experiment, but a conclusion or at
least only a hypothesis.
Okay, it's 1933, the SA is let loose to terrorize the Jews. The SS
doesn't exist and the Army at this point isn't engaged. The SA are
