Description
The American Revolutionary War played out more like 2000's The Patriot than OTL.

British forces one-sidedly and casually committed grotesque war crimes - even by 18th century standards. Forcefully conscripting large segments of their forces from the colonial population, sacking and massacring whole villages and towns, and just general cruelty. These incidents, heavily reported on and then embellished in of themselves, unite the colonists of Britain's North American territories against Britain and largely turns most European nations away from Great Britain.

While the masses of North America joining in on the independence movement against frankly horrific British colonial rule united the colonies, it also diluted the ideological foundation of the movement; the enlightenment, with the burning and massacring of people in places of worship to the God of Christianity radicalizing the general population's religious beliefs, and forming an opinion that the British have turned away from Him. George Washington and the other founding fathers' voices were drowned out by the many other diverse leaders that came out of troubled masses to help lead the colonies to independence.

On 1781, the American colonies gained their independence, declaring the United Republics of America with its capital the city of Philadelphia.

In the decades following, the burning memory of the atrocities committed by the British would haunt and stir hatred in the American population; the Americans developed - from the American Revolutionary War - a contemptuous view of Europeans as being imperialistic and godless, and this morphed into what the State Church of the United Republics believes today; the denomination of the "New World Order". The belief that the great American experiment is an experiment in the purity of Mankind, that America was destined to rule all, and that Europeans; previously the torchbearers of righteousness and cultural height, had fallen away from this into hedonism and faithlessness.

What followed was a period of 'hyper-Manifest Destiny' - the Crusade of the New World; the URA adopting statist economic principles, rapidly industrializing with the dawn of the 19th century and expanding westward, assimilating and destroying native cultures as they went and pushed north in the War of 1812; simultaneously assaulting the British territories in North America while the British home isles were being attacked by the French and American navies. This secured the United Republics' hold over North America. Eventually, come the 1830s, the United Republics' armies pushed deep into the young countries of Meso and South America. Following these wars of aggressive expansion, the Americans would reshape the Americas to how they thought it should be; the names of locations were Americanized or changed altogether to fit with the cultural restrictions of the URA.

Great Britain would be worn down by wars waged against her by rival European powers, namely a revolutionary France - led by Emperor Napoléon Bonaparte. The European Revolutionary Wars would end in a total French victory; having fought their way up Europe and holding the Russians down, the French negotiated a separate peace with the Russians. Meanwhile, Great Britain was bombarded into economic ruination by an enraged United Republics Navy.

At the moment, the United Republics is ruled by a tyrannical republican dictatorship; presidency being life-long and with few restrictions. In the Old World, democracy and the principles of the enlightenment thrive on. Although France is an empire, her government is effectively a parliamentary democracy with a monarch as a figurehead. Incidentally, the most democratic nation in the world at the moment is the Republic of Russia; formed from the fires of the French-instigated Russian Revolutionary War, Russia has a largely modernized infrastructure in its European territory. Meanwhile, in the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Persia, the government is devoted to the Global Entente simply because it is beneficial to be within the mega-alliance, rather than be fending for themselves against rabid American influence.

While the French have established the mutually beneficial 'Global Entente'; a political, economic and military agreement headquartered in Paris, the Americans have established the 'Coalition of All Under God', an American hegemony composed of puppet states and colonies of the United Republics.

A random Victorian Era dystopian alternate timeline I made simply for fun. Don't take it too seriously.
