[quote=Animaiden]I'm good at posing the questions, not answering them so,
By bad!
Although, seems giving reference to certain books, I gave partial answers because I would probably not be able to suggest better scenarios.
How about

The war would have lasted longer but American victory in such a case might have become even greater if disconteted Canadians forced to feed and lodge British troops keeping on coming there had risen too. USA+Canada - migh sound pleasant for an American ear, heh?

All right, then all Latin America spoke Portugese instead of Spanish!

Completely unaware of that case. If you will be so kind as tell the whole story (in short) we may speculate on that topic. Did it really matter for history where Luther had nailed his theses?

Crusades would have happened, sooner or later, in any case because Urban II only highlighted ideas that came to minds of many Christian rulers of that time. They thought that Saracens had defected Christianity, and Holy Sepulcre needed their protection. It was quite an obsessing idea I should say!
