What if Louisiana never joined the United States? In this short history scenario, Louisiana stays tied to France and sits in the middle of North America, but the people living there begin pushing for independence. With help from the United States, they separate from the French, which sparks anger in France and leads to war.

France sends its army, but the United States stops them from landing and quickly crushes the attack. After France surrenders, the U.S. expects Louisiana to join, but Louisiana refuses and tries to remain independent. That choice leads to another war, and with no large army to rely on, Louisiana is eventually overwhelmed and brought into the United States anyway.

Created for fans of alternate history, geography facts, and fast-paced historical what-if stories, this short uses simple narration to explore a different path for Louisiana, France, and the United States. It is a quick history short for viewers who enjoy educational storytime, military history, and speculative history scenarios.
