Thoroughly mystified by the top one. “America colonized heavily by the British with a bunch of cities named after English cities” is just… America again. The bottom one at least makes sense even if it’s absurd (minus the part where the Central Powers cede a bunch of territory to Japan, an allied nation in WWI, for seemingly no reason)
The [first] map appeared on the cover of The Fatherland, a pro-German weekly paper established at the start of the war, with the title ‘New Map of the D.S.E. - Dependent States of England - Formerly U.S.A.’
It was published in response to Life magazine’s famous cover [second pic here] imagining the country conquered by the Central Powers and Japan:
As I always comment, love how both sides of the war agree “oh yeah also Japan your ostensible ally is gonna backstab you and take California”, a totally reasonable and justified fear in the 1910’s for sure.
Why are they agreed that Americans will be put on a reservation in specifically El Paso?

@utilitymonstermash I will observe that Brigham Young (the same guy who made a small fortune selling provisions to the Federal army sent out to capture him) was pretty directly responsible for the creation of the Port of Los Angeles.
