Today is currently the 6 year anniversary of the creation of LaFinchy. I just want to give thanks to everyone that has enjoyed and supported my maps on here, YouTube, and my other platforms throughout the years. I'm truly grateful for all of you.
In this timeline, The United States remains neutral in World War One and as a result, many of the repressive laws against German Language and culture never exist. Allowing Germans to further consolidate in the Midwest and Pennsylvania.
World War One would likely last longer and pose harsher peace conditions onto Germany. Motivating Millions of Germans to flee to America. Germans would easily have a much larger influence on American culture making up a majority in some states. German would take the place of America's Second Language as the nation would gradually adopt a Bilingual identity (Trilingual if Spanish is recognised enough).
Throughout the late 20th century, German would be adopted as an official state language in German strongholds like the Dakotas, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Especially with the emergence of Local American dialects in rural Midwest communities founded by Germans of certain regional dialects.
Without Anti-German attitudes developing during the 1910s, Similar ethnic communities like the Dutch, Swedish, Danish, and Czech Americans would fare better at maintaining their cultural heritage among other groups without as much motivation to enact 'English Only' laws in World War One. Leading to a more ethnically and linguistically diverse America.
