Age of American Imperialism (Blue Wall Broken Part 2)

Emperorship of George C. Watson
George C. Watson was a technoimperialist from Michigan, and the Watsonian Dynasty he founded would guide America in the near future.

Watson began his reign by forming the Imperial College, a board that would vote on policy and replace Congress. One man would represent each one million people in a state. George C. Watson was appointed by the Imperial College by a margin of 278-107. Of course, the matter of Watson being elected was never in question, only New York, California, and Texas voted against Watson's appointment, and once his reign began, it would be three decades before it would stop.

He began his work with integrating the Armed Forces with AIs. Then, he launched an invasion of the recently troubled nation of Canada. In a four-way civil war, the American Invaders where welcomed by the Canadians. A 285-100 vote to start the war passed the Imperial College. Vancouver, Toronto, and Quebec fell first, followed by much of Western and Eastern Canada. Ontario and Mantobia where all that remained by 2048. The 13 provinces and territories of Canada made the total number of states 69 (all territories and DC became states upon Watson's ascension). With the fall of Canada in 2050, Watson began work on Watsioplolis, the new capitol on the border of South Dakota and Wyoming near the black hills. Watson continued his work by federalizing GESCO over the course of a decade.

By the 2050s, Europe was being brought into the sway of the imperialists. The American Empire brought Europe into the Empire. They made vassal states of Upper Latin America, Lower Latin America, and the Middle East. The Sinosphere rushed to respond, attempted to federalize Asia under their banner. Eventually though, Japan, an ally of the Americans, joined the American Empire.

In 2059, China sought to gain full control of Asia, this time using force. An invasion of India was announced, and Indian troops managed to stop the Chinese in Nepal. The American Empire quickly came to the defense of the Indians. Nuclear weapons had been countered out by missiles designed to shoot down other missiles, so a land war was born. The Americans reached the jungle line in Africa, the mountains of Iran and the Caucasus before they were stopped. However, they mowed down Russia. China surrender in 2064 to the American Empire.

New World Order
George IV annexed all of planet Earth during his reign. The incorporated Empire, Europe and North America, was counterbalanced with the Provincial Territories. However, not all provincial territories where treated equally. In 2065, George IV passed the Edict of Salt Lake City, making Japan, Australia, and New Zealand incorporated Imperial lands.

Congress put up opposition to this. The US Constitution and all remnants of the old world where technically still in place, but Congress had lost all her power. So when the Senate and House of Representatives passed a law that would allow them to pick the next president, George IV struck it down. He dissolved Congress and the Courts, and the Congressional House in Watsiopolis and the Capitol Building in Washington D.C. where abandoned for good. The Imperial Edict on Governance was enforced instead.

Death of George IV
George IV has served since 2044. His son, George Columbus Watson II, would be sworn in George V on the death of Emperor George IV. George V's son, Abraham George Columbus Watson, began training for when he would inevitably become Emperor. However, it would soon become apparent that George V could not carry the empire on his own.
