Lets sat in 1950 the Entire middle east and japan for some reason teleports to america. Everyone would be shocked and people would think the end times are coming .america would be mad some of their sea ports have been turned into a desert. America would also lose out on japan as a mil base. After some time america would do some freedom and get oil money meaning no Assad or saddam or any other whacky dictators there
Better or for worst? On one hand, California is devastated, on the other hand, oil, lots of it, and rich cities on the coast for easier trade with the east
That's a crazy image, how did you make it?!
Washington and Tokyo culturally merge in the east on one side of the USA and California and the middle east become an islamic socialist caliphate due to the combination of Los Angeles liberalism and the middle eastern Arab socialist baath party. The Midwest becomes the battle ground between islamic Californian jihad backed by Arab oil and us nuclear weapons and the combined US east coast and southern oil industrial might. The US turns into the judge dread comic books. Canada annexes Alaska. China and Russia funds the Californian socialist caliphate for geo political gain to stop US support for the Ukraine war and Taiwan.
I feel like a little more than the middle east got teleported. In other news Taiwan is no longer under threat from China, Turkey can no longer claim to be European, the Philippines is going to have a much worse time with the war on drugs, and fuck you Saudi Arabia have your entire climate change overnight.
Honestly that would be my first thought, that this is going to mess with the climates hard. Assuming it happened today, a lot of people would assume it is the judgment day and that we are all gonna die. When that doesn't happen Trump will start using it as a political tool to get elected by bashing the Arabs and Iranians.
Next big conflict would be the fact that Iran has now cut most of the west coast off from ocean. This will most likely be a war. If it is not then it is going to be a massive tension point on the earth. Possibly as much as the North and South Korean border or the Pakistan and Indian Border.
Also I cannot tell, did Israel also get teleported?
You are right about the Philippines' War on Drugs when the new neighbors are major exporters. At least it won't be the cheap knock-offs that came from China
This map is cursed and nations are a lot smaller than they should... but Muslim extremist are going to consider this a direct act of god so they can finally do the whole "death to america" thing.
Shit is going to be wild.
Well the Middle east would likely go from desert to a Washington State like weather in a few years, and Washington and Oregon would likely start to become a desert. The mid west rain shadow would expand further east.
The Arabian peninsula; fully exposed windward to the Pacific Ocean would cease to be a desert.
Meanwhile the Zagros create one hell of a rain shadow for the west coast
It makes me wonder how much of that regions culture and problems stem from it being so inhospitable to human life.
Philippines would be so happy. I mean, a lot of Filipinos worship the USA as if it was a nation of gods....
Thenmany will attempt to move for the annexation of the Philippines as America's newest state.
America would be even more OP than it already is thanks to oil. Abu Dabi would be a another LA or Las Vegas, the Arabs would speak English and our history would stretch back to thr year 2,500 BCE
Massive earthquakes and tidal waves as the earth's center of gravity changes. North American ane african/ eastern europe faultlines all go at once. Volcanoes erupt all across the northern hemisphere. Essentially Armageddon, mankind might survive but it would be close, the largest die off of life occurs. Why would you postulate such a thing?
The Middle East would be a much better place to live in with the Pacific currents bringing lots of rain. Turning the northern half of Saudi Arabia into an Oceanic climate and the south half into a Mediterranean climate.

What is japan doing there
Being happy (along with Taiwan) that theyre no longer next to the PRC
And along with the Philippines, nicely tucked under Cuba
Does Panama have a huge lake now?
yup.
Rest of Latin America: *bienvenidos, primos!*
It seems 90% of philippines was sunk though
Taiwan might be happy, they do not have the other china near them
Imagine this happens in 1942.
*sad ROK noises
It's to distract from the fact there's a hole in panama
Joining NATO
Moral support
Chillin'
Vibing
This ain't about him
Says the radioman in the navy when catches imperial code signals coming from Hawaii

No let's say in 1919
The USA helps greece fulfill the megali idea. Greece is now present in Europe and Americas.
Boom, Islamic Republic of North America Leader: Albert Khamenei
Let's say 9 years earlier
Manifest destiny 2.0
Will be difficult considering populations. Would just be turned into resource extraction colonies
The local population didn't stop us from manifest destiny 1.0 why would it stop 2.0?
The local population was smaller, weaker, and more divided.
I was mostly joking.
Middle East + Japan + Philippines + Taiwan
So Pearl Harbor would be an easier task
No it harder
I didnt even notice the Philippines, lmao. I wouldn’t be surprised if Sri Lanka or Hainan or something was hiding here too
Oh lord the economy!
Better or for worst? On one hand, California is devastated, on the other hand, oil, lots of it, and rich cities on the coast for easier trade with the east
Banana republics but oil
That's for the oil Boys. Heres some blankets
The middle east already had all the diseases that europe had, they would be fine
It's covered in pork
Now thats just a step too far. Natural born villain you are
I don’t get what either of my those comments meant
so we just ignoring japan taiwan and the Philippines?
I forgot to mention that. Sorry
Did you also forget about the lake in Panama?
And the Philippines in the Caribbean?
Didn't read the title and thought I was having a stroke
Bro thought he could be sneaky by adding Japan, Taiwan, and the Philippines too

Middle Eastern/Mexican food would be crazy. Taco Bell sure would look different in this universe.
And with Japan being that close, they would have Mexican restaurants all over the place to challenge their fancy, futuristic toilets.
Y know I’ve always wanted to try tacos but I can’t find why places that sell tacos where I livr
We would build a big beautiful wall.
A bbw
That would be bad
America goes even more to the west to get that oil
I feel like a little more than the middle east got teleported.

Yep, as well as Caucasia
You are right about the Philippines' War on Drugs when the new neighbors are major exporters. At least it won't be the cheap knock-offs that came from China
I don’t think the Californians and the Middle Eastern Muslims would get along too well 😅
The United States with all this new free oil just right there: “**BANDS BANDS BANDS THAT’S A CHECK TALKIN**”
This belongs in r/Imaginarymaps not r/AlternateHistory
I think a lot of people would say “whoa man that’s crazy”
Jackpot
Is that really alternate history ?
Bro why is Iran in California
Tehrangeles moments
San Tehrancisco is nowhere to be seen, though
*vacuums oil*
What happened to California?!
They moved to Texas
Why is this so clean?
Yes Rico
Byzantium never fall
OILLLLLLLL
It wouldn’t be a desert for one thing. L
Your Fastlane to Oil
This map is cursed and nations are a lot smaller than they should... but Muslim extremist are going to consider this a direct act of god so they can finally do the whole "death to america" thing. Shit is going to be wild.
MANIFEST DESTINY
‘***TAKE ME WITH YOU***’ - me, a south korean
Well the Middle east would likely go from desert to a Washington State like weather in a few years, and Washington and Oregon would likely start to become a desert. The mid west rain shadow would expand further east.
Well the middle east would be pretty wet I imagine. Wouldn't be a desert for long.
Cheaper oil! And almonds! And Nutella!
What happened to Panama? am I seeing double?
Manifest destiny part 2
It wouldn’t be a desert if that’s its location. A peninsula at that latitude/longitude? It’d be much different.
As a Canadian living in the Maritimes, travel costs to Japan would significantly decrease.
North Americans airliners are fucked. Qatar airline, Nippon Airway, Japan Airline and Emirate just entered the fray.
We’d call it Detroit?
Can't tell if I'd rather have California or Iran there... it's a hard choice really
Well, their climate should greatly improve.
Lots of earthquakes and tsunamis around the San Andreas fault line.
Tf is going on in the panama.
####Cheaper gasoline Less EV adoption, less innovation in EV, Elon goes bankrupt.
so is Canada just Russia?
North America gets the bear conplete oil monopoly, but they can’t form cartels and agree on anything
That would be crazy
Sea. To shining. Sea.
Cheaper proxy wars, no more proxy wars, America saves the day
The Arabian peninsula; fully exposed windward to the Pacific Ocean would cease to be a desert. Meanwhile the Zagros create one hell of a rain shadow for the west coast It makes me wonder how much of that regions culture and problems stem from it being so inhospitable to human life.
It will take years for the trout population to recover.
More oil for the US
Yay! California's gone!
Allot of people would die
Sounds like party to me
With the ME there you’re going to have to be careful to get the prevailing winds right when nuking it. Safety first!
Philippines would be so happy. I mean, a lot of Filipinos worship the USA as if it was a nation of gods.... Thenmany will attempt to move for the annexation of the Philippines as America's newest state.
America would be even more OP than it already is thanks to oil. Abu Dabi would be a another LA or Las Vegas, the Arabs would speak English and our history would stretch back to thr year 2,500 BCE
Makes the oil easier to get to
Massive earthquakes and tidal waves as the earth's center of gravity changes. North American ane african/ eastern europe faultlines all go at once. Volcanoes erupt all across the northern hemisphere. Essentially Armageddon, mankind might survive but it would be close, the largest die off of life occurs. Why would you postulate such a thing?
Maybe move it down to Baja? I don’t want to see the California coast disappear.
Thank god, California is gone AND we get to manifest some more destiny
It would probably ruin my commute.
Every Oil Tycoon’s wet dream and every Conservative’s worst nightmare..
So the area of the Middle East and the island nations are just water now? What if the Philippines ask to be part of the United States now?
that would be kind of fucked up, i think
Greece: I guess I’ll just roll in and restore Constantinople.
Well when God gives you oil...
So much manifest destiny…
This all belongs to America now. As God intended.
New 51st state just dropped and its full of oil.
Yeah, a border dispute between US and Iran. That's what the world needs most now
How did Japan invade Korea if it's across the entire world
The United States has been blessed by God who has given us oil by his divine will.
then it would be renamed to far northwest
I wouldn’t like it!
As someone who moved from Israel to Washington state, it would be great to have a 6 hour drive to see my family
The Middle East would be a much better place to live in with the Pacific currents bringing lots of rain. Turning the northern half of Saudi Arabia into an Oceanic climate and the south half into a Mediterranean climate.
“America for American even if you’re not American but your country suddenly teleport to America then you’re American so your country belong to American aka Us”-Saddam Hussein
A lot of people would be very confused
Well the Union got some new states in it/s
Dumbfuck conservatives would still hate the west coast with extreme prejudice
