We would all now be speaking German....

Too easy. If they had kept all or a bigger chunk of North America, they might not have been such pussies in the early 20th Century.

 

[NFBuck]

We'd be wearing berets and have fruity mustaches.

 

[Big Papa]

All 7-11's would be ...whatever 7-11 is in french/ and the slurpee would be known as the slurpe'

Russia would control more oil than Saudi Arabia, Mexico would probably still hold the Southwesten US, and Cajuns might actually speak something resembling a real language.

Unfortunately, college football would not exist.

French Fries would just be "Fries" and I'd feel compelled to watch Jerry Lewis films.

Neither would this board or discussion.... And hairy armpits on chicks would be the standard... What sort of hell would that be?
