* 1774 - Britain's King George III signs the Quebec Act which forbids French in British North America and the practice of Catholicism in all North American colonies. This provokes the Quebecers to join the Patriot cause.
* 1783 - The United States and the United Kingdom sign the Treaty of Paris recognizing the independence of the US from the UK, with the USA including Bermuda, Bahamas, Quebec, Nova Scotia, St. John's Island, but excluding St. Pierre et Miquelon, Newfoundland Island, and Rupert's Land.
* 1798-1800 - French-American War - French harassment of American shipment and impressment of Quebecker citizens prompts a declaration of war. Americans capture St. Pierre and Miquelon off Newfoundland, Guadalupe, Martinique, and French Guiana. In the treaty at the end of the war, Guadalupe and Martinique are given back to France, while the United States keep French Guiana and the other two islands, plus pay France minor war indemnities, and yield all slaves back to France held in French Guiana. First Consul Napoleon's more conciliatory stance, plus American diplomatic 'nicety' led the two parties to come to an amicable solution.
* 1803 - Louisiana Purchase - With Napoleon needing more cash to fund his European wars, he sells Louisiana, Guadalupe, and Martinique to the USA.
* 1806 - Invasion of Rio de la Plata - the British invade South America and capture Buenos Aires, and conduct raids down the unsettled coast, dropping troops and settlers to claim the land for Britain.

British Loyalists resettled from North America flock to South America. British settlers on Cuba finalize the boundary between Spanish and British Cuba about halfway across the island.

* 1823 - Gran Colombia declares independence from Spain. Given aid by American volunteers from Guyana, it sets itself up along the American model, and also leads a number of Americans to move there seeking more land and opportunity.

* 1840 - Republic of the Rio Grande declares independence from Mexico, and is aided by Texas in exchange for recognizing the Rio Grande border.
