I have often thought that if the British had handled things differently in the 18th century, specifically allowing the colonies either representation in Parliament, or the ability to have their own truely self governing assemblies that a constitutional monarchy might have developed in America.
But as regards Kaiserriech I think the ATL branches off from our own too late for this. Unless maybe the Kaiser or someone were to IMPOSE a monarch on the Americans . . . and that could make for some interesting event chains . . .
Yes, I can't really see any chance of there being a King in the United States - although of course there are other countries in the Americas!
A Habsburg 'restoration' in Mexico would probably be a bit too implausible, but there may be a very slight chance of a renewed Empire in Brazil. And maybe maybe the elites in La Plata may decide that a King would be a good thing to have, both as a common and disinterested focus of loyalty to bind the federation together and to cement ties with Germany....
