-- Renowned and classic work of alternate history -- One event re-shapes a continent The British General John Burgoyne, heavily outnumbered by American troops, surrendered his army to General Horatio Gates at the Battle of Saratoga in 1777, a major turning-point of the American Revolution. In "For Want of a Nail", however, reinforcements arrive at Saratoga, Gates's men flee, and Burgoyne is victorious. Rather than openly allying itself with the American rebels, France withdraws its support, as does Spain, and the colonies surrender.

From then on the two continental nations find themselves constant rivals, locked in military, political and economic conflict.
