Scenarios about 'midwest'

The American Midwest region generally encompasses states in the north-central United States, including Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, and North Dakota. This agricultural and industrial heartland played a crucial role in American economic development through farming, manufacturing, and transportation networks along the Great Lakes and Mississippi River system. In alternate history scenarios, the Midwest often serves as a pivotal region where different economic models, migration patterns, or political alignments could significantly alter American development.
