For alternative history - How to get a more diverse North America? So not all speak English, greater cultural differences between countries, etc.
WW2 kinda made it hard but there used to be newspapers in the Midwest in German. You can probably guess why that stopped. Makes you wonder if it would have stayed diverse

If England / Britain wasn't so aggressive for North America, there would probably be Swedish and Dutch speakers around New York, Dominant French Speakers in mid-America and all of Canada, and most of the south west and Florida would be Spanish.
look at more diverse portions of the americas for examples

The Swedes would be in Delmarva/Phila/South NJ and the Dutch in the Greater NYC area + the Upstate save the area around the great lakes

Can anyone make a map with colors indicating this stuff?

Since the Dutch and Swedish colonies were nipped in the bud and the other colonial powers came together to prevent other countries from colonizing America (see: Scotland), it's difficult to say who'd own what.
Interesting side note: the Russians managed to colonize as far down South as California
