What if Louis XIV intervened in the Glorious Revolution? Had it not been for William and Mary, England would not have joined the Nine Years' War, and Louis would have had a staunch Catholic ally on the English throne in James II. Would France have conquered the Dutch Republic, and brought...

It seems that throughout the crises the Stuart monarchy faced, they enjoyed a wide base of support among Irish Catholics. A major expression of this was the creation of Confederate Ireland in 1641, which pledged allegiance to Charles I & Charles II against Cromwell, and later widespread Jacobite...

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to have a Communist state controlling a part or the whole of the British Isles. Bonus points if you get a British Taiwan anywhere or manage to revive the Jacobite succession as a result of Scottish nationalism (yes, I know it's pretty much ASB...
