Advance Industrial Revolution by ~50 years

Also, keep English both recognizable as a dialect to OTL, and a significant language (not necessarily the world language like OTL, but at least like Portuguese or Russian). Obviously, a PoD as late as possible is good.

Make the Newcomen Engine (1712) as efficient as Henry Watt's 1769 upgrades. Bam. You have a significant rail system in the U.K. by 1800, nationalistic revolts occur thrice as as much as they did OTL and Africa is eaten by the mid-nineteenth century. This probably butterflies Napoleon, but France is still where nationalism is born.
