AHC: French Jamaica

With a POD after 1600, have Jamaica end up a French possession, and as francophone/creolophone by today as OTL Haiti, Martinique, or Guadalupe.

The French never settle in Haiti. Or Cromwell fails with his Jamaica campaign. France has the entire 17th century to take it easily in comparison with British Ruled Jamaica.

Edit: let say 30 years instead of entire 17th century...

In the 1655 expedition, England's target was actually Hispaniola. Only after the Santo Domingo campaign failed did the English, facing disgrace at home, decide to attack Jamaica. If they capture Hispaniola then the Jamaica campaign is butterflied away.

French pirates were already based in west Hispaniola at this time. Perhaps France and England make an accord so that the French leave Hispaniola in return for England's assistance in capturing Jamaica.
