another consequence (as no need to flee France)
No wine farms in South Africa (!)
Less rugby
No AWB (Eugene Ter'Blanche)
OK, On a serious note:
If there would be no need for going to South Africa, the Afrikaaner community would surely have looked vastly different. It would have been dominated by the Dutch, rather than the mix of Dutch/Hugenots.
I am not sure on this, but inspired by this thread, it suddenly looks as though the Hugenots (French names would depict it) married among themselves, and the dutch among themselves.
I am not sure, ok, but it seems yu do not find (generations back at least) a Botha married to Du Toit or Cilliers, etc.
