Hello. I would like some advice and opinions (I only have a vague concept in my head) on a timeline I am thinking about. The goal is essentially to move the British nobility and capital to the Americas and allow it to conquer both South and North America.
A hypothetical timeline:
-Spanish Armada successfully invades England in 1588. England becomes a de-facto vassal of Spain and someone like Isabella Clara Eugenia is appointed as Queen.
-British protestants and nobility flee/expelled from the country for the new world, lead by Francis Walsingham and William Cecil, who establish a homeland for the fleeing/expelled protestants.
-Queen Elizabeth dies on the journey and is replaced in the New World with a new Monarch ( Perhaps one of the Grey Sisters?)
-The British nobles see no hope of reclaiming the homeland, eventually settling down and creating "New Albion". With characters such as Francis Drake, Humphrey Gilbert and Walter Raleigh, British America is much larger than it is OTL. Perhaps a founding of the "West India Company" further expands the colonies?
-The Dutch manage to retain colonies in Brazil.
-The British Isles experiences a war of religion (as an alternate to the war of the three kingdoms) , culminating in two republican dictatorships: One a Radical Protestant Commonwealth, and the other a Catholic Confederacy.
-In the 1700s, the Enlightenment goes into full swing, and with the addition of the OTL American revolutionaries, this Albion becomes considerably Liberal in comparison to it's European counterparts.
-Albion, after successive wars conquers most of North America.
-1783 eruption of Mount Laki is much larger, creating greater famines across Europe, leading to not only a French revolution, but revolutions in Spain and the Low countries. Europe is in a state of chaos, with Republican dictators trying to conquer the surrounding nations ( However, there is no Napoleon).
-Britain, in this period of chaos for the European powers, launches campaigns in South America, taking over most of Portuguese and Dutch Brazil and a successive British invasions of the Río de la Plata.
-Britain by the 1840s controls most of North and South America.
-Western Europe is widely Republican, with a strong Monarchical presence in Eastern Europe to rival it in the form of a "Holy Alliance"
Edit: Also I don't want Albion to be overpowered. Though Albion is certainly large, I wish it in the same way that Russia is large, but not necessarily the "top power"
Edit2: Furthermore, I was considering the Dutch or French to replace Britain as the power that controls South Africa, India and Australia.
Pardon if this post is bad, I'm still not used to posting. But I would like thoughts and opinions on the suggestion
