Hey Guys,
A poll will be up soon, but I need to ask for your opinions on an Anglo-Dutch Union in my TL and whether it's likely/too cliche-ish?
The very basic back-story is that the Levellers took over after the deaths of Cromwell and Ireton in the Putney Debates. Charles II and Prince James died in a Scottish Civil War. Scotland is still a Kingdom while England is a Republic, the war in ireland is ongoing.
William II, Prince of Orange has taken over Amsterdam and thus the United Provinces are under his near-dictatorship, and he hasn't died from smallpox. William II's son William (OTL William III) is now the pretender to England and Scotland, while the State-Generals have now sent an emissary to England to try and get English help.
Now then, should I have an Anglo-Dutch Union given the OTL feelings at the time as well as taking my TLs situation into account, or should I leave it and simple have the English support the Republicans in the United Provinces?
Thanks for anyone who votes or gives any comments.
