If the 1779 armada succeeds this also means that the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War is butterflied away as that didn't begin until 1780. This has huge consequences. For starters the war was pretty much a disaster for the Republic. Hunderds of merchantmen were captured, St. Eustatius, a very rich Carribean port) was sacked and destroyed and a number of colonies were lost. At the peace treaty the Netherlands lost the monopoly on spices and a colony in India.
The war and it's course caused a lot of internal problems causing the Patriottic Revolution of 1785 which in turn made the Republic a Prussian sattelite state.
