What if Queen Anne I didn't name her brother, James, as her successor? This would mean that the main line Stuarts aren't restored to the throne of England. I heard that Anne I planned to have her distant cousin, George of Hanover(I think) made her successor. This would be rather hard as I doubt that the English would support a German over a full Englishman(even a Catholic). And one who could nearly speak English!!! Still, let's flip a switch and say the Hanoverians take over. Does this mean the union between England and Scotland stays? Would there still be the English Empire, or the Twenty Years War? What if?
