DBWI wank England

The Kingdom of England has always been at the top of the second tier of European powers, culturally and political an almost-backwater, despite several of their medieval kings also controlling parts of France. The challenge is to make England the most powerful country in the world, for at least a century.

Smaller neighboring kingdoms can be incorporated as long as the English dominate in the greater entity.

Force the Angevin kings out of France, and with their French holdings such as the large Kingdom of Anjou lost, they'd be forced to focus their efforts on building up their sole remaining base of power in England and the British Isles instead. Mind you, they'd still have a hard time dominating the Scots. And an even harder time dominating the massive Kingdom of Wales, founded by Llywelyn the Great, which came to rule over the entire swathe of Britain South and West of the Pennines, even managing to swallow up the former territories of the fallen Kingdom of Wessex. Actually, come to think of it- what if the Kingdom of Wessex hadn't fallen to the Danish invaders? Could that have been a good starting point?
