Inspired by the thread about Roman Industrialization; can we do it backwards and derail European Industrialization with a PoD in the 17th century?
Obviously you'd need to decapitate the English Textile Industry, and reduce the markets Europe can put capital into. Another important necessity is prevent agricultural advances in England and the Low Countries, reducing populations and keeping subsistence farmers around and this destroying the class of urban workers that drove industrialization.
However, the restrictions are that you can't change anything before the 17th century, and the Europeans still need to control the New World. They can be shut out from Indian Ocean Trade and lose colonies outside of the New World, however.
Can this be done? Could a combination of a stagnant English society and a lack of enough capital cause the Industrial Revolution to be cancelled? If so, could a similar Age of Enlightenment still happen, and would European colonization of the New World continue despite not having the advantages of an industrial society?
Assuming the Europeans get booted out of the Spice trade, could India industrialize itself? Or will all of these changes only delay European Industrialization by a couple decades?
