What if England conquers France in the 14th or early 15th century? I'm no expert on the period, but here are my basic postulates.
- Provided it can hold together, the United Kingdom of England-France would be the toughest kid on the block by far. It would be one big mama. I can foresee almost all-European alliances against this monster.
- No Wars of Roses. The English nobles wouldn't decimate each other in internecine struggles. This means the English merchant class remains relatively much weaker. The industrial revolution and capitalism may be delayed for a whole while unless saved by butterflies.
