Point of Divergence ... Before the arrival of Saint Patrick in Ireland (the exact time is not recorded, but most scholars agree it was during the second half of the 5th century), Ireland was a mostly pagan nation with its roots in Druid worship. Many legends are associated with Patrick during his time in Ireland, the most famous being that he banished all the snakes from the land. Whether the legends are true or not is a matter of debate, but Patrick's arrival in Ireland did signal a beginning of a conversion of the island from the Old Ways to those of Christianity.
Let's say Patrick never went to Ireland but remained in Britain. Would the country of Ireland had been converted to Christianity still, or would Ireland have remained pagan? And how does this impact history?
