So, there have been more than a few TL's and maps where Henry the Eighth gets that son he wants or the annulment and doesn't declare a Church of England. But I've never seen a detailed account of the differences this frankly huge POD causes. Often it seems like people assume an England very similar to OTL, just Catholic.
I want to see what you all have to say about that.
What I want to know is how England develops in that situation. Does protestantism still catch on in certain segments of the population anyway? If it does, how does the monarchy react? Without the money gained from taking church lands in England or the conflict the split created with the Catholic powers, how does the English military and such develop? Does it, and by extension the British state, still gain the prestigious political standing it did IOTL?
How does this affect Ireland? Scotland?
Have at it!
