When the US Civil War started, the South wrongfully assumed that Great Britain and France would come to their aid because it was further assumed that a "cotton famine" would result from the loss of Southern cotton. However, the loss was made up for by Indian and Egyptian cotton. If, for whatever reason, those cotton crops failed in 1861-62, would it increase the chances of Great Britain and/or France intervening on behalf of the CSA?
