I suppose to some extent the question is obviously "Yes. Look at Portugal and Brazil."

(I mean a monarchy decamping to its American colonies, not the British conquest of Japan).

And to a certain extent, I thought this was going to be where LTTW was gonna end up. But more specifically, I meant this in the context of Britain.

If it happens to early (say, a flight to the colonies during the Civil War), and you just end up with whoever is in control of Britain sending troops to subdue the unruly colonies on the margins of the colonial world.

On the other hand, if it's around 1790 or 1802, then it's hard to see how Britain could lose, although the same issues come into play. Hrmm.
