Monarchy vs. America

After clashing with Britain in 1812, America did not fight a monarchy again until the Spanish-American War. Many European countries did not like this and the German Kaiser even urged concerted action to, more or less, put the Americans in their place. However, none did so because, again, the British Empire decided it was wiser to support America rather than Spain which, still struggling with seemingly endless Carlist Wars, was a rapidly declining power. Around the same time there was also the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy by American interests and that is something that Hawaiians certainly have a right to be upset about. Not too many do though as it is a very liberal state and has come to depend on the largesse of the government in Washington. Hawaiians are also a tiny minority in the state and in any democratic decision on the matter would be easily outvoted.

So my question is what if Britain decides to withdraw behind the Channel, not concern itself with the matter; and the Kaiser et al form their concerted action? What might the results be? If only that Spain perhaps limps away in ever-so-slightly better form than OTL?

Like a Habsburg Empire vs America this would be an epic tl
 
The results would be a disaster for the forces of reaction. No one has the navy to effectively attack the US, and their holdings in America are all vulnerable to US invasion. They could maybe fight a naval war on the American Merchant Marine and probably really hurt the bank accounts of the American bourgeois, but that's only going to make the US a staunch ally of France.
