Question: British Arkhangelsk?

Tangier and Bombay were the dowry of Catherine of Braganza to Charles II when they married. The English lost Tangier, but kept Bombay.

There should be an AH where England keeps Tangiers if there isn't one yet. It sounds promising and raises a whole lot of butterflies about Anglo-Iberian and Anglo-Moroccan relations. No need to keep Gibraltar, for starters.
 
Splendid!

In that case, Menorca remains the gun pointed at Toulon and Britain might grab the Balearics.

But a British Tangiers might mean a British Morocco or more. Those pesky Barbary Pirates won't like it up 'em, sir, they won't...

Spanish relations will be different and France may not get Algeria (Algerie n'est pas Francais).

Yes, because it worked so well IOTL and England totally never lost a war. :rolleyes:

And grabbing the Balearics won't change spanish relations, in fact, you're taking an entire province as opposed to a shitty fishing village nobody really cared about.
