Charles II of England promised to support France's efforts to conquer the Dutch Republic in exchange for French support in returning England to the Catholic Church in the Secret Treaty of Dover. French subsidies proved to be insufficient, and Charles could not ignore Parliament. Charles did not convert until near death.
What if the French had provided more support? Obviously, Parliament will not be thrilled with an attempt to return England to Catholicism, but what happens? Is there an earlier Glorious Revolution? Does Parliament decide that the Restoration was a bad idea and establish a republic?
