On England -- IIRC, Phillip wanted to install his daughter Isabella to the throne (I think he was somehow claiming it through his dead wife, Mary... yeah) Still a good possibility he'd settle for a Stuart, though...
I checked it out, apparently the only time that Isabella was mentioned with England in the same sentance was in the film, Elizabeth, so I can't really see it as being accurate or factual.
Actually, during the same time as the Spanish Armada, Henri IV had just taken the throne. In the aftermath of the Spanish Armada, Parma's invasion force for England was used instead to invade France.On France -- Phillip II wasn't the type, esp. in his early years, to say no to a war, even if he had a lot of other problems on his plate (joined the Hapsburg league while fighting a Dutch rebellion, etc); so I can easily see him going ahead with his French intervention. The Hughenots would, I have to think, demoralized upon hearing the fate of England; Cardinal de Bourbon taking the throne may be possible...
Yeah, I can't really see much changing in the short term. Of course, in the long term there'll probably be a lot of different consequences.On the Netherlands -- Unsure; on the one hand, they're losing a major ally in England, even if they never got direct support; OTOH, Spain had tried OTL to retake the Dutch for decades without success, so it may be less of an impact than that...
