So, let's say that Harold Macmillan drops dead before Suez Crisis. So, when Americans threathen to make a attack on pound, he can't give advice to Eden to yield and so Britain and France doesn't retreat from Suez so soon.
Is this plausible?
And what if UK outraged by "American treachery" decides to go with France to establish close political, military, economical etc. partnership? Not union, but close partnership.
Consequences?
