I'm thinking of having this happen in a TL I'm doing, and my question is, how would this affect British history? I'm thinking the influence of Parliament might be lessened (it was important in OTL because the king had to have its approval to pass tax increases, a need which goes away if he can just wait for the next load of silver from Potosi) leading to England turning into an absolute monarchy. How would this affect the development of democracy-would it be pushed back some? How else would the world change?
