Every 5th of November, Britain celebrates Guy Fawkes Night.

It commemorates the attempt by English Catholics to blow up the Houses of Parliament (during the State Opening of Parliament, were James I would be attending). As you may or may not know, it did not succeed.

However what if it did succeed? (There was enough gunpowder to blow it up). What would have happened afterward in the British Isles, Europe and elsewhere and and how would things be different in ITTL 2014?
