0:01 / 12:12 What if the Reconquista Failed?

Promised complicated Scottish history. There was a major bubble in which the Scottish ruling classes all invested in a future colony in Panama called the Darien plan. The English, not wanting Scotland to get to powerful and develop a colonial empire refused to trade with it. Without English trade allyship, the colony failed and the bubble collapsed. This created a massive recession. The English promised to bail out the economy if they joined the Union. The loyalists to the Stewarts had recently been destroyed at the battle of the Boyne, thus leaving Unionists more powerful. Even this is just skimming the complicated surface. I reccomend you continue to research it is you are interested. If the Reconquista failed Mexico would speak English and North Germany would be controlled by Sweden. England would be Catholic and Holland would be the first nation to round the Cape of Good Hope, to find out how watch this alternate history.
