British Isles (Iberian Wedding)

The history of the British Isles changes drastically from OTL after the War of the Protestant League. England never comes to dominate the Celtic peoples (came close to full occupying Ireland), and instead it is Scotland Ireland and Wales who find riches in the Colonial Game.

England
Before the War of the Protestant League, England had domination of the British Isles in it's grasp. Following the Spanish-French Invasion during the war, England lost all of it's holdings in Ireland and was forced to cede Northumbria to Scotland and release Wales as an independent nation. It's only ally at the time, Denmark-Norway,  wasn't much help when it came to finacial aid, and in result the economy of England collapses as the Government could not pay off it's loans. Edward III of the Tudor House, saw his nation torn to shreds as nobles and peasants alike revolted nation-wide. The Great English Civil War of 1605 resulted in the English monarchy giving in to the rebellion's demands after 3 long years of war. Edward was forced to abdicate the throne, becoming the last Tudor ever to be in power. In 1608 Parliament found itself in a tough situation. The Nobles called for a retrogression back into a Feudal Government, while the Common folks called for a Republic. Desperately wanting stability, Parliament offered Prince Christian of Denmark-Norway the throne. He was a man of great reputation, and helped his brother King Frederik of Denmark save his nation from the same economic stall. Christian's reforms saved the English Monarchy, and order was restored. King Christian rose to the throne, and England was now ruled by the House of Wittelsbach, a dynasty that even rivaled the Habsburgs; it saw members rise to the thrones of Hungary, Denmark and even saw the cornation of a Holy Roman Emperor. Relations between England and Denmark-Norway grew to a point where one King could inherit the other's title if that King had no heir to the throne. This never happens, but the Wittelsbach stay in power in England until the 1900s, when the King dies and Parliament favors a local English noble instead. King Christian's authority remained challenged until his death 11 years later, as the Houses of York and Lancaster fought hard in the War of the Roses to establish their dynasty on the throne. These Houses become extinct within the next century, and after then Wittelsbach legitmacy is never questioned. By Christian's death, England was once again a stable country, but it now had to deal with the rising Celtic States and the powerful Franco-Spanish Alliance.
