Map from Code Geass - why not?But I really wonder, would the probable success of the British in suppressing the rebellion be a blessing or a curse? How would the history of the British Empire be affected by the presence of large and not very loyal territories with huge economic and business potential within it?Would the North American possessions of the crown become a constant source of problems or a potential core of renewal, where the capital would be moved over time? A reliable rear of the Empire or a bottomless pit of instability where Britain's valuable resources will go?What do you think?
There would have been another civil war/rebellion in the 1800s, probably on the same lines due to parliament being completely unable to rule such a large empire. It's just how the English world was. From the time of William I>the anarchy>the barons wars>the wars of the roses>the english civil war>the american revolution>the american civil warAnd many more minor risings. >code geassKeep in mind that in that universe Hanoverian succession isn't a thing. Elizabeth III reigned over Washington's rebellion and fled before Napoleon's victory at Edinburgh.

>>17436908Because America soaked up the malcontents leaving just the good little loyalists while also spurring parliament to be less retarded. Then all those malcontents got together and had a nice American civil war.
>>17436908they gave up ruling directly over the colonies and let them have de facto independence not long after the USA independence
