What if the Welsh and Cornish archers hadn't beaten the French at Cressy and Agincourt?

No English occupation of France, no long period of Anglo-French sparring and the fires of the industrial revolution to forge the cross channel arms race?

No 20th Century bloodbaths to pick up what the French couldn't handle;-)

History would suggest that they (the French) would have gone and fought somebody else,until they met somebody harder than themselves.You(the English)would have re-grouped and gone at them again.The biggest problem for the French was the number of Nobles killed at Agincourt,rather than taken alive,armour robbed (worth the price of a house in relative terms)and sold back.But a generation later,hey ho,you were all at it again.England already had lands in France,just not as much as they would have liked.

probably get a shock when they realised that their "popping out for a haggis" landed them all the way down there.

To try to draw the thread together... What if Garibaldi was more popular in Italy or more successful in the USA and the Bourbons more so in France?
