The United States of America has sent two strong messages to the British Nation, that have killed hundreds of their sailors, and conscripted thousands more.
If they did not cease their hostile actions against the United States, and their vessels, there would be a complete embargo on British goods and an ending of Relations with the British.
Claims to Canada would not be recognized.
"The British Empire has ceased to be a nation that can be trusted to act in good faith, seeing as they believe themselves the greatest power in the world. They are not.

https://rolz.org/embed?jgyx2ov3nq:kqppd7dt
The Monarchs arrived in New Spain with an army, a Navy, and a mission.
To tame New Spain, and their colonial possessions, and build a new home there worthy of their Royal Status. Europe is undeniable and unstable, with the British trying to destroy the World's Navy's so that they may be the sole naval power in the world that matters.
King Charles, now King of New Spain, set about a complete restructuring of the entire Colony, making it into something that would be worthy of his Crown.
Rebels are put to death brutally, Infrastructure, long rotting, was overhauled with Gold, and investments from the Old Elite, now New Elite of the Structure, corruption was rooted out with fire and sword, and old racial laws that restricted the lower classes were put to an end, for the simple fact that there was a need for new blood, and new Dukes and counts.
His Empire was too big to be restricted to the Old Families. He would need new ones.
And news from Chile and Venezuela with news of new farming technologies and silver and gold reserves… would provide everything it would need to build a New Order.
Reward: The House of Bourbon has abandoned Spain, Taken up Residence in Mexico… Then they purged the Hell out of the Old order, replaced it with their own…
Then start a massive reform program to make the empire survive.
But with the new farming techniques and technologies they have brought over and invented, plus a Chilean Gold Rush?
They might have a chance.
AN: And that's the timeline becoming absolutely worthless.
Prepare for some True Alternate history.
Also no casulty figures unfortunately... Otherwise I would be working on this for another two hours.
