What would the cost to European stability have been if James 2 won? What would the actual cost to the Irish people have been if James 2 had won?

France supported James for political reasons off their own using the Irish. If James succeeded it would have been more detrimental for the Catholic Church, the Pope knew that and supported William. If not what was he doing supporting the so called protestant side?

We have allowed this to escalate into the mess it is, our ignorance. Would we have any trouble if James had won? Too simplistic.

James 2 was going to give his Irish supporters a right Royal screwing, the very people who were fighting to keep him on the throne. He was planning to remove Irish people who were in charge and replace them with his own. In short he was going to totally decimate the Irish, read up on it and ask what some of our ancestors were thinking about.
