  • That one time Scotland thought they could try colonizing Central America and failed miserably, forcing them to sign the act of union and become part of the United Kingdom.

    The worst that can happen is that our colony will fail a we'll have to stop with our colonial ambitions.
    Meanwhile: You invest so much in the colony, and it doesn't work out, that in order not to go bankrupt, you have to allow yourself to be subjugated by your greatest enemy.

      @@hobbabobba7912they are /were literally the definition of enemies, if it weren’t for the Darien scheme the union probably wouldn’t have happened . The act of union occupies a pretty small part of the history of the British isles. I don’t know if England would have respected Scotland enough to see it as a genuine enemy or adversary as opposed to an inconvenience or annoyance

    Oh, but it gets better. In March 24th, 1603 queen Elizabeth I died childless and the throne of England passed to her cousin, king James VI of Scotland (and I of England), unifying the two . There was a bit of kerfuffle with the English civil war and king William of Orange but eventually, on March 8th, 1702, queen Anne became queen of England and Scotland. Just like her great-grandfather, the aforementioned king James VI and I of Scotland and England, she was a member of the Scottish house of Stuart and it was under her that the act of union of 1707 was passed. So, technically, when this whole scheme started Scotland was the senior member of the union between it and England. And they ended up not only losing their senior position but their independence as well. Well done!

      Scotland had already been in a personal union with England and started speaking English for roughly 70ish years already. England was already a major power by this time and would only become stronger. Scotland would remain independent for longer but not until the modern day

      Scotland had increasing ties with the English to this point and beyond. We cannot say with certainty but it seemed inevitable or at least likely.

    Such events like new Caledonia either become simplified jokes when it's a disaster
    or become extra ammunition for those still holding on to believing 'great man theory' for when said event is proclaimed as a success.
