The Bloodless Revolution

Charles has died and there is a new king almost them. The only thing that seems to be wrong is that he is Roman Catholic. No one in London likes this because they are afraid that will be given to the pope. While as the new king James was king he had a heir to the throne which didn't make London happy because now they would have to deal with this for another generation. Soon enough because there was so much pressure on James that he and his family fled to France. His daughter Mary and her Dutch husband William of Orange which were Protestant took over the throne.

Because this occurred London was now Protestant. This changed history magnetically. Why? Because this was the first time London did not have to behead a king to get rid of him and second London has stayed Protestant since then. This is very religious so I have to say that because London did not want to get turned over to the Pope is understandable because that certain religion wanted to have control and I believe many of the Londoners did not want that to happen again and I do not blame them to want their freedom.
