| - In 1426, Scotland decided to follow the Danes & Dutch on their trips, established colonies around Cape Cod, which was called New Scotland ITTL. But as soon as 1463/64, England defeated Scotland and took their colony, which was renamed New England, of course. The capital of the colony, Perth beyond the Ocean, was renamed after the winner of the battle, Boston. England slowly extended its settlements, until they went from OTL Bar Harbor, Maine, to New Haven, Connecticut. But now they found that the Danish colonies along St Lawrence river together with Prince-Harald-Island and Anderland formed a belt around the English colonies. After some clashes with Danish colonists in Atlantis, the Quadruple Monarchy declared the anti-Danish War against Denmark 1509. The Dutch allied with them. In the peace of Hamburg in 1512, Denmark lost its lands in Canada to the Quadruple Monarchy and Anderland to the Netherlands. Only the city of Haraldsborg (OTL New York, plus Long Island) and Prince-Haralds-Land (Newfoundland, as a base for fishermen) stayed in their hands. (And the former went to New England after the English-Polish War for a short time too.) When the Triple Monarchy of England-Castille-Portugal broke apart in the Old World in 1628, most of the colonies declared their loyalty to Spain (OK, former Castille, right). Only a few islands in the Caribbean and the northern colonies in OTL Canada and New England stayed loyal to king Henry VI. But when the king was deposed and England fell into Civil War, in 1637 the Dissenter's Revolt took place in New England. Denmark-Braunschweig, supported by France, used the situation to expand there / take old lands back. Only Markland (Canadian Maritimes and OTL Quebec) could defend itself during this decades, ironically, thanks to its strong garrison. Denmark-Braunschweig got Haraldsborg back, plus became protector of the Commonwealth of New England (the dissenters preferred "the papist German king in Europe to the papist English governor in Markland"). German immigration now also went to New England, where many new settlements were founded. English loyalists emigrated to Markland.
