I wonder how did they get to Holland and conquer it?
By water obviously . Anyways England being wildly successful in the third anglo-dutch war would be a reasonable historical alteration no? That was the one where they were in an unholy alliance with the French, so presuming the French were more successful in this timeline than OTL, and the English were more ambitious, England could've lucked out on conquering the Dutch and taking out their chief commercial and maritime rivals in Europe.

@GM: With regards to Choson's history, the point of divergence goes back a bit further than you stated (basically I'm having the Ming dynasty last a few decades longer than it did OTL, with the time constituting the period when Korea conquered the Manchu/Jurchens) and I hope this is alright. Its a more natural point of divergence than 1700 at any rate. Incidentally I've also updated my history a bit to account for the "Celestial Empire' (which I'm rationalising as a consolidation of the south after about a century of warring states post-Ming under a single imperial dynasty [which I'm calling the Shun Dynasty, after the rebels that toppled the Ming before being immediately squashed by the Manchu Qing dynasty])
